The Trump administration has singled out the Connecticut towns of Greenwich and Waterford for “wasteful” uses of federal funding, for things such as theater projects, in its latest budget proposal.

U.S. Rep. John Larson announced Tuesday he has introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, following his escalating threats to end “a whole civilization” if Iran doesn’t comply with a deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

To a certain degree, U.S. Rep. Jim Himes is prepared for pushback over a controversial surveillance law whenever it comes up for a reauthorization vote. But the warrantless surveillance program is getting outsized attention this time around, even in Himes’ district in the southwestern corner of Connecticut.

Months after a record-long government shutdown that upended nutrition assistance, Connecticut Foodshare is once again providing groceries to TSA agents who are working without pay during the latest funding lapse for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy is the latest Senate Democrat to force a vote on a measure to rein in war with Iran. Even though the Senate once again blocked the resolution Tuesday evening, the effort is part of a broader strategy to push Congress to address the conflict in the absence of public hearings.

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal pressed Markwayne Mullin, the nominee to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, on Wednesday over whether federal agents will be instructed to enter private homes and businesses without a judicial warrant. The Connecticut Democrat said he won’t support Mullin's nomination, arguing there was an overall “failure to break with the past and commit to reform.”

As congressional Democrats tackle potential fraud in prediction markets, U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., is seeking to crack down on wagers made on government actions and events where someone controls or knows the outcome in advance.

The bipartisan legislation aims to boost the supply of housing and create more affordable options. But the bill, which seeks to address a pressing cost-of-living issue for Americans, faces challenges ahead.

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal is the latest federal lawmaker wading into the regulation of prediction markets, proposing legislation that aims to mitigate fraud, prevent underage usage and bar individuals from using nonpublic information in wagering.

Connecticut’s federal lawmakers say they fear an “open-ended” war with the potential for U.S. ground troops in Iran after receiving briefings from officials.
