Would you vote to stop this? 🧊 CT Senate Republicans didn't.
ooooh listen to this:
According to a new WalletHub study, CT ranks #3 in the nation for working from home.
CT placed 1st in cost of internet and 2nd in access.
Can you guess what states ranked 1st & 2nd?
Trump canceled $11M meant to house migrant children — because the Catholic Church dared to disagree with him. CT Senate Democrats are calling it what it is: political retaliation against a faith community. An attack on one religion is an attack on all. https://bit.ly/4tlpQjl
Promises made, promises kept. Protecting you from ICE.

More than 4,000 illegal detentions in five months.
CT Republicans calling them “one-off circumstances” isn’t reality. It’s denial.
Sens. Looney & Duff welcomed Gov. Lamont's establishment of the Blue-Ribbon Commission on K-12 Education Funding & Accountability. They also reaffirmed their commitment to delivering meaningful short-term relief through SB 7, that will strengthen education funding!
Happy Thursday! who wants a Wednesday session recap? 🙋🏻♀️
Today is tax day.
Your federal taxes went up by a lot from the illegal tariffs, to the tax cuts for billionaires, cuts to health care, food, and education.
@ctsenatedems.bsky.social and CT House Dems are working to cut taxes for individuals, families, seniors, and small businesses.
Tax Day should serve as a reminder: Trump’s MAGA allies in the Connecticut legislature have been silent while working families pay more. Gas, groceries, and everyday essentials are through the roof, and they have nothing to say.
While working families feel the squeeze, Donald Trump and Republicans are giving massive breaks to billionaires.
📈 Tariffs = the largest tax hike since 1993
💸 Families paid $1,600 more last year

A lil celebratory smile from Sen. Gaston.
