The Constitution plainly forbids the President from commandeering state election officials to manipulate and micromanage how we vote. We sued last night to stop the order and to protect our democracy and our right to cast our ballots in free and fair elections.

Trump announced THE biggest tax increase in living memory. Markets are collapsing, wiping out trillions in Americans' savings. CT GOP Chair: "People need to understand “short-term pain for long-term gain.”" According to CT Republicans, you are the problem, not Trump. www.wfsb.com/2025/04/02/f...

The Trump Tax hits all automakers. Ford, GM, and others have global manufacturing and supply chains. And even if you don’t plan on getting a car, car INSURANCE rates will go up, too, because of the tariffs, “a six-letter word for tax.”

Donald Trump now says “couldn’t care less” if prices continue to rise. What happened to lowering the cost of living for the middle and working class? Instead, Republicans are cutting nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid, threatening healthcare for millions.

In Connecticut, we protect doctors, and this year, we're working to expand our shield laws. If some prosecutor in another state thinks about reaching into CT to charge our health care providers, they'll run right into the firewall Democrats are building. ctmirror.org/2025/03/25/c...

Every CT GOP mayor & first selectman has a problem: making up the dollars Trump and Linda McMahon are slashing OR telling those billionaires that their policy hurts kids. Erin Stewart wants to be like Trump if she runs for Governor. As Trump defunds CT schools, is Stewart on board? Are they all?

There’s too much surrender right now. I do not doubt the strength or the pressure people are under, but we can never give in to the destruction of our country and the deliberate acts of harm to people and institutions. Never quit. Never surrender. And never ever back down.

1 in 3 federal workers is a Veteran. Trump is firing them like they’re disposable—no regard for their service, their sacrifice, or their livelihoods. He’s not just gutting government—he’s gutting lives. MORE: time.com/7270148/trum...

EPA says it will gut regulations protecting us from airborne toxins, smog, dirty power plants and more. The Office of the Attorney General was involved in establishing many of these regulations, and we’re going to fight these reckless rollbacks at every single step.

In the last three days, Trump appears to have violated court orders in Boston and DC. The GOP won’t make a peep in Congress. The courts need to push back hard with contempt findings or we truly have a constitutional crisis.

Last week, House Democrats opposed giving Elon Musk and Trump a blank check funding bill that would allow them to gut programs and services families rely on. The Senate must pass a short-term spending bill so we can pass bipartisan bills that protect programs for our communities.
