Spent some time this afternoon at the iconic Goshen Fair. So many amazing community volunteers work hard to put on this annual event. So many family memories made here each year.

It's insane. It's dangerous. It's intentional. The degree to which he is willing to lie through his teeth - specifically to bully and marginalize gay kids - is abhorrent and not accidental. He lives off fear. It's his oxygen.

I will be on All In with Chris Hayes on MSNBC shortly after 8pm to talk about how Democrats are going on the offense this fall on immigration and the border.

It's happening. Since Republicans killed the bipartisan border security bill - and since Democrats started confidently talking about it - Kamala Harris has cut Trump's lead on the issue of immigration IN HALF.

Last week I had FEMA Administrator Criswell Deanne Criswell to the office to go over the response to the recent Connecticut floods. I pressed her that we needed assistance for towns, businesses, and individuals to be approved as quickly as possible.

To the UNITE HERE strikers in Greenwich, my message is simple: we stand with you. Everyone deserves a good-paying job that treats them with dignity and respect. I’ll keep doing what I can to help you in the fight.

This is what many of said would happen. If we told the truth, over and over - that Trump killed the bipartisan border bill because he actually wants the border to be a mess - his advantage on the issue of immigration would disappear.

We called his bluff. We negotiated a tough, bipartisan border bill. And Trump killed it, because he doesn't really want to fix the border. The American people saw his real agenda, and their opinion is changing.

Chat GPT is a genius work of cultural criticism. It throws in our faces: why do we have so many jobs and school assignments that *can* be done by a non-thinking probability machine? Why do our students (even the ones paying a jillion dollars!) *want* to skip their lessons?

Our hearts are breaking. Again.

This is the main thing. Trump wants power only to give his billionaire and corporate friends more of your money. That's the whole grift.

I am about to talk to Morning Joe about the awful shooting in Georgia and why we don’t need to accept this dystopian reality for our kids.

Love isn't prevailing if we keep handing weapons of war to assassins. if we CHOOSE to make our schools killing fields. if we keep electing leaders who care so much about gun industry profits that the only option they give kids is to run for their lives and hope for the best.

This election is a choice. Kamala Harris - who says she will take these assault weapons off our streets and make our kids' safety a priority. Or Donald Trump - who will help the mass murderers by caring only about gun industry profits.

As parents, we don't need to choose this reality for our children. Where they run for their lives as assassins hunt them in school hallways. We can choose a different reality. This November.

A big day - decades in the making. We broke ground today on the new Amtrak bridge over the Connecticut River. Replacing a 120 year old relic. This project would never have been possible if not for the Biden-Harris bipartisan infrastructure bill.

If you were impacted by the Connecticut floods and need help, come down the Naugatuck YMCA today from 2-7pm. The ⁦American Red Cross⁩ is here with partners to help people in need.

Just left a moving evening at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport. Our state’s annual 9/11 remembrance ceremony.
