It was an honor to meet with the new Italian Ambassador, Marco Peronaci! As co-chair of the Italian American Congressional Delegation, I am committed to strengthening U.S.-Italy relations to maintain our important alliance.

Republicans’ partisan funding bill will raise health care costs.   They should be ready to explain that to their constituents.

This week, @delauro.house.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social reintroduced the FAMILY Act – legislation that would create a universal paid family and medical leave program. If our leaders really want to support working families in this economic crisis, they can start here.

Congratulations to New Haven’s cherished Claire’s Corner Copia on 50 outstanding years. Claire, thank you for all you do for your customers and your dedicated staff. Your one-of-a-kind dedication, vision, and creativity is undoubtedly the recipe to your success.

The closure of PosiGen's operations in CT and the loss of nearly 80 jobs is just the latest casualty of Trump's policies.    The administration's reckless & destructive attacks on clean energy continue to cost working families - lost jobs and higher electric bills.

Americans know the way forward: 80% of swing-state voters support paid leave. Nearly 3/4 of independents and over 2/3 of Republicans agree. If paid leave is bipartisan to the public, it should be bipartisan in Congress. We must pass paid leave now.

Today, working families are stretched to the breaking point in this cost-of-living crisis, yet the U.S. remains the only industrialized nation without paid leave. The FAMILY Act is our next step forward.

Today is National Voter Registration Day! The right to vote is sacred and I’m committed to protecting it. Learn how to register to vote today at vote.gov.

Boar's Head keeps ignoring food safety and endangering public health. Their decision to reopen the Virginia facility that caused a deadly listeria outbreak, despite ongoing food safety failures at their other facilities, should be questioned.

Working families lose $22.5 billion per year in wages without paid family and medical leave. We force hardworking people to choose between their health or family and their paycheck. That's why I authored the FAMILY Act, so all workers have the financial security to respond to life’s challenges.

Rep @delauro.house.gov & @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social just reintroduced the FAMILY Act! 27% of the workforce has paid family leave from their jobs. The FAMILY Act would address America’s paid leave crisis & benefit working people, families, and businesses. We’re #ForFAMILY #PaidLeaveForAll. 👏

The courts have decided: OMB Director Russ Vought broke the law. Americans deserve to know how their tax dollars are spent, but time & again, Russ Vought hides the truth. Read my full thoughts: bit.ly/4mn152f

The Food Safety Caucus has some serious questions for Boar’s Head as they reopen their facility at the center of a deadly Listeria outbreak last year. They must come before us to answer them. Americans deserve answers. We will get to the bottom of this. apnews.com/article/boar...

Congress should be united in finding ways to save lives & end gun violence. I urge my Republican colleagues to put the lives of our children above partisan politics. Listen to the thousands of families affected like Kristin Song's & pass legislation like Ethan's Law.

As Trump's tariffs and extreme funding cuts continue to kill jobs and reduce investments, American families are paying the price. In the middle of a cost of living crisis, our families need real solutions.

Constance Baker Motley was a force. Born in New Haven to immigrant parents, she broke barriers throughout her legal career & made history as the first Black woman to serve as a federal judge. I'm proud to introduce legislation to honor her legacy with a Congressional Gold Medal.

Netanyahu will never be a partner for peace because his goal is complete occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. Abandoning a two-state solution means endless conflict, which the Israeli people should reject.

The cost of living keeps rising, and there is no help on the way from Trump's billionaire-first government.

Russia’s war on Ukraine is not just about Ukraine. Putin wants to break NATO & dominate Eastern Europe—as a start. Trump must be clear: We will always stand with Poland, Ukraine, & our allies for freedom & democracy against Putin’s aggression. We are not Russian puppets.

September 11, 2001, is a day that we will never forget. Today, we stand in remembrance of the thousands of innocent lives lost and honor the survivors, first responders, and families whose lives were forever changed.

Republican leadership stacked this year's National Defense Authorization Act with partisan riders, prioritizing political points over supporting our servicemembers. I cannot support the bill in this form.

I am horrified by reports that Charlie Kirk has been shot at an event in Utah. Political violence is never acceptable. I am praying for him and his family.

SHOCKER: A Republican party with no regard for the law is defunding law enforcement and cutting thousands of agents and analysts. Violent crime, espionage, and terrorism will go unchecked, leaving Americans to pay the price. Watch me FIGHT BACK: youtu.be/kB2zq7ykPTg

Republicans want to take free vaccines from our kids. Congress should be making decisions based on science, not RFK Jr.'s conspiracy theories. I won't stand for it.

The cost of common household grocery items has increased by more than 5% since Trump took office, with food prices continuing to rise by nearly 20%. The consequences of #Trumpflation policies are clear: Rising costs, decreased economic opportunities, and a widening wealth gap.

CT families are struggling with soaring utility bills. Trump’s most recent attack on clean energy increases electricity bills, reduces grid reliability, & costs CT good paying jobs. Trump must allow this nearly complete project—slated to start powering CT next year—to resume.

Israel’s brazen strike in Qatar, a US ally which hosts American troops and has facilitated ceasefire negotiations, shows that Netanyahu has no interest in peace. This reckless attack alienates Israel further and undermines their credibility. Netanyahu’s escalation must stop.

I mourn the lives lost in the horrific attack in Jerusalem yesterday which killed six people. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.

19 million kids are left behind in Trump's Child Tax Credit plan, and the GOP CTC is worth less than it was in 2017. My American Family Act includes all children and significantly increases the value of the CTC. #Trumpflation

The latest Republican budget guts the Department of Labor by 30% and job training by OVER HALF. Who wins? Billionaires & union-busting corporations. Who loses? Anyone who’s worked a day in their life. Which side are you on?

Biomedical research used to be a bipartisan priority in Congress. Now, Republicans refuse to invest in the research that saves American lives. In fact, they’re working overtime to make us weaker, sicker, and poorer.

We’re all paying the price for Republican cruelty and corruption in dollars AND lives. They’re pulling the plug on lifesaving research with one hand while rubber-stamping record kickbacks for billionaires and big corporations with the other.

On everything from education to women’s health to wages, Republicans’ latest spending plan is a gut punch to everyday Americans and another whopping win for billionaires and big corporations. I’m calling it like I see it alongside @appropsdems TODAY: youtu.be/azyKOybUcSQ

Release the files.

The Hispanic Health Council’s nutrition program is closing. For 20 yrs, thousands of CT families have relied on this resource for food & education. Trump's cuts are a slap in the face for working families trying to live healthier lives—all to hand billionaires more tax cuts.

RFK Jr.'s ridiculous conspiracy theories and pseudoscience are pushing our nation’s best and brightest out of the CDC. The health of our families are better off in the hands of professionals. He must be fired.

"—take out the people who are just trying to create noise against the president..." Lie all you want, you can’t fool the American people. They live your broken economy every day. Groceries, housing, & healthcare are too expensive. Good jobs are being eliminated by your policies.

9 months into Trump's "golden age" and the economy is stagnant. Manufacturing jobs are being eliminated. People can't afford groceries, let alone housing or healthcare. But hey—at least his billionaire friends got those tax breaks they really needed.

Next time you’re stuck in the airport for hours and face a cancelled flight, remember to thank President Trump and his billionaire backers when your money is lost.

Under Republicans’ restrictive energy agenda, energy efficiency programs that help CT families lower their bills and reduce pollution are cut by 42% all to pay for corporate tax cuts. Trump will always choose his fellow billionaires before you.

GOP Energy Bill CUTS BIG from: 🚨 Energy efficiency, driving up costs 🚨 Nuclear threat prevention 🚨 Radioactive waste cleanup 🚨 Research and innovation It doesn't take a scientist to know—this is a recipe for disaster.

House Republicans are slashing clean energy funding by nearly HALF and revoking BILLIONS in funding for new infrastructure, all while raising costs for families and killing jobs. For what? To give tax breaks to the wealthiest few.

Today, I signed @khanna.house.gov & Rep. Thomas Massie’s petition to release all DOJ and FBI files on Jeffrey Epstein. Survivors deserve justice. We must protect women & children— not pedophiles.

Thank you to the 43 TFA teachers entering classrooms this school year and for 20 years of #teachforamerica's service in Connecticut! I commend your hard work & commitment to your students’ education.

Consumer protection?🚫CUT. Safeguards for the stock market?🚫CUT. Going after wealthy tax cheats?🚫CUT. Republicans are building a lawless playground for billionaires & big corporations, where the top 1% do what they want. Watch @democrats-appropriations.house.gov fight back: youtu.be/EQVbb-r6FbE

Republicans’ 2026 education funding plan slashes $12 BILLION from K-12 schools, kicks teachers out of classrooms, and abandons kids and hardworking families already struggling with rising costs. Why? All so billionaires can skip out on their taxes.

If you’re a billionaire or big corporation, Republicans’ 2026 spending plan has you covered. But, if you’re a teacher, a sick kid, a worker, or a woman — you’re screwed. We know where Republicans’ priorities lie, and it’s never been with the American people.

Former CDC Directors who served under Republicans & Democrats are standing up to RFK Jr. and the danger he poses to Americans’ health. He must be fired. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

By defunding research for lifesaving cures, Republicans are kicking sick kids and desperate families to the curb. I won’t stand for it. 🔴 Watch @democrats-appropriations.house.gov fight back against Republicans’ cruel, twisted spending agenda: youtu.be/XFB0coENolE

Now that school’s back in session, families are feeling the pinch. Trump’s reckless tariffs & failure to tackle the cost-of-living crisis have made back-to-school shopping more expensive. Parents shouldn’t have to pay more to give their kids the education they deserve.
