Great debate tonight! Not much substance from Lamont, but Elliott was there with more answers than I’ve ever seen in a debate before! #Vote4Josh

While Ned Lamont says Bridgeport doesn't deserve librarians, I'm fighting to fully fund every school in every zip code.

This is what I need to hear from every candidate who wants my vote.

Josh Elliott@joshforct.bsky.social · 3w ago

Connecticut continues to deal with administration-sanctioned terror unleashed on it, and now another family has been devastated. Congress must take decisive action and not just rein in ICE, but abolish it. Our message to Trump and ICE is clear – get out of our communities. Get out of our state.

Here's hoping Gov. Lamont @nedlamont.com listens to the CT Teachers Union. Can't wait to have a truly progressive governor!

Today, @neapresident.bsky.social & I sent a letter to Democratic governors urging them to reject Trump's private school voucher scheme. This program is a Trojan horse for near-universal private school vouchers, even in states where voters have already said no. www.aft.org/press-releas...

This is a bad rule change & a sign of more bad things to come for Americans with disabilities. Public K-12 schools, colleges & institutions like municipal govs. were supposed to have their digital offerings fully accessible to disabled folks by Friday. But now,... 1/2 www.npr.org/2026/04/22/n...

Trump administration delays rule aimed at improving disability access in schools

Schools, colleges and other public institutions originally had until this week to make online content accessible to people with disabilities. Now, the Justice Department has delayed that deadline.

No matter how you feel about AI, its use is growing more widespread and it's important that educators understand how they could integrate it as a tool in their classrooms. Hear from three educators who have been experimenting with AI in this American Educator article ⬇️ aft.org/ae/spring202...

The momentum to our campaign is building and we are motivated to keep pushing. The only way you beat a billionaire is by outworking him. We intend to keep doing just that. Join us and let’s make an affordable Connecticut a reality.

Lower energy costs for Connecticut families. Not a slogan, a plan. Here’s how we get there.

Here’s what’s happening right now: The DOJ is demanding voter data from states that voted against Trump. And our own governor wants to cut $1M from election security. This is exactly why I’m running. Connecticut needs a fighter.

"The abduction of Maduro was not about naming his crimes, but about ignoring them. The worst thing Maduro did is what Trump is beginning to do: killing civilians and blaming them for their own deaths. After Minneapolis, Maduro’s lies are being repeated: in American English, by American authorities."

Timothy Snyder@timothysnyder.bsky.social · 7mo ago

The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear. snyder.substack.com/p/maduro-in-...

Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago. And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

Americans & Europeans needlessly exposing African babies to preventable diseases just to see if they can find something that would justify their preexisting antivaccine beliefs is not only unscientific and actually anti-science, it is very much reminiscent of colonialist, racist human rights abuses

Ryan Marino, MD@ryanmarino.bsky.social · 8mo ago

“It is not clear what the research question is. It seems to be about the safety of the vaccine rather than its effectiveness, but both are already well-established, and to undertake such a study in a population where almost 1/5 of the adult population has a marker of infection seems extremely risky”

We’re asking lawmakers to put themselves in the shoes of working people. Imagine getting notice that your health insurance costs will more than DOUBLE. Where do you cut costs? Rent? Groceries? Child care? Congress: it’s time to put workers first and extend the ACA tax credits.

White House weighs risks of a health care fight as ACA subsidies set to expire

one of the worst days of the crumbling Trump presidency: loses In indiana, loses in Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, loses in Tish James grand jury, loses in House vote to override union busting EO, and FBI embarrassed in inability to answer basic questions about ANTIFA (which is not an organization)

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.

25 Nov 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- In unusual move, Sen Susan Collins (R-ME) signs petition for referendum on the 2026 ballot that would bar trans students from sports teams, locker-rooms and bathrooms. She's in a hotly contested election & this is pbly one way to increase Rep turnout.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency @heatmap.news

Esmeralda 7 Solar Project Has Been Canceled, BLM Says

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW). The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...

Trump’s Decapitation of CDC Takes Darker Turn—and Hands Dems a Weapon

Illinois’s J.B. Pritzker is leading a charge other Democratic governors should take up: In our America, we’ll make sure public health systems remain strong.

#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/

Every American has to decide what they are going to do now, because your government is out to kill you. Perhaps in January, this might have seemed like hyperbole, but in late August, it sounds like just another Thursday morning in the United States. 9/
