DNew Haven apizza >>> Like many of you, I was raised on these slices. I declared New Haven the pizza capital of the U.S. in the congressional record, and we haven’t stopped recognizing that fact since! I will always honor Connecticut’s contributions to American culture. 🍕🍕 https://t.co/qyitCeEn8P
The average price of gas has been above $4 per gallon for 158 days straight. A new record. Brought to you by President Trump. https://t.co/zVbXWJslJq
Paychecks can’t keep up with inflation driven by Trumps war of choice in Iran. More Americans are going to be living paycheck to paycheck. Simple as that.
Since 2020, thousands of CT residents have fallen into poverty and with costs going up, even more families are being stretched thin. Meanwhile, Republicans continue to cut funding from essential programs like Medicaid & SNAP. This crucial aid needs to flow, not go down. https://t.co/UViBg8XK1P
Young Americans are burdened with high costs. Finding a decent job just to make ends meet feels almost impossible for so many. I love seeing young voices come out to talk democracy, and I am so grateful for every one of them. I’m fighting for a future where they thrive. https://t.co/FYaPPIfFQI
My prayers are with Pope Leo XIV and his family. I join Catholics around the world in praying for his holinesses full recovery.
This Columbus Day, I’m proud to honor the rich history & countless contributions of nearly 20 million Italian Americans across our nation. Italian Americans are an integral part of America’s diverse cultural fabric. I’m proud to carry on the traditions & values passed down by our ancestors every day, in my home & in my work in Congress.
Today we celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day. We recognize and honor the people who were here before us, the dark history they've faced, & the contributions they've made and continue to make to the United States.
Trump is clearly putting corporate interests above the health of Americans - look no further than the Administration’s support for pesticide liability. I co-lead a bill to prevent that. We should be focused on making the food we eat safer & healthier.
Today we celebrate International Day of the Girl. This year highlights to crucial need to end child marriage. Every year MORE than 12 MILLION underaged girls are married. We must invest in girls' education and seek legal reforms to protect our girls!
I joined Yale students & faculty to demand Yale to oppose any settlement with the Trump’s Department of Justice. When standing up for one’s values, fighting back is always worth it. I will stand in that fight with you - and we can win it, together. https://t.co/uqcNWtGwGa
On this World Mental Health Day, remember to check in on your friends and family. Or if you are struggling, please remember you are not alone. We can help end the stigma surrounding mental health by talking about it. It’s ok to not be ok. https://t.co/nJIhlxkVs7
We’re in hurricane season, and communities count on FEMA when disaster strikes. But Trump has weakened the agency’s ability to respond when help is needed most. When Hurricane Isaias hits, will the Gulf Coast be left to fend for themselves?
America declared measles eliminated in 2000. Now it’s back. Vaccines did not stop working. RFK Jr. needs to stop spreading vaccine mistrust and get this under control.
ICE continues to terrorize our communities with zero accountability; this time in New York, they shot a man with his 5-year-old child in the car. ICE must be reined in before more senseless violence continues. ICE must not get another dime until reforms. The violence must end.
This week, I was glad to stop by WHEAT Food Pantry to see how they are keeping our community fed. WHEAT is an important cornerstone in providing nutritious food & personal care items to our community. WHEAT & I share the same belief: food is a human right. https://t.co/eda5bVJwHU
Connecticut families will pay an extra $1,540 to heat their homes this winter as Trumps war in Iran continues to drive up prices. If “America First” means CT families choosing between freezing or starving, who is actually coming first? https://t.co/dMcobXNkqc
President Trump's tariff policies, tax cuts for billionaires, and war of choice in Iran have led to high costs and less money in Americans’ pockets. He has a trifecta in Washington. He has used it to enrich himself and his friends – not to help Americans with affordability
Working Latinas are paid just 53 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic white men. Latinas can’t afford to lose $33,370 to the wage gap each year. We must pass my Paycheck Fairness Act to fight for #LatinaEqualPay, because an economy that exploits working women harms us all.
My full statement calling on the Israeli government to end West Bank Settlements: https://t.co/bs950TVX5A
Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) issued the following statement on the ongoing siege of a Palestinian’s family’s home in Wadi Rahim, in the South Hebron Hills of the occupied West Bank: “No family should be held captive in their own home. Yusuf Shanaran and his wife, and four of their children ages 8 to 13, have been trapped inside their house for two days. Settlers built an illegal outpost on the only road to the home and have kept them from leaving, even to get food. According to reports, masked settlers have set fire to four vehicles, burned the family’s water pump, smashed their solar panels, attacked them and their home with stones, and attempted to set it on fire. Yusuf and his wife were injured. “The illegal outpost was established about six months ago, and has been taken down and rebuilt again and again. About a month ago, the Israeli military declared the areas a closed military zone and barred Israelis from entering. The settlers have ignored that order, and the authorities have not enforced it. After this week’s attack, no settler has been arrested. “The Government of Israel has a responsibility to protect this family and their home. It must enforce its own military order and hold those responsible for violence accountable. The Trump Administration should press for that accountability and make clear that the United States opposes settler violence and the expansion of illegal settlements and outposts. These actions endanger Palestinians families, undermine Israel’s own security, and push a two-state solution further out of reach. “A just and lasting peace, with security and dignity for Israelis and Palestinians alike, cannot be built while families live in fear in their own homes.”
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. On Monday I stood with BHcare in New Haven to honor survivors and remember victims of domestic violence. With funding for the Office of Violence Against Women under threat, we must protect survivors and the resources they rely on.
No family should be held captive in their home. Yusuf Shanaran, his wife, & four children have been trapped inside their house for days now. Masked settlers have attacked them & their home ignoring orders to stop. The @IDF has a responsibility to protect this family & their home.
President Trump admitted his “public service announcements” are political ads. At minimum, the money he stole from you—the taxpayers—for these ads should be returned to the Treasury, & his top aides who facilitated this theft must be held accountable. https://t.co/qBLriVJYky
Today, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro urged Connecticut’s farmers to apply for disaster relief funding she secured for their recovery: “I wrote the Farm Recovery and Support Block Grant for farmers who too often get left behind when disaster strikes. Today, I am urging every one of them to apply. Round One closes tonight at 11:59 PM. The earlier you apply, the faster you’ll get the money you’re owed. Busy on the farm? No problem, the application portal will remain open after today.
