So proud to kick off today’s inspiring, record setting No Kings rally in DC.

Twice the size of the first No Kings DC rally.

Nationally, the early numbers suggest today was the BIGGEST DAY OF PEACEFUL PROTEST IN OUR NATION’S HISTORY.

LFG. We have a democracy to save.

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Pedal to the floor.

American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines are out of luck and won’t get paid. Foreign governments who send Trump airplanes get what they want.

Connecticut will protect the women, children, and infants Trump refuses to help.

Should we double and triple health care costs for 22 million non-billionaire Americans? Democrats are united and that’s a hard “NO”

Trump slashed funding for CT’s food banks. Gov Lamont and Dems in the legislature made sure Foodshare can keep feeding helping CT families, including the federal workers Trump won’t pay.

Connecticut is so well-run, we can pay down decades-old debt AND protect people from Trump's cruelest cuts.

Trump and Republicans are bad for business. When they make everything cost more, businesses and consumers pay more.

"I want those young families, those moms, to know that your WIC card will continue to be good, you know, for the foreseeable future. We’re making sure that the [federal] government does not take that away from you.” - Gov. Ned Lamont

CT will keep programs hurt by federal shutdown afloat — for now

Gov. Ned Lamont said it’s premature to commit any of last year’s $2.5 billion surplus to plug holes in federal funding over the long term.
