Honored to visit Clinton’s American Legion Post 66 & celebrate federal Congressionally Directed Spending Grant for renovations necessary to its headquarters. https://t.co/9iz5wnLY3a

Doctors United For Ukraine Candlelight Concert at St Mary’s Church in New Haven was exquisitely beautiful & deeply moving. I’ve seen first hand the lifesaving work done by these medical profess...

For years, Viktor Orbán undermined democratic institutions while enabling Putin. Hungarian voters rejected Russia’s influence. This moment is a reminder: democracy requires accountability, transpar...

On @TheWeekendMSNOW, I discuss how Trump has put our economy in a world of hurt—exponentially exacerbated by his war with Iran. https://t.co/Cbl57nnCOV

A blockade of the Hormuz strait, tightening the stranglehold on oil & gas shipments, threatens to aggravate the costs of Trump’s pointless war. Bombing & blockades won’t achieve peace. Nego...

The seismic shock of Trump’s Iran war—likely exacerbated by a blockade—is sending Tsunami waves of pain through economies worldwide. Prices are skyrocketing for food & fuel, & everything ma...

Trump’s blockade bluster is more flailing—in less than a week going from destroying a civilization to decimating the global economy. Confusion & chaos—grasping for new tactics—reflect complete ...

Thanks to Cheshire’s leaders & community for supporting this brave Afghan family, here legally.

Rihan has done everything right. Nothing wrong. An exemplary senior at Cheshire H.S., he’s here because his dad, Zia, worked to keep American troops safe in Afghanistan, & now has a Taliban tar...

Rihan should be released immediately after this unequivocal ruling by a federal judge that he was seized & detained illegally. ICE relied on erroneous paperwork, as it must have known, & no...

Mission accomplished! Congratulations to the heroic crew of Artemis II & everyone at NASA on this successful, historic voyage to the moon. You’re an inspiration to us all. https://t.co/XYMhkw2OWm

I am leading my colleagues in demanding that Treasury Secretary Basset allow this sanctions waiver to expire & reaffirm a clear, consistent commitment to hold Russia accountable. https://t.co/1...

Extending the waiver after it expires tomorrow would be the height of hypocrisy, & stupidity. We know Russia is providing Iran with valuable intelligence used to target our troops & assets—...

No way the Russia sanctions waiver should be extended. Trump’s waiver has handed Russia an extra $150 billion a day to fuel its murderous war machine killing & kidnapping Ukrainian kids—while i...

I do not recognize America in ICE’s cruelty. CT is standing behind Rihan & his family who came from Afghanistan to escape torture & death because they helped our troops & kept them safe...

How anyone can doubt the need for AI guardrails is beyond me. The dangers grow more frightening by the day. My bipartisan legislative  framework for protection & prevention of harm offers a pat...

I am furious & disgusted that ICE has arrested a Cheshire teen who came to the US because his family helped our troops in Afghanistan. This family deserves protection not prosecution. I am goin...

Polymarket's new rules on insider trading are paltry, inadequate, & late. I’m demanding answers from their CEO about the failure to prevent unethical bets & gambling on America’s national s...

Polymarket has become an illicit market to sell & exploit national security secrets. Just this week, Polymarket put the life of a U.S. servicemember up for wager & was caught allowing suspi...

The law forbids withdrawal from NATO without Congressional approval, but Trump can fatally weaken it by depleting troops & resources. We must stop him, with bipartisan action.
