Trump’s rolling back gun violence protections will cause needless bloodshed & cost lives. I’ll fight his retreat on regulations. Republicans failing to join us are complicit. nytimes.com/2026/07/05/us/po…

In Guilford, reading the Declaration of Independence marked a 250th celebration, followed by music & food. A great time, before a classic New England summer rainstorm.

Trump bears clear blame for epic loss & ruin caused by his corrupt crypto scheme—nearly $4 billion to about a million investors—while he reaped $1.4 billion.

On America’s 250th, I remember Justice Thurgood Marshall’s Bicentennial reminder that the Constitution is not “fixed in meaning” but rather “a living document.” Honoring our Founders, we should honor also all who have expanded liberty, justice & equality. Our work continues.

Met Seyo & his two sons at his restaurant with Rep. Larson. A great family & successful business owner. While Seyo is grateful for our help in getting him home, ICE should never have disrupted this family’s lives just to meet some arbitrary quota. It is cruel & heartless.

Seyo’s release is a magnificent start to the July 4th celebration. So proud of all the community who rallied around Seyo as Congressman Larson & I fought for his release. Our letters, protests, & work behind the scenes vindicated his cause.

The O’Neill is a treasure—a cultural gem that drives economic as well as artistic development. But its 19th century buildings need upgrades. I’m proud to stand with dedicated staff, trustees & others to announce a $1.6 million federal grant.

In June 2020, a driver tragically struck & killed 10-year-old Tristan as he was crossing the street after buying a popsicle from an ice cream truck. We can save lives by passing Tristan’s law—making sure ice cream trucks have warning signals, stop signs & other safety precautions.

Sadistic slaughter is Putin’s specialty. Homes, hospitals, schools, churches & shelters—not military facilities—are his favorite targets. Ukrainians need air defense aid—Patriot system interceptors & more. Simple humanity demands we help.

Putin’s murderous meat grinder stalls on the ground—so his desperation drives an intensifying reign of terror from the skies. I witnessed the heartbreaking destruction on my recent 10th trip.
