🌳 Trees are more than just beautiful additions to our landscapes – they also play a critical role in combating climate change and improving air quality.

It's tax day, Connecticut, and so for April's #CompTime I went to @CTDRS to answer phones in the call center with @ExMayorMark and to see the great work Team DRS does to serve our taxpayers and process their returns (and most importantly refunds!) during the busy tax season.

What's better than one Connecticut university winning an NCAA championship this week? How about TWO Connecticut universities winning titles!
Congratulations to the Quinnipiac men's hockey team for winning the 1st national championship in program history!

Mifepristone is a safe and effective medication that has been on the market for over 20 years, and one judge’s opinion shouldn’t change that. This decision is a major blow to women’s rights — but it is not final — and it must be appealed.

CT is making sure kids in schools can breathe clean air. Clean air shouldn't be partisan, but follow the votes:
Half the funding comes from the ACA, where every Republican voted NO.
Half comes from the state, and 98% of Republicans voted NO.

It's not like Harlan Crow is some apolitical pal of Thomas.
He CONSTANTLY has cases before the court. He funds groups that argue for outcomes that benefit him.
One group, CCI, filed 8 briefs before the Court. Thomas sided with Crow in all 8 cases.

We are failing our children. Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S.
Michelle and I mourn with the students and families of the Covenant School today.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents.
The claim that guns are the leading cause of death for children would only be true if children under 1 are excluded and 18 and 19 year olds are counted as children.

I know this was not the result we were hoping for, but I want to congratulate @UConnWBB on a great season. Every time you stepped on that court you made our state proud! 💙

Princeton sociologist Matthew Desmond says if the top 1% of Americans paid the taxes they owed, it would raise $175 billion each year.
"That is just about enough to pull everyone out of poverty," the author says. n.pr/3yT1Olt

13 years ago today, President Biden was right – the Affordable Care Act is a pretty big deal.
Avon Democrats retweeted
The Affordable Care Act was signed into law 13 years ago today, lowering health care costs for millions and protecting Americans with preexisting conditions.
Since then, the Biden-Harris administration has built on the law's success, expanding access to affordable health care.

We are proud that #Connecticut is a safe space for all ❤️

The former president is fanning the flames of outrage&inciting his base. As we head into next week, let’s be guided by facts not provocative “leaks” meant only to incite controversy. I call on my Republican colleagues to condemn any possible violence, not condone&encourage it.

Let’s go!
Moving the Presidential primaries up by three weeks would mean a greater voice for CT voters. We’re supporting an early April primary.
Very rare sight: @CTDems chair @NancyDiNardoCT & @CTGOP chair @benproto59 testifying side-by-side for the same bill - to move CT's presidential primary up to the first Tuesday in April, coinciding w/neighboring NY: bit.ly/404fDtg
National parties would have to agree
