An incredible time was had at the Victory Parade for UConn Men's Basketball in the Basketball Capital of the World! 🏀🏆🐾

During the heavy rain early Friday morning, a driver attempted to enter I-91 in the wrong direction. The #CTDOT wrong way detection system activated with flashing lights, alerting the driver of their error. The motorist then stopped and turned around. This technology saves lives!

🎶 BATTLE OF THE UCONN FIGHT SONGS 🎶

What hype song do you want to hear as the Huskies are rolling through Hartford on their victory parade?

‼️ The cherry blossoms at Wooster Square are in full bloom! Head on out to New Haven on Sunday at 12PM for the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. 🌸🌸

Thanks to Mayor Elinor Carbone for suggesting that we meet today at Ambateno Bakery. Every meeting is better with some tasty pastries! Today is their one-year anniversary. Check them out if you’re in downtown Torrington and try the Ecuadorian-style hot chocolate!

This change is a result of the 2022 gun bill.

It will require nearly 25,000 currently unlicensed dealers of guns to get licensed and perform background checks.

It will save lives.

This is a coherent national policy to close a gap in our federal background check system. Universal criminal and mental health background checks has the overwhelming support of Americans. I applaud President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, and thank Chris Murphy 🟧 for his advocacy. politico.com/news/2024/04/1…

Nice catch!
