Blanche’s walk-back of the anti-weaponization fund is a sham. There is absolutely nothing stopping Trump from going to court tomorrow & establishing this slush fund.

Our Constitution affords all people equal treatment under the law, but in Trump’s America, he & his family members are above the law.

Likewise, his political allies, criminal cop-beaters who attacked the Capitol at his behest, & corrupt cronies. The corrupt IRS settlement, tax amnesty agreement, & the slush fund all amount to a multibillion-dollar piggy bank for the Trump family & their friends—while taking money out of your pocket.

If this “settlement” were allowed to stand, our Constitution’s equal protection principles could enable tens of thousands of others whose returns were revealed to make an argument for the same benefit. The total costs to taxpayers—which could be in the hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars—would be staggering. This Presidential self-dealing must be stopped.

This $14.7 million BUILD grant for East Street in New Britain is a solid investment that will take a dangerous intersection & make it safer. Success will be measured by every minute saved commuting, every crash prevented, & every business helped.

Be Safe, Buy Local. As Cyclospora spreads to new states, & CDC remains mired in uncertainty, there’s no evidence of any problem in CT grown lettuce. Wash it, & enjoy.

The Cyclospora outbreak & coverup threaten the food supply & public health. As Ranking Member on PSI, I’m demanding FDA & Taylor Farms disclose backroom dealing & apparent corruption that may have delayed action.

Today marks the 61st anniversary of Medicare & Medicaid, the backbone of our health care system. While Trump & Republicans slash these vital programs, I will continue to support bold ideas like Medicare for All to ensure every American has access to the care they need.

Crypto is the currency of choice for crooks. Lori Flowers shares her story as a victim of crypto-enabled transnational organized crime—in order for them to succeed, her scammers needed crypto. We cannot keep giving the bad guys an easy button.

Republicans want unprecedented cuts to veterans’ benefits. On the floor, I urged a new alternative—use unspent DOD funds to provide for the Major Richard Star Act. Sadly, Republicans rejected it.
