The Trump admin should retract these attempts to silence political speech & force religious institutions into becoming de facto enforcers of DHS/ICE’s discriminatory immigration enforcement programs. Our communities will be less safe without these grants.

Sec. Noem’s “new terms & conditions” would bar these community groups from receiving grants to help prevent bombings, gun violence, & more if they help immigrants or support programs that fight against discrimination.
Withholding federal money that helps nonprofits & religious institutions protect themselves from violent, extremist attacks unless they bend to the MAGA agenda is dangerous & disgusting.
I’m pinching myself—it’s not a dream. This magnificent team does better every inning, every game. True champions! Keep going!
After crippling cuts to commissioners & staff, the CPSC has become a shadow enforcer. Bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo is no substitute for real action protecting consumers. www.cpsc.gov/About-CPSC/C...
Well deserved disaster aid—$53 million—for CT farmers. A tough fight united us—it should never have been so difficult or delayed. More reform in the farm insurance & assistance programs is clearly necessary.
These guys have captured our hearts. Their grit & guts are captivating. They’re winners, no matter what happens next. Congratulations Fairfield National!
We’re reminded today that federal resources are necessary to protect local infrastructure, homes & businesses. It is common sense & cost effective.
Honored to join Naugatuck Valley communities to mark the anniversary of last year’s destructive, deadly floods. Towns have come together to rebuild with greater resiliency against future natural disasters.
Something for everyone at the Bridgewater Country Fair. A wonderful time for family & friends.
Prolonged bloodshed, death & destruction—Putin’s goal—will be stopped only through a ceasefire, which Putin will accept only under crushing pressure, military & economic. The necessary next step—stiff sanctions on Russia’s enablers. 5
Trump’s tariffs on India (& talk of others) are an economic hammer. Our bill is a sledgehammer. Use it now to stop Putin from stalling & playing the President. 4/
Monday’s Big Power meeting should resolve to shut the spigot of oil & gas revenues—sending Putin’s tottering economy spiraling down. 3/
With 85 bipartisan Senate cosponsors, the Graham-Blumenthal bill can pass overwhelmingly, sending Putin a message of strength & unity in support for Ukraine—the only path to peace. 2/
Putin’s worst nightmare isn’t tariffs on Russia, it’s scorching sanctions on his oil & gas customers—China, India, Brazil & others— provided in our Graham-Blumenthal bill. 1/
A cloudless sun filled day at the annual Hamburg Fair in Lyme—where a good time was had by all. (Almost all.)
Get tough. Stop China, India, Brazil & others from propping up Putin’s failing economy. Otherwise he’ll continue playing & delaying— diplomatic rope-a-dope. He wants time to prolong his bloody slaughter.
When Zelenskyy visits Monday, Trump must commit to sales of vital arms for transfer to Ukraine. And scorching sanctions—an economic sledgehammer—in our Graham-Blumenthal bill.
A potentially historic turning point—showing strength supporting Ukraine is key to peace, after Putin’s optics triumph & Trump’s weak retreat. Bromantic coddling, reversing his ceasefire insistence (& more) only embolden Putin—a KGB thug who understands only force. time.com/7310116/trum...
An amazing win by true champions. All CT is cheering for Fairfield National! You’re making us all proud!
