September is #SuicidePreventionMonth. This is a time to ensure our loved ones have access to mental health support. I am proud to fund the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline that continues to save lives. If you are struggling, please call or text 988 for help.

Project 2025 prohibits funding to states, like Connecticut, that allow women to travel from other states for abortion services. No woman should be held hostage by their geography & no government should control medical decisions. We can't let Republicans take away our rights.

Today, September 10th, marks National #FirearmSuicidePreventionDay. With an alarming rate of 67 lives lost every day, the firearm suicide crisis must be addressed. By ensuring guns are stored safely we can prevent more of these tragedies.

September is #HungerActionMonth. The movement to end hunger requires support from everyone. I will continue to fight to ensure our most vulnerable communities have food security.

Project 2025 will directly cut Social Security for 2.6 million seniors in Connecticut. This extreme agenda pays no mind to the hardworking middle class and we cannot allow it to move forward.

.Governor Kathy Hochul I commend your courage in confronting your skin cancer diagnosis, this is a testament to your leadership and strength. Let this remind us of the importance of regular cancer screenings for all this #StandUpToCancerDay. Wishing you a full recovery, Kathy.

I stand with the Congressional Equality Caucus this #BannedBooksWeek against anti-LGBTQI+ censorship. The United States is founded on the freedom of speech and ideas. Issuing bans on books to attack LGBTQI+ individuals and students directly contradicts these freedoms.

Hey👋 Republicans are already implementing Project 2025 in their education funding bill by: 1. Slashing funding for student aid by $529M 2. Cutting Title I by $4.7B — kicking 72,000 teachers out of classrooms. 3. Blocking the Biden-Harris targeted loan forgiveness program.

The U.S. EPA & AmeriCorps united today to launch the Environmental Justice Climate Corps! This historic initiative will train the next generation of climate leaders, helping them build careers that combat the climate crisis and keep our planet livable.🌍💚

The opps are going to hate this one🤭

Thank you President Donald J. Trump & Vice President JD Vance Harris for announcing the new Executive Order directing federal agencies to improve school-based active shooter drills & encourage safe storage of firearms.   This is a big step in keeping our students safe.   Signing #EthansLaw into effect is the next.

356 schools across the country that have received the National Blue Ribbon distinction... Among them stands Connecticut's own: Sunnyside Elementary School of Shelton! Congratulations to all the hardworking students, teachers, and administrators at Sunnyside. What an honor!

Project 2025 guarantees cuts to emergency contraception to 518,000 women living here in Connecticut. It criminalizes the delivery of medication abortion nationwide, including in states where abortion is still legal. This cruel agenda must be stopped in its tracks.

#NationalComingOutDay calls on us to build a future where everyone can embrace their identity free from fear and violence. Today, we honor the bravery of LGBTQI+ individuals who come out and live authentically despite the challenges they face.

Wishing our Jewish community a meaningful and reflective Yom Kippur. May this day of atonement bring clarity, compassion, and renewal for the year ahead. G’mar Chatimah Tovah!

The deck has been stacked against middle-class Americans for far too long. Even the hardest-working people are struggling to pay their bills, afford childcare, or put food on the table. I will always fight to lower everyday costs & ensure American can provide for their families.

I spoke with NIH Director to ensure research discoveries are translated into treatment, invested in women’s health research, & target mental health research to improve people's lives. It's my mission to increase bipartisan investments in NIH’s life-saving research for 2025.
