Proud to represent CT-03 in Congress. Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, Italian-American, New Haven native, fierce advocate for a strong middle class.
We all know the Trump Administration is full of shit—now they want you to be, too.
On Accessible Parking Awareness Day, we are reminded that accessible parking provides those with disabilities safe access to public spaces, independence, & dignity. I’ll continue to work with advocates, like my friends at Peace Love & ACCESSibility, for a more inclusive society.
I joined LEAP for kids for their annual Read-In on the Green – an event that inspires a love of reading in our children. LEAP has made a real difference in the lives of New Haven’s children, helping them to develop a strong foundation, & I am proud to support their cause.
📢TODAY, join me in a Tele-Town Hall to discuss new federal student loan changes. When: 6:00 PM Where: delauro.house.gov/media-center/live How: call (855) 920-0553 to participate See you soon!
There was no reason this war should have started. While Americans struggled with the high cost of groceries, rent & other basics, President Trump launched a war of choice with no clear goals & no off-ramp to ending the conflict. (1/4)
President Trump's financial disclosure shows his businesses generated more than $2 billion in income during his first year in office. Instead of focusing on lowering the costs, he is filling his pockets and telling hardworking Americans to cut corners on spending.
Trump now has plans to remake the East Potomac Golf Course. While millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, he's teeing up to build himself yet another playground. These should not be the priorities of our President.
The DOJ's decision to drop the case against Abbott, despite strong evidence the company sold contaminated infant formula, is troubling. No corporation should be above the law, especially when children’s lives are at stake. Abbott must be held accountable.
Today, I joined health experts, scientists, & patient advocates to highlight the danger of the Trump Administration’s proposed rule that would add a political loyalty test to the evaluation of research proposals & grant allocations. We will not let this stand.
I joined ConnCAT to celebrate the grand opening of First Haven in Dixwell – the new home to a childcare center, health clinic & job training center. This center will help people make ends meet & help this historic neighborhood revitalize itself in a powerful way.
Today marks the 11th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which required all states to license and recognize same-sex marriages. A generation of activism made this possible and today we honor their efforts. Our fight for LGBTQ+ equality continues onward! 🏳️🌈
The Trump Administration has wanted to dismantle FEMA since Day 1. Today, Secretary Mullin would not answer my question on whether FEMA should be eliminated.
This president doesn't care about helping you buy a home or bringing down your costs. He only looks out for himself and his billionaire friends.
Today marks four years since the Supreme Court Dobbs decision. Pregnancy-related deaths have increased since in the states with abortion bans. Women shouldn't be hostage to geography. I'll continue to defend these rights in CT & across the country.
Trump’s chaotic trade war continues to impact our local economy, even after the Supreme Court ruled Trump had no authority to unilaterally implement these tariffs on a whim. I visited Lipper International, a local Wallingford business, to discuss the impact of these tariffs.
I joined Mayor Sendroff and first responders to announce over $1 million in Community Project Funding that I secured to build an Emergency Operations Center in Hamden. This project will enhance disaster preparedness, response capabilities, and recovery efforts.
Yesterday I listed just a few of President Trump's corrupt dealings. Today, we have yet another example of how he's using the presidency to enrich himself while you live paycheck to paycheck. Learn more: delauro.house.gov/corruptdon
Appointing Bill Pulte, a Trump loyalist with no national security experience, to be Director of National Intelligence is an insult to those who work every day to keep Americans safe and will put our communities in danger. This reckless pick must not be confirmed.
The Trump Administration values loyalty over qualifications. These hirings weaken our security and put the lives of Americans in the hands of incompetent, untested loyalists.
The Republican CTC vs the Democrat CTC: Democrats want to get more money to working- and middle-class Americans. Republicans are catering to billionaires and giant corporations.
It's an absolute pleasure to share that Funmi & Monica were awarded the DeLauro & Cole scholarships at GLOBAL’s #AcceptAbilityGala. I'll continue advocating in support of #downsyndromeresearch & I am proud to have started funding for the NIH's INCLUDE Project with Tom Cole.
Happy Hamburger Day!🍔 Few foods are more iconic than the hamburger, and it all traces back to New Haven! Louis’ Lunch is widely credited with serving the first hamburger sandwich in 1895. A delicious piece of American history. If you don't know, now you do!
Reminder: Trump will use your money for golden ballrooms, giant arches, and UFC matches before spending a single cent to help Americans struggling with the cost of living. He works for himself and the super wealthy, not for you.
We are! And we shouldn’t be. President Trump is using taxpayer dollars for his personal entertainment while Americans are scraping by unable to afford their groceries, utilities, and gas for their cars.
