Democrats on the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee pushed back Wednesday over what they see as attacks by President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk on Social Security benefits.

Following President Trump’s joint address to Congress, reactions were swift and varied across Connecticut, with politicians from both sides of the aisle voicing their support and criticism.

President Donald Trump will address a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night. Connecticut’s senators and representatives are bringing various guests, including the state’s teacher of the year and a community health CEO.

Tuesday’s address won’t be called a “State of the Union” because Trump just took office — but the pomp and circumstance will be the same. Expect loud cheers from supporters and protests from dissidents.
