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.

Trump officials want to close a facility in Hamden that protects our forests and farms from invasive species. Insects are now responsible for a quarter of tree deaths across the Northeast! We can't afford to turn back the clock on these research efforts.

Instead of working with Democrats to strengthen Social Security, Trump and DOGE continue their efforts to dismantle and privatize this vital program in order to give tax breaks to the wealthy. Congress must act now to protect Americans' hard-earned benefits and ensure they can

Tens of millions of Americans on Social Security rely on it to survive. Trump and the Republicans want to slash their support so billionaires can get more tax cuts. That's criminal! Let's enhance Social Security by making the wealthy pay their fair share. We have a plan!

The Trump administration pushed out over 8,000 Social Security staffers, including many of the most experienced and skilled. Now they claim service has improved. Americans who are stuck on the phone for hours, and can't get in-person appointments for months, know better.

Inflation is on the rise, thanks to the war in Iran and the failed Trump agenda. While he's hosting MMA fights at the White House, Democrats are fighting to make life more affordable for you. It's time to end his illegal war, cancel his costly tariffs, and suspend the gas tax.

Social Security hasn’t been expanded in decades and people are living paycheck to paycheck as prices soar. But the Trump admin is saying we should be grateful. @RepJohnLarson:

Republicans keep pushing for a national abortion ban and remain hell-bent on restricting access to birth control. Enough is enough! I just signed @RepFletcher's petition to force a House vote on our Right to Contraception Act. I'll always stand up for reproductive freedom.
