Trump is destroying our alliances and trampling the Constitution with complete support of today’s Republican Party. With their help, he’s making sure his 19th-century economic policy is making everything cost more for non-billionaire Americans.

If, like Erin Stewart, you want to be the “same type of leader” as Trump; if, like Ryan Fazio, you voted for Trump 3 times and admire him; if you covet Trump’s endorsement for Governor like Betsy McCaughey, STAND UP FOR TRUMP’S “VALUES” and say this is what you want to see in Connecticut.

Lamont: Everyone Should Stand Against ‘Horror And Inhumanity’ Of ICE Killing In Minnesota
“Our police are proud. They wear body cams. They don’t hide their face behind a mask,” Lamont said. “The ICE agents are not proud of what they do. They do not want body cams. They cover their face and it creates an incredibly hostile and dangerous environment.”

Trump’s actions are an affront to the Constitution. He’s dragging us into a war the American people don’t want and Congress never declared. If any Republican wants a seat in CT’s delegation, they should speak out today and wholeheartedly embrace or condemn Trump’s illegal war.

The Trump administration is once again trying to illegally shut down Revolution Wind. They already lost in court and a federal judge allowed the project to move forward. This new order ignores the court and the law, and we’re fighting back.

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.
When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

3️⃣Give huge payoffs to billionaires
4️⃣Weaken America globally, and/or
5️⃣Make himself or his family richer

All 214 Democrats and four Republicans have come together to sign a discharge petition to force a vote to extend the ACA subsidies. This would keep 22 million Americans’ health care premiums from skyrocketing next year.
