Elon Musk called Social Security a Ponzi scheme and Donald Trump called it a scam. Make no mistake - they want to slash & privatize Americans' benefits. My resolution compels them to provide answers, but Republicans are trying to stop it from even coming to a vote in the House.

Residents like Irma Rappaport were tragically separated from their loved ones in long-term care during the COVID pandemic. We advanced our bill to ensure that isolation can never take place again out of the @WaysMeansCmte. It's time for the House to vote. courant.com/2026/09/24/a-ct-…

I gratefully thank everyone for the kind words you've sent me since the August 11th Primary.   There is especially one person who rarely receives appreciation for her help, and that is my wife, Leslie. Without her sacrifice, my life in public service would not have been possible.

PFAS chemicals have been linked to cancer, yet they remain a common ingredient in firefighting foams. I introduced legislation with @RepDarrenSoto and @CongBoyle to ensure firefighters suffering from PFAS-related illnesses get the compensation they deserve from their government.

More than a decade since the crumbling foundations crisis was discovered in our region, up to 35,000 homes have been impacted. Proud to get my tax relief plan with @RepJoeCourtney through the House so homeowners can afford to replace their foundations. newbritainherald.com/news/la…

While Social Security faces a staffing crisis that's creating barriers for Americans to get their benefits, Commissioner Bisignano said things have never been better. We're demanding answers. Why did officials reassign workers, cancel leave requests, and gut customer service?

Wishing all those observing Yom Kippur across Connecticut and around the world a peaceful day of reflection and renewal.

Donald Trump is going after press freedom because he can't force the media to toe the MAGA line.
 
This president wants to eliminate all forms of public dissent – from you, from me, and from the media. We won't stand for it. Never stop speaking out. nytimes.com/2026/09/18/busin…

This week, the House passed @RepJohnLarson and my bill, the Casualty Loss Deduction Restoration Act, which would provide long-overdue relief to Connecticut homeowners impacted by crumbling foundations.  Our bill would allow homeowners impacted by crumbling foundations due to pyrrhotite to claim the casualty loss deduction for repair costs and allow homeowners to retroactively claim the deduction starting in 2021. Passage was only possible because of John Larson’s work and leadership on the Ways and Means Committee. The Senate must now act to take up and pass this bill.

On Constitution Day, we celebrate the fundamental rights and freedoms that make our nation great.   With a President in the White House who views the Constitution as merely a suggestion and not the law of the land, we must remain vigilant in the fight for a more perfect union.

The brave survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse network deserve justice, and the American people deserve transparency. Todd Blanche continues to cover up the truth. I signed a petition to force a vote on a bill to compel the FULL RELEASE of these files. thehill.com/regulation/court…

Americans are sick of the illegal Iran war. It’s raising costs and putting our troops at risk.

We just voted to end it. I’m also ready to impeach Pete Hegseth.

Speaker Johnson is sending the House home to avoid accountability. He answers to Trump and his lackeys—not you.

AI isn’t slowing down and neither should Congress, but Republicans are trying to walk off the job. 

I joined my Democratic colleagues to call on Speaker Johnson to keep Congress in town. 

There is no time to wait. We need to pass real safeguards on the use of AI NOW!

As Trump's illegal war in Iran continues, diesel prices have soared to an all-time high.   Connecticut farmers are footing the bill, spending $1,474 more on average this year to put fuel in their tanks.   It's time to end this costly conflict and hold this president accountable.

Because of advocates like @alzct, we've made progress by investing in research to improve early diagnoses, reduce hospitalizations, and support families impacted by Alzheimer's.   Proud to support the ASAP Act today to expand coverage for screening and early detection. #ENDALZ

200 days since President Trump launched his illegal Iran war, we voted to end it. Twenty servicemembers have lost their lives and diesel prices have reached record highs. If the President won't follow the law, Congress needs to cut off all funding for this costly conflict now.

As Donald Trump wages an illegal war in Iran and terrorizes immigrant communities with Gestapo tactics in our neighborhoods, I voted to advance articles of impeachment against him. He must be held accountable.

Donald Trump's order to restrict your right to vote was blocked by the Supreme Court. His cronies tried to purge citizens from voter rolls and reject lawfully cast ballots. We'll continue to make sure they don't get in the way of a free and fair election! apnews.com/article/trump-mai…

Republicans flocked to Texas last week to celebrate Trump’s ballroom and tax breaks for billionaires—paid for with cuts to your healthcare. His failed agenda has cost the average household $3,800. Democrats are fighting to reverse these cuts and make life more affordable for you!

It was a great morning at the opening of the new Manchester Public Library—proudly built by union construction workers.
 
I was glad to secure $10 million in federal funding for this project and look forward to enjoying this community space with our neighbors for years to come!
