Lawmakers play kickball to benefit CT Foodshare
HARTFORD Conn. (WTNH) — State lawmakers were battling it out in Hartford on Monday evening, but this time it was not over policy.
Monday was the Fourth Annual Bipartisan Kickball game between the Democrats and Republicans at Dunkin' Park.
USDA funding cuts have harsh impact on Connecticut food pantries
Instead of the high-stakes fights during the legislative session, the lawmakers come together on the field for some good-natured competition, which benefits Connecticut Foodshare.
Connecticut Foodshare President and CEO Jason Jakubowski noted that for every dollar raised for Connecticut Foodshare, they can provide two meals in the state.
'The more important thing though, we get it, it's 2025,' Jakubowski said. 'Democrats and Republicans don't agree on a whole heck of a lot. But here they are together trying to help solve hunger in the state of Connecticut. We really appreciate it and it has been a good game so far.'

Democrats blast Trump's decision to send National Guard to Los Angeles: ‘They want a spectacle'
Several Democrats on Sunday criticized President Trump for ordering thousands of National Guard troops to the Los Angeles area in response to immigration protests over the past two days. Trump has ordered 2,000 troops to assist immigration agents in quelling the protests in L.A., where demonstrators are rallying against federal immigration raids. Troops began arriving in L.A. on Sunday morning. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Saturday said the move is a result of 'violent mobs' attacking 'Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations' in recent days. Trump said California Democrats Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass were to blame for the unrest that began as a result of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. Newsom responded to Trump's order by calling it 'purposefully inflammatory' and stating that 'there is currently no unmet need.' 'If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can't do their jobs, which everyone knows they can't, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!' Trump wrote in a Saturday Truth Social post. On Sunday morning, Newsom, in a post on the social platform X, claimed the federal government is 'taking over the California National Guard' because 'they want a spectacle.' 'Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully,' he added. In a separate post, Newsom reiterated his call for demonstrators to stay peaceful, claiming that Trump is 'hoping for chaos so he can justify more crackdowns, more fear, more control.' He also slammed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's threat to deploy active-duty Marines into LA, calling it 'deranged behavior.' Bass, in a Saturday night interview, said deploying the National Guard was 'completely unnecessary' and that it would only escalate tensions. 'My conversations with the administration today have been to assure them that if there are protests that break out and if there is violence associated with those protests, that the Los Angeles Police Department is well equipped to handle that,' she said. 'Two thousand officers, 2,000 in our city will not be a positive thing and will not be helpful.' Both Newsom and Bass also called out Trump for thanking National Guard troops on Sunday morning before they had arrived in LA. Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-Calif.) on Sunday echoed Bass in that the troops in the LA area are 'going to escalate the situation.' 'It's a concern,' Barragán told CNN's Dana Bash on 'State of the Union.' 'I mean, it's going to escalate the situation. People are going to protest because they're angry about the situation, and we have to just reiterate to people to do it peacefully.' Democrats outside of California have also pushed back on the Trump administration over its handling of the immigration protests. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday went after Trump over the deployment of 2,000 National Guard members to the Los Angeles area, saying the president 'thinks he has a right to do anything.' 'He does not believe in the Constitution; he does not believe in the rule of law,' Sanders told Bash of Trump on 'State of the Union.' Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) slammed Trump's response to the protests as 'hypocritical at best' compared to how he responded to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. 'Since years before I was born, law enforcement knows it's good when there's cooperation and coordination,' Booker said. 'For the president to do this when it wasn't requested, breaking with generations of tradition, is only going to incite the situation and make things worse.' He compared Trump's reaction to the LA protests to his response to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. 'We are now at a point where we have a president who sat back and did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, viciously beat police,' he continued. 'And then when those people who viciously beat police and led to some of their deaths, therefore, cop killers, were convicted by juries, he then pardoned them all.' Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on X claimed Trump was not trying to 'heal or keep the peace.' 'He is looking to inflame and divide. His movement doesn't believe in democracy or protest – and if they get a chance to end the rule of law they will take it. None of this is on the level,' he added. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Once champions of fringe causes, now in a ‘trap of their own making'
Investigations into Epstein's 2019 death in a Manhattan prison cell found serious management errors but no evidence of criminality. Yet Trump, once a friend of the financier accused of sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls, has long suggested Epstein was silenced by shadowy clients of his sex trafficking ring. In a 2023 episode of his popular podcast, Bongino, now the bureau's No. 2 official, implored listeners, 'Please do not let that story go.' Advertisement They obliged. A Trump-allied podcaster suggested the FBI leaders were 'beholden to some unseen powers.' A former FBI agent who has been critical of the bureau posted a parody of a law firm ad with Bongino standing next to a sign that read 'Trust Me & Bro Consulting.' Tucker Carlson, a friend of Bongino's, said Trump appointees were 'making a huge mistake, promising to reveal things and then not revealing them.' Alex Jones, a founding father of the modern conspiracy movement, referred to Patel's own handling of the Epstein case as flat-out 'gaslighting.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Patel and Bongino, partisan showmen placed in positions previously held by people with greater experience, earned their bona fides in Trump's camp by promoting conspiracy theories, making promises of what they would accomplish under Trump when he returned to power based on fictional or exaggerated premises, pledging to reveal deep-state secrets, and vowing swift vengeance on their enemies. Advertisement It has now fallen on Patel, Bongino, and Attorney General Pam Bondi to make good on the promises explicit and implied — or show how hard they are trying. But they are running what amounts to a conspiracy theory fulfillment center with unstocked shelves, critics say. 'Patel, Bongino, and the other leaders are caught in a trap of their own making,' said Russell Muirhead, a politics professor at Dartmouth College who has studied the role of conspiracy theories in American politics. 'The world they helped create, a world in which conspiracy destroys facts, is now the world they have to inhabit,' he added. Trump himself campaigned on the spurious idea that immigrant criminals had invaded the United States like a foreign army, but when courts began to reject that notion in a series of deportation cases centered on those his administration claimed had criminal records, his supporters blamed the judges, not him. He has flirted so often with the QAnon conspiracy theory, which falsely holds that prominent Democrats like Hillary Clinton are dangerous pedophiles, many followers still cannot fathom why Clinton and other plotters are not in prison. One former Republican congressional staff member with ties to the White House, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of being targeted, said that the president's courting of far-right conspiracists had stoked expectations, creating a never-ending cycle of demands. The person likened it to feeding red meat to insatiable sharks. Or zombies. Bondi learned that the hard way during her first weeks in office, when she promised new revelations about the Epstein case and faced a furious backlash when the materials she released were a dud. Anxious about any criticism that could erode her standing with Trump, she dispatched FBI agents and prosecutors from the Justice Department's national security division to scour the archives, officials familiar with the situation said. They found little but are still digging, according to Bongino. Advertisement Patel and other officials have claimed that releasing new material is difficult, and governed by the need to protect witnesses and Epstein's victims. Billionaire Elon Musk suggested another explanation in the wake of his falling-out with the president: Trump 'is in the Epstein files,' he wrote on social media Thursday, without providing evidence. 'That is why they have not been made public.' Spokespeople for the Justice Department and FBI did not return requests for comment. Patel and Bongino have limited their interactions to friendly podcasters or conservative outlets, claiming that the mainstream news media cannot be trusted to convey the truth. But those engagements also reflect an understanding that sustaining support on the right is essential for their survival, according to administration officials. 'I've been putting out the truth my entire career,' Patel told Joe Rogan, the popular podcaster who endorsed Trump, to explain his comments about the Epstein case. 'Why would I risk all of it on this guy?' But many people, including Jones, were not buying it. 'Damage control,' he growled on his show. The tension between practicing politics based on conspiracy theories and having to govern extends far beyond the FBI and the Justice Department's problems with the Epstein case. And those elevated to power by Trump know that the No. 1 rule is that he is never wrong and that their role is to absorb the criticism that cannot be aimed at him. Advertisement Days after the backlash over his Epstein comments, Bongino offered other promises — new investigations into other episodes that have gripped the president's base: the discovery of cocaine in the West Wing during the Biden administration, the leak of the draft Supreme Court opinion overturning abortion rights in 2022, and the discovery of pipe bombs near Republican and Democratic Party headquarters before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, an unsolved crime that has already consumed significant law enforcement resources. During another appearance on Fox, Bongino said the bureau was 'closing in on some suspects' in the planting of the bombs, while claiming that 'no one seemed to show any interest in this case.' In fact, investigators had conducted around 1,000 interviews, reviewed video evidence, and chased hundreds of tips before he arrived. Trump, far from distancing himself from fringe actors in his party after retaking office, has drawn them closer. Laura Loomer, who has baselessly claimed that the Sept. 11 attacks were 'an inside job' and suggested school shootings were a ruse, has become a regular visitor to the White House with outsize influence on personnel matters. Whether by design or happenstance, Bongino, a former midlevel Secret Service agent and New York City police officer, has emerged as the bureau's principal public defender, in addition to his official role running the bureau's day-to-day operations. The strain seems to be taking its toll. 'I gave up everything for this,' he lamented in another one of his Fox appearances. 'I stare at these four walls all day in D.C., by myself.'

Booker won't accept money from Elon Musk for campaign, but urges him to 'sound the alarm' on Trump-backed bill
Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., told NBC News on Sunday that he wouldn't accept money from Elon Musk for his re-election campaign, but urged the former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) official to "sound the alarm" on the "big, beautiful bill" endorsed by President Donald Trump. "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker asked Booker on Sunday if he would accept money from Musk after the billionaire and the president traded barbs. "I will partner with anyone like I did in the last Congress, putting my vote alongside of John McCain's, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins to stop the tearing down of the Affordable Care Act. This is not about right or left. It's about right or wrong. And this bill is disastrous for the average American, driving up this cost. This bill is disastrous for our long-term economy. This is an American issue, and I welcome Elon Musk, not to my campaign, I welcome him right now, not to sit back and fire off tweets, to get involved right now in a more substantive way, in putting pressure on Congresspeople and senators to not do this," Booker said. Timeline: Inside The Evolving Relationship Between Trump And Musk From First Term To This Week's Fallout Welker asked Booker again if he would accept money from Musk. "I would not accept money from Elon Musk for my campaign, but I would be supportive of anybody, including Elon Musk, putting resources forward right now to let more Americans know, sound the alarm, treat this like a Paul Revere moment. More Americans have to understand that if this bill passes, average Americans are going to see their costs skyrocket, as this president, again, pushes legislation that is indicative of his chaos, corruption and cruelty towards Americans," Booker said. Read On The Fox News App Musk criticized the Trump-backed bill as a "disgusting abomination." "This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," Musk said in a post on X. "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it." Gop Senators Express 'Concerns,' 'Skepticism' Over Trump's Spending Bill After Musk Rant Welker also pressed Booker on the state of the Democratic Party, asking the liberal senator about former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's decision to register as an Independent, which she announced along with a new book about her time in the White House. "Do you think Democrats have to distance themselves from the party brand in order to win?" Welker asked, noting some of New Jersey's gubernatorial candidates have also been critical of the party, ahead of the primary election on Tuesday.

There's a trust problem for Republicans and Democrats. Most Americans voted against both of the presidential candidates in the last election.
