In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Scammers have always been a contemptible part of our financial reality, but AI-powered voice cloning and deepfakes have turbo-charged the tools they have at their disposal to swindle Americans – especially seniors – out of their hard-earned money.”
“ICE's detention of parents as they drop their children off at school or head to work is plainly and flatly despicable. It has nothing to do with public safety — it's cruelty for cruelty's sake. We cannot accept these shock tactics as normal. I'll keep fighting to hold ICE and this Administration accountable and support the immigrant communities here in Connecticut and across the country.”
“Remote work has become a mainstay of the modern American economy and yet state tax rules have yet to catch up to our new reality. Providing a uniform federal standard for taxing remote workers is a commonsense proposal that would ensure Connecticut teleworkers can continue to contribute to our national economy without being unfairly subjected to double taxation. For the millions of Americans who earn their livings from their home offices, let's right this wrong once and for all.”
