Suggested News & Opinion Sources
As the Trump administration takes office, a lot of us might feel the urge to take a break from the news (or already have). Protecting your mental health is important, but so is staying informed and involved in what’s happening locally, statewide, and nationally. Navigating today’s media landscape — dominated by AI, unchecked social media, and misinformation — can be challenging. To help, we have put together a list of news and opinion sources we recommend checking out:
- Indivisible Stamford
- CT Capitol Report
- The Connecticut Mirror
- Heather Cox Richardson – Letters from an American
- The Bulwark
- Hopium Chronicles by Simon Rosenberg
- The Contrarian
- Democracy Docket
- The Message Box
