People come to CT for the pizza, but leave because of the high taxes, housing prices & utility bills @GovNedLamont CT folks fleeing to Florida don’t have to miss New Haven apizza anymore. Now you can have your Pepe’s pie AND no state income tax, & lower property taxes @CTDems
Pizza, community, and a thriving region. It’s always good to be in Eastern Connecticut and spend some time in Mystic hearing from our state’s small businesses.

Weak, shortsighted partisan move @GovNedLamont @CTDems that reflects poorly on CT “Too expensive” for a Republican-led initiative? Sudden fiscal restraint? Selective austerity Our leaders should be aggressively lowering taxes and utility rates to attract tourists and businesses
Ridiculous and petty, Connecticut @GovNedLamont @CTSenateDems @CTHouseDems

. @GovNedLamont is pulling out all the stops, paying medical debt off for a select group of CT voters during an election year Meanwhile, approx. 1.3 million @EversourceCT customers see ZERO relief from the public benefits charges that are mandated by @CTDems policies
This week, Gov. @NedLamont announced his administration would be erasing medical debt for more than 97,000 Connecticut residents.

Relief is temporary, with @EversourceCT proposing a 13% average residential rate hike in 2027 Public Benefits Charges drove your electric bills through the roof because of @CTDems policies Another gimmick from @GovNedLamont in an election year @CTDems aren’t fooling anyone
Gov. Lamont says he wants to lower utility bills. Well, he has a choice on his desk at this very moment. H.B. 5340, which passed the legislature in May on a party line vote, would objectively increase Public Benefits charges in our electricity bills by billions over the coming decades. It would do so by subsidizing profits of for profit Energy production companies on the backs of working class Connecticut families. If Gov. Lamont wants to avoid violating another promise to voters, he must veto this H.B. 5340 before it automatically becomes law in just under two weeks and change course.

Starting this month, Connecticut residents are seeing approximately $30 in savings on their electricity bills⚡️ The public benefits charge is now a credit on your bill, as a direct result of our investment in nuclear power.

Taxpayers aren’t your Amazon, @erinstewartct Erin Stewart’s P-card scandal is a disgrace & betrayal of conservative principles @CTDems cheer the distraction While larger, ongoing scandals are being ignored @GovNedLamont This is exactly why voters distrust politicians
Her total purchases went from about $7,500 during the first year of the city’s purchasing card program to about $40,000 during her last full fiscal year in office. ctpost.com/news/article/erin…

CT won’t give @TheJusticeDept full voter rolls to verify eligibility because they’re shielding potential problems, especially amid past local scandals (e.g., Bridgeport absentee ballot issues) @AGWilliamTong @GovNedLamont Accurate voter rolls are foundational to fair elections
Why would any state refuse to comply with a DOJ request to share voter rolls and ensure compliance with federal law?

The Connecticut Report Card is in…and it belongs in the trash, not on the fridge @GovNedLamont Connecticut voters are asking for something simple: Secure elections. Verified voters. Confidence in the outcome @CTDems @AAGDhillon @libsoftiktok Connecticut is worth saving
It's report card season! The Senate report card is in… and it’s not exactly something to hang on the fridge. They’ve mastered the performance. Perfected the delay. Prioritized everything—except the basics. Meanwhile, Americans are still asking for something simple: Secure elections. Verified voters. Confidence in the outcome. Instead? More excuses. More waiting. More “not right now.” America is worth saving. And securing our elections shouldn’t be the one subject they keep failing. 📣 Stop the excuses. Start the action. @LeaderJohnThune @SenJohnBarrasso @SenateGOP @SteveDeaceShow @glennbeck

If Connecticut doesn’t participate, CT taxpayers will still donate and claim the credit—the scholarships will go to students in participating states instead of staying local @GovNedLamont Opting in is a “no-brainer” for bringing extra resources to CT families at no state cost
BREAKING: New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced she will opt in to Trump's new school choice program. She is the second Democrat Governor to announce they will opt in. That makes 30 states so far.

. @GovNedLamont signed a bill further restricting @ICEgov enforcement in CT @AGWilliamTong @ctdems continue to vilify heroic ICE officers who target dangerous criminal illegal aliens for removal from Connecticut communities @CTDems Prioritize illegal alien criminals over YOU
While Governor Lamont vilifies the men and women of @ICEgov law enforcement, these are the types of dangerous criminal illegal aliens our heroic officers are working around the clock to remove from Connecticut communities:

This is absurd For voting—which decides elections, policy, and billions in spending—Connecticut Voters can simply sign an affidavit affirming their identity @GovNedLamont @CTSotS @CTDems are protecting dimes for cans over verifying who influences policy @EIwatchdogs @elonmusk
Connecticut requires a person’s driver’s license when cashing in more than 1,000 cans or bottles in a day. Yet Connecticut does not require a person’s driver’s license to vote. RIDICULOUS! Connecticut increased fines for returning out-of-state bottles and cans tenfold early this year by passing the Democrat bill SB 299 in late February. Democrat Gov. Ned Lamont signed it into law on March 3. Fines for first-time offenders now range from $500 to $750. Subsequent offenders face $1,000 fines. Third-time offenders could get up to a year in jail. Connecticut bottle redemption businesses and the state program have experienced significant losses due to out-of-state people taking advantage of Connecticut’s 10-cent return system. “There are more bottles being returned than there are being bought in the state.” This is due to states like Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New York only having a 5-cent return system. Connecticut lawmakers are hoping surrounding states at the 5-cent level raise theirs to 10 cents. Obviously what’s most ridiculous here is that Connecticut doesn’t think requiring a driver’s license is discriminatory when it comes to combatting bottle and can return fraud—yet they do when it comes to combatting election fraud.

Democrats in Connecticut just passed a law requiring ID to recyle more than 1,000 bottles in one day So ID to recyle empty cans but no ID to vote in elections Make it make sense

It’s time for an honest election in Connecticut Release the voter rolls (with the SS# and DL#'s that the DOJ @CivilRights requires) @CTSotS @GovNedLamont @AGWilliamTong Give us the numbers of people who shouldn’t be voting @HarmeetKDhillon Pass the SAVE America Act
“We’ve run 50–60 MILLION voter records and found HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS who should not be on the rolls—dead voters, movers, duplicates, even non-citizens. This is not ‘a conspiracy theory.’ It’s data.” @HarmeetKDhillon This is exactly why Cause of America was founded: corrupt voter rolls mass mail ballots no real ID checks = a system BUILT for abuse. We don’t fix this with press releases. We fix it with citizen-led canvassing, list cleanup, and lawfare in every corrupt county in America. Join us in the fight. CauseOfAmerica.org

It’s only good to be #47 if you’re @POTUS Thanks to @GovNedLamont and @CTDems policies, Connecticut has one of the highest property tax burdens in the nation and imposes harmful estate and gift taxes, making the state less attractive to homeowners and high-net-worth individuals
Connecticut trying for #50-the highest taxed state in the country

Don’t forget, the pizza! Thanks to @GovNedLamont People come for the pizza and leave for the taxes @CTDems tax you coming, going, earning, spending, owning, leaving no stone unturned or penny unclaimed!
Good luck. CT has a great coastline and nice scenery/topography. Just need taxpayer-friendly policies like it used to have back in the day.

. @AGWilliamTong Protects Illegal Immigrants @GovNedLamont to Undocumented Immigrants: 'You're Welcome Here' @ChrisMurphyCT : "The people we care about most, the undocumented" @CTDems Prioritize illegal aliens over the safety of law abiding CT citizens @AGPamBondi @DHSgov
Democrat Connecticut Attorney General William Tong vows to protect illegal immigrants, but says nothing about protecting American citizens “I want it to be clear to everybody in this state, in this building across Connecticut, that it is the policy and the law of the state of Connecticut to respect, honor, and protect (illegal) immigrants and (illegal) immigrant families. Period.” Connecticut operates under the Trust Act, meaning State and local law enforcement generally cannot honor ICE immigration detainers He’s telling you he’s only focused on protecting illegals

. @CTDems @GovNedLamont are committed to securing recycling but not to securing elections @A1Policy You need a photo ID to recycle cans No photo ID required to vote Cans over election integrity? @SenBlumenthal @ChrisMurphyCT foxnews.com/politics/connect…
Unless we have photo ID, elections are obviously subject to massive unprovable fraud
