Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal has become the center of President Trump'srecent vacation tweet-storm -- and it's not the first time Trump has called the senator out for misrepresenting his service in Vietnam.
Blumenthal says these tweets won't distract him from creating legislation to prevent the president from firing special prosecutor Robert Mueller.
This hour, we talk Blumenthal, a climate change report that was leaked to The New York Times, Trump's opioid update, and more sophisticated nukes in North Korea.
We also check in on the 2018 races, and of course the state budget.
