At my town halls in eastern CT, people are seriously concerned about health care cuts in the so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill" H.R. 1. These cuts would take away health care for 15 million Americans & put our hospitals in dire financial straits. No wonder hospitals from all

The cuts to Medicaid in the misnamed "One Big Beautiful Bill" are getting WORSE in the Senate version of the bill. I visited Lawrence + Memorial hospital in New London to hear how these cuts will impact services. 40% of L+M patients are covered by Medicaid. As the American

Four-star Army General David Petraeus' famous 2003 maxim about the Iraq War, "tell me how this ends", should be at the forefront in the mind of every American, particularly President Trump, who hit Iran with military force without a declaration of war which the Constitution

Three years ago, the Supreme Court took away women's rights to make their own health care decisions. Now, millions of women live under extreme state abortion bans. Congress must pass the Women's Health Protection Act to restore reproductive rights nationwide.

Mark Davis was a deeply respected, hardworking, and trusted reporter. He went above and beyond to invest himself in the issues and tell the story to the people of Connecticut. Mark will be missed by our state. I’m sending my deepest condolences to the Davis family and Mark's

All sorts of ugly provisions are slithering out of the “Big Beautiful Bill” – including health care cuts that are so bad, hospitals will be forced to close. The House passed the bill in the DEAD OF NIGHT last month. Now, the Senate is making it even WORSE. We've got to block

The Supreme Court’s decision to limit the reach of well established citizenship rights in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution to random federal district court geographic zones tramples on the principle of “equal justice under the law”, enshrined on the Supreme Court building.

This week, I met with the Connecticut Nurses Association, who earnestly stressed how much health care providers rely on strong federal Medicaid funding. As they bluntly stated, Medicaid pays for nurses. We must stop the massive Medicaid cuts in the misnamed “Big Beautiful Bill”.

This is great news for Waterford. This week, Electric Boat announced that it is acquiring the old Macy’s at Crystal Mall for new office space and 700 jobs. Amid record hiring rates at the Groton shipyard, this news really underscores the pivotal role southeastern Connecticut

The health care cuts in the "Big Beautiful Bill" are so massive that hospitals across Connecticut will be forced to scale back services for all patients. I heard that from L+M Hospital in New London on the shoreline and now from Johnson Memorial Hospital in Stafford near the

The Senate just passed a 900-page megabill that will kick millions off their health care and force the hospitals we all rely on to close. All to pay for a permanent tax break for the top 1% AND still blow up the deficit by TRILLIONS. The fight now moves to the House to stop

Back in DC to vote on the awful 900-page “Big Beautiful Bill”. I’m a BIG NO. The American people oppose this bill by a 2-1 margin. Keep making your voices heard!

Before heading back to DC yesterday, I visited the kids at Thames River Magnet School during lunchtime – powered by Groton Public Schools’ summer meals program. USDA funding makes free breakfast & lunch possible for these students. I’m fighting to protect food programs from cuts

I voted NO on the largest health care cut in U.S. history, a tax giveaway for the rich, and a $3.4 trillion increase to the deficit. We have a golden opportunity to lower costs, grow the economy, & cut the debt. Instead, the GOP jammed through this reckless bill. Like any law, it

President Trump promised that he would “love and cherish” Medicaid and Medicare. Now, he just signed into law the largest cut to Medicaid in U.S. history in a bill that is so fiscally irresponsible, it will also trigger a $500 billion cut to Medicare. All to give the rich a tax
