If we can’t stop little children from being slaughtered, within what should be the safe haven of a school - our society is not failing, it’s failed. We better take some thoughtful action and make it fast. My heart aches, but that does nothing & it doesn’t stop the next massacre.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
The #RedSox firing of @AlexCora was a disgraceful, inaccurate scapegoating. Come on - if anybody, #Breslow was the guy to fire. What is ownership doing??? #RedSoxOwnership
Started serving as Economic Development Director for the Town of Wethersfield today. Excited to begin my next chapter in municipal government service with a great team and for CT’s most historic Town!
October 5th is World Teacher Day! I'm grateful for all of the dedicated educators across America.
While education is being targeted by the Trump Administration, we must remember it's the foundation of the American Dream. I will always fight beside our teachers for our kids.
We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

When Jesus gazes within us and loves us, what does He see despite our distractions and sins? Jesus sees our fragility, as well as our desire to be loved just as we are. #Catechesis https://t.co/cwmFumHqVH
