Changes made by Secretary McMahon will result in thousands of public sector employees being disqualified from student loan forgiveness. She may not have answers, but CT has an Attorney General who is challenging these new restrictive rules.

A snippet of my busy in-session week 🎞️ For a full rundown subscribe to my weekly newsletter.

An exhibition of excellence! What a pleasure to moderate the CT NAACP Great Debate featuring Yale and Howard University.

It’s “Fly-in" season at the U.S. Capitol and CT05 constituents, organizations and advocates traveled to DC to bring their concerns directly to Congress. These meetings are an essential part of the legislative process.

More than 50,000 Connecticut residents lost SNAP benefits since the passage of H.R.1, and it is unclear what the USDA is doing to ensure these families don’t fall deeper into hunger. Grateful for the actions taken by Gov. Lamont to keep CT families fed.

Connecticut residents make the trek to D.C. to discuss federal priorities for their organizations. Topics included workforce development, healthcare, education, veterans, and everything in between.

I’m on the floor at 11pm because Republicans put forth a Farm Bill that cements $187B in SNAP cuts, gives a blanket liability shield to pesticide corporations, rolls back environmental programs & does not address destabilizing tariffs. This Farm Bill does not meet the moment for families & farmers.

What did you think of Song Sung Blue? Personally it’s my favorite love story of all time! Why? Because they were equal partners that had something deeply in common that carried their love story BEYOND just getting together!

I wish they knew where the farmer lives that feeds the Orange Pig With a Wig. I suppose that's against the rules of war though... (unless you are the Orange Pig With a Wig). Sigh. Apologies to real Pigs all over the world - it's extremely insulting to you all.

Trump is stealing $1.8 billion from American taxpayers to pay off his MAGA allies & January 6 defendants. All while families across the country struggle to afford groceries, rent, or a trip to the doctor. I’m fighting back with my colleagues & filing in court.
