@EshaAA33 This picture is ‘73 to ‘75. Not before or after that range.

Based on the entirety of this photograph, what is your best estimation of the year it was taken?

@MattOBrienCT @Betsy_McCaughey @JoeVisconti @CTGOP @MartyHeiser3 Not taking sides in this election, I believe what @Betsy_McCaughey is saying is that she needs to qualify for CEP in order to have the money to compete - including obtaining signatures to get on the ballot.

@Betsy_McCaughey @JoeVisconti @CTGOP @MartyHeiser3 @DanHaarColumns Please see Connecticut General Statutes 9-400. There is no fundraising requirement to successfully petition for primary.

To get on the @CTGOP Gov primary ballot you need 15% of Convention Delegates. Please be clear & straight with voters about the rules when asking for donations. Sketchy fundraising posts can erode confidence in all your claims. @MartyHeiser3 @MattOBrienCT @DanHaarColumns #MAGA

@JohnDiIorio2 It is true that one-party rule in Connecticut brings problems. Unfortunately that’s the way it should remain until CT Republicans openly rebuke the criminal regime headed by @realDonaldTrump. Then we can vote for them again. Good conservatives: Please do your jobs. We need you.

Good on ⁦@DanHaarColumns⁩ for probing the one party rule thread winding through Connecticuts corruption problem. Inside baseball and tribalism can't be regulated or legislated out of the human condition. Diversity and integrity might make a dent. ctinsider.com/connecticut/ar…

@doctorfrig @espn @PatMcAfeeShow Awesome if you like zero insight from a valid fanboy with nothing to add to a game.

Hey @espn If you don't make @PatMcAfeeShow and crew your primary broadcast team for college football next season, you'll really be missing the boat. Their whole team and Pat's way of calling a game is AWESOME.

@CougfanCOM Almost??

Pat McAfee is detracting from this national championship broadcast like no other. Almost unlistenable.

@scott_wheeler12 Good stories all. Just don’t confuse them with the reason electric rates need to go up higher. Also that famous public service charge: it’s not why electric rates are high.

@DanHaarColumns Odd that someone, strong Dem supported, has to be airlifted out of PURA on Xmas Eve. Doing her job on meds that clouded her memory is not a great resume add. Have you investigated Steinberg or Needleman, the dude that screams at women? courant.com/2025/12/27/kev…

@scott_wheeler12 @hartfordcourant @CTDems @AGWilliamTong Ed Mahony did a nice job of revealing issues at PURA. None of this is causing the inevitable rise in rates due to pent up storm costs, deferred maintenance and the need for modernization, as I reported 11 months ago. Don’t blame Democrats or PURA. ctinsider.com/business/artic…

Thank you @hartfordcourant Edmund H. Mahony for the continued coverage of how @CTDems @AGWilliamTong have created a $1.5 billion dollar bill to electric customers due to their protection of Gillett. People better start reading the news. msn.com/en-us/money/co…

@jamesnoble57257 @MitchH8329 @amyklobuchar So, you think the inflation thst spiked in March 2021, before Biden signed any of his spending into law, let alone spent any of it, was caused by Biden? Dream on. Biden best back Trumpflation and now Trump is trying to restore it with the on-again, off-again tariff idiocy.

@amyklobuchar Gee. I wonder why?

Under President Trump, electricity prices are surging — up 11%! — leaving millions behind on their utility bills, with past-due balances at an all-time high. American families deserve better.

@scott_wheeler12 @CTDems Sadly you don’t have the slightest idea what you’re talking about. Not even a vague notion.

@CTDems just rammed through a special session to set aside $500 million to pay state welfare, daily food bank stories with people going hungry and @DanHaarColumns wants CT to buy a sports team. Dan, we are broke. msn.com/en-us/sports/n…

"I'm not a physicist but I’m pretty sure a load of feces of roughly my body weight, dropped on my head from 2,000 feet, would kill me as surely as any stroke or heart attack" ⁦@DanHaarColumns⁩ 😂 ctinsider.com/connecticut/ar…

@ctrewes @CTGOP @GeorgeColli The lobster claw was created in 2001 to benefit a Republican from New Britain, Nancy Johnson.

It's not a magic eye, it's Connecticut's Lobster Claw (5th Congressional District). Somehow Salisbury, Meriden & Danbury are in the same voting district; handing Democrats 18k-25k votes each cycle. @ctgop @GeorgeColli

@scott_wheeler12 I’m just saying it works both ways. Some people might leave the city for the nearby environs, like Greenwich. But as everyone said, we’d rather see NYC succeed.

@DanHaarColumns If the financial institutions leave NYC further as they have to TX and FL how exactly will the finance bros live in CT? The majority of finance companies have 5 day per week in the office. www-ctpost-com.translate.goog/connecticut/ar…

Shofar Shoshsanna Daily Blast 19 Elul 5785 @GovNedLamont @VisitCT @DanHaarColumns @insider_ct Does Gov Lamont desperately need to leak the full details? Swap somebody else in?

@scott_wheeler12 Huh? That’s a bonded state expense to shore up CT’s premier sports arena by a state that has seen $12B in surpluses since the pandemic. It’s like a rich family buying a laptop.

@DanHaarColumns You cover CT politics. You know the groups screaming for money. Yes, it would help Hartford to repay the $145 million for lux boxes at the Civic Center. This is like a family living check to check buying a $100,000 pool. We cannot afford it msn.com/en-us/sports/n…

Today is the 1st of Elul, the month when Jews hear the daily blowing of the Shofar to herald the new year in 30 days. In Connecticut, we have @ShofarShoshanna, chronicler and UConn Huskies fan extraordinaire, with Day One done and more to come!

@JohnDiIorio2 The lobster claw was tailored for former Rep. Nancy Johnson of New Britain — a Republican. Anyway, criticism of it misses the point. Redistricting is done to adjust to population shifts every 10 years — not mid-decade.

Connecticut folks freaking out about gerrymandering should shush. The "lobster claw" is all ours, and its entire design is weaken Republican chances in the 5th.

@scott_wheeler12 No way who loses?

@DanHaarColumns The same Sen. Saud Anwar that scored some serious pork for him and his affluent doctor buddies? That guy? Dems may have a super majority but look at HB5002; those same "liberal" voters are rather NIMBY. No way he loses. msn.com/en-us/news/pol…

@scott_wheeler12 Maybe you’re right. More concerts, smaller size. Both are well run. The Civic Center is the only arena in the state big enough for premier events and it’s in the cap city.

@DanHaarColumns Don't get me wrong, have great memories of the Civic Center. It was an 80s CT icon. To call it "CT's premier arena" today smells of pom pom waving for special interests. The tribes own that tittle. msn.com/en-us/money/co…

@scott_wheeler12 I’m telling you the reported averages from Eversource and Avangrid for gas and electric. My total is $3,400 in a 2,300-sf house. The difference: gas heat instead of oil and I rarely use AC.

@DanHaarColumns I live in a 2100sq cape. 3 people live here. Winter temp set to 62-65 degrees. Summer 73-75. here are my expenses, Electric is $3600 Oil is approx. $3600 due to hot water and heating. That is $7200, a far cry from your $4600. www-ctinsider-com.translate.goog/news/article/t…

This was definitely not an aberration. I once had to step in and separate Larson and a tough reporter (I was the good cop); not that anyone was coming to blows of course.
