Connecticut Dems

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

Trump wants Democratic veterans executed. Will the CT Republicans who want to governor keep bowing down to Trump or stand up and condemn his vile, un-American call to violence?

Lamont Signs Children's Health Bill That Also Supports Firefighter Cancer Fund, Limits ICE Actions In Courthouses | CT News Junkie The bill also controversially establishes limits on taking people into custody who are on courthouse grounds for civil offenses, prohibits law enforcement personnel from carrying out their duties wear...

Governor Lamont and Democrats:
✅ Support Children's Behavioral Health
✅ Are limiting ICE actions in courthouses and unmasks them
✅ Fund Cancer Treatment for Firefighters

Ryan Fazio, who wants to be a MAGA governor, is against it.

Republicans attacking Republicans right out of the gate? 👀🍿🍿🍿

We’ll stay focused on making CT stronger and more affordable while Republicans are infighting and slinging mud.

Up To 1,000 More Early Child Education And Childcare Spots Available To CT Families, Lamont Says | CT News Junkie Hundreds more Connecticut families will have access to free or reduced price early childhood education and childcare in January, state officials said Thursday, under the Early Start CT program.

“We are making the largest expansion to early childhood education services Connecticut has ever seen" - Governor Ned Lamont

Trump and CT Republicans like Ryan Fazio are a-ok with CT children going hungry, CT homes going cold, & Access Health CT premiums doubling or tripling this month

Fazio voted against funding CT’s check on Trump’s abuse of power. CT Dems making sure people here are safe from Trump’s cruel attacks

The 75th Annual John Bailey Dinner was a huge success, thanks to each and every one of you. We welcomed Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky, whose inspiring speech capped off a night of celebration and commitment to the work ahead. Thank you, Connecticut!

But HIS emails…

Today would be a good day for Fazio and Stewart to finally say Trump is terrible.

Instead, they say:

“I have great respect for [Trump’s] service and patriotism” - Ryan Fazio

“I’m that same type of leader” - Erin Stewart

Voters are being disenfranchised in South Windsor. Unelected South Windsor officials cannot unilaterally reverse the clear and obvious results of an election. South Windsor voters elected SIX Democrats to the Council. Six must be sworn in.

"My position has always been: no affordable healthcare, no deal. I am unwilling to accept a vague promise for a vote at an indefinite time on an indeterminate bill. Millions of Americans and tens of thousands in Connecticut are forced to make impossible choices right now about what health insurance they can afford. The urgency of this moment demands action now to reduce health insurance costs."

Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal on his no vote:

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake.

I voted NO.

More than a million veterans nationwide use SNAP to buy groceries. Trump has the money to feed them, but he’s asking the SUPREME COURT to help him force Americans to go hungry. It’s cruel. It’s chaotic. It’s the act of a wannabe King.

Check mydss.ct.gov if you need to check an EBT card balance.

CT funded November SNAP while Trump asks the Supreme Court to overrule the law and let him make millions go hungry.

While Trump fights court orders and common decency to force people to go hungry, Gov. Lamont is making sure hundreds of thousands of people in CT do their grocery shopping and feed their families.

Trump makes everything worse.

This was a good thing, years in the making, to save you money. It works well and cost you $0 to use.

Now it’s gone, because Trump wants to be sure a bunch of corporations can keep fleecing you.

Let’s celebrate! Join CT Democrats as we celebrate our landslide wins and look to the midterms ahead.
