Rep. John Larson

Elon Musk called Social Security a Ponzi scheme and Donald Trump called it a scam. Make no mistake - they want to slash & privatize Americans' benefits. My resolution compels them to provide answers, but Republicans are trying to stop it from even coming to a vote in the House.

Our nation is facing a healthcare crisis. Costs are too high—and that was before Republicans voted to kick 15 million Americans off their insurance. We've even seen reports of providers scheming to drive up prices on the very patients they serve. It's time for Medicare for All.

The Trump Administration may be fine with stealing your confidential records, but I'm not. I’ve been demanding accountability, and I will not give up the fight. They just exposed the Social Security numbers of doctors from across the country! The American people deserve answers.

Trump claimed he had all the money he needed to build his $400 million ballroom. Now, he wants taxpayers to foot the bill?! Whether it's gas or groceries, prices are through the roof. We should be lowering costs, not throwing money at this vanity project. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

After a judge blocked abortion medication nationwide, I'm glad the Supreme Court stepped in to restore access to mifepristone. We just filed a Supreme Court brief urging them to overturn this extreme ruling. I trust women, not politicians, to make their own healthcare decisions.

We ask our first responders to run toward danger, protect our communities, and save lives when seconds count. We are creating Bristol’s first active shooter training facility to be a regional resource and ensure our fire service and police force have the training they need.

¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! Today, we celebrate the resilience and contributions of Mexican Americans who shape our communities and our nation every day. #CincoDeMayo

Excited to break ground on the construction of 20 new, affordable housing units at Mallory View in Barkhamsted! I secured $1.6 MILLION in Congress for the Barkhamsted Housing Trust to support this project. I'll keep working to ensure everyone can afford to rent or own a home.

After Friday’s shameful decision cutting off access to medication abortion for millions of women, I’m glad the Supreme Court stepped in. Republicans won’t stop their push for a national abortion ban. We’re fighting to restore reproductive freedom for all! apnews.com/article/aborti…

From gas prices to healthcare premiums, costs are skyrocketing for Americans. Trump and the Republicans don't care. They're pouring billions into a war in Iran and ICE. What about the needs of working families? Democrats are fighting to make life more affordable for you!

Donald Trump is incapable of executing the duties of the Presidency. If his cabinet won't act, then Congress needs to step up. I filed articles of impeachment & am working with @RepRaskin to create a panel on presidential fitness under the 25th Amendment. newsweek.com/donald-trump-c…

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to educators in Connecticut! Your mentorship and support are critical to your students. Thanks for all you do! 🍎🏫📚  @RepJahanaHayes and I are fighting to pass the RAISE Act to increase teacher pay and recruit more educators in our schools.

The Constitution is the rule of law, but Trump treats it as a mere suggestion. I introduced articles of impeachment against him to demand accountability and safeguard our democracy from his threats. He needs to be reined in!

Since Trump launched his illegal war in Iran, gas prices have gone up to over $4/gallon nationwide. Families in Connecticut have been stuck paying $170 million more at the pump. That’s outrageous. This chaos must end so prices can come down for families trying to make ends meet.

Trump has shown he'll make cruel cuts to programs people depend on, from health care to heating assistance, and even Social Security. I'm working with @ChrisMurphyCT to enhance your hard-earned benefits, not cut them. No one should retire into poverty after a lifetime of work!

It's not enough for Republicans to kick 15 million people off their health care and cut SNAP benefits for millions more. Donald Trump is about to push hundreds of thousands of low-income Americans off the benefits that barely cover their basic needs. When does the cruelty end?

Great to join so many friends in Torrington for #MayDay to speak out. Whether it’s his cost-raising tariffs, ICE secret police, healthcare cuts, or the illegal war in Iran, Donald Trump thinks he’s above the law. Standing together, We the People will defeat this cruel agenda!

May is #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth! This month, we honor the contributions and achievements of Jewish Americans and remain committed to rooting out antisemitism and bigotry in all forms.

For more than a year, 'DOGE' has been combing through the American people's records. They want to use your data to overturn elections and profit in the private sector. Enough! This administration must be held accountable for this massive data breach! commondreams.org/news/doge-soci…

The Constitution requires the President to come before Congress if he wants to send our nation to war.   But Donald Trump believes that he's above the law. He is unfit to serve as Commander-in-Chief.

Mifepristone is safe and effective. Full stop. 
As Republicans continue their march toward a national abortion ban, this decision will imperil access to care for millions of women. It must be overturned, and we must restore reproductive freedom for all.
