Recent ATmosphere posts, sponsorships, and cosponsorships.
Concealed contributions, signaling corrupt pay to play— more & larger government contracts, gutted regulations, deep-sixed investigations. I will be expanding my inquiry through the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.

Russians call it “human safari.” Their slang for bomb-hunting civilians highlights their abject inhumanity. Another church hit last night— this time in Kramatorsk— killing parishioners.
A perfect storm—home heating oil nearly doubling in price, crushing families hit with higher costs for groceries, gas & everyday necessities. We must demand increased LIHEAP aid, despite Trump attempts to end it. A moral imperative.
I’m leading my colleagues in demanding the President rescind the disastrous Russian diesel deal. Appeasement spurs Putin to ignore serious peace talks, & the diesel debacle shows abject weakness. 1/
Putting blood money in Putin’s pocket, Trump makes America complicit in Russia’s slaughtering innocent Ukrainians. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...
President Zelenskyy & Ukraine need & deserve magnified American support— not sabotaging insults. Recent Trump Administration threats undercut Ukraine’s brave fight & American security interests. 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump’s latest investigative ploy is another sign that Yale & other schools need to stand strong— together— not bend & negotiate. thehill.com/homenews/edu...
The President’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian diesel is an embarrassment & makes us complicit in Putin’s war against Ukraine. 1/
MDC's Tunnel Pump Station will help prevent untreated stormwater & sewage from flowing into the CT River—huge progress to make the river healthier & our state's environment cleaner. Thank you MDC for your work protecting CT's waterways.
Proud to stand with Interval House marking the start of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. We must work together to break the cycle of domestic abuse—I'll continue to fight to make sure we have the resources & support needed to combat this scourge.
A reflective, meaningful Yom Kippur to all observing, & an easy fast. May this new year be healthy, peaceful & happy for you & your family.
Russia’s leaders calling the new sanctions law a “Russophobic abomination” shows how scared they are of its potential to throttle oil & gas revenue. Having signed it, Trump must now implement it, aggressively & promptly, to help bring Putin to peace talks.
Bringing together Stamford’s diverse, beautiful community, the Longest Table inaugural event was a stupendous success. Hundreds gather to meet, eat, laugh & bond. Thanks to volunteers & supporters!
Reputable, reliable outlets you’re banning from the White House, Mr. President, don’t “purposely write negative news.” They report accurately on your negative policies that have negative impacts on Americans.
Friends at the Orange Fair—enjoying spectacular food, blue skies, rides & more. Always a great time.
On the Senate Judiciary Committee, I’ll be demanding an investigation into Trump’s DOJ protocols & policies concerning dangerous flight risks like Kosta Diamantis. www.courant.com/2026/09/19/k...
Happy 79th birthday to the U.S. Air Force! Today we celebrate the brave men & women who fly & fight for our country. Your service & sacrifice help secure our freedom.
I’m grateful for the swift signing of this bill & hopeful it will be followed by quick action to implement it. Every day Ukraine remains under a barrage of missile & drone strikes risks more death & destruction on the battlefield&in Ukraine’s cities. www.cbsnews.com/video/trump-...
Great news that the Supreme Court has struck down Trump’s unconstitutional, unconscionable directive using USPS as an instrument to suppress the vote. It never should have been necessary, & his assault on our election system is far from finished.
