We’re demanding the immediate release of Rihan, a Cheshire High School student detained by ICE. Rihan and his family entered the US legally on humanitarian parole. His father helped US troops by working as an interpreter in Afghanistan. They were doing everything by the book to build a life here.

I stood alongside Senator Blumenthal today to urge the fda to take comprehensive action to protect people from unsafe compound weight loss drugs. There are no generic GLP-1 injections. Anyone advertising one is not telling the truth and are putting people at risk.

Scam alert! We're seeing text messages falsely claiming to be from the Connecticut Superior Court about a citation notice. This is a scam. Do not click on any links, respond, or provide any personal or payment information. The Superior Court will never demand payment by text.

This is a bombshell that blows open the entire Aquarion decision. PURA completely missed half a billion dollars in rate increases. Their entire decision rested on bad math based on incomplete information. There's no question that PURA must immediately reconsider its decision and reject the sale.

Thank you to the UConn men’s and women’s basketball team for a fantastic season! Both teams made it to the final four and the men made it to the national championship game. Incredible season for both.

Scammers are using sophisticated tools like deepfakes and targeted ads to exploit trust and steal people’s life savings. If an investment opportunity is coming to you through social media, stop and take a closer look. Stay vigilant, do your research, and report suspected scams immediately.

Easter Tong Tasting. Liz's first carrot cake in the shape of an Easter bunny. Delicious, though I thought it needed some whiskers.  Quiche, ham, deviled eggs, all the greatest hits.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate. Wishing you a day spent with loved ones.

UConn is heading to the championship! Congratulations, Huskies!

The Constitution plainly forbids the President from commandeering elections to manipulate and micromanage how we vote. This executive order is an illegal attempt to disenfranchise millions of voters and fundamentally alter how Americans vote. We are suing to protect our democracy.

We stopped an unlawful federal policy that would have cut critical funding for state energy programs and driven up costs. This unlawful, short-sighted policy was concocted to keep us reliant on fossil fuels. We sued, we won, and we're going to keep fighting to protect funding and families.

Illicit xylazine is costing lives in Connecticut and across the US. It's being mixed with opioids, driving deadly overdoses, and making this crisis even harder to fight. Congress must act now to make xylazine a controlled substance and give law enforcement the tools to save lives.

Wishing all who celebrate a joyful and peaceful holiday.

The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments today on President Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship. We were proud to lead the fight against this unlawful order, and grateful for the injunctions we obtained that prevented this from ever taking effect. We are optimistic the Court will agree.

Skyrocketing gas prices right now are the direct result of Donald Trump’s incompetently-managed war of choice in Iran. The DEEP has notified me of an abnormal market disruption, which triggers additional consumer protections. Overcharging consumers during this abnormal market disruption is illegal.

The Trump administration rolled back updated federal limits on mercury and other toxic air pollutants from coal and oil power plants, reverting to outdated standards. That means more dangerous emissions in our air and water. We're suing today to protect Connecticut families from lifelong harm.

The UConn men’s AND women’s teams are heading to the Final Four! I may have hurt my foot jumping up and down.

Hartford ➡️ Stamford ➡️ Greenwich ➡️New Haven. Connecticut is not afraid and Connecticut is not backing down. #NoKings

We've lost a trailblazer, a mentor, and a friend. Dr. Henry C. Lee changed the field of forensic science, but just as importantly, he inspired and guided so many here in Connecticut, including myself. His legacy will live on.

I released formal guidance on immigration enforcement in CT for state agencies, law enforcement, and organizations statewide. It provides clear, practical direction on how to handle interactions with federal immigration authorities. You can read the full memo here: portal.ct.gov/ag/press-rel...

Speaking with reporters about what’s at stake for CT residents following PURA's outrageous decision to approve the sale of Eversource-owned Aquarion Company. This is a $6 billion gift to Eversource, to be paid by CT families and towns over the next 40 years.

We're suing to stop the Trump admin from holding critical USDA funding hostage. Trump's message to CT is: fall in line with extreme MAGA ideology, or your families go hungry. These conditions are unlawful we're suing to ensure CT gets every penny of USDA funding that our taxpayers paid for.

Starting March 25, Kratom will be illegal in the State of Connecticut. Kratom, along with 7-OH, bromazolam, flubromazolam, nitazenes, tianeptine (“gas station heroin”) and phenibut will be classified as a Schedule 1 controlled substances, meaning they cannot be bought, sold, or possessed.

No one is above the law. SB397 and HB5448 make that clear. Proud to stand with state legislative leaders and Senator Richard Blumenthal as we fight to safeguard our communities and to respect, honor, and protect Connecticut's immigrants and immigrant families.

Tong Tasting with Scouts Troop 15 of Stamford at Deer Lake. Loved the tacos prepared by them. I got involved in saving Deer Lake when it was at risk of being sold to private developers and we saved it for future generations of Scouts, the Pathfinders camp program, and other families/ organizations.

We secured a federal court order protecting access to gender-affirming care. Trump and RFK Jr. tried to deny care and force a radical political agenda on doctors and families by weaponizing Medicare and Medicaid funding. This was cruel and illegal, and we just beat them in court.

Eid Mubarak to those celebrating in Connecticut and across the country. Wishing you a peaceful and joyous holiday.

I'm co-leading a coalition of AGs in suing to stop the EPA's unlawful rollback of its Endangerment Finding, the legal and scientific foundation for limiting greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. The EPA has ignored the law and science in its rush to fulfill the wishes of the fossil fuel industry.

We're suing to block a $6.2 billion Nexstar/TEGNA merger that would create a media giant reaching 80% of US TV households. This would give Nexstar, the largest local TV broadcasting company in the US, even more power, while threatening to reduce competition, drive up costs, and weaken local news.

I’ve joined a coalition of AGs to push back against a new EPA policy that would slow enforcement, create barriers to accountability, and put communities at risk. Real federal enforcement is essential, and I join with states across the country urging the EPA to do its job.

Trump waged an unlawful economic war of choice on American families. We sued and won. Now he needs to pay us back. But the Trump Admin is concocting the most complicated and burdensome process to ensure no one gets the refunds. We’re asking Congress to step up and make sure this money is returned.

Yesterday, I argued before the PURA to reject the sale of Aquarion. The board already rejected this deal in Nov. Nothing has changed. Yet earlier this month, PURA reversed course and preliminary approved it. 720k+ people across 62+ cities are now at risk of higher water bills and weaker oversight.

We’ve filed a lawsuit challenging the unlawful actions by HUD. The Trump Admin is threatening to defund CT’s and other states unless we allow landlords to discriminate based on sexual orientation, gender, language, source of income, and other practices clearly prohibited under state law.

We’ve launched an investigation into SunStrong and secured a $100k settlement with Spruce Power. This is a part of our ongoing work to ensure honest and fair service for solar customers, and we will not hesitate to use the full weight of our law enforcement authority to protect homeowners.

Stopped by Trinity Bar & Restaurant to pour a few drinks and then joined the crowds for the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in New Haven. Always great to see the community come together to celebrate. Sláinte! ☘️

Trump is hellbent on destroying our economy and jacking up costs for American families. These new tariffs are just as irrational, just as lawless, and just as damaging as the first round. We are asking the court to step in immediately to stop the harm before it hits our wallets.

In just one month, PURA has handed three major wins to utility executives while Connecticut families struggle with rising costs. Connecticut ratepayers deserve better.

This is now the third consecutive decision this month alone where PURA has inexplicably reversed itself and caved to utility demands. Connecticut families cannot afford another multi-million-dollar utility rate hike. I'm going to keep fighting at every single step of these proceedings.

We’re suing the Trump Admin for its rushed demand that colleges turn over student data that could invade privacy and trigger baseless investigations. This is more of Trump and Linda McMahon's scorched earth crusade to give kids with backgrounds they like an advantage in elite college admissions.

Congratulations to Sean Kehoe, Rosemarie Weber, Phil Miller, Pat Ring, and Nisa Khan of the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General on their nominations to the state Superior Court. All of the nominees are exceptional public servants who will be strong additions to the bench.

In 2024, a group of state AGs joined the DOJ to sue Live Nation for monopolizing the market for ticketing and using that power to reinforce and protect that monopoly. The recent settlement doesn’t do enough. We’re willing and able to stand with other states to continue litigating without the fed gov

Again, what the hell. PURA caved. We need to understand exactly what happened here. Earlier this week, I stood with a bipartisan group of leaders urging PURA to reject this deal. We said this would be an economic disaster for CT families. Your bills are going to go up to pay for this boondoggle.

The Supreme Court already made it clear Trump didn't have the authority to impose the first round of tariffs. Now, the administration is trying again under a different statute that doesn't apply. We're suing him again.

Thanks to Squawk Box and Becky Quick, Andrew Ross Sorkin and Joe Kernan for having me on this morning to discuss our lawsuit against President Trump to stop him from punishing us again with unlawful and unconstitutional tariffs

We beat Trump on tariffs in the Court of International Trade, the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court. Now, we're back in court defending families and businesses from another round of lawless Trump taxes. He needs to stop this trade war. We can't afford to keep bankrolling stupidity.

Another lawsuit. Another win. A federal court has dismissed a challenge to Connecticut's common sense gun safety laws, reaffirming they are lawful, necessary, and lite saving.

An important conversation in Naugatuck about the growing dangers of youth vaping and illicit cannabis sales. These unregulated products are often marketed to kids and sold outside Connecticut's legal system. We need stronger enforcement and smarter policies to keep our communities safe.

Today, I stood alongside bipartisan leaders from towns across Connecticut to send a clear message: PURA needs to stand by its original decision and oppose the proposed sale of Aquarion. Families in our state cannot afford another unjustified and unaffordable rate increase.

Connecticut families cannot afford higher bills. PURA's decision puts corporate profits ahead of ratepayers. We'll keep fighting in every single proceeding before PURA to ensure Connecticut families do not pay a penny more than absolutely necessary.

A federal court has dismissed a challenge to CT’s gun safety laws, including our open carry ban and limit on handgun purchases. This ruling confirms what we've long said, these commonsense protections are lawful, necessary, and lifesaving.We will continue to defend our laws against baseless attacks.
