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.
Americans are being scammed out of billions of dollars while Trump is using crypto to turn the presidency into a profit generating machine. The Clarity Act’s weak rules & carveouts would supercharge fraud & undermine law enforcement.
Trump is using crypto to cash in on the presidency—selling access to the highest bidder & raking in the money from foreign governments. We need strong legislation that ends this self-dealing & corruption—not half measures like the Clarity Act.
More than a voluntary system of independent auditors is necessary for AI oversight. It must be a statutorily established regimen, with power to determine whether models & new products are safe & effective, just as independent scientists are authorized to do under the FDA. 1/
Horror & heroism, what we lost & learned—all comes rushing back. Crushing memories of searing grief & shock. Awe at a wondrous unity of purpose & heart. After 25 years, 9/11 is no less real. 1/
Spectacular annual Newtown Labor Day parade—cloudless skies, enthusiastic crowds, energetic marchers, all celebrating a great American tradition. Thanks to Newtown's tireless organizers.
