Unbelievably beautiful day at the Wolcott Fair, with tremendous crowds under a cloudless sky. Amazing food, music, vendors, rides, & more. Thank you Wolcott Lions for all your great work!
Fantastic win for Fairfield’s Little League! Congratulations to great players, coaches, parents & fans on the Metro League championship. Cheering for you in the World Series. www.courant.com/2025/08/08/f...
This summit is Putin’s dream meeting—no preconditions, no sanctions, no Zelenskyy, no Europeans, on American soil, enabling his bloody assault & amassing land to continue. The First Lady said it well, Putin will tell you what you want to hear—then bomb another Ukrainian city.
The Trump-Putin summit is Ukraine’s nightmare—& will be ours, if we retreat on the Graham-Blumenthal Russia Sanctions bill.
Congress cannot aid & abet Trump’s potential appeasement—or his amnesia, forgetting Putin murders civilians, kidnaps children, & is a war criminal. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/10/u...
Proud to attend Max Mihalov’s Eagle Scout Court of Honor. An extraordinarily impressive young man with an exciting future. Congrats to him & parents Lois & Paul. Scouting contributes so much.
Thank you New Britain for honoring Purple Heart recipients. Proud to join you.
Honoring Purple Heart recipients, & all veterans, in Norwalk with Mayor Harry Rilling. A beautiful, inspiring ceremony.
Big Tech's track record of protecting children is abysmal—Meta's new Instagram map feature is no different. Our nation's children deserve meaningful online protections. Meta must abandon this dangerous feature. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
With appeasement, Trump will deserve the Nobel Peace Prize as much as Neville Chamberlain. History will be harsh.
Equally fierce will be rejection of appeasement by European allies, who are committed to Ukraine’s brave fight. Fiercest of all: resistance by the people of Ukraine whose blood, sweat & tears have repelled Putin’s murderous, merciless assault.
If Trump adopts appeasement as his Putin summit strategy, he should find stiff resistance in Congress—& the American public—where there’s overwhelming support for scorching sanctions on Russia in the Graham-Blumenthal bill. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Milford’s Joan Braun spent 2 weeks in Ukraine as a nurse with Global Care Force this summer providing critical care to Ukrainian residents in 10 different villages cut off by the war. Her courage, empathy, & heroism are inspiring.
Putin has shown zero sign of wanting peace or even a ceasefire, as he continues to murderously bomb Ukrainian children & families & commit unspeakable atrocities like holding more than 20,0000 kidnapped Ukrainian children. 6/6
Any meeting with Putin should include President Zelensky & involve our European allies, who have stepped forward so significantly to support Ukraine. A ceasefire should be a summit condition, as President Trump has previously insisted. 5/
Trump is undercutting his own credibility, & America’s, by wavering on sanctions & assenting to a hastily arranged one-on-one meeting after making deeply alarming remarks about swapping territories. 4/
This legislation is supported by 85 Senators & approving it would show unity across our government in support of confronting Putin’s bloody atrocities against Ukraine. 3/
It would impose bone-crushing sanctions on Russia’s oil & gas customers like China, India & Brazil that are fueling Putin’s war machine. 2/
Trump appears to be dodging his own deadline & ducking immediate sanctions action despite Putin’s blatant defiance. Trump’s delay emphasizes the need for the Graham-Blumenthal Russia Sanctions Bill. 1/
