I'm so excited to announce something I worked on when we were all stuck at home... I wrote a book! And it’s now available for pre-order: simonandschuster.com/books/1…
Nearly every week, I get a call from a student or recent graduate who wants to run for office...

This is my first story for the Examiner. Had a great run at the Mirror including a Pulitzer, but if you know me you now I've always been cops and courts guy at heart so going back to my roots especially in this case as I covered many of these NH cases. ctexaminer.com/2026/05/26/tr…

Attention High School Students:
If you get good grades, you can receive automatic admission to 10 public and private colleges and universities in Connecticut. I strongly encourage every high school student to seize this opportunity. portal.ct.gov/governor/news/…

Reckless driving is bad and no one should do it. No question.
But you’re talking about deporting a teenager without any due process. CT doesn’t shield people convicted of a crime — but should we be complicit in the separation of families when someone is accused of a misdemeanor?

The man who was arrested for injuring two cops in Enfield is the country illegally. But under CT’s amnesty Trust Act, CT authorities are prohibited from turning him over to immigration authorities despite his arrest. On top of that our taxpayers are forced to spend hundreds of millions subsidizing people in the country illegally. We could have sensible, balanced policies that most people support—but instead CT Dems insist on crazy & dangerous ones.

I always appreciated (though disagreed) with your commitment to small government principles. So when did your party become ok with letting the government get so big that it can incarcerate and deport someone it accused of a misdemeanor without the due process of law?

Thrilled to share that I graduated from law school last month and will begin working as a public defender with @LegalAidNYC this Fall. We’re living through scary times — looking forward to standing up in court for the rights of those who could not otherwise afford an attorney.

When I was in the CT State Senate, I was the founder, leader, and, well, sole member of the Senate’s Renters Caucus.
Maybe CT can make progress on preventing evictions and capping rents by electing a representative legislature. After all, 1/3 of CT residents rent their home!

Nearly 1 in 5 CT lawmakers are landlords. Could that affect policy? ctmirror.org/2025/04/27/ct-l…

If you're an elected Democrat and you don't speak out about Trump's proposal to jail American citizens in a foreign torture dungeon for life, what are you even doing in public office? Why have the job?

Last week, Tulsi Gabbard said “any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of law and will be treated as such.”
By the Trump admin’s own “standards”everyone on this chain would lose their access to classified info and be subject to criminal investigation.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on the Houthis in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

Incredibly excited to see Dividing Lines in print! This book will re-shape how you think about infrastructure, equity, and the legacy of Jim Crow. Proud to have contributed to the project in a small way, and grateful to call @DeborahNArcher a professor, mentor, and friend.

Couldn’t be a more important time for young Democrats to make their voices heard. Looking forward to the conversation!
