Be careful: I wouldn't want to roll the dice.
The President is dishonestly promising ICE agents that they're above the law, but statutes of limitations run past the end of this administration.
With 250 years of precedent on our side we can afford to be methodical and patient.

Glad to meet with seniors in Newington today. As Trump and his allies take an axe to the programs families rely on, Iām proud to be in this fight with @MattLesser and @TeamTurcoCT. Weāre working to not only protect Social Security but expand it to keep pace with rising costs!

Unanimous! So grateful to be endorsed for re-election by every delegate from the five towns of the 9th District. Tx Rakim Grant and Tom Cosker for their moving nomination & seconding speeches. Fired up by the work ahead.

Our homelessness efforts are under pressure from MAGA Republicans in Washington - who are raising costs for the American people (gas, food, housing) while slashing funding for the social programs we need.

I joined the Gov to announce $5 million in new funding to support our community response efforts to get people housed and off the streets.

Oh well. I suppose I got this one wrong.

I hope CT Republicans think carefully and nominate a moderate who can actually work with Democrats like @erinstewartct instead of running a conservative Trump supporter like Senator Sampson. We wouldn't be able to get anything done!

I am so grateful to @HealthEquityCT, Middletown's own Rev. Robyn Anderson and Comptroller @SeanScanlonCT for the kind remarks. Q was a dear friend and I miss him every single day.
This year we are focused on the work ahead - including passing #SB3.

SB 293 extends the statute of limitations for fertility fraud. This after Victoria Hill discovered she & her mom were victims of a former Yale doctor who secretly used his own sperm.
Sen. Lesser voted for accountability for victims of fertility fraud.
