Remember when Hartford had a daily newspaper with 100+ reporters covering state and local government in depth, plus business and more? Private equity gutted that paper, but now the CT Mirror has won a Pulitzer Prize. CT has a watchdog again and everyone in the state should be reading it.

BREAKING: Instacart is ending all price testing on its platform in the wake of this report.

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too. Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

BREAKING: Federal Judge McConnell orders the Trump administration to provide full SNAP payments to states for November, finding that the administration did not comply with his order. Judge raises Trump's Truth social post as evidence that he intended to defy the order.

The Patriots run defense extends their NFL record streak to 9 games not allowing an opposing RB to rush for 50 yards against them. Quietly one of the most impressive performances of any defensive unit in the league this year.

Breaking: Sen. Jeff Merkley spoke on the Senate floor for 22 hours and 37 minutes to denounce Trump and his agenda. It's the fourth longest floor speech in U.S. Senate history.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social

Sen. Jeff Merkley has been speaking on the Senate floor since 6:20pm last night — protesting Trump and warning that "tyranny has arrived." "Trump is shredding our Constitution. Is it okay for masked federal agents to arrest people off the street because of their skin color … Not in a free America."

Congratulations & thanks to CT’s Airport Authority for defying DHS Secy Noem’s illegal directive to show partisan propaganda on TSA screens. Like numerous other airports, Bradley refuses to bow down to this blatant Hatch Act violation. Stay strong.
