There needs to be an audit of whether the proceeds from these specialized plates are actually going to the intended purpose (some of these funds are earmarked, others are not -- but I've heard legit complaints about the 'CT Greenways' plates which are) ctinsider.com/connecticut/ar…

So actually none of the $$ goes to Foodshare at all. But much of the public will go on believing these "special interest plates" (of which there are many) are actually funding particular charities or programs when in fact they are going to pay off debt or some bureaucrat's salary

A judge gave out some x-rated candy as a joke and Kevin Rennie acts like it’s a national crisis. Meanwhile, we have a rapist & a pedophile in the White House. Maybe save the “new low” pearl-clutching for someone abusing power, not handing out gag gifts 🙄 courant.com/2025/08/01/kev…

Colin McEnroe calls Jillian Gilchrest Jillian Gilchrest a “Millennial who won’t wait”—not a leader, who took on gun violence and fought for abortion rights. No mention of the issues she champions. Or, actually, of any issues at all. Just sentimental vibes, personal anecdotes, resumes.

New Haven State’s Attorney Doyle’s prosecutorial misconduct in State v. Parris—misleading the jury about basic criminal law—resulted in a reversed murder conviction. How can New Haven’s chief prosecutor ensure justice when he himself denies fair trials? nhregister.com/news/article/n…

How about the way things are done for the Uber and Lyft drivers, the Amazon warehouse workers, and the fast food chain workers in your district, who are struggling to survive, are you willing to make some bigger change and advocate for them? What are your ISSUES?

This comes not long after Windham State’s Attorney Mahoney (now retired) was called out by the Supreme Court for referring to a defense lawyer’s strategy as “nuts and sluts” in oral argument. What message does this impropriety by top prosecutors send to line prosecutors?

Yale has refused for years to cooperate with New Haven’s Civilian Review Board—ignoring letters, oversight, and city law. There is no functioning accountability board for Yale’s police force. With a multibillion dollar endowment, what could go wrong? newhavenindependent.org/article/yale_c…

No member of Congress from Connecticut has ever faced a primary challenger. Sounds rigged, right? My latest in Connecticut Mirror exposes how John Larson, Rosa DeLauro, Jim Himes, Ned Lamont & William Tong benefit from laws that keep challengers off primary ballots ctmirror.org/2025/08/06/con…

Kevin Rennie calls Dr. Saud Anwar’s plan to spend 72 hours in solitary “performative.” What’s really performative is pretending “restrictive housing” isn’t solitary, mocking someone willing to see conditions firsthand, and repeating DOC talking points courant.com/2025/08/09/kev…

It’s not. It’s actually a great idea. Dr. Saud Anwar is doing what more lawmakers should—seeing prison conditions firsthand, not taking DOC press releases at face value.

CT GOP mass-emailing “CT Liberals Are Criminals” like this is normal political discourse. Bold move, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for ‘em.

Trevor Watson. James Harris. Both dead by suicide in CT prisons. At age 23. A psychiatrist with 50+ years of experience found Connecticut DOC ignored basic suicide prevention—no screenings, no evals, access to lethal means. This is why Dr. Saud Anwar is right & Kevin Rennie wrong.

Connecticut shade tobacco can be grown here and sold for luxury cigars. Cannabis can be grown here and sold for medicine. One is legal to farm. The other is not. Time to change that—CT residents should have the right to farm cannabis given our ag heritage courant.com/2025/08/11/a-l…

Trump inflicting terrorism on our Afghan allies, Ukrainian war survivors, parents and children who fled real violence. All now live in fear because of his bans and deportations. ICE has a bigger budget than FBI. Fuck Donald Trump who makes us all less safe courant.com/2025/08/10/ct-…
