Danbury Portuguese Day Parade filled with great music, beautiful skies, & magnificent people. Proud to march & honor Jose Matias, recipient of the 2026 Portuguese Day Award.
Jennifer Hubbard does magnificent work in her daughter Catherine’s memory.
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.
Amazing, beautiful Middletown Pride Parade—down Main Street packed with exuberant crowds showing magnificent spirit & colors. Lots of love & kindness.
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.
@warren.senate.gov & I are demanding answers about how DOGE & the Trump Admin weaponized the Social Security Administration to carry out its lawless immigration enforcement agenda.
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.
Corrupt & compromised by feckless Trump fealty, Blanche is a nonstarter as AG. He leads DOJ with blindered loyalty & contempt for law. There’s no way we should confirm an AG who will continue as Trump’s personal lawyer, not the people’s.

As Russia escalates its missile and drone attacks on Ukraine, two senior U.S. lawmakers visit Kyiv with a message: Ukraine can still win — but only if it gets the support it needs.
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
Ukrainians are fighting our fight—stopping an authoritarian, slaughtering aggressor who urgently threatens both America & Europe. 6/
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/
Ukraine has miraculously advanced drone technology, but needs air defense. America must step up. 4/
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/
Unimaginable agony & anxiety—Putin’s intensified bloodthirsty bombardment of Ukraine reflect desperation. He’s losing on the battlefield, his economy is declining, his casualties are mounting. His go-to tactic is terror. His calling card is death & destruction. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/w...
Also, a law barring his corrupt deal to avoid tax audits—worth millions to him & his family. 2
No trusting Trump’s supposed retreat from his $1.8 billion thug fund plan, even if he makes it explicit. I’ll fight for legislation to prohibit it completely, & any other reward for Trump allies, rioters & lawbreakers. 1/
