Our convention last weekend was a huge success and I’m incredibly honored to have been elected President of @CollegeDemsCT. I’ll be joining our amazing chapter leadership and new State Board in implementing my initiatives for legislative advocacy, fundraising, and more!

We had an amazing turnout to our winter convention this year with 11 out of 12 of our chapters represented! We heard from inspiring elected officials and activists and had conversations about legislative advocacy and our role in passing progressive legislation this session!

Today we honor the memory of Heather Heyer, whose spirit we see in every person who stands up to reject hatred and bigotry. Make no mistake: this fight goes on. The battle for the soul of this nation rests with each of us, everyday.

Currently, the Trump administration is arguing that its family-separation policy:

- is a deterrent

- is biblically compliant

- is the Democrats' fault

- does not exist.

This Santa Fe High School press conference by three A-rated @NRA lawmakers is something:

“We must do everything possible to prevent this from happening again,” says Ted Cruz, US Senator who voted against universal background checks after Sandy Hook School shooting 5 years ago.

Don't tell me tomorrow isn't the appropriate time to debate gun violence. If you're a political leader doing nothing about this slaughter, you're an accomplice.

The FCC just voted to repeal #NetNeutrality. We must do everything we can to stop this egregious decision from taking effect.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Thousands of people in Connecticut have reached out about #NetNeutrality. I'm going to do all that I can to protect the free and open internet.

Thinking of everyone in #LasVegas, and praying Congress will have the courage to do more than stand in silence to commemorate them.
