I am proud to have secured over $16 million in Community Project Funding in 2024 funding, delivering project checks across our community— with more to come! As Chair of the Appropriations Committee, I fought to bring back these programs that invest in our economy & communities.

Republican cuts to water infrastructure will take over $7 million from projects across Connecticut that keep our water safe by removing lead piping & other dangerous chemicals. Every American should have access to clean water.

Republicans' Big Ugly Law defunds & destroys food assistance organizations that fight against hunger like @CTFoodshare. Instead of supporting families during the cost-of-living crisis, Republicans are ripping food from people’s mouths to pay for tax breaks for the wealthiest.

Underfunding @NatlParkService brings uncertainty and unemployment to loyal park employees like Mary’s granddaughter. It also makes the 332 million annual visits to our national parks more difficult and dangerous. Our parks, our planet, and our people deserve better.

When Republicans stop investing in the infrastructure that gets water to your home and gas to your car, COSTS GO UP.

Republicans are cutting state water projects by 62%, increasing the risk of contamination by lead and other toxic chemicals. Billionaires and big polluters drink free; the middle class, the working class, and the vulnerable pick up their tab. LEARN MORE: democrats-appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…

Our children deserve the same access to parks, museums, and clean air & water that past generations secured for us. We're on the verge of LOSING America's natural wonders to yet another round of Republican cuts. Watch @AppropsDems fight back: youtu.be/W1IAAxotBcE

For too long the @US_FDA has allowed corporations to put synthetic & possibly carcinogenic additives in our foods. “Generally Recognized as Safe” is broken. As a leader on this issue, I’m ready to work with Republicans to fix this loophole – are they? The GRAS can be greener.…

The Trump Administration has been on a reckless path to decimate the IRS & make it easier for people to cheat on their taxes Instead of checking Trump, House Rs are proposing even more reckless cuts- including a 45% cut in enforcement Imagine what this chart will look like

Republicans are building a lawless playground for billionaires and big corporations. Consumer protection? 🚫 Safeguards for the stock market? 🚫 Tax enforcement? 🚫 The wealthy few do whatever they want and the rest of us fend for ourselves.

The latest round of Republican cuts lets greedy corporations cheat on their taxes, poison consumers, & continue to scam everyday Americans out of their hard-earned money. 🔴 Watch me fight back with @AppropsDems: youtu.be/y0alCFUVAes

This morning, I spoke at the Grimes Center about how the Big Ugly Bill will impact seniors’ healthcare. Medicaid covers 74% of all CT nursing home residents. The bill slashes Medicaid funding by nearly $1 TRILLION. Americans deserve better.

🚨The court just ruled what we've known all along: The Office of Management and Budget is required to restore the website detailing how it is spending YOUR taxpayer dollars. Here's what they tried to get away with⬇️

Final CBO score of the "big beautiful bill" is out Biggest Medicaid cuts ever - in fact, 4 times the size of the previous biggest; $894-$990 bn Kicks 10 million off health insurance Biggest SNAP cuts ever, $187 bn Still increases deficit by $3.4 trillion from huge tax cuts

Income driven repayment plans help borrowers manage student loan costs. Suspending them during a cost-of-living crisis makes no sense. The Trump Administration is making life more expensive for hardworking Americans.

A judge just told the Trump admin that they broke the law by taking down a public database and hiding how they spend taxpayer dollars. 📰 Statement from Ranking Member @rosadelauro: democrats-appropriations.house.gov/news/press-rel…
