º£½Ç»»ÆÞ

º£½Ç»»ÆÞ was one of only three states to learn last month its federal grant for public libraries was terminated midyear. But this week, the federal agency overseeing those funds reversed the decision and reinstated the º£½Ç»»ÆÞ State Library’s grant.

º£½Ç»»ÆÞ libraries and museums are facing funding cuts from the Institute of Museums and Library Services, part of a larger effort driven by the Trump administration and its Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, to curtail government spending.

The º£½Ç»»ÆÞ Democrat said the Congress he serves in now is almost unrecognizable from the one he first joined nearly two decades ago.

The º£½Ç»»ÆÞ congressman, the top Democrat on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, faced Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, FBI Director Kash Patel and others just a few days after The Atlantic published an account of a text chat among top officials who were discussing an imminent attack on Houthi targets in Yemen.

Thousands of retirees in º£½Ç»»ÆÞ should start seeing an increase in their monthly Social Security checks next month, with the implementation of a new law to address the way payments were calculated for certain public service workers.

While º£½Ç»»ÆÞ does not get as much federal funding as some others, towns and cities with higher concentrations of low-income students rely more heavily on those grants. Cities like Waterbury, Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport would be disproportionately affected by a slowdown or reduction to Title I funds.

º£½Ç»»ÆÞ lawmakers invited guests and are using their stories to make a larger point about what President Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency means for º£½Ç»»ÆÞ.

Linda McMahon, a former Senate candidate from º£½Ç»»ÆÞ and GOP megadonor, will take the helm of the U.S. Department of Education at a pivotal time for the agency following her confirmation on Monday night.

º£½Ç»»ÆÞ's congressional delegation, all of whom are Democrats, have found themselves out of power as a Republican House and Senate do the White House's bidding. But they're looking for ways to fight back. Constituents and activists want them to do more to fight back the onslaught of executive orders and sudden policy shifts coming out of the White House.

º£½Ç»»ÆÞ Democrats are warning that Medicaid, nutrition benefits and other social programs could be on the chopping block after House Republicans passed a budget resolution that calls for spending cuts to offset the implementation of President Donald Trump’s agenda.
