Today is Latina Equal Pay Day! On average, Latinas are paid 54 cents to every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men.

We celebrate the resilience of Latinas in America but we must also pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and end this disparity! #LatinaEqualpay #Trabajadoras

Scheduling? What is Mike Johnson doing during the day? All I see are TV hits – and we’re not voting 🤔

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 10h

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Republicans are preparing to devastate HUSKY coverage for people with disabilities in CT.

I met with those at risk of losing access to critical services that allow them to thrive at home and in our communities. I promise to keep fighting for these vital programs.

I'm glad to have joined Rep. John Larson, @jahimes.bsky.social, @repjahanahayes.bsky.social, & Access Health CT to sound the alarm on skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Republicans are at fault for the healthcare crisis & this shutdown. Our delegation is fighting on behalf of the American people.

Republicans shut down the government and then skipped town.

Democrats are ready to address the health care crisis, lower costs, and cancel cuts. Republicans are on vacation.

If Republicans let health care tax credits expire, premiums will skyrocket.

Democrats are standing up and fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts, save health care.

OMB Director Russ Vought announced that the Department of Energy would terminate $8 billion in energy projects, targeting 16 Democratic states.

Canceling these projects will increase energy prices, eliminate jobs, & weaken the energy grid.

I am heartbroken by the horrendous attacks this morning in Manchester, England. Anti-semitism must be condemned in all its forms.

I am praying for the families and community affected and remain grateful for the brave first responders.

Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for federally funded healthcare—Medicare, Medicaid, ACA, all of it. Republicans claiming otherwise are just lying—badly.

Russ Vought’s gleeful announcement that the White House will be canceling energy projects in Connecticut & across the country is a direct partisan attack that we can't ignore.

It's reckless & betrays both common sense & public trust.

Democrats won’t stop fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts, and save American health care. That’s what we are doing in D.C.

Democrats are standing up for Americans' healthcare.

Republicans are frantically making up lies about illegal immigrants because they know their Big Ugly Law is extremely unpopular.

Lying is their entire strategy, and it's being exposed.

Rosa DeLauro @delauro.house.gov · 7d

Republicans are desperate to have you believe Democrats are fighting for healthcare for “illegal immigrants”. The truth is the law already bars them from federally funded healthcare.

The Republican crisis will leave 15 million Americans uninsured & raise costs for 22 million.

House Democrats are here in Washington, D.C. ready to negotiate and fight to keep the government open.

Where are Republicans? On vacation.

Republicans control Congress and the White House. If the government shuts down it is their responsibility.

Just a moment ago, I put forward a plan to keep the government open. Republicans tanked it so they could remain on vacation while Americans struggle with the health care crisis they’ve created.

It’s time to lower costs, cancel the cuts, and save health care.

Sikorsky has built the finest helicopters in the world since opening over a century ago—all proudly made in Connecticut.

President Trump’s reckless tariffs are causing chaos and raising already high costs for hardworking Americans and seniors.

From prescription drugs to your morning coffee — his actions take more money out of your pocket to reward his billionaire friends.

No one should have to live in a home that doesn't meet the bare minimum of their needs. Park Ridge residents deserve more from their landlord— like basic safety & security.

I’ll continue to work with my Senate colleagues to ensure tenant complaints & issues are resolved.
