'There have been decisions by governments that have caused our social fabric to disintegrate,” Murphy told me, describing more systemic issues weighing on the nation’s psyche. “And I think people on the right and the left are really unhappy with that.”

My speech today at the Center on Christianity and Public Life:

“What I believe is that supporting institutions that help build the common good and help grow social connections, must be at the center, not the periphery, of our public work.'

An AR-15.

A guy showed up near the Capitol with a semi automatic military assault rifle today and it’s just like “ho hum that’s just America!”

I’m at the Center for Christianity and Public Life summit in Washington.

I’m about to give the keynote. My speech - which I will post later - is on the ways in which churches and labor unions are the two most powerful forces to address America’s crisis of purpose and connection.

I’m headed to the Senate floor right now to talk about the incredibly important case before the Supreme Court right now: U.S. v. Rahimi.

This radical Supreme Court is considering invalidating all laws that keep guns from domestic abusers.

Just unreal. We need to fight this.

Sen. Chris Murphy wants to solve the loneliness epidemic.

“We’ve become so obsessed with our own success and individual achievement and wealth. We’ve lost a sense that we should feel better the healthier our community is doing”. politico.com/news/2023/11/0…

My latest story is on the ppl in government taking loneliness seriously. Treating it like a health problem. Proposing legislation. Trying to help people connect. Some are lonely. Others are worried about the rest of us

I got my political start in Southington and it was fun to reunite with some old friends as I stopped by a phone banking event. They’ve nominated a great slate for Town Council - a few former Republicans!

Stop number four today is with candidates running in the Farmington Valley - Canton, Avon, Simsbury and Farmington. It was a huge crowd and everyone was heading out to door knock after!

I’m criss-crossing the state today campaigning for great candidates for local office. First stop is Vernon where Laurie Bajorek is running a great campaign for Mayor and my staffer Zozan is running for Council!

This is really important. Jewish students feel dangerously unsafe right now. Where you find antisemitism, violence is soon to follow, and we need to take steps right now to keep our students safe.
