The holidays ask us to reflect on who we are as a community. In my letter to The Day, I write about dignity, homelessness, and choosing compassion. theday.com/news/824985/...

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

My in laws live in Pittsburgh and every time we drive out there I find myself dumbfounded that we as a country still haven't invested in high speed rail.

“People who care about everyday people — and are in it for the right reasons.” State Representative @nickmenapace.bsky.social has worked alongside Jillian in the Connecticut General Assembly and seen her leadership firsthand. #VoteForJillian #CT01 #CTPolitics #LeadershipThatDelivers

Oh THIS. So hard. It drives me absolutely bonkers that our own government has created first and second class tiers for airport security. It is just anti democratic. Plainly.

Today I spoke at a press conference about fairly paying aspiring educators. Connecticut faces a teacher shortage, and we can’t expect student teachers to work full time, pay tuition, and go unpaid. If we’re serious about solving this, we need to address it head-on. #CT #Education #Teachers

Thank you to everyone who came out to my Constituent Corner today. I’m grateful for the thoughtful conversations — and the falafel and chicken & lamb skewers from Taza Grill were excellent! #connecticut #flanders #eastlyme #eastlymect #niantic #ct #nianticct

Chag sameach! Wishing a wonderful 8 nights of love, laughter, and light to all who celebrate. Happy Hanukkah.

When Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

A first measles case has been confirmed in CT. Measles spreads quickly through the air and can be dangerous — especially for kids under five. Vaccines prevent disease and save lives. Public health matters. www.ctpublic.org/news/2025-12...

Victor is right. Promotion of the word "wokeness" allows right-wingers to pretend their racism and sexism is issues-oriented rather than hate-oriented.

Minnie and I did the Niantic Jingle Bell 5k this morning! It a great event organized by the Brian Dagel Foundation which offers suicide prevention and awareness education.

Connecticut is stepping up where Washington won’t. This week, the state committed $70M to keep Access Health CT premiums stable for thousands of residents — protecting families from steep increases caused by federal chaos.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment. They are openly saying this. Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

A lot of misinformation about the new housing bill

just going to reiterate this. if immigrants don't have due process, no one does. you can't tell citizens from immigrants without due process. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/if-immigra...

I’m proud to share my piece in the Connecticut Mirror on how we can begin rebuilding democracy in CT — starting with honest conversations and community engagement. Would love to hear your thoughts! ctmirror.org/2025/12/08/r...

Got to stop by the Connecticut Humane society earlier this week. This good girl is Lillith

@sarabronin.bsky.social finished the book last night!

There continues to be misinformation regarding the Special Session Housing bill. Her are summarized the key areas of myth vs facts here.

I joined 100+ state legislators from CT, ME, MA, NH, NY, RI & VT urging Congress to stop federal actions hurting our region’s farms & food systems. The Northeast stands united for farmers & local food! 🌾 #NortheastStrong #SupportLocalFarms @sixaction.bsky.social stateinnovation.org/wp-content/u...

“If you really respected our warriors you wouldn’t order them to commit murder.”

I wrote a letter to The Day reflecting on something I think we all feel right now — we’re at our best when we talk to our neighbors, not just online but in real conversations. theday.com/news/818374/...

Absolutely true

Every day AI tools get more advanced — and so do the ways they can be abused. States across the country are already dealing with deepfake robocalls, fake videos of candidates, and synthetic images designed to confuse voters.

Blatant corruption on full display.

AI is here to stay. The question is whether we shape it with values that reflect who we are. I believe we can. A future where deepfakes don’t mislead voters. A future where students use AI to learn and grow. A future where technology serves the public good. That’s the horizon I’m pushing toward.

With the holidays approaching, it's the perfect time to safely dispose of medications that have accumulated over the year. Connecticut has 354 year-round drop-off sites across the state— find one near you today: myoldmeds.com/connecti cut

Sharing The Day’s article on Rep. Kevin Ryan. As I said in the piece, “What I’ll remember most is his kindness and his dry sense of humor — the quiet, steady way he made people feel supported and welcome.” theday.com/news/815950/...

It is with great sadness that I share the passing of my colleague and friend, State Representative Kevin Ryan. Kevin was one of the first people I met when I began running for office in 2022, and from that moment on, he was a steady source of guidance and this past year, a first-time legislator.

The Trump administration has missed the deadline to appeal a federal judge’s decision ordering work to resume on the Revolution Wind project.

November is Native American Heritage Month. Algonquin-speaking peoples have lived throughout Connecticut for thousands of years — and they are still here today.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Today on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor those lost to violence and recommit to protecting trans lives. Trans rights are human rights. #ct

I wrote a guest commentary in The Day on Connecticut’s new housing bill, HB 8002. As our region grows, we need real solutions that keep communities strong and make housing more affordable for families, retirees, and young people. Read it here: 🔗 theday.com/news/812735/... #CTHousing #HB8002 #ct

Addressing Connecticut's Housing Crisis: From retirees looking to downsize, to young professionals and families searching for affordable rentals, Connecticut residents at every stage of life share a common goal: finding a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home.

Got to swing by the Montville Holiday Craft Fair today — I’m always blown away by how much creativity and community spirit we have right here in town. Happy to support our local makers! 🎁✨

Four Major Wins for Connecticut Families Yesterday, the Connecticut General Assembly came together in special session to deliver real results for working families — protecting access to food, housing, health care, and children’s behavioral health.

To the brave Americans who have helped preserve our freedom, the Connecticut House Democrats thank you for your service. Did you know the Legislative Office Building houses a permanent memorial to Connecticut’s veterans?

I’ll be at Niantic Public House this Friday, Nov. 14 from 3:30–5 PM for office hours! Stop by to share your thoughts, ask questions, or just say hi over a pint. 🍻 Hope to see you there! #EastLyme #Niantic #Connecticut #Community

There is no reason for people to be going hungry right now. But the GOP wants it
