Sen. Marilyn Moore, D-Bridgeport, organized a news conference in mid-April following the shooting death of a three-year old in Hartford. She later convened a joint informational committee hearing to hear about gun violence intervention and prevention. The Biden Administration’s message on cyberattacks and the apparent quick response from the Russians per new ransomware attacks should be of considerable concern for America.  The rash of gang-related killings of predominately Black youth and c...

Preventing cyberattacks can no longer be a laissez-faire mission Out-of-service gas pumps in Oak Hill, Virginia, due to panic buying after the Colonial Pipeline cyberattack. In early May the nation felt a most feared crisis. A part of America was being held hostage by enemies of the United States and mercenaries who were seeking over $5 million in order for the United States to be made whole again from an all too critical energy perspective. It has been followed recently by cyberattacks again...

Chion Wolf / Connecticut Public Credit Chion Wolf This hour, we talk about two Connecticut dance halls, each springing from the vision of two very different men who took their respective dance halls down very different paths. Ones dream soared, bringing thousands of concert-goers to over 3,000 acts over an 11-year history. The others dream stalled, his elaborate dance hall sitting idle for decades. Thrall Hall in East Windsor is a lot of things. By most accounts, its a fascinating example ...

House Minority Leader VIncent Candelora, R-North Branford, has been criticizing the state’s new quasi-public family leave authority for months over delays in setting up a payroll deduction system to fund such paid leaves starting next year. But now he’s raising a new issue — the authority’s award of a no-bid contract to a Democratic political operative.

G.W. Petteway knew education would change life for Black people During Black History Month, I frequently think about my great-grandfather who was born a slave in North Carolina in 1834. I think of how he made education such a vital part of his life, as he was allowed to read when reading was against the law for most Blacks. He shared the word of the Bible with the community, and founded the first school in the area for newly freed slaves. Chion Wolf :: Connecticut Public Radio Gary A. Franks Th...

Donald Trumps legal team delivered their defense of the former president Friday. They followed a tightly argued and visceral presentation delivered by House managers that, some say, has made it easy for Republican senators to convict Trump. They likely wont. We wondered if our show, recorded in part on Thursday, would omit important events that occurred thereafter. Given that many Republican senators have already decided to acquit, why would the defense feel the need to address the 144 constitu...

We took a chance that House Democrats were going to send the Article of Impeachment to the Senate this week. We were wrong. Instead, the House will transmit its Article of Impeachment charging former President Trump with "incitement of insurrection" to the Senate on Monday. Why should the House wait any longer when more than a dozen Republican senators are trying to dismiss the impeachment trial before it begins, based on the disputed claim that its unconstitutional to try an ex-president.

Previously on Pardon Me (Another Damn Impeachment Show?): House Democrats voted to impeach President Trump on two Articles of Impeachment: "abuse of power" and "obstruction of Congress." He was later acquitted promptly after Senate Republicans voted against calling witnesses or admitting new evidence. Now (less than 48 weeks later), on Season Two of Pardon Me: House Democrats, along with 10 Republicans, voted to impeach President Trump Wednesday on one Article of Impeachment: "incitement of i...
