- Heartbreaking: Jeremy Richman, whose daughter Avielle was killed in the Sandy Hook school shooting, found dead at the town hall in Newton. Police said it appears he committed suicide.
- The first photo is the identification card the Nazis issued to my father. The second photo is my Covid vaccination card. Please contact me if you want to discuss the difference between these two documents.
- Replying to @capitolwatchAfter his daughter's murder in 2012, Richman, a neuro-pharmacologist, and his wife, Jennifer Hensel, created a foundation dedicated to preventing violence and building compassion through brain health research, community engagement and education.
- Sigh… Once again sharing the ID card the Nazis issued to my dad after they invaded Holland, as I do every time one of those polls comes out that shows a disturbingly high percentage of Americans believe the Holocaust didn’t happen - or it’s horrors were exaggerated.
- A single sign-carrying activist stands at the main entrance to the University of Hartford, where Sen. Chris Murphy is holding a summit on gun-violence prevention. POTUS will address the group later this afternoon
- You spelled New Haven wrongChicago pizza is best pizza. I will not be taking questions at this time.
- Some ✨personal news✨I’ll be leaving The Courant later this month. I’m excited to join Route Fifty, where I’ll be covering cities and state legislatures nationally, with a focus on the fallout from the Covid crisis.
- Connecticut Secretary of the State Denise Merrill will ask Gov. Ned Lamont to use his emergency powers to eliminate restrictive language in state law and allow more people to request an absentee ballot for the state’s April 28 primary.
- Democratic Jahana Hayes says Republican congressional candidate Robert Hyde's messages to Lev Parnas are "deeply disturbing. I cannot believe this is coming from my own district. This does not represent who we are and is definitely not reflective of CT-05"
- Former UConn great and Miami Heat assistant coach Caron Butler is at the Connecticut Capitol today to advocate for an end to solitary confinement. He’s wearing a patch depicting Angela Davis on his suit coat.
- AP calls CT05 for Democratic Rep. Jahana Hayes
- My offer still stands if anyone wants to discuss how my dad’s ID card from the Nazis (stamped with a J) differs from private businesses requiring their patrons to show proof of vaccination. DMs are open if you want to chat
