President Trump’s oil and gas stocks nearly doubled in value since he started the war with Iran. President Trump is right: he and his billionaire friends are making a fortune. But at your expense. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-o...

While Americans pay more at the pump because of a war President Trump started, giant corporations & their investors, like Trump, are cashing in & bragging. His gains must be investigated, & we must bring an end to the Iran War to finally bring down the price of oil.

As President Trump lines his own pockets and those of his billionaire friends, millions of working families are paying the price of a cost-of-living crisis he created. It’s time to investigate Trump’s profits, end the war in Iran, and bring down costs for American families.

Hard working American families should never have to go into debt to put food on the table or keep a roof over their heads. Trump’s economic policy is to enrich his billionaire friends while impoverishing our communities.

With extreme weather & natural disasters on the rise, Americans should be able to turn to FEMA in moments of distress.   Instead, DHS funds are going to ballrooms, private planes, & political ads. Those are their priorities, not our families’ safety.

I am deeply grateful to hear that Pope Leo XIV is cancer-free. I am praying for His Holiness’ continued good health, strength, and many more years of faith, hope, and service to humanity and Catholics around the world.

Vladimir Putin is not a humanitarian. He’s a tyrant, a criminal, & currently at war with our ally Ukraine, where he is kidnapping children & deliberately targeting civilians. Trump is in league with Moscow. We can’t even call this complacent. It looks more like collaboration.

I am glad the Board of Alders is fighting to defend academic freedom and Yale students. There is no doubt Yale is being pushed up against the wall, but this is when our integrity matters the most. Our community demands that Yale not capitulate to the Trump Administration.

The GOP is ripping money out of your pockets.

This past Sunday, I was honored to join @SenBlumenthal at St. Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church to stand with the people of Ukraine. As Russia continues its brutal attacks, we must continue to ensure Ukraine has the resources it needs to defend itself and protect its people.

CT families are being forced to make an impossible choice: make ends meet or stay in the community you call home. Trump's Iran war is driving up costs and forcing working families to pay more for less. Communities across the country are impacted by his recklessness.

Since the Trump Department of Justice decided to just give these egg companies a smack on the wrist for colluding to raise prices. Democrats must push for a real investigation in the majority to hold these companies accountable. politi.co/4i6exY5

Can someone tell OMB and the rest of the Republicans this is what the First Lady wants because their budgets are the complete opposite.

Early detection saves lives and your insurance shouldn’t be the reason you don’t get screened. Congress must pass my Find It Early Act to eliminate out-of-pocket costs for breast cancer screenings. Women deserve access to life saving care.

A kindergartener. An 8-year-old. An 11-year-old. Their teacher. All killed where they should have been safest: at school. I’m praying for their families & the two still fighting for their lives. Congress must act on gun safety & pass Ethan's Law. #KeepKidsSafe

As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, thank you to the Hispanic community that calls CT-03 home. I celebrate your strength and contributions that make Connecticut better every day, and I stand with you as our community faces these increasingly vile threats.

Higher costs are hurting everyone, but seniors are taking a big hit. A 3.6% increase in Social Security benefits won’t cover what Trump’s tariffs cost have cost you.

Trump is now officially breaking his own sanction laws on Russia, exactly what I was concerned would happen when they presented the Russian Sanctions Act last month. This won't bring gas prices down. It'll only put American dollars in the hands of a murderous dictator.

No president should use the power of the federal government to threaten, silence, or intimidate political opponents. I stand with Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. This is part of the playbook to rile up his supporters in advance of the midterms. www.cnn.com/2026/10/13/p...

Since 2020, thousands of CT residents have fallen into poverty and with costs going up, even more families are being stretched thin. Meanwhile, Republicans continue to cut funding from essential programs like Medicaid & SNAP. This crucial aid needs to flow, not go down.

Paychecks can’t keep up with inflation driven by Trumps war of choice in Iran. More Americans are going to be living paycheck to paycheck. Simple as that.

The average price of gas has been above $4 per gallon for 158 days straight. A new record. Brought to you by President Trump.

My prayers are with Pope Leo XIV and his family. I join Catholics around the world in praying for his holinesses full recovery. apnews.com/article/vati...

ICE continues to terrorize our communities with zero accountability; this time in New York, they shot a man with his 5-year-old child in the car. ICE must be reined in before more senseless violence continues. ICE must not get another dime until reforms. The violence must end.

Trump is clearly putting corporate interests above the health of Americans - look no further than the Administration’s support for pesticide liability. I co-lead a bill to prevent that. We should be focused on making the food we eat safer & healthier. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

I joined Yale students & faculty to demand Yale to oppose any settlement with the Trump’s Department of Justice. When standing up for one’s values, fighting back is always worth it. I will stand in that fight with you - and we can win it, together.

We’re in hurricane season, and communities count on FEMA when disaster strikes. But Trump has weakened the agency’s ability to respond when help is needed most. When Hurricane Isaias hits, will the Gulf Coast be left to fend for themselves? apnews.com/article/trop...

President Trump's tariff policies, tax cuts for billionaires, and war of choice in Iran have led to high costs and less money in Americans’ pockets. He has a trifecta in Washington. He has used it to enrich himself and his friends – not to help Americans with affordability

Connecticut families will pay an extra $1,540 to heat their homes this winter as Trumps war in Iran continues to drive up prices. If “America First” means CT families choosing between freezing or starving, who is actually coming first? www.ctinsider.com/data/article...

Yusuf Shanaran, his wife and four children are trapped in their home in the occupied West Bank. Settlers who constructed an illegal outpost to isolate them are attacking the family and destroying their home and have not been arrested. The IDF must intervene to protect Yusuf and his family!

This week, I was glad to stop by WHEAT Food Pantry to see how they are keeping our community fed. WHEAT is an important cornerstone in providing nutritious food & personal care items to our community. WHEAT & I share the same belief: food is a human right.

Working Latinas are paid just 53 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic white men. Latinas can’t afford to lose $33,370 to the wage gap each year. We must pass my Paycheck Fairness Act to fight for #LatinaEqualPay, because an economy that exploits working women harms us all.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. On Monday I stood with BHcare in New Haven to honor survivors and remember victims of domestic violence. With funding for the Office of Violence Against Women under threat, we must protect survivors and the resources they rely on.

First, SNAP. Then, Medicaid. Now, public schools. Trump and Republicans just can't stop coming for our kids.

President Trump admitted his “public service announcements” are political ads. At minimum, the money he stole from you—the taxpayers—for these ads should be returned to the Treasury, & his top aides who facilitated this theft must be held accountable.

Today marks three years since the terrible Hamas-led attack, killing 1,200 innocent people. My prayers are with the families that lost loved ones. We must work to forge a lasting peace.

Today, I joined Senator Blumenthal and Mayor Joe Carfora in East Haven to present $273,827 in federal funding to East Haven firefighters. This will help provide and improve the resources they need in emergencies. Excited to see this investment support our firefighters!

No American city, no American, is a "small price to pay." Not Los Angeles, not San Diego, not anywhere. It seems President Trump has forgotten who he works for. An absolutely vile statement. So much for America first.

CT Farmers!! The round one deadline to apply for the $53 million disaster relief fund is tomorrow, October 7th! Small Farmers — these funds have been designated to help keep operations like yours running following disaster-related losses. Don’t miss out! applyfrs.ctgrown.org/submit

I'm honored to present Connecticut’s Third Congressional District Veteran Impact Award to Mr. Ralph Roper, a 41 year veteran of the US Army. Out of uniform, Ralph has committed himself to serving his community of Naugatuck for decades. Thank you for your dedication & devotion to serving others.
