Suozzi: "We could learn a lesson from Mamdani and from Trump, who both appealed to people based upon affordability and economic issues. We as Democrats need to lean in more to affordability."

Stay cool

Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to show their faces will arrest you because of the color of your skin or even because you spoke out against Trump. And Republicans in Congress just boosted their funding. Call it what it is. It's fascism.

Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July!

249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.

Taking action to protect Connecticut’s environment. 💚🌱

I’m proud to stand with colleagues and advocates who fought for a cleaner, fairer future. This is a win for our environment, our economy, and our kids.

A big win for public safety!

New CT highway rule effective July 1st:
⚠️Left lane = Passing only
⚠️Lingering = Ticket

It’s straightforward and saves lives by cutting road rage and making our highways run smoothly. Pass then move over - everyone gets there safer.

This is the darkest time in our nation since the Civil War. The right is radicalized at Berlin 1941 levels and many Americans are celebrating cruelty and lawlessness masquerading as power.

It is time for an awakening of morality, decency and public resistance to evil.

Chris Murphy: "This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation I have ever voted on in my entire time in Congress."

As a member of the Connecticut General Assembly’s Reproductive Rights Caucus, I stand with our co-chairs Rep. Matt Blumenthal and Rep. Jillian Gilchrest in their powerful statement on the supreme court’s decision in Medina v. Planned Parenthood.

Today, we join so many across the country in remembering and honoring Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, a gifted legislative leader, DLCC board member, and a dear friend.

We will never stop working to carry on her legacy.

If you’re struggling:
☎️ Veterans: Call/text 988 then press 1
☎️ Crisis support: 1-800-HOPE-135
☎️ General help: Dial 211

No one should face this alone. We see you, we support you, and we’ll keep fighting for the resources you deserve.

In Connecticut, we’re working to:
• Make mental health care more accessible
• Train more providers in trauma-informed care
• Stand with veterans and first responders who carry invisible wounds

Today on #PTSDAwarenessDay, we recognize the courage it takes to live with PTSD—and recommit to being there for every survivor.

Great to be in Washington d.c for the future summit, a conference for young state legislators. Its been great hearing from other State Legislators from around the country on issues affecting all our states and the solutions that we are all working on. #politics #ct #connecticut

It was a powerful reminder of the humanity, resilience, and creativity that exist even in the most difficult places and of the transformative power of the arts.

Through their performances, these women shared their stories, struggles, and how time continues to shape their lives.

I had the privilege of attending Time in 2, a moving production of song, dance, and skits performed by women at York Correctional Institution. The Justice Dance Performance Project, which has been doing this work at York for over twenty years, organized the event.

The governors decision to veto is very disappointing and will cost the state, the municipalities and our states resident
