President Zelenskyy made it clear during our call yesterday—Ukraine wants peace. Continued support from the United States is desperately needed to aid the brave Ukrainians fighting against Putin's bloodthirsty, murderous invasion. I joined @CNN to discuss.
Without vital air defense interceptors, innocent Ukrainian civilians will suffer spiraling death & destruction from Putin’s bombing. Hegseth & Trump bear blame for their blood. Their complicity & cruelty stain America’s moral standing & national security. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Unquestionably, we stand with Ukraine against Russia’s murderous invasion. Ukraine wants peace & is ready to negotiate—appeasement won't work with Putin, a thug who understands only strength & force. 4 nytimes.com/2026/10/19/world…

Republicans must join us in fighting Trump’s abject betrayal of trust & our national security, or they will be complicit in Putin’s slaughter. Inaction is unacceptable. It is a moral moment.nytimes.com/2026/10/15/busin…

Great visit with the CT State Building Trades Council at their annual convention—representing the lifeblood of our economy. Grateful for the critical work you do, creating training & readiness programs crucial to workforce development & advocating for workers across the state.
Trump is carrying out a pressure campaign of coercion against Ukraine—in effect aiding Putin. I joined @NewsCentralCNN to discuss my letter calling for Trump to rescind his diesel deal & to urge continued support for Ukraine in its fight against Putin's invasion.
