When millions of Americans retire into poverty and public servants are denied their earned benefits, the last thing Congress should pass is another giveaway to billionaires. Let's pass Social Security 2100 to enhance benefits by ensuring the wealthy finally pay their fair share!

Project 2025 would restrict access to health care for millions of Americans. It calls for: ❌imposing a lifetime cap on Medicaid benefits ❌privatizing Medicare coverage ❌banning Medicare from negotiating lower drug costs We can't afford to go back!

We saw the damage bump stocks cause when one was used in a mass shooting in Las Vegas, killing 60 people, but the Supreme Court shamefully struck down federal restrictions this year. I signed a discharge petition to force a House vote on our bill restoring the bump stock ban.

The Americans with Disabilities Act became law 34 years ago. I remain committed to protecting disabled Americans from discrimination and ensuring they have the resources they need to thrive!

I'm a proud cosponsor of @RepJoeMorelle 's constitutional amendment reversing the Supreme Court's Trump immunity ruling. No one should be above the law, especially the President of the United States.

On #WorldIVFDay , reproductive freedom remains under attack. As Republicans continue to block our #RightToIVF Act, I signed a discharge petition to force a vote in the House on this critical bill. It’s time to stop these extreme attacks and stand for women's reproductive rights!

My bipartisan Family Resource Centers bill with @RepMikeCarey advanced out of committee, heading to the House floor. FRCs connect families to childcare, health resources & more - serving 13,000 people/year in CT alone. This bill will help them directly receive federal funding!

It’s been 15 years since we raised the federal minimum wage. I'm a proud cosponsor of @BobbyScott ’s Raise the Wage Act to ensure the minimum wage is a livable wage. We must pass it!

The assassination attempt on former President Trump was a horrific act of political violence. The system we had to protect political leaders failed. I voted to establish a bipartisan task force to investigate the assassination attempt and provide the American people with answers.

Today, we memorialized Joe Lieberman’s service to Connecticut and our nation. Our hearts go out to Hadassah and the Lieberman family who concluded this morning's ceremony by leading the gathering in God Bless America, so fitting for Joe Lieberman & his lifetime of public service.

We have lost a friend and advocate for justice and progress. My thoughts and prayers are with @JacksonLeeTX18 ’s family, staff, and constituents as they mourn this tremendous loss. Her legacy will be felt beyond Washington and Houston for years to come.

The CT delegation announced new federal funding we secured with @GovNedLamont to make heat pumps more available and lower consumer equipment and installation costs. This investment will support new clean energy jobs in our state & reduce household bills for Connecticut families.

As Americans face record heat this summer, we must continue to advance our efforts to combat climate change. Project 2025 puts the health of our environment and communities at risk. @HouseDemocrats remain committed to progress, not pollution!

I joined members of the CT delegation to send a letter to @POTUS highlighting the importance of quality, affordable housing for Americans across the nation. We must address the homelessness crisis and expand affordable housing options, regardless of zip code!

Project 2025 calls for misusing an antiquated federal law to impose a nationwide abortion ban, with or without Congress. I introduced the Stop Comstock Act with @RepBeccaB to repeal this outdated statute before it can ever be weaponized to deny women access to reproductive care.

In #CT05 , more than 145,000 people rely on Social Security. I will never stop fighting to protect this vital program. I am working with @RepJohnLarson to pass Social Security 2100 to expand and protect this earned benefit for decades to come.

Last week, House Republicans voted to reverse protections for LGBTQ+ students and sexual assault survivors - in line with their Project 2025 plan to threaten our rights and freedoms. All students deserve an education free from harassment & discrimination.

Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act - capping the price of insulin & negotiating drug costs for seniors. Now, we're working to strengthen Social Security benefits. I discussed these efforts with South End seniors this morning in Hartford. Let's pass Social Security 2100!
