Safeguards are vital to stop the money-hungry sports betting industry from spawning addiction & corruption. Our SAFE Bet Act will save families from bankruptcy, divorce, suicide, domestic violence, financial ruin, & more.

New secret donors to the East Wing ballroom construction project have been revealed. The Admin’s claims of transparency are a joke. I’m demanding these donors explain why they wanted to hide their donation & what Trump may have agreed to in exchange for these funds.

While I welcome this court order, it’s only a temporary stop gap—a band aid on a deeper, gaping wound. 1/

CharacterAI’s supposed ban on teens & children is no cause for confidence or complacency. The time is over for “trust us” voluntary steps. New legal safeguards like our GUARD Act are imperative.

Big Tech has long prioritized profits over people—their malicious AI chatbots are the latest betrayal against our nation's kids. We need guardrails to hold AI companies accountable & protect kids from manipulative chatbots threatening their safety, well-being & even their lives.

Americans deserve to know if there is a quid pro quo with any of the 37 donors who have funded Trump’s gilded ballroom. I’ve written to all of them asking about the money they've given & if any deals were made in exchange for their contributions.

Today marks the 7th anniversary of the tragic, vile attacks at Tree of Life in Pittsburgh, taking the lives of 11 beloved community members. May we honor their memory with action by continuing to fight antisemitism & to seek a nation safer from all violence.

As Trump tears down the iconic East Wing to build his monstrous ballroom, I want to know all the facts about donors supposedly footing the bill. Many have merger reviews, litigation or other special interests pending where the Administration could help or look the other way.

Pardoning CZ rewards corruption. Money laundering & narcotics trafficking is condemnable, except if you're a partner in Trump family's corrupt crypto racket. It makes this Administration look like a RICO organized crime enterprise.

These sanctions are a step in the right direction but nowhere near enough to stop oil & gas revenue fueling Russia’s murderous war machine. 1/

Trump’s invoking the Insurrection Act— a real danger, no longer hypothetical or abstract. I demanded passage on the Senate floor of reforms to check his politically purposed domestic deployment of armed forces, potentially turning America into a military police state.

You can’t make this stuff up—a demand for $230 million (taxpayer dollars) by President Trump, to be approved by top DOJ officials, his former personal lawyers. Head spinning chutzpah. Eye watering conflicts of interest. More corrupt self enrichment.

Madness. Trump’s war on solar & wind energy projects— like Esmeralda 7, & Revolution Wind—is just crazy. It makes energy more costly, raising prices & cutting jobs. Reversing these nutty decisions is a clear bipartisan imperative.

Immense crowds, incredible energy, sun filled cloudless skies—I was inspired by No Kings rallies in Hartford, New London, Willimantic, Granby & Windsor. All around CT & America, we stood strong for democracy, fighting an authoritarian, corrupt tyrant.

Trump is playing into Putin’s hands—slow-walking the aid Ukraine needs to defend itself against Russia’s murderous assault. 1/

Health insurance will be unaffordable for millions of Americans if Republicans gut the ACA tax credits.  Democrats are fighting to protect this health care lifeline & reopen the government.

I’m demanding Noem halt her illegal video message, showing on TSA screens in airports nationwide, falsely blaming Democrats for the shutdown. It violates the Hatch Act, making travelers a captive audience for partisan propaganda. My letter is joined by equally outraged colleagues.

Republicans say they will deal with the health care crisis “later.” But for millions of Americans “later” is too late. People can’t get sick on Republicans’ timeline; we must act now to make sure people can access affordable health care.

Republicans are imperiling lifesaving care with their cuts to Medicaid & ACA tax credits. Thousands in CT will soon lack affordable coverage. Democrats are trying to save it—at the same time as the government reopens.

I am filled with joy & relief by release of the hostages, even as my heart breaks for families whose loved ones have perished. I fervently hope this momentous day, the still fragile cease fire & ongoing talks will lead to lasting peace, with humanitarian aid beginning right away.

Americans shopping for health care coverage are being hit with sticker shock. Premiums are doubling or even tripling. The cost of basic necessities are already high—people can’t take another hit.  Democrats are fighting to stop these hikes.

Donald Trump & Republicans in Congress are making it impossible for people to afford health care. For example, a CT couple in their mid-50s making $95,000 will pay $1,935 MORE per month for their insurance. Democrats are fighting to lower these health care costs.

Trump’s assault on Constitutional rights & norms is smashing sacrosanct safeguards. Now is the time for all—especially lawyers—to stand up & speak out. Silence is complicity. It’s testing time.

Donald Trump is perverting our justice system by indictments on demand—directing prosecutions based on vengeance & vanity. 1/

More than 260,000 veterans will lose insurance coverage if Republicans continue to block extending health care tax credits. In fact 43% of all vets buying coverage on ACA marketplaces will find insurance unaffordable. A reality check for Republicans claiming to support vets.

Unacceptable & preventable. People in CT will likely see their premiums double or triple—forcing them to pay hundreds & thousands of dollars more for health insurance.  Democrats are fighting to protect millions of Americans from these skyrocketing health care costs.

We need to do everything we can to keep health care costs down. Democrats are fighting to keep health care accessible for millions of Americans.

Republicans are working to deprive millions of Americans of their health care & drive up premium prices. I joined @jojofromjerz.bsky.social to talk about Democrats’ efforts to stop these hikes.

Republicans won’t reopen the government because they are fighting to raise your health care costs. Democrats are simply asking Congress to help stop health care premiums from increasing for 24 million Americans & to protect health coverage for more than 15 million Americans.

The Trump admin’s illegal, vindictive cancellation of CT clean energy grants will only raise energy costs, reduce electricity reliability & create more pollution. I’m writing to DOE Sec. Wright demanding answers about this reckless, revengeful action.

Check this out: A CT couple in their 50s with a college age child making $50,000 will see their monthly insurance premium increase over 200%. 2025: $73 2026: $250 Democrats are fighting to protect millions of Americans from these skyrocketing health care costs.

$35 ➡️ $106 if Congress doesn’t act NOW to keep health care accessible & affordable. Democrats are fighting to stop your monthly health care premiums from skyrocketing.

Vindictive, illegal Trump cuts in CT projects only raise energy costs, reduce jobs & restrict economic growth. We’ll fight this blatant bullying.

Listen to the Insurance Commissioners—in red states like North Dakota as well as blue—saying that health insurance subsidies must be extended NOW. Delaying the extension makes health insurance unaffordable for open market enrollees—3 out of 4 living in states Trump won. 1/

Republicans control the presidency & both chambers of Congress.  They decided to shut down the gov't instead of working with Democrats to make your health care more affordable. Democrats are standing strong & resolute in the fight to prevent people from paying sky-high costs.

Republicans are driving our country to a health care crisis & a government shutdown—Democrats are fighting to fund the government & protect Americans' access to affordable health care. I call on my Republican colleagues to join us & find a bipartisan solution.

Dismantling the watchdog of watchdogs undermines oversight—another sign of Trump Administration laissez faire attitude toward internal corruption & waste. (Firing all Inspectors General was exhibit A.) Scrutiny should be strengthened, not dismantled.

President Trump is barreling towards a government shutdown. Trump has inflicted destruction on the American health care system, & unless we find a bipartisan solution, Americans will continue to feel the pain of his chaos.

President Trump would rather shut down the government than protect Americans' health care. It's time for my Republican colleagues to stop bowing to Trump's demands & work with Democrats to find a bipartisan solution that puts Americans' needs first.

Proud to stand with doctors, vaccine experts & researchers to demand Sec. Kennedy stop the spread of vaccine misinformation & reverse devastating cuts to research funding. Vaccines are safe & effective. They can save lives.

I joined The Lead on CNN to discuss my encouraging meeting with President Zelenskyy & the critical importance of passing the Graham-Blumenthal sanctions bill.

Putin’s war in Ukraine is ushering in a new arms race. It has led directly to the rise of lethal, expendable drones, capable of carrying out devastating attacks. We must invest in & build our own capabilities as fast as possible to counter & defeat this developing threat.

Upbeat, encouraging meeting with President Zelenskyy after his historic U.N. speech & positive conversation yesterday with President Trump. Ukraine at a critical turning point urgently needs our support, both military & economic.

What are Bondi & DOJ hiding? There’s no excuse for keeping Homan’s file concealed. The investigation is supposedly closed—so the tape of his accepting a $50,000 bag of cash, interview records, & other evidence, all can & should be released.

Jimmy Kimmel’s return is no cause for complacency. Affiliates continue to bar him. Carr continues as a menace. This Administration is muzzling America. It’s unconstitutional & cruelly undemocratic.

Hegseth’s prior approval rule smacks of prior restraint—unconstitutional & unacceptable. What’s Hegseth hiding? His concealment is a disservice to brave, dedicated Americans who ably defend our freedoms—like the First Amendment—that he tramples.

Wishing a happy Rosh Hashanah to all who celebrate. A time for reflection & rejoicing, may this new year bring joy & renewal. Shana Tova!

Trump’s directive to AG Bondi—indict my political enemies—shows how low he’s sunk & how high the danger. Tyranny is here, not on the horizon, if such abjectly abusive prosecutions are permitted. Even long supine Republicans must grow a spine.

Jimmy Kimmel is off-the-air because of an unprecedented act of gov’t censorship. The FCC has now proven that its sole mission is to be the speech police for Trump, punishing his perceived opponents & rewarding his cronies. Chair Carr has shown his true self: free speech fraud.

Lights flashing, gate arms lowering & still Tesla vehicles in full self-driving mode failed to stop for oncoming trains. Human action averted a disaster, but Tesla’s failing software is another accident waiting to happen.
