Buffalo shooter didn’t act alone. He was delivered there in a big white limousine driven by Tucker Carlson, Lauren Bobert, Donald Trump and FOX News…

Let’s not mince words: the manifesto written by the Buffalo killer is directly influenced by the racist and extremist talking points espoused by Fox News and the Republican Party.

You know what’s cool about this? We did it WHILE paying down Rowland/Rell’s pension debt. @GovNedLamont
What we've done with our budget, including these tax cuts, is a way of telling the people of Connecticut, "We get it. We've got your back."
It’s a tough time with inflation, and we’re doing everything we can to make our state more affordable.

I intend to drink a healthy amount of tequila tonight. I won’t be driving anywhere, and I’m not responsible for anything I tweet.
It’s been a really long week. Rescued two souls from the MAGA cult, but struck out with so, so many more.
Just wanted you to know.

I'm no linguist, but Bob's statements, focused on only what HE Himself might, or might not, initiate re abortion (without detailing what else he might potentially approve, veto, on a federal level for the state), seems like a loophole big enough to drive a train through...
At a time when the right to access #abortion is being disintegrated, CT needs leaders who are unequivocal. @bobforgovernor’s pandering to the anti-choice movement will lead CT down a dangerous path. @NedLamont will continue CT’s lead on choice. ctmirror.org/2022/05/12/anti… #RoeVWade

calm down, Trump can't win.
calm down, Trump will grow in office.
calm down, Ivanka will be a moderating influence.
calm down, Mueller will get Trump.
calm down, John Roberts cares about his legacy.
calm down, Roe is settled law.
I'm so fucking tired of being told to calm down

Y'all forced-birth states are ready to manage all the new teen moms, right? Kicked out of their home, unwed, had to drop out of school, can't get childcare so can't work anywhere? I'm sure you have a plan for this, yes?

Today, @GovNedLamont signed the Reproductive Freedom Defense Act into law. In CT, we will continue to fight to ensure that abortion access isn’t dependent on income, race, or area code. #abortionishealthcare #roevwade

We need to get away from the idea that every kid has to go to college. Normalize treating trade school as important as a 4-year degree.
