"PROMISE OF A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE"

Shouldnโ€™t part of our strategy be to pressure House Rs to sign the Epstein discharge petition so the Rs can cut a deal? If one does a deal becomes possible. If not, they are even more screwed politically

We can and must do better. Does Elon Musk really deserve another trillion dollars let alone the billions he has?

Check out Dr. Mark Mitchell's important op-ed in the Hartford Courant about the Capitol Area System and why ground source heat pumps are the right choice that protect community health, while lowering long term energy costs and emissions.

Opinion: In CT, no one should lose healthcare, no one should starve The cruelty of HR1, Trumpโ€™s big ugly bill, and his government shutdown, are taking hold in Connecticut.

This is true anywhere but especially in CT.

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

While I appreciate Rosa's leadership I'm not sure it is about political will - I think it is more about intentional cruelty.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
