BREAKING NEWS UPDATE:

Biden will not seek reelection

CNN — (By Michael Williams, CNN / 2:06 PM EDT, Sun July 21, 2024) - President Joe Biden says he is not seeking reelection in a letter posted to X on his official account. Biden says he will speak to the nation later this week in more detail.
“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” Biden wrote. “And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”
Biden’s departure capped off weeks of concern about the 81-year-old president’s stamina and mental capabilities and skepticism of his ability to effectively campaign against Trump and govern the country for another four years. Biden’s decision is also likely to raise questions about his ability to fulfill the duties of the presidency for the remainder of his term.
It’s the first time a US president has dropped out of a reelection run in decades, recalling memories of President Lyndon Johnson deciding against seeking a second full term in 1968 – though Biden’s decision comes months later in the campaign than Johnson’s announcement.

We Salute!
Remembering Minneapolis Police Officer Jamal Mitchell One of Minneapolis' finest.

From New Haven, CT. His funeral happening now in New Haven.
Minneapolis Police Officer Jamal Mitchell is a hero. On May 30, the Minneapolis Police Department lost Jamal, one of its finest, in the line of duty.
Jamal was born Feb. 12, 1988. He was a fiancé, a father and a son. He made the ultimate sacrifice protecting his city and community. His selfless actions will not be forgotten.

Words from the Minneapolis Chief of Police

"Jamal was just 36 years old, a father, son, fiancée, friend, and a member of the Minneapolis Police Department since 2022.��I am angry and deeply hurt by such a senseless and violent attack on Minneapolis’ Finest. ��I knew Jamal. I had the distinct honor of swearing in Jamal as a Minneapolis police officer. Shortly after hitting the street, I commended and honored him for running into a burning house in the 5th Precinct to rescue an elderly couple. ��He loved the job, he loved the Minneapolis Police, and he was faithful to the oath he swore unto his death. Jamal was engaged to be married. Jamal died a hero, and like police officers in Minneapolis here and everywhere, he was one of the few who have the courage to stand up and answer the call every single day. He died doing what we asked him to do for the rest of us. ��Jamal died doing what society asks all police officers to do. He did his job, and he was loyal to his oath until his death. There is no more honorable service one can provide,” said Minneapolis Chief of Police Brian O’Hara.

CT Gov. Lamont UCONN

GOVERNOR LAMONT AND GOVERNOR HOLCOMB PLACE FRIENDLY WAGER ON THE NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont of Connecticut and Governor Eric J. Holcomb of Indiana have placed a friendly wager on the outcome of tonight’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament championship game.

Governor Lamont is betting a case of beer from Athletic Brewing Company, a box of chocolates from Munson’s Chocolates, and a New Haven-style pizza from Sally’s Apizza that the UConn Huskies will claim victory. Governor Holcomb is wagering Triple ### root beer, sugar cream pie from Wick’s, and a pork tenderloin from Harry’s Chocolate Shop that the Purdue Boilermakers will take the title.

“The Huskies have been a dominating force, and I have no doubt that they have what it takes to win the championship title and claim back-to-back victories,” Governor Lamont said. “The Boilermakers are a talented team and have done well this season, which makes tonight’s game even more exciting. I appreciate Governor Holcomb’s confidence in Purdue, but I’m pretty sure that a shipment of Indiana goods will soon be on its way to Hartford.”

“It’s all come down to this, Boiler Up and Hammer Down,” Governor Holcomb said. “I’m confident the NCAA trophy is coming to the Hoosier state, where we grow basketball. It’s going to be a great match up of the best of the best.”

Tip-off for tonight’s game is at 9:20 p.m. ET.

Larson Applauds Announcement of $4.5 Million in Federal Funding to Prevent Flooding in North Hartford

East Hartford, CT – Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement praising today’s announcement of $4.5 million in new federal funding to prevent flooding issues in Hartford’s North End.

“North Hartford residents have been devastated by repeated basement flooding and sewage overflow incidents, putting their health and safety at risk while creating a significant financial burden,” said Larson. “The entire Connecticut delegation has been focused on securing federal resources to support homeowners and invest in infrastructure upgrades to protect the community from severe flooding. I commend Senators Blumenthal and Murphy, and Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro, for their efforts to secure $4.5 million in funding to upgrade stormwater infrastructure in the North End during this year’s budget negotiations. I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress, state and local officials, and the North End community, to ensure impacted homes and businesses get the relief they need, and the City of Hartford has the resources it needs to prevent future damage.”

In addition to today’s announcement, Rep. Larson secured an additional $1.6 million to make stormwater upgrades in this year’s government funding package, the Connecticut General Assembly has dedicated federal Clean Water Act funding to support North End homeowners impacted by basement flooding and sewage backups, and $1 million in Inflation Reduction Act funding was awarded to the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) to support its partnership with the Keney Park Sustainability Project, Blue Hills Civic Association, and Hartford NEXT to address flooding issues.

HARTFORD, CONN (March 25, 2024) – Today, Mayor Arunan Arulampalam announced the appointment of former State Treasurer and Hartford City Council President Shawn Wooden to the City of Hartford’s Pension Commission which oversees the Municipal Employees’ Retirement Fund (MERF).
