This Pride Month I made a wonderful stop at New Haven's Bark & Vine. This LGBTQ+ owned business is making an economic & cultural impact—showcasing the team's creative vision & entrepreneurial spirit.

Toxic exposures impact our veterans & their kids. By passing the Molly Loomis bill Congress can jumpstart groundbreaking research for them—providing military families with answers to the health challenges they may face as a result of battlefield toxins.
A win for workers at Ahlstrom's Windsor Locks facilities & a victory for working families. Joining the @steelworkers.bsky.social recognizes these employees' invaluable hard work & allows for better pay, safer working conditions, & improved benefits.
The rise in attacks on faith institutions & community centers is sickening. Proud to join local leaders to reaffirm & pledge my support for increasing the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to at least $500 million.
Wishing a very Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful dads & father figures in our lives! Thank you for your endless love & support.
Thousands at No Kings Rally in Hartford—saying Hands Off Medicaid, SNAP food assistance, voting rights, civil liberties & more. Vowing to fight back & preserve our democracy.
Proud & joyful commencement at Goodwin University—great careers ahead with this spectacular educational foundation.
Proud to be at No Kings Rally in Farmington, with hundreds fighting to preserve our democracy. Undeterred by drizzle & dark skies.
My heart breaks & stomach turns at Minnesota’s tragedy. Political violence is a vile, virulent threat to our democracy. My prayers go out to the loved ones of Rep. Hortman & her husband, Mark, & Sen. Hoffman & his wife, Yvette.
Homeland Security personnel are making us less secure.
I’m proud of @padilla.senate.gov for asking questions important to his constituents, & we should be asking questions about how this travesty happened.
I couldn’t believe my eyes. This manhandling removal & handcuffing of a US Senator at a public event is absolutely revolting & repugnant to American values. It’s a basic violation of civil rights.

#DACA recipients are our friends & neighbors. Their dream is American citizenship in the best sense—giving back to the country that is their home. We must provide permanent legislative protections for Dreamers. #HomeIsHere
I first introduced Insurrection Act reforms before the election, fearing that future misuse of the military might only inflame conflict & threaten key rights. Now that nightmare seems imminently, fearfully real. Congress must act.
As Trump moves to expand military deployments, possibly using protests in L.A. as a pretext for more broadly silencing free speech or even imposing martial law, I’ll be reintroducing reforms to the Insurrection Act that check potential abuse or overreach.
Rollicking, joyful crowds & marchers at Middletown’s PrideFest Parade this weekend. Tens of thousands came to celebrate, empower, & protect a wonderful loving community.
Thank you to all the groups & organizers who made possible Peace Week 2025 in Bridgeport, culminating in a City Hall flag raising. We remember the victims. Honor with action. Time to redouble our fight against gun violence.
Celebrating Juneteenth in Bridgeport at a wonderful parade in Seaside Park. Thank you to all the organizers!
As I said yesterday, this is a problem that cannot be solved only through the courts, & the Supreme Court’s decision today makes that even more clear. Until Congress acts, gun manufacturers will continue to fuel violence & chaos with impunity. 2
This decision is yet another reason why PLCAA must be repealed by Congress. PLCAA is the ultimate sweetheart deal—legal immunity afforded to basically no other industry for a product that kills tens of thousands of Americans every year. 1/
