@jrabethomas.bsky.socialReposted by @alexputterman.bsky.socialConnecticut 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. 🧵
@alexputterman.bsky.socialCT’s only psychiatric hospital for children has kids who can’t leave, staff under assault and facilities in disrepair.

@alexputterman.bsky.socialWith the WNBA leaving, Connecticut is back to having no top-level sports franchises.

@ctinsider.bsky.socialReposted by @alexputterman.bsky.social“More people have died as a result of the illnesses related to 9/11 than died from the attacks themselves,” a doctor said.
@ctinsider.bsky.socialReposted by @alexputterman.bsky.socialAbout 570,000 households in Connecticut were financially unstable in 2024, the report said.
@alexputterman.bsky.socialAnother good story from @joshuaeaton.bsky.social, including a contentious press conference with the governor.
"An ICE agent almost ran me over two hours ago," one of the activists interrupted again.
"Alright," the governor finally relented. "Forget it."
