At Catherine’s Butterfly Party, largest single day pet adoption event in CT, a legacy of Catherine Hubbard, who tragically lost her life at Sandy Hook, & loved animals. More than 10,000 people attended in Newtown under sun-filled skies.
Trump's lease sale in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is just another cash grab. The Arctic Refuge's ecologically & culturally significant public lands must be protected from Trump's disastrous business plans. apnews.com/article/alas...
Impressed & inspired by all the CT advocates leading the way to make our neighborhoods safer from the scourge of gun violence. On National Gun Violence Prevention Day, we recommit to fighting for commonsense measures that save lives.
Cruelty is the point. Thanks to this brave whistleblower’s disclosure, we have more evidence that the Trump Admin used DOGE not just to recklessly slash government programs—they were looking for ways to purposefully hurt people, especially immigrants.
I’ll fight for National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) provisions supporting Ukraine as it turns the tide. In next week’s Senate Armed Services Committee markup, I’m hoping for bipartisan support—because Americans stand with Ukraine, repulsed by Putin’s war criminal killing. 7
Ukraine will win if we give them the means to finish to job. Air defense against Russia’s aerial reign of terror, sanctions against buyers of Russian oil & gas, crackdown on its shadow fleet, & more. 5/
Putin’s escalating cruelty & inhumanity are beyond words. Last night alone—656 drones & 73 missiles—aimed at civilian targets, like apartment buildings & malls, energy facilities & hospitals, which I saw during my visit. 3/
I saw firsthand the courage & fortitude of Ukraine’s people as I was hustled down stairs into concrete walled bomb shelters just days ago during my visit to Kyiv & Odesa—my tenth in the last four years. Repeatedly, at all hours, day & night. 2/
Most impressively, amidst all the pain & grief, we saw a kindness & humanity in Ukrainians reaching out & caring for each other—offering food, shelter, clothing—a moving antithesis to Putin’s bloody aggression. 5
