Recent ATmosphere posts, sponsorships, and cosponsorships.
Trump’s MO is to over promise & under deliver. Real recovery will depend on a genuine peace agreement—more than just opening the Strait & more talk. Whether the world is safe from a nuclear armed Iran remains to be seen.
Black Rock Day Parade in Bridgeport with cloudless skies & wonderful crowds. Known as the “Best Little Parade in America.” Thanks to Parade Chair Phil Blagys, in charge since 1994.
Norwalk’s Pride on the Park, an amazing celebration of great people for a vital cause. Wonderful spirit & energy!
No surprise in Trump’s DOJ corruptly approving the Paramount-Warner Bros merger—after their fierce lobbying, threats to DOJ lawyers, & CBS censorship. State AGs must move to block it.
My Republican colleagues need to listen to veterans. We must pass the Major Richard Star Act to ensure combat-injured veterans receive the benefits they have rightfully earned & deserve—a measure that Senate Republicans have blocked 6 times now. substack.com/home/post/p-...
Strategic voter suppression—that’s the blatant purpose & effect of the U.S. Postal Service’s new proposed rule—to compile voter lists & deny mail in ballots to anyone it deems ineligible. Such screening of voter lists would be clearly unconstitutional & reprehensible.
The UFC "Claw" constructed on the south lawn for Trump’s Sunday night fight is a masterclass in marketing & corruption. Sponsor ads line every side, with these payments & others largely undisclosed as to who really benefits & how much. I am looking into it through PSI.
Thank you @msrachelforlittles.bsky.social for sharing letters from children who have been detained at the Dilley Immigration Detention Center. Their stories show the abject cruelty of the Trump Administration's immigration policies—we must put an end to such inhumanity.
“I love the inflation.” Maybe the only true words from Trump about the Iran War. He loves our misery. Stupid & cruel—hallmarks of this administration. Trump is flailing as he sinks deeper into military & political quicksand, causing rising costs & pain.
The resources to pay for these wounds of war could come from the Department of Defense, not other disabled veterans. I will continue to fight for the Major Richard Star Act. 3
If Republicans insist on an offset in funding, which actually is unnecessary, then it should come from the Department of Defense, which has trillions of dollars available. In fact, the relevant programs are part of the Department of Defense, not VA. 2/
Correcting this injustice for combat-injured veterans should be done without depriving other veterans of benefits they need & deserve which this Republican package would do. 1/
Too slow, too meager & too dangerous. The CFTC is showing once again that it’s nothing more than a tool of Kalshi & Polymarket, encouraging addictive gambling, fraudulent bets & national security risks rather protecting consumers & public safety.
The brave officers who sprang to action in defense of the Capitol on January 6th are heroes not 'dirty cops.' President Trump's disdain for the law enforcers who defended our democracy is detestable.
Hot cars can become death traps for children & pets. As summer heat descends, please remember to look before you lock.
I’m also demanding DOT Sec. Duffy finally implement long-overdue rules to ensure car manufacturers install life-saving tech to prevent hot car deaths.
He’ll have a torturous confirmation—with ferocious opposition from me & others. It should be bipartisan.
Blanche is the most disgraceful, corrupt nominee for AG in American history. Instead of enforcing the law, he has championed Trump’s breaking it. Nothing has been too shamefully low, degrading & disgracing the entire DOJ.
I’m proud to work with @frost.house.gov the bicameral Right to Record Act that will strengthen the right to record, observe, & peacefully protest—creating real enforcement tools for the protections of the First Amendment that lay the foundation for our democracy. 3
Without recordings, we wouldn’t know the truth of what happened to Renee Nicole Good, Alex Pretti, Marimar Martinez, George Retes, & so, so many others. The right to bear witness has never been more important. 2/
