Failure to disclose suicide attempts by 8 servicemembers in the Lincoln Carrier Strike Group—when I asked Acting Sec. Cao about medical issues—raises serious issues. Our Sailors deserve leaders who confront difficult facts not minimize them. I’m demanding answers. blumenthal.senate.gov/newsro…

Putin has surrounded & laid siege to the small Ukrainian town of Oleshky, stopping supplies of food & other essentials & reducing it to starvation & nonsurvival. Another war crime.

Trump’s failure to restore $53 million in clean energy grants is absolutely brazen—violating the law & court orders. Clean energy is more necessary now than ever. I am demanding this money be returned to CT.

I’m deeply saddened that another DOT worker was tragically killed on a CT highway. Elvin Hernandez should be going home to his family tonight. Drivers must slow down & move over for road crews & first responders. It’s a matter of life & death.

On today’s National Day of Action for the Health Care Workforce, I recognize the contributions of the thousands of immigrants in our health care system. We must protect these dedicated caregivers & providers from the Trump administration attacks. #healthcareneedsallofus

The grief, courage, & well-justified anger from witnesses at my spotlight forums on ICE's brutality make one thing clear—we need investigations & reforms to hold this Administration & its federal agents accountable. I joined @weeknightmsnow to discuss.

The Administration’s open defiance of a clear court order represents a dangerous, destructive new low in its attack on the rule of law & the Constitution. The court ruling is incontestable—because Trump so blatantly violated 1st Amendment principles. 1/
A POLITICO reporter was denied access to the White House and his press credentials confiscated after a judge ordered the Trump administration to immediately restore access for news organizations that President Donald Trump banned from the complex last week. politi.co/4dU7YX4

Very impressively, media outlets stuck together, rallying in solidarity to resist Trump’s selective censoring—even as he endeavored to divide them. If Administration defiance continues, media must continue to resist this illegal conduct. 3/

This report confirms my repeated concerns that VA has recklessly cancelled hundreds of contracts with no consideration of the impact on vets or VA operations. These cuts harmed veterans & were hidden from Congress & the public by senior VA officials. vaoig.gov/sites/default/file…

Sports books like Draft Kings are using AI to rank & target vulnerable & problem gamblers. They relentlessly foster addiction & relapse. Let’s pass my SAFE Bet Act to ban this AI exploitation outright. nytimes.com/2026/09/19/busin…
