Nothing subtle or complicated about what's happening. Did I mention the only refugees we're taking from the entire world are white people from South Africa?

Opinion: Fairness shouldn’t depend on your profession Since taking office, I’ve heard it even more frequently from teachers across our state. It points to a simple but important truth: fairness shouldn’t depend on your profession

Fairness shouldn’t depend on your profession.

I wrote about why educators deserve a fair, consistent process and why guaranteeing neutral arbitration is long overdue.

Hard at work in Hartford today, focused on getting things done.

I'm going to keep working on solutions anyway.

Every piece of data says that we in Connecticut need to increasing our housing supply. It would help everyone, of every age, income level, everyone. But too may people just won’t accept it

Stable housing helps everyone: renters, landlords, homeowners, entire communities. But no matter how much data you share, it doesn’t fit into their world view so they will won’t accept it

It's frustrating how many people think protecting renters means someone else has to lose. We in Connecticut are working on just cause eviction protection for renters. And to me it’s really straightforward

The schedule says April 20 but I’ve learned to show up early.

Connecticut lawmakers go head-to-head in Fifth Annual CGA Kickball Classic HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Lawmakers put aside politics on Monday for a good cause, going head-to-head on the field. Democrats took on Republicans in the Fifth Annual CGA Kickball Classic at Dunkin&#…

After a dramatic kickball walk-off win, we had a great surprise running into UConn star Silas Demary Jr.! #ct #conneticut #uconn #kickball

Just to show how ingrained car culture in the us is, it keeps getting treated as bizarre that I will walk to Dunkin park from the state capital instead of drive by my fellow legislators.

It’s a half mile and there are sidewalks and crosswalks the whole way.

Magyar's no mercy approach needs to be used in the US

Trump will pardon everyone for everything he can-including himself

But pardons don't cover state crimes. And despite the SCOTUS immunity decision, there are still ways to prosecute him

We cannot repeat the failures of the Biden administration

The United States LOST 150,000 manufacturing and construction jobs last year.

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

Earlier this week was Domestic Violence Prevention Day at the Capitol. I had the opportunity to meet with so many incredible organizations, including Safe Futures, which does vital work supporting survivors.

Thank you to Katherine Verano and the entire team for all that you do. #ct #connecticut

Connecticut does not have enough protections for renters.

The proposals we’re working on this year are a start, but clearly, more needs to be done.

If this is how they treat elected officials visiting the property, it raises serious concerns about how residents are being treated day to day.

Even more concerning: some units have gone months without working heat.

Residents are relying on space heaters, all the while still being charged for heat.

Inside, residents showed us recent work done to cover water damage.

I’m not an expert, but it was clearly poor quality. Hallway repairs looked cheap, and issues inside units were not properly addressed.

When I arrived with residents, two Alpha Capital employees told us we couldn’t stand in the lobby while waiting for the elevator.

They then said we couldn’t talk in the hallway as residents showed us their units.

Residents, many of whom are part of the Bay Point Tenants Union, shared stories of harassment and intimidation, including letters threatening eviction for communicating with other tenants.

I visited Bay Point in Niantic today after hearing from residents about conditions and treatment by Alpha Capital.

What I saw firsthand was deeply concerning. 🧵

What happens after people leave prison should matters to all of us.

Opinion: When politics becomes performance, CT governing breaks down Disagreement will always be part of democracy. But if we lose sight of the purpose behind it, to govern effectively and improve people’s lives, then we are no longer debating in good faith.

Disagreement is essential in a democracy, but only if it’s grounded in actually governing.

I wrote about that here:
www.courant.com/2026/04/08/o...

More than 10,000 veterans are now at risk of foreclosure after the sudden cancellation of a critical VA home loan assistance program. Sens. Looney, Duff, and Honig are demanding immediate action to restore these protections and keep our veterans in their homes.

Smart housing can preserve land and lower costs When towns limit housing primarily to large-lot, single-family development, growth doesn't stop. It simply spreads outward.

Pleased to have my letter on smart housing published in The Day.

We don't have to choose between growth and preservation. We just need to build smarter.

The Declaration reminds us: equality and basic rights aren’t granted by government they’re inherent. Government only has legitimacy when it protects people’s safety, liberty, and ability to thrive. And when it stops doing that, people have the right and responsibility to change it.

Minnie and I both think these are common sense… #ct #connecticut

We also advanced strong relief for renters and homeowners: a refundable renters’ credit and affordability provisions in SB 1 that expand the property tax credit and cut costs on essential items.

Practical steps toward a fairer, more affordable Connecticut.

We moved forward a new Family Caregiver Tax Credit — support for the folks caring for loved ones at home, often at great personal cost.
