AI companions pose a grave danger to our nation's children—machine-made “friends” luring young people into toxic fake relationships, exposing them to explicit content & encouraging self-destructive behavior. My GUARD Act enacts safeguards to protect children from such harms.
Ads aimed at kids selling firearms—including assault weapons, like the GOAT-15—are deceptive, destructive, & deadly. We need to pass the Responsible Firearms Marketing Act to stop gun manufacturers from targeting the vulnerabilities & insecurities of children.
This shortsighted decision by FDA will turbocharge nicotine addiction & rollback progress made in reducing youth tobacco use. We know flavored products draw in young people, there is no excuse for enacting contradictory measures—exacerbating disease & death in a new generation.
Trump’s delusional claim that Ukraine is “militarily defeated” spouts Putin’s propaganda. The Russian people see through it. So do Ukrainians. They’re standing strong & pushing back—& could actually prevail, with sufficient support from the U.S. & Europe.
Proud to celebrate CT's small business owners whose hard work & innovation create jobs, power our economy, & sustain our communities. Congratulations to this year’s Small Businesses Awards winners—your drive & dedication are an inspiration to us all.
There is no excuse to oppose the Major Richard Star Act—veterans support it, a majority of the Senate supports it, Sec. Hegseth supports it. I will move again for a vote on this critical legislation that removes the wounded veteran tax imposed on brave combat-injured veterans.
The Gold Star Memorial Bridge is a vital economic pillar & iconic symbol of America—now needing reconstruction to make it safer & speedier. I’m proud of work done by our delegation for nearly $1 billion in federal funds enabling it.
Students & teachers at Sacred Heart Univ. conveyed invaluable insights about gambling pitfalls & problems, including addiction. Their moving experiences bolster my fight for safeguards like my SAFE Bet & GRIT Acts.
Republicans should join us in saying enough is enough. No more repugnant destruction & construction. No more repellent donor corruption. No more revolting defiance of law, history & taste.
The estimated cost for the Lafayette Square project was $3.3M. The firm building Trump’s ballroom got the contract without bidding & now it will cost taxpayers $17.4M. I’m demanding answers to understand if Clark’s unilateral selection is a reward for building the ballroom.
ICE’s spreading tentacles & vicious tactics threaten CT—so I’m proud & grateful to stand with Gov Lamont & our state legislators as they enact safeguards. I’m fighting for the same reforms in federal law.
Hydrilla is an invasive, spreading peril—an ugly aqua species that suffocates plants & fish, threatens drinking water supplies, undercuts recreation & tourism on the CT River & other rivers & lakes. 1/
My Prediction Markets Security & Integrity Act would regulate this scheme for what it is—gambling—& put much needed rules to prevent insider trading, addiction & misleading or dangerous bets.
