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.

Today, we celebrate our independence from a tyrant, and the start of the world’s greatest democratic experiment. Over 249 years, our democracy has endured. I wish all Americans a happy 4th of July, and I will gladly keep working for a more perfect union.

The Marine Corps reflects our country, a place where people from different backgrounds come together for a common purpose and to defend our shared values. I am grateful to have celebrated our nation’s bravest at the United States Marine Corps parade.

President Trump and Republicans in Congress just raised the cost of living, sticking working and middle-class families with the bill for their billionaire tax cuts. My Full Statement:

If Republicans cared about working families, they’d expand the monthly Child Tax Credit, not protect tax breaks for the wealthiest.

Congressional Republicans are pushing cuts that would take health care away from 186,580 people in Connecticut. In the middle of a cost of living crisis, we can’t turn our backs on our communities. Every family deserves affordable health care.

President Trump & Congressional Republicans sold out hardworking Americans to give tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. When the fallout hits, with higher costs & fewer services, what will they tell the people they were elected to serve?. Have moral courage. Stand up & vote NO.

This morning, I stood with @HouseDemocrats from every corner of the country to oppose the Republican funding bill. We will be voting NO on this bill that abandons hard-working Americans by ripping away healthcare and skyrocketing the cost of living for working families.

Americans are struggling with the high cost of living. Republicans’ solution? Jam through a bill that will cause electric bills to skyrocket by gutting energy projects. We need to finish building these projects to lower costs, not hike up rates by cancelling them.

RT @AppropsDems: Imagine what they'll do with nobody watching.

Republicans in Congress are trying to raise costs and cut health care for millions of Americans so they can give the ultra-rich more tax breaks. President Trump promised to lower the cost of living. President Trump promised to protect Medicaid. President Trump lied.

17 million isn't just a number— it's parents, children, veterans, people with disabilities, and seniors. It's also more than everyone in New England combined. Republicans are ripping healthcare away from them. Real lives. Real families.

Families are already stretched thin. This bill would make life even harder by driving up costs. Republicans: stand up and vote NO on this heartless attack on working people.

Republicans’ budget shows what they value: tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations. How can they afford it? They can’t—so they’re taking funding away from hardworking families.

Congressional Republicans are fast-tracking a budget that guts SNAP benefits for veterans. Is this how they thank our nation’s heroes?

On National Postal Workers Day, I recognize all of the hard work our amazing postal workers do. As member of the Labor Caucus, I will always fight for you & oppose efforts to privatize the Postal Service, which would put profits over the needs of the American people.

We are judged by how we treat the most vulnerable—at home & around the world. President Trump’s cuts to USAID are killing children. We must restore lifesaving funding & irreplaceable American aid like Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTFs).

🚨 Medicaid and ACA coverage are on the chopping block: Republicans are cutting over $1 trillion in funding and putting coverage for 17 million Americans at risk!. They are abandoning American families to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.
