"I am shocked and deeply saddened by Lindsey Graham's passing. I will forever remember our last lengthy conversation this weekend, when he exulted at reaching an agreement on our Russian sanctions bill and said, 'this is a big effing deal - we all did good.' When we last spoke, he was as enthusiastic and exuberant as I've ever seen him. Passing the sanctions bill right away would be a fitting tribute." "I traveled with Lindsey extensively to Ukraine and the Middle East. We talked at all hours of the day or night, and traveled through all kinds of weather, meeting dictators and democracy defenders. He was tireless in pursuing freedom for Ukraine and brought to this cause his signature relentless energy and optimism."

Connecticut Reports First Case of Measles in 2026 HARTFORD, Conn. – The Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) today announced that it has confirmed a case of measles in an unvaccinated Hartford County adult. Testing was conducted over the weekend at the State Public Health Laboratory (SPHL). This is the first case of measles reported in Connecticut in 2026. Nationwide, 2,073 cases of measles have been reported in 2026 so far – on track to exceed the 2,288 cases reported in 2025. Connecticut is one of the last states in the country and New England to confirm a measles case in 2026. In the last five years, Connecticut has only had 2 positive cases of measles and they were both unvaccinated and just returned from international travel. The Connecticut resident recently travelled internationally and began showing symptoms of measles after returning. The international travel was not associated with the World Cup. Their symptoms included fever, sore throat, cough, runny nose, diarrhea and rash. The adult is hospitalized in stable condition. Measles is a highly contagious disease that can spread quickly through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. According to the CDC, 9 out of 10 unvaccinated individuals who encounter an infected person will become infected with the measles virus. Measles can be dangerous, especially for children under the age of five. About 1 in 5 unvaccinated people in the U.S. who get measles end up being hospitalized.
