This is now the third consecutive decision this month alone where PURA has inexplicably reversed itself and caved to utility demands.
Connecticut families cannot afford another multi-million-dollar utility rate hike. I'm going to keep fighting at every single step of these proceedings.
We’re suing the Trump Admin for its rushed demand that colleges turn over student data that could invade privacy and trigger baseless investigations. This is more of Trump and Linda McMahon's scorched earth crusade to give kids with backgrounds they like an advantage in elite college admissions.
Congratulations to Sean Kehoe, Rosemarie Weber, Phil Miller, Pat Ring, and Nisa Khan of the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General on their nominations to the state Superior Court.
All of the nominees are exceptional public servants who will be strong additions to the bench.
In 2024, a group of state AGs joined the DOJ to sue Live Nation for monopolizing the market for ticketing and using that power to reinforce and protect that monopoly. The recent settlement doesn’t do enough. We’re willing and able to stand with other states to continue litigating without the fed gov
Again, what the hell. PURA caved. We need to understand exactly what happened here.
Earlier this week, I stood with a bipartisan group of leaders urging PURA to reject this deal. We said this would be an economic disaster for CT families. Your bills are going to go up to pay for this boondoggle.
The Supreme Court already made it clear Trump didn't have the authority to impose the first round of tariffs. Now, the administration is trying again under a different statute that doesn't apply. We're suing him again.
Thanks to Squawk Box and Becky Quick, Andrew Ross Sorkin and Joe Kernan for having me on this morning to discuss our lawsuit against President Trump to stop him from punishing us again with unlawful and unconstitutional tariffs
We beat Trump on tariffs in the Court of International Trade, the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court. Now, we're back in court defending families and businesses from another round of lawless Trump taxes. He needs to stop this trade war. We can't afford to keep bankrolling stupidity.
Another lawsuit. Another win.
A federal court has dismissed a challenge to Connecticut's common sense gun safety laws, reaffirming they are lawful, necessary, and lite saving.
An important conversation in Naugatuck about the growing dangers of youth vaping and illicit cannabis sales. These unregulated products are often marketed to kids and sold outside Connecticut's legal system. We need stronger enforcement and smarter policies to keep our communities safe.
Today, I stood alongside bipartisan leaders from towns across Connecticut to send a clear message: PURA needs to stand by its original decision and oppose the proposed sale of Aquarion.
Families in our state cannot afford another unjustified and unaffordable rate increase.
Connecticut families cannot afford higher bills. PURA's decision puts corporate profits ahead of ratepayers.
We'll keep fighting in every single proceeding before PURA to ensure Connecticut families do not pay a penny more than absolutely necessary.
A federal court has dismissed a challenge to CT’s gun safety laws, including our open carry ban and limit on handgun purchases.
This ruling confirms what we've long said, these commonsense protections are lawful, necessary, and lifesaving.We will continue to defend our laws against baseless attacks.
What the hell. PURA got this dead wrong.
This decision delivers $68 million more in profits and hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonus pay for corporate executives. CT families and businesses cannot afford the bills they get now, and they cannot afford this increase.
We're going to keep fighting.
Consumer Council Coleman and I applaud PURA’s approval the jointly filed agreement in Charter’s acquisition of Cox Communications’ Connecticut operations. We secured and PURA has now approved a series of commitments to ensure Connecticut consumers, workers and communities remain a priority.
I joined Public Policy and Law students at Trinity College for a discussion on gun regulation in Connecticut since New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen.
I appreciated the sharp questions and the opportunity to talk about how we defend Connecticut's strong gun safety laws.
Joined AFSCME Council 4 for this year’s Black history celebration and had great conversations about how we can erase racism and stand up for our immigrant communities.
A reminder that solidarity matters and we are the strongest when we protect and look out for one another.

Coalition of Connecticut.
For nearly two decades, APAC has worked to uplift and support CT’s Asian Pacific American community.
Tong Tasting breakfast in Shelton at Scooter's Deli Mart. Thanks so much to the Uysal family, and their son John, for hosting us at their wonderful small business. Had a best-ever bacon egg and cheese on a roll with tomato and Turkish specialities with officers from the Shelton PD.
Stopped by Bridgeport's first ever Ramadan Night Market.
A great way to bring the community together and highlight local businesses.
Events like this reflect the diversity and vibrancy that make Connecticut stronger.
It runs through Sunday at The Arcade Mall.
Today we filed a brief at the U.S. Supreme Court to defend birthright citizenship and stand up to President Trump's illegal effort to rewrite the Constitution.

Property Holdings to pay up to $5.1 million in financial relief to residents of Concierge Apartments following our investigation into unsafe and unlivable conditions.

Those who believe they've been harmed by the use of Al may file a complaint at www.ct.gov/agcomplaint.
Today, we joined 15 states suing to block the Trump Admin’s unlawful overhaul of the childhood immunization schedule.

Tong Tasting Blizzard edition. Mrs. Tong and I are trapped in even more snow, so she went Olympian with chicken thighs roasted with artichokes, lemon and feta PLUS home made ravioli PLUS sautéed oyster mushrooms. Gold.
A massive defeat for Donald Trump and a major win for families and workers.
Connecticut and ten other states stood up to the President and sued. We won in the Court of International trade, Court of Appeals, and now in the Supreme Court.
Mr. President, what's your plan now to give us our money back?
Rest in peace, Carolyn Vermont.
She was a beautiful soul and a true champion for Bridgeport and the state of Connecticut.
She dedicated her life to making our streets safer and our communities stronger.
Her legacy of love and service will live on.
I submitted testimony supporting legislation aimed at increasing transparency in entertainment ticket pricing, setting parameters around speculative ticket sales, and increasing accountability for deceptive internet websites posing as an event venue.
Today I joined a coalition of 13 attorneys general to sue the Trump Admin for illegally terminating funding for critical energy and infrastructure programs. Trump doesn't get to ignore the law to pad Big Oil's profits. We're taking him to court.
Today, I co-led a coalition of 20 attorneys general to oppose extreme federal rules designed to block transgender youth from receiving essential healthcare.
These are extreme measures rooted in a hate-filled political agenda that would decimate our healthcare system.
