& I have long questioned the capabilities of Tesla’s autopilot system. NHTSA must leave no stone unturned as it continues to investigate this flawed feature.
Last month,
@SenBlumenthal
and I sent a letter to NHTSA sounding the alarm that Tesla was endangering the public with its so-called Autopilot and Full Self-Drive systems. We are glad to see both
@NHTSAgov
and
@TheJusticeDept
getting tough on Tesla over these dangers.
Thank you to students at Middletown High School for sharing your experiences with social media. During our thoughtful & insightful conversation, we talked about the Kids Online Safety Act, which would give young people the tools & safeguards to take back their online lives.
FAA opening another investigation into Boeing is deeply troubling. This news appears to part of the same pattern of disregard for safety. The FAA must get to the bottom of this cavernous deficit in quality control that lets planes leave w/o key inspections.
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the 6 million Jews & countless others murdered by the Nazis. Today serves as a powerful reminder to reject hatred & bigotry in all its forms & uphold our promise of “Never Again.”
Inspiring Commencement at University of Bridgeport—with 50-year alumni (Golden Knights) joining proud parents & loved ones & joyous graduates at Saturday’s celebration. Wonderful to wish them well!
Wonderful visit with Johnnie Mae Britt, still a hero & legend in the Stamford community, always fighting for justice & giving to others. She spearheaded civil rights through the NAACP & other organizations.
The Captive Primate Safety Act protects both primates & people. Wild animals belong in the wild, not shackled & mistreated in a backyard. This measure is about safety, but also basic humane behavior—ending exploitation of these highly intelligent animals.
Proud to participate in Efficiency for All’s MPower program graduation. With the support of American Rescue Plan funding, this class of stellar students is entering the workforce equipped with the skills to get good paying jobs & help our communities become more energy efficient.
Remembering workers lost because of safety lapses—the AFL-CIO Workers Memorial Day ceremony was a powerful call to action in Hartford. Thank you to unions fighting for workers safety & employers who do the right thing.
Friends of Gavin Anderson & family joined in droves to support building a special addition to his East Windsor home & make it more accessible. Thank you to all the volunteers—especially firefighters, police & others who made it happen.
Branford celebrates Joe Mooney—a wonderful well deserved tribute at Connecticut Hospice, where his contributions have been monumental. His public service to Branford & CT has been boundless.
Beautiful new homes for two families in Bridgeport thanks to Habitat for Humanity. Very exciting & inspiring to see the American Dream come true for them.
Grand Opening of this beautiful Jamaican restaurant—Harvey’s Kitchen—is a great boon for the Bridgeport community, & all CT. It will provide fantastic food, new jobs, & neighborhood revitalization.
