Elon Musk called Social Security a Ponzi scheme and Donald Trump called it a scam. Make no mistake - they want to slash & privatize Americans' benefits.
My resolution compels them to provide answers, but Republicans are trying to stop it from even coming to a vote in the House.
During Open Enrollment, Medicare beneficiaries can review their current plan and make changes to their coverage now through December 7th. Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, no seniors will pay more than $2,000 in out-of-pocket drug costs.

President Trump has repeatedly shown us that he is unwilling to stand up to Vladimir Putin. The United States Congress cannot allow him to abandon the Ukrainian people.
Every Republican should join with Democrats to demand the President enforce the sanctions he signed into law.
Millions of Americans struggle to put food on the table, but Trump and Republicans in Congress cut SNAP nutrition benefits and defunded food pantries to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
On #WorldFoodDay, I'm working to reverse those cuts and ensure no one goes hungry.
Instead of putting an end to his illegal Iran war, Trump thinks buying diesel from Putin will bring down prices.
Don't be fooled. This won't do anything to lower costs. It will only put American dollars in the hands of a vicious regime that will use the funds to kill Ukrainians.
Inflation is soaring. The average family has been forced to spend $4,200 thanks to President Trump. His tariffs are driving up grocery bills. His illegal war is hiking costs at the gas pump.
Democrats are fighting to stop his failed agenda and make life more affordable for you.

Donald Trump promised to bring down prices on Day One. Gas has been over $4/gallon for 158 days, a new record.
The President might not care, but families struggling to make ends meet sure do. Congress needs to end his illegal war in Iran and suspend the gas tax NOW.
A COLA is always welcome news for seniors, but it won't be enough to keep pace with rising costs. While Republicans scheme to slash and privatize Social Security, Democrats have a plan to enhance benefits by making the wealthy pay their fair share. It's time for Congress to act.
With oil prices on the rise, more and more families are struggling to afford their utility bills. We’re proud to announce $75.3 million in federal funding to help Connecticut residents heat their homes. Learn more about eligibility and apply for aid at CT.gov/heatinghelp.
Italian Americans have made lasting contributions in Connecticut’s First District and across the country. This month, we celebrate their unique heritage, stories, and traditions which continue to enrich our communities.
Donald Trump and his cronies would rather sow debunked lies about voting than defend their failed agenda.
Local elections officials in East Hartford and across the state are some of the best in the country, operating with the utmost integrity and ethics. ctinsider.com/politics/artic…
Donald Trump has targeted Rep. Ilhan Omar with inflammatory and racist rhetoric for years, now sending federal agents from his weaponized DOJ to raid her home.
No president should abuse their power to threaten or intimidate their political opponents. I stand with @Ilhan.
On Indigenous Peoples' Day, we honor the enduring cultures of Native peoples and the lasting contributions they have made, and continue to make, in Connecticut and across the country.
Taking care of your mental health should never be something to hide or feel ashamed of. This World Mental Health Day, we're working to end the stigma and expand access to support and care for all. You are not alone, and there is always hope.
Pete Hegseth put our troops in danger by leaking classified information and he's overseeing an illegal war in Iran that has cost lives. Now, he wants to stage an unprecedented public execution, exposing it to American families and children.
Secretary Hegseth should be impeached.
Even after the Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump’s illegal power grab at the Fed, he's still targeting Lisa Cook.
As Americans struggle to make ends meet, he should focus on ending his costly tariffs and reckless war in Iran, not petty score-settling. nytimes.com/2026/10/09/busin…
Connecticut continues to lead the nation as a hub for clean hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.
As we recognize National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day, we must continue to build on the progress we've made to boost clean energy production, lower fuel costs, and reduce emissions.
President Trump's tariffs are driving up costs everywhere you look.
A new report found that without these tariffs, prices would have gone down.
While Republicans rubber-stamp the failed Trump agenda, Democrats want to end these tariffs and make life more affordable for you.
After severe flooding hit our state last month, this disaster declaration from @SBAgov is a crucial step forward for residents to get the help they need to recover.
We'll keep working to deliver federal relief to the communities impacted by this storm.
We've secured a disaster declaration from @SBAgov in response to the flash flooding event that impacted our state on September 13.
This declaration means that homeowners, renters, businesses, and nonprofits in Fairfield, New Haven, and Litchfield Counties may be eligible for low-interest loans from the SBA to aid in their recovery from this storm.
I encourage anyone who was impacted to look into this assistance and determine whether it can help you in the recovery process.
As inflation and unemployment continue to rise, President Trump is more focused on his illegal war and taxpayer-funded vanity projects.
Congress needs to act. It's time to cancel his costly tariffs, reverse his healthcare cuts, and end the war in Iran. usatoday.com/story/money/eco…
