Because we passed the Inflation Reduction Act, no senior will pay more than $2,000 annually on their prescriptions starting next year. The average Medicare Part D enrollee will save $1,100 in out-of-pocket costs!

Some of us were born at night...but not last night.    Republicans had an opportunity to protect IVF, and they turned their backs on the American people. Just a reminder. 👇

“President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, along with The Post’s editorial, call for scrapping the payroll cap on high-income earners. This would extend solvency and allow Congress to enhance benefits,” Rep. John Larson (D) writes. wapo.st/3AEMddj

60 years ago, the Food Stamp Act was signed into law to ensure low-income Americans can afford nutritious food to feed their families. Democrats are committed to addressing food insecurity and protecting programs like SNAP and WIC from Republicans’ devastating cuts.

This listeria outbreak is our nation’s largest since 2011. Recalled deli products are marked with an "EST. 12612" or "P-12612" label. To stay safe, do not eat the recalled products, clean your refrigerator, and seek treatment if you develop symptoms. cdc.gov/media/releases…

As cold and flu season approaches, seniors on Medicare Part D can receive the vaccines they need to stay healthy at no-cost thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. Democrats are committed to lowering health care costs for our seniors and American families!

Two years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, 22 states have restricted abortion rights. Now, Project 2025 would impose a nationwide abortion ban & limit access to birth control. I trust women to make their own health care decisions, not right-wing politicians.

While Republicans push for cuts to Social Security, like raising the retirement age, Democrats have a plan to protect & enhance benefits for the first time in 50+ years. We're fighting to strengthen your hard-earned benefits, not cut them. It’s time to pass Social Security 2100!

I joined Jahana Hayes to introduce the School Hunger Elimination Act. Our bill will combat food insecurity by reducing barriers for access to free and reduced-cost school meals. We must ensure more kids have access to the nutrition they need to grow and thrive at school!

I was in East Hartford this morning to announce $625,000 in new federal funding we secured for the Fire Department. This grant will improve readiness and community safety & support new equipment to ensure our firefighters can stay safe in the line of duty.

My heart is with the families impacted by the horrific gun violence in Georgia, where four people were killed and 30 were injured. Our kids should be able to go to school without living in fear of violence. We must work together to prevent these tragedies. It's long overdue.

No politician should override a private medical decision. Health care bans are discriminatory, limiting access for transgender Americans. I filed a brief with 163 Members of Congress urging the Court to block Tennessee's extreme health care ban & protect trans Americans' rights.

I met with seniors in Southington this morning to discuss our efforts to strengthen Social Security and cut taxes for seniors. Congress hasn't acted to enhance the program in 50+ years. Social Security 2100 will expand benefits, cut taxes, and extend solvency for years to come!

I've been proud to help secure more than $2 million in federal funding for the East Hartford Fire Department over the past 3 years. These funds are supporting training and better equipment to ensure our firefighters are safe on the job.

While working people pay their taxes with every paycheck, billions go uncollected from the wealthy each year. With new resources we secured to hold wealthy tax cheats accountable, The IRS has collected $1.3 billion in unpaid taxes from the top one percent!cbsnews.com/news/irs-recov…

The U.S. added another 142,000 jobs during August for a total of nearly 16 million jobs created under the Biden-Harris Administration. With wages rising and unemployment at historic lows, Democrats are building an economy that works for everyone!

Trump’s "plan" for Social Security is unpaid for and will only hurt the Trust Fund.   Social Security 2100 will cut taxes for seniors, enhance benefits, and extend the program's solvency by making the wealthy pay their fair share! reuters.com/world/us/endin…
