Insurance companies are required to provide comparable coverage for mental & physical health—restrictive requirements violate parity laws & make it harder for people to access care. Proud that CT is holding these companies accountable—we must do so nationwide. www.ctinsider.com/connecticut/...

Trump says don’t rush him on finishing the war in Iran. A war that leaves our military personnel in peril and that we cannot afford. Congress hasn’t been given a cost estimate. We don’t know what we’re spending or for how long we will need to.

Not only is Live Nation/Ticketmaster an illegal monopoly, an ITEP report found they pay ZERO federal income taxes. They price gouge fans, rake in billions, and contribute nothing back. Break it up.

Trump's proposed budget slashing $6 billion in NIH funds won't just gut live-saving biomedical research. These cuts could also result in a loss of 50,000 jobs & $11.58 billion in economic activity nationwide. As leader of @democrats-appropriations.house.gov, I won't let that happen.

The new Joint Economic Committee Democrat's report confirms what we already knew: Trump's war in Iran is making costs unbearable for everyday Americans. CT families have already paid $170 million more for gas since the war began—and all U.S. households have spent a staggering $16 billion.

Sweetheart contracts, deep-sixed investigations, rigged regulations—& more—are among the reasons donors want to hide.

Trump fought to keep the ballroom fundraising contract secret. Here’s what’s in it.

The agreement governing hundreds of millions in private donations was kept secret until a watchdog group sued and a judge ordered it disclosed.

Among all Trump’s immigration cruelties, this one would be especially hideous. Afghan allies who protected our troops were promised safety if America left. Now America is abandoning them & breaking its promise. Pass our Afghan Adjustment Act immediately.

Health care delayed is health care denied. Unconscionable & unacceptable, staffing cuts at the VA are resulting in reduced access to health care. Advocacy by @commondefense.bsky.social is elevating this cause & providing a voice to veterans across the country.

Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh proved his groveling subservience to Trump—parroting judicial nominees in evading questions on who won the 2020 elections & numerous other issues. Independence is indispensable in this job. His lack of it is disqualifying.

Trump’s Fed pick grilled by Senate panel, with confirmation still in limbo

Trump’s Fed pick, Kevin Warsh, was testifying at his confirmation hearing Tuesday, but a GOP senator’s hold related to a Justice Department probe clouds his path forward.
