Water safety matters. As summer swimming begins, this CDC money is minuscule—compared to the total federal budget—but the life saving impact could be significant. Cutting it seems dumb & cruel. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Unacceptably, they won’t answer our questions. We need accountability.
Top VA political appointees are in denial—dismissing & disregarding the real impacts of their draconian cuts in workforce & resources. More than morale, access to health care & benefits are increasingly threatened. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
As Memorial Day closes, Americans may better appreciate its meaning in this poem, a powerfully poignant remembrance by one of our nation’s decorated heroes. A stirring reminder of war’s cost. www.theatlantic.com/books/archiv...
Proud to stand with DVA Commissioner Ron Welch & veterans attending Memorial Day Ceremony at our State Veterans Cemetery in Middletown. It has never looked more poignantly, powerfully beautiful.
A spectacular ceremony in Greenwich/Glenville after it parade, marking this special Memorial Day with a thank you to the fallen & all their loved ones— & all veterans too.
Monroe’s ceremony— following its spirited parade— was inspiring & impressive. The town’s patriotism is a great model.
Great to see Boy Scouts, school bands & many other centers of young talent at Monroe’s Memorial Day Parade. Role models & mentors they meet & see here will inspire them to seek public service.
On this uniquely American holiday, we pay tribute to the brave men & women who gave everything to defend our precious freedoms. On Memorial Day, we thank our nation's heroes for their service & sacrifice & dedicate ourselves to honoring them with action.
Wonderful Memorial Day parade in Redding, with crowds and firetrucks from surrounding towns. Inspiring and memorable, as always.
Isolate Putin’s economy on a trade island.
America is complicit in these hideous war crimes if Trump refuses Ukraine aid—military, economic, diplomatic & more—including immediate “shock & awe” stiff sanctions to stop Chinese & others buying his oil products, as our Russia sanctions bill provides www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...
Proud to join North Haven’s Memorial Day parade, recognizing fallen heroes who have kept us free & strong.
I’ll press for legislation— the Afghan Adjustment Act— to safeguard Afghan allies’ status here & give them a path toward more permanent security. America cannot count on future local aid abroad in hostile settings if we break such promises.
Veterans are right to be angry about Trump deporting Afghans back to face Taliban torture & death. They’re allies who helped & protected our troops & diplomats against the Taliban. Trump is breaking the promise America made in return. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
In Wethersfield, a solemn wreath laying ceremony before the town’s parade. Strong spirit & good crowds, despite cloudy, cool skies.
Scorching sanctions on Russia are urgently necessary— now— before Putin’s anticipated summer offensive. He’s playing Trump, & America, stalling for time. My Russia Sanctions bill with Senator Graham has an overwhelming 82 Senate cosponsors. Let’s act. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
I’ll continue my inquiry through the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. I’ll continue to support the law firms that are standing up & speaking out against Trump’s brutish demagoguery.
Big law firms bending the knee to Trump is futile & foolish—a tragic betrayal of trust & integrity. He’s already talking about detestable causes he’ll champion with their pro bono service. Deservedly, they’re losing clients & colleagues. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
Hydrilla—an invasive, horrendously harmful plant—is plaguing the CT River & other waterways. It directly threatens both our state's wildlife & our boating, fishing, & recreational industries—hurting our environment & our economy. We need federal funding to combat its rapid spread.
