Families are falling behind on rent, utilities, and child care.

This is a cost-of-living crisis. We need policies that support our families.

Americans are already stretched thin. The Trump Administration’s energy rollbacks will make it even harder for hardworking families to make ends meet.

Higher fuel costs mean more strain on household budgets, and working people will feel it first.

It wasn’t enough for President Trump to shut down the U.S. Institute for Peace and fire its experienced staff. Now, he’s naming it after himself—the building is as empty as his promises.

Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill makes reckless & lawless cuts to the health care that people rely on.

The preliminary injunction secured by AG William Tong makes it clear that the government must continue to fund @ppsne.bsky.social & other health centers.

Food is a basic human right—not a political weapon.

Trump’s refusal to distribute SNAP administrative funding to Democratic-led states will put families in jeopardy.

President Trump should be dealing with the affordability crisis instead of making it worse for millions of Americans.

Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum was a treasure in the 3rd District – containing the largest collection of art & artifacts from The Great Famine. It must remain accessible to our community.

I’ll continue to work on a solution to reopen the museum at its original Hamden location.

This administration’s economic approach is leaving working families behind.

We need to change course now. Workers need real investments.

90% of civilian infrastructure in Gaza has been destroyed, leaving families at risk of exposure and hypothermia during winter storms.

300,000+ new weather-resistant tents must be allowed in immediately, and rebuilding efforts must be accelerated. #LetTheTentsIn

This is a win for Pratt & Whitney and the 23,000 workers across our state that work on the F135 engine.
 
This funding will protect thousands of local jobs and ensure F-35 mission readiness for our military and allies across the globe.

President Trump promised to bring down prices "starting on day one", instead he's done the opposite.

Prices are up for groceries, housing, childcare, education, and healthcare. Making the cost of living rise.

He's done nothing while you feel the effect in your daily life.

Whoa whoa.

The Washington Post’s reporting on Hegseth’s order to kill all survivors on a boat in the Caribbean is of grave concern. If accurate, this is nothing less than a war crime.

I’m calling for immediate bipartisan briefings for members & an immediate end to this illegal campaign.

70 years ago, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. This act of defiance would spark one of the most influential social justice movements in American history.

Today, we honor Rosa Parks and her courageous legacy.

Minnesotans are already struggling with high prices on everything from gas to groceries. The middle class can’t afford to foot the bill for the President’s reckless trade policies.

I'm introducing a bill with @delauro.house.gov and @aoc.bsky.social that protects consumers and prevents companies from using tariffs as an excuse to price gouge Americans.

President Trump’s cuts to HIV funding puts over 44 million people globally, including 1.2M+ Americans, at risk & takes health care away from millions more. We have the tools to end HIV– we can't roll back our progress.

This World AIDS Day, let's fight to #SaveHIVFunding

I joined Teamsters Local 191 on the picket line over the weekend to show my support for their fight to recognize the union they voted for in July for fair wages, benefits, safety & the respect they deserve.

Connecticut Distributors must bargain in good faith with these workers.

I visited Elm City Games, a local small business, to announce my new anti-price gouging legislation, the No GOUGE Act. This bill prevents big companies from using Trump's trade wars to overcharge consumers & other businesses.

Greedy corporations must be held accountable.

Trump’s trade war is a gift to big corporations, who use tariffs as an excuse to jack up prices.

That’s why your holiday shopping list could be up to $132 more this year, and that’s why I am introducing the No GOUGE Act, to define and investigate tariff-driven price gouging.

I’m closely monitoring the shooting in Washington, D.C. that wounded two National Guardsmen and injured several others. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the entire Guard community.

Gun violence has no place in our streets. Those responsible must be brought to justice swiftly.

I was proud to lead over 200 of my colleagues in a letter to HUD Secretary Turner to fight for the 170,000 people across the country who are in danger of losing their homes this winter.

I’ll continue to fight against any attempt to gut the resources Americans rely on.

By making drastic changes to HUD’s anti-homelessness program, the Trump Admin will push people back onto the streets overnight.

Thanks to AG William Tong for standing up & suing to stop these illegal cuts.

Peace in Ukraine must come on Ukraine’s terms, not Russia’s. Trump’s arbitrary Thanksgiving deadline and draft peace plan full of Russian priorities has this backwards.

A peace deal that sacrifices Ukraine’s freedom is no peace at all—just an invitation for Putin to try again.

Today, the EPA has approved pesticides containing “forever chemicals” for use in our food, despite health and environmental concerns.

Relaxing food safety rules will only benefit corporations and put the health of Americans and the environment at risk. Is American Healthy yet???
