Want something to inspire you? Check out Berlin Upbeat— a student and volunteer run organization focused on community involvement and mentorship. Tonight I stopped by their picnic at the fairgrounds. It was full of great energy and great people. #congress #connecticut #ct #ct01

Pete Buttigieg is one of the most effective leaders and communicators we’ve got. Proud & grateful to have his support. He sees what a lot of us see: the Democratic Party has got to bring some new energy to this fight. #congress #connecticut #ct #ct01

As a leader, a policymaker, and a communicator, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social is one of the most effective Democrats in the country, & I’m proud to have his support in this race. Wherever he serves, he gets stuff done, he builds coalitions, & he inspires people to come together to solve hard problems.

While he screws up the US economy, Trump is pledging US economic might to support a corrupt, Putin-loving autocrat, Viktor Orban. Everything Orban does is pro-Russia and against our interests. But when Trump sees Orban, he sees himself — and there’s nothing Trump loves more seeing himself.

This is insane. He cannot be President of the United States. Impeach, 25th, the tools are there - but he has to be removed.

Just launched our first ad! Trump is out of control, costs are out of control, and we need a Democratic Party that’s bringing some new energy to this fight. We can’t fix things by doing the same thing.

Before we celebrate too much, Pam Bondi is not being fired because she didn't release the Epstein files. She's not being fired because she dropped thousands of investigations into terrorism, drug trafficking, fraud. She's being fired because she didn't do enough to target Trump's political enemies.

ICE agents arent even trained to be ICE agents. Now they’re replacing TSA in airports. Trump treats them like his personal all-purpose paramilitary, and all they’ve done is add more chaos and intimidation to the existing chaos at airports. Fund TSA. Abolish ICE.

The Greater Hartford St. Patrick’s Day Parade is always one of the best days of the year. Thanks to everyone who works to make it happen. Awesome energy & a sea of green in downtown today!

Firing Kristi Noem is not enough.

Kristi Noem has disgraced her office, repeatedly lying to the American people and leading a lawless agency that has disregarded our Constitution, violated basic rights, surveilled American citizens, and executed peaceful protestors. But swapping out the face of DHS doesn't...

Last fall, Democratic teams flipped so many towns from red to blue. One of the most impressive wins was East Granby, where Jason Hayes and Amanda Thompson led the Democratic ticket to a huge sweep. Today, Jason and Amanda endorsed my campaign, and I’m so grateful for their support.

Donald Trump wants to nationalize our elections. Don't let anyone tell you this is a joke. He knows they're heading for an electoral wipeout, and he’ll do anything to stay in power. We need to take this very, very seriously.

I went on NewsMax today to talk about ICE’s trampling on our rights and executing American citizens. And to say directly to the most faithful of the MAGA faithful: believe your own eyes, not their lies. I’m well aware that NewsMax exists to amplify some of the worst stuff in our politics...

I made sure Newsmax knew how we got here. Donald Trump and Kristi Noem unleashed an untrained, unaccountable, reckless paramilitary that has executed American citizens on the streets of Minneapolis.

VoteVets has helped elect some of Congress’s strongest and most effective fighters. I’m proud to have VoteVets’ support...

Story about the need for generational change in the First Congressional district: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/u... Proud of @lukebronin.bsky.social (no relation... anymore!) for challenging the status quo & stepping up to represent his community.

Big news: I am honored to earn the endorsement of four DTC chairs in our district. Martha, Tejal, Adam, and Julie have devoted themselves to the vital work of local democracy in Wethersfield, Rocky Hill, Windsor, and Berlin. Read why they think it's time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

The Trump administration is telling on itself… this time threatening Sen. Mark Kelly with court martial for reminding members of the military not to break the law. This will fall apart just like the bogus indictments against Comey & Letitia James did today. But that doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous.

The newest nonsensical part of the Trump agenda - ending programs where you can renew your passport at your library. This is just stupid. Renewing your passport at the library has been easy and helps raise money for our local libraries.

Trump's finally fighting inflation... in Argentina... with $40 billion dollars of US money to shore up the Argentine Peso. This, while his tariffs send your groceries skyrocketing and his vendetta against the ACA will send health care premiums through the roof.

A senior DOJ official just said that the Trump Admin pressured him to lie about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's affiliation with MS-13 so they could disappear him to a prison in El Salvador. That's what dictators (kings) do, and if you think it would stop here, you haven't read enough history.

Hartford, CT - 12,000 strong. No Kings! 🇺🇸 Let's see your signs and photos from today!

The @nytimes just reported that Donald Trump stopped $28 billion in energy and transportation money from going to blue cities, districts, and states. He's using this shutdown to punish and retaliate against Americans who voted against him. This is the opposite of how the Democrats have governed.

Kristi Noem is using TSA lines in our public airports to gaslight Americans into blaming Democrats for the shutdown. This, coming from the party that fired TSA and FAA employees and is threatening to fire even more federal workers during the shutdown.

You're not supposed to ask people to watch your opponent's videos, but I want you to watch the entirety of John Larson's video about the shutdown. This is a moment that calls for clear, focused message: Donald Trump is causing this shutdown because he's ok with millions of Americans

When we said Donald Trump would militarize American cities, we got called fearmongers. Today, Donald Trump brought together our generals and admirals and talked about sending the US Military into our cities to fight a "war,” attack the "enemy from within,” and use our cities as “training grounds”.

Took some time to call & thank some of the voters who’ve given $5, $10 or $25 to support this campaign right at the start. I'm not taking money from corporate PACs, and we’re competing with an incumbent who’s going to have lots of money coming in— so every single dollar makes a huge difference.

This is a time for strength and clarity, not for holding policy roundtables and asking Donald Trump to please negotiate with us. If he wants his budget passed, then it should: 1. Stop his own corruption 2. Lower costs for Americans 3. Prevent the healthcare nightmare his own bill is about to cause

Happy National Voter Registration Day! From Mayors to School Boards, there's a lot at stake in every town in our district this year. Make sure you and your family are registered to vote by October 17th, so you're ready to elect Democrats up and down the ballot on November 4th.

Went on @meidastouch.com last month, but this clip stays relevant. As a veteran and a former mayor, Trump deploying the national guard to yet another city is illegal, absurd, and anti-American. He's using our military as a prop and a chance to flex his authoritarian urges.

It's pretty simple: when I say we need to be everywhere, I mean it. This isn't a time to be cautious about where we take our message. Instagram, podcasts, livestreams, conservative shows, liberal shows, community centers, VFW halls... everywhere, everyday, every way we can.

If you haven’t paid attention to yesterday’s Supreme Court decision allowing masked agents to stop people on the basis or how they look or sound… pay attention. Because this is how we all lose our rights.

Went on Face the Facts on @nbcconnecticut.com and talked about how we can fix Congress so it delivers for working people, not billionaires and mega corporations. That's why I won't take a single dollar from Corporate PACs.

One reason so many Americans have lost faith in our economy - it's harder and harder to manage housing costs, whether you rent, own, or want to own. 70% of Americans are worried about housing. Lots we can do at every level, but here are some ideas we should be talking about at the federal level.

Under Pete Buttigieg, the Department of Transportation required airlines to compensate travelers when the airlines mess up/cancel flights. Trump’s DOT (led by former airline lobbyist): …nah, we’d rather let airlines mess up and leave passengers to deal with the cost.

From her time in the legislature advocating for the creation of the Office of Early Childhood to leading that office for the past 7 years, Beth Bye knows the immense impact of investing in early learning and providing resources for young families to succeed. ctmirror.org/2025/09/04/b...

Didn’t need a poll to tell us Americans don’t believe our economy is working for them — and have lost faith in the basic deal that if you’re willing to work hard, you can get ahead. But @wsj.com just gave us more proof. Things feel broken because they are, and we need to get serious about fixing it.

The Republican back to school plan: Make Measles Great Again

Launched this campaign a month ago. & this first month shows what this campaign will look like — going everywhere to get the message out, listening & talking with so many of you, & building the resources we need to win, without corporate PAC $. Thank you to everyone who helped us start out strong!

This is a new level of insanity. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Two things here: 1) Democrats passed the bill that made these improvements happen. Not Trump.

My heart breaks for the parents and families whose worlds shattered today & for Minneapolis. As a parent, this is what you fear most. As a Mayor, this is what you fear most. States like CT and Minnesota can have common sense laws, but we need action in Congress on national common sense gun laws NOW.

One of the things I'm most proud of is helping push for CT to make ending veterans' homelessness a priority. We made huge progress. This week, the New York Times reported that Trump is abandoning the types of programs that made that possible. Here's why that matters. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/h...

The Trump Administration put the life of a Connecticut State Representative in danger because he posted a message to his community saying that ICE was operating in his district and telling people to stay vigilant and be safe.

The Democratic Party better be willing to look ourselves in the mirror and acknowledge that we need to make some big changes. Went on @wfsb.com to talk about what we've got to do to win back trust.

Greater Hartford is home to one of the largest West Indian communities in the country, and the West Indian Independence Parade & Celebration is one of the best days of the year -- every island, every culture represented, with amazing food, music & dance. Such a great day yesterday.

What’s happening in Texas is the definition of rigging the system. It’s a direct attack on our democracy.
