Proud to celebrate the women-owned businesses strengthening CT's economy. Thanks to the Women's Business Development Council for your dedicated work supporting women entrepreneurs on their paths to success.
This mob-like threat is appallingly un-American—abhorrent authoritarianism. On our 250th anniversary as a free people, let’s remember one of the reasons for our revolution was religious liberty. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-offici...
Proud to visit with firefighters in Norfolk to discuss their clear need for a new pumper truck. I'll seek funding through the congressionally directed spending process to help.
Inspiring leadership from Sport & Medical Sciences Academy students standing against the harms of sports betting. We need clear, enforceable rules for the sports betting industry to ensure protecting young people is prioritized over profits.
Trump’s illegal war in Iran is causing energy prices to soar, & CT residents are feeling the pain with higher utility bills. CT families are paying at least $217 more to heat their homes with oil—all because of a war Americans don't want. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/08/s...
Especially as we head into summer traveling season, Trump's lax DOT must act to prevent price gouging of consumers following to his catastrophic war Iran.
Trump’s pointless war has skyrocketed energy prices & now airlines are raising fees & charges. Travelers will get hit with the expense of higher fuel costs, even as airlines keep their profits. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/t...
Great to join firefighters like Edward St. John honored at annual Firefighters Assn. Dinner last week. Dedicated heroes in a vital profession.
We will also be pushing the Dept IG to conclude its reported investigation as quickly & comprehensively as possible. Cooperation by Sec. Mullin is imperative.
Our inquiry with @welch.senate.gov is focused on evidence of alleged fraud, waste & mismanagement in contract awards involving Sec. Noem & top leaders at DHS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Excited to announce funding for the Windham Region Chamber of Commerce Foundation for services that benefit the wellbeing of veterans. Our nation’s veterans deserve the best we have to offer—& this funding will ensure they receive the support they deserve.
All for a war that Trump cannot even begin to explain & that has achieved none of his constantly shifting & contradictory objectives. A ceasefire for the American people is no victory.
A ceasefire is good news—only because this purposeless war should be ended as soon as possible. The best time to cease fire was before the war began, & before Trump wasted tens of billions, cost thousands of lives, triggered global economic & energy crisis.
Honored to award St. Francis Hospital $1.5 million in federal funding for their services to help survivors of violence. Thank you to their staff, volunteers, & all involved in helping to heal the physical & psychological wounds of trauma.
DHS's threat to remove customs services from CT is just another example of lawless bullying from the Trump Administration—punishing states for refusing to bend the knee to Trump's reckless, harmful immigration policies. www.reuters.com/world/dhs-sa...
Time for an intervention by Rubio/Wiles/Kushner or any Trump whisperer who can pull him back from this self-precipitated precipice.
Desperate or deranged, or both— that’s how “destroying civilizations” sounds as a threat. Scary beyond words as a threat from the President of the United States. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...
Thanks to all our CT teams for your grit, skill & determination—the UConn men’s & women’s basketball teams & the Fairfield women’s basketball team— making us proud!
Great visit along with Mayor Singh to Norwich businesses supporting & strengthening our state's local economy. Thank you Rose City Learning Center, Jewish Family Services of Greenwich, Royal Punjabi Restaurant, & Mercantile Exchange for your dedication to our community.
