From homes to hospitals, these companies ‘hurting Connecticut families.’ Lawmakers want action
Lawmakers failed to pass legislation last session restricting private equity’s role in Connecticut hospitals.

Today, Alliance Executive Director Rich Fiesta appeared with House Ways and Means Dems in support of a resolution investigating DOGE's mishandling of sensitive Social Security data. This was a grave breach of public trust, and those responsible must be held accountable.

UNC Admin Can Now, Officially, Secretly Record Faculty
The new policy prohibits students from recording class without permission but explicitly allows administrators to surveil professors for any “lawful purpose.”
UNC System President Peter Hans recently acknowledged the “outright harassment” & “culture of digital surveillance” faced by university faculty & staff. How ironic that UNC is now rolling out a new policy explicitly permitting university officials to record classes without notifying instructors.🧐

Don't be fooled by different names—all these voter suppression bills have the same goal: block millions of eligible Americans from voting.
It's a coordinated attack on our democracy while they ignore real problems.
