Lamont won by 13% in 2022 during a light-Red national environment.

You know whats funny? If trans ppl were banned from sports this whole time. You still would have came in 5th place.

[Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont]

Connecticut remains committed to defending our values and protecting people’s rights. Transgender young people deserve to participate, compete, and belong. Here in CT, we love you, we want you here, and we’ll keep standing up for you.

[Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer]

Trans people are our family, neighbors, and friends, deserving of equal rights, dignity, and the freedom to be themselves. I stand with the LGBTQ+ community today and always. In Michigan, you matter and you belong.

For journalists covering the Alaska Senate race, a note on grammar in unique situations like this:

Please refer to them as “Dans Sullivan” — like you would for Attorneys General or courts-martial.

HAPPENING NOW: This new child learning center is launching at Norwalk’s Oak Grove affordable apartments

Projects like this could be sped up under the bipartisan federal housing bill, but questions remain about whether President Trump will block it

Three years ago, President Joe Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act, enshrining marriage equality into federal law.

The Supreme Court established the right to marriage equality—and Democrats codified it.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

11 years ago tonight, Obama illuminated the White House with the colors of the Pride flag after the Supreme Court made marriage equality the law of the land.
