🌳 Trees are more than just beautiful additions to our landscapes – they also play a critical role in combating climate change and improving air quality.

It's tax day, Connecticut, and so for April's #CompTime I went to @CTDRS to answer phones in the call center with @ExMayorMark and to see the great work Team DRS does to serve our taxpayers and process their returns (and most importantly refunds!) during the busy tax season.

What's better than one Connecticut university winning an NCAA championship this week? How about TWO Connecticut universities winning titles!

Congratulations to the Quinnipiac men's hockey team for winning the 1st national championship in program history!

Mifepristone is a safe and effective medication that has been on the market for over 20 years, and one judge’s opinion shouldn’t change that. This decision is a major blow to women’s rights — but it is not final — and it must be appealed.

CT is making sure kids in schools can breathe clean air. Clean air shouldn't be partisan, but follow the votes:

Half the funding comes from the ACA, where every Republican voted NO.

Half comes from the state, and 98% of Republicans voted NO.

It's not like Harlan Crow is some apolitical pal of Thomas.

He CONSTANTLY has cases before the court. He funds groups that argue for outcomes that benefit him.

One group, CCI, filed 8 briefs before the Court. Thomas sided with Crow in all 8 cases.

Never underestimate the power of a determined female leader.

We are failing our children. Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S.

Michelle and I mourn with the students and families of the Covenant School today.

As passport processing times continue to increase, I hope to streamline the process for you & your family. Apply for the first time or renew your passport.

I know this was not the result we were hoping for, but I want to congratulate @UConnWBB on a great season. Every time you stepped on that court you made our state proud! 💙

Princeton sociologist Matthew Desmond says if the top 1% of Americans paid the taxes they owed, it would raise $175 billion each year.

"That is just about enough to pull everyone out of poverty," the author says. https://t.co/YU9SfgcKdi

40 Million Americans insured
100 million with pre-existing conditions covered
Preventative care covered
No more lifetime limits on coverage
No more discriminatory premiums for women

13 years ago today, President Biden was right – the Affordable Care Act is a pretty big deal.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

The Affordable Care Act was signed into law 13 years ago today, lowering health care costs for millions and protecting Americans with preexisting conditions.

Since then, the Biden-Harris administration has built on the law's success, expanding access to affordable health care.

UConn remains unstoppable. @UConnMBB and @UConnWBB heading to the Sweet 16!

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

The former president is fanning the flames of outrage&inciting his base. As we head into next week, let’s be guided by facts not provocative “leaks” meant only to incite controversy. I call on my Republican colleagues to condemn any possible violence, not condone&encourage it.

[Connecticut Dems @CTDems]

Let’s go!

Moving the Presidential primaries up by three weeks would mean a greater voice for CT voters. We’re supporting an early April primary.
