President Trump campaigned on avoiding war. He deceived and overstepped.
Americans will not forget that it was President Trump who launched this war and Republicans who enabled it.

The president and Elon Musk decimated the federal workforce last year, driving close to 1,000 employees out of the nation’s top cybersecurity agency.
Republicans were silent then. Now, all of a sudden, they are "defenders" of cybersecurity. It's political theater.

“Tell Kristi… I want her to know it was me.” - Cricket, probably
I join American families, free speech advocates, and dog-lovers across the nation in breathing a sigh of relief that Kristi Noem is no longer in a position of power in this government.
She will not be missed.
House Republicans are using President Trump’s war with Iran to force Congress to fund ICE & CBP without reforms.
I introduced a bill to fund DHS except for the rogue agencies, so negotiations can continue. Republicans are blocking this measure.
Gas prices are skyrocketing. Americans are paying almost 30 cents more for gas per gallon than they did last week.
President Trump should be helping Americans with high costs, but his reckless war is raising prices.
The conviction of a Georgia father whose son used an unsecured firearm in a school shooting shows the growing momentum for parental accountability and safe storage.
Ethan's Law would take the next step, establishing federal storage rules and penalties.
Safe storage saves lives.
93 years ago, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Frances Perkins as U.S. Secretary of Labor, becoming the first female cabinet member in American history.
Frances was a trailblazer. Let us honor and continue her fight for workers rights.
Ranking Members @meeks.house.gov, @adamsmith.house.gov, @jahimes.bsky.social, @delauro.house.gov and @mccollum.house.gov sent a letter to top Trump administration officials set to brief Congress today, demanding they answer critical questions concerning ongoing U.S. military operations against Iran.
Wishing a happy Purim to the Jewish community!
The Purim festival commemorates the survival and resilience of the Jewish people. I hope that all who are celebrating have a joyous time with family and friends!
Americans are demanding help with the cost-of-living crisis, but President Trump would rather start another war and risk the lives of troops while raising bills for their families.
My heart is with the families of these brave soldiers, who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We need to honor their memory.
I condemn the actions by President Trump and Israel.
President Trump is risking the lives of American personnel and the stability of the entire region, without Congressional approval and without any articulated plan.
President Trump’s decision, along with Israel, to launch direct military action against Iran to achieve regime change is a disaster in the making.

On International Small Dog Day, we’re celebrating the little pups who bring so much joy to our lives.
Proud to share these small but mighty members of Team DeLauro who brighten our days 🐾💜
President Trump is setting the stage to steal the midterm elections and set fire to our democracy - peddling the lie that 2020 was stolen. It was not.
We will fight for our democracy and safeguard the right to vote.
For Black History Month, I want to highlight CT native Constance Baker Motley—the 1st Black woman to argue before the Supreme Court & become a federal judge.
I proudly introduced a bill to honor her judicial service & civil rights contributions with a Congressional Gold Medal.
Beneath all his bluster & boasting is the fact that he doesn't care about the struggles of the American people.
His signature achievement last year was a tax bill that gave away $4.5 trillion to the wealthy & the biggest corporations, & which gutted Medicaid to pay for it.
5 years ago today, the House passed the Equality Act to enshrine explicit civil rights protections for LGBTQI+ Americans.
I proudly voted for this legislation back then, & I will continue to fight alongside my @equality.house.gov colleagues to ensure this critical bill becomes law.
Biggest item missing so far tonight? No talk about the economy. Is Trump even trying to put more money in working and middle class Americans pockets?
Spoiler: no
Trump’s immigration enforcement isn’t targeting violent, dangerous criminals like we should.
Instead, he’s detaining parents, children, beloved community members, and sadly, killing Americans.
Republicans and Trump are responsible for Homeland being shutdown.
I have a bill that would fund the law abiding agencies under DHS - FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard Cybersecurity and more.
But we won’t give another dime to a lawless ICE without reforms the American people demand.
While hardworking families are struggling to make ends meet and TSA security officers are working without pay, Secretary Noem is shopping for a new luxury jet on the taxpayer's dime.
Four years ago, Putin tried to conquer the people of Ukraine. He failed, and he is still failing.
Ukrainians have held on to their democracy and their freedom. Their bravery should inspire all of us, and I will stand with them until victory, as long as it takes.
This ruling is a victory for American families who are struggling with the cost-of-living crisis. Prices have not just been rising in America—they are soaring, and President Trump’s blanket tariffs were pouring gasoline on the fire.
President Trump is once again trying to slash health benefits for veterans, this time by cutting disability payments in a rushed process that has left veterans in the dark.
This is disrespectful and unacceptable--the VA must reverse this decision.
Sunset Ridge tenants are fighting against predatory practices & unacceptable living conditions. They’ve made it clear that they will not be silenced. I stand in solidarity with the tenants union as they seek legal redress from evictions & retaliation.
Ramadan Mubarak to all who celebrate!
May this holy month of Ramadan bring peace, prosperity, and time with loved ones.
