You’re damn right I did.

[Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont]

Thousands of Connecticut residents are affected by Trump’s decision to end TPS for Haitians, Syrians, and others. Today I asked the legislature for approval to direct $5M from the Federal Cuts Response Fund to support these individuals suddenly losing their work authorization and legal status.

Many TPS holders have called Connecticut home for years, raising families, building businesses, contributing to our economy, and enriching the fabric of our state. It is shameful that the Trump administration has decided to strip these individuals of their legal status and ability to work, knowing full well their countries of origin are still in the grips of violence and economic collapse. The added threat that ICE may target them for deportation shows the Trump immigration policy for what it truly is: cruelty and disruption rather than keeping communities safe.

The funding we’re announcing today is one way our state can help provide stability as the affected families face difficult decisions, but these communities need and deserve a solution at the federal level. Under Trump, the United States seems to have abandoned its role as a beacon of hope and refuge, but Connecticut will not turn its back on these communities.

Honored to have Sen. @mattlesser's support, to deliver for Middletown, and to stand on the right side of history. I'll never back down in the fight to protect Social Security and Medicare, and to defend working families against Trump, Musk, and the corporate billionaire class.

Gooooooooooool! 🇦🇷

[John Larson @JohnLarsonCT]

I absolutely agree with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez: Democrats must be unflinchingly pro-working-class. Voters need to be wary of corporate Democrats like Luke Bronin who are trying to move our party to the right.

@ReyVega9 Labor, foreign policy, healthcare...

This is an unusual election where an incumbent Democrat is being primaried from the right.

[CT Election Guide @ctelectionguide]

The first debate in Connecticut's competitive CT-01 Democratic primary saw both frontrunners claim victory. Rep. John Larson attacked Luke Bronin as a "corporate centrist," while Bronin argued Larson's decades in Congress haven't translated into results, pointing to his long-stalled Social Security bill as an example.

What a match! I support Argentina 🇦🇷 but Cape Verde 🇨🇻 played spectacularly - what an incredible team playing with heart and immense skill into ET.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Hey what candidate for CT Governor used to write for the Federalist?

Seyo’s abduction by ICE—guns drawn outside Dunkin’ Donuts—shook the West Hartford community. We stand together with the Cecunjanins fighting for Seyo’s release. ICE is tearing families apart and striking fear in the hearts of immigrant communities. Enough!

[John Larson @JohnLarsonCT]

This is HUGE - two of the biggest unions in CT, representing 60K+ workers, have officially endorsed our campaign. Honored to earn @AFTCT and @AFSCMECT4's support in addition to @CSEA_CT's endorsement last week. We now have over THIRTY unions and @WorkingFamilies behind us!

[CT Senate Democrats @CTSenateDems]

Sen. Lesser joining tenants of a MTown apt building as they announce the formation of a new union & file complaints against the building’s landlord.

They are dealing with ongoing issues & there is a lack of response from the landlord to address needed repairs.
