Clinicians at CT's only state-run psychiatric hospital for kids agreed a 17-year-old was ready to leave. A probate judge ordered her discharged. DCF had nowhere to send her. Since then: a night in an emergency foster home, two days in DCF offices, weeks in an ER. 🧵

Texts show Eversource's CEO urged Gov. Lamont to let the utility hire his just-ousted top aide to negotiate an $807M storm-cost settlement — an arrangement ethics rules restrict & would have sidestepped the consumer counsel who protects ratepayers.

Connecticut has one psychiatric hospital for the children private providers won't take and other hospitals can't safely handle.
It's licensed for 50 beds. This summer, hospital leaders capped it at 24 — while children waited to get in.
We asked for the records. 🧵

Former NFL players’ association chief DeMaurice Smith and I write about how the Protect College Sports Act protects nothing more than a deeply exploitative system that hurts athletes.

Advocates in CT said ICE made an arrest at a bus stop. It was repeated by politicians. ICE said it didn't make an arrest at a bus stop. CT Insider has obtained video footage of the incident that day.
