(3/3) In a statement, #PurduePharma, which is based in #Stamford, Conn., rejected suggestions of wrongdoing by the company or members of the Sackler family, describing the court filing as “littered with biases and inaccurate characterizations.” https://t.co/n4btS2aRN5 @nytimes

(2/3) “We have to hammer on abusers in every way possible,” Mr. Sackler wrote in an email in 2001, when he was president of the company, #PurduePharma. “They are the culprits and the problem. They are reckless criminals.” https://t.co/n4btS2aRN5 @nytimes #opioid #oxycontin

(1/3) Members of the Sackler family, which owns the company that makes #OxyContin, directed years of efforts to mislead doctors & patients about the dangers of the #opioid painkiller, a court filing citing previously undisclosed documents contends. https://t.co/n4btS2aRN5

“That no-contest, or nolo contendere, plea is like a guilty plea and results in a conviction. It means the defendants don’t admit guilt, but accept a guilty verdict.”

[Josh Kovner @jkovner_courant]

First two Whiting patient-abuse defendants plead no contest to felony cruelty charges; eight other criminal cases still pending; twin civil lawsuits, one state, one fed, allege torture of patient William Shehadi; it's a name Ned Lamont will come to know https://t.co/ak0uycPuYO

Jahana Hayes declares victory in #CT05.

[ryan @ryancaronking]

Jahana Hayes was elected last night to be the first black woman to serve in Congress for Connecticut.

She rose from poverty and teen motherhood to become an educator in Waterbury, a National Teacher of the Year, and now, a representative in Congress.

An update on my campaign:
A few moments ago, I called Ned Lamont to concede the race for governor and congratulate him on a hard-fought victory. I wish both Ned and the state of Connecticut success over these next four years.
