Today House Appropriations Democrats are marking up Republicans’ proposed Military Construction and Veterans funding bill.
 
Instead of working with us to write bills that can pass, they are wasting Americans’ time with more chaos and partisan charades. Watch here at 6 PM⬇️ youtu.be/g6FXwI6C0FM

Thanks to President Biden, more than 1 million PACT ACT claims have now been granted.

I proudly supported the PACT ACT— one of the largest healthcare & benefits expansions in VA history. Veterans deserve life-saving care.

Today, we continue that commitment.

Rosa DeLauro Lori Wallach Lina Khan Earl Blumenauer Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro wraps up:

'Trade is good. But like any good thing without guardrails good is disastrous. I look forward to a new era of trade policy that recognizes this fact, and puts people not corporations in charge.'

Rosa DeLauro Lori Wallach Congresswoman: 'Finally, I believe we are at a turning point on trade and anti-trust.' Believes we have a unique opportunity right now to make change.

Says of Lina Khan, 'What a hell of a job she is doing!'

Rosa DeLauro Lori Wallach The Congresswoman on trade: 'When you get self-interested corporations - they should not be allowed to write all of the rules.'

Audience claps in response.

It's almost time for our trade panel moderated by Rosa DeLauro and featuring Thea Lee Scott Paul Lori Wallach!

I am honored to have joined the 12th annual Friends Center Family Stroll this past weekend.

There are few issues as close to my heart as providing affordable high-quality childcare. We must keep fighting for more accessible child care options for our working families.

Yesterday I had the pleasure to present the Stratford YMCA redevelopment project with $1.3 million in federal funding.
 
Investments like this go directly into helping our community thrive and provide development opportunities and resources for healthy living.

Last summer, we opened an investigation into SHEIN and Temu following widespread forced labor allegations.

This weekend, I had the pleasure of joining the Guilford PRIDE parade! 🏳️‍🌈
 
Events like this remind us of the importance of being who you are and celebrating the beauty and diversity of the LGBTQI+ community.

I'm pleased to announce the former Stratford Army Engine Plant property has been formally conveyed by the Army to longtime collaborator Point Stratford Renewal.

I look forward to the project getting started & the role the updated Point Stratford will play in Stratford's future.

🚨The Republican's partisan #FarmBill text would make the largest cut to SNAP in nearly 30 years.🚨

Weakening our ability to feed the most vulnerable members of our communities is shortsighted and wrong.

Read Ranking Member @RepDavidScott's statement: democrats-agriculture.house.gov/news/documents…

Since its formation, thanks to the hard work of Elizabeth Warren, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has recovered more than $20 billion for consumers.
 
Today's Supreme Court decision is a huge win for working people and will allow consumerfinance.gov to continue its vital work.

Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro: Today's announcement by House Republicans of drastic cuts to critical programs and services shows they have learned nothing from last year's chaos. democrats-appropriations.house.gov/news/press-rel…

In collaboration with Department of State, we are hosting a Passport Day at the Branford Blackstone Library on Saturday, June 8th from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Please be advised to call my office, this is an appointment-based event.

🚨BIG: Rosa DeLauro amplifies FTC's finding of oil price-fixing at today's oversight hearing.

'Energy companies would rather collude with a cartel than let the free market determine the price at the pump.'

'This shows why we must do everything we can to support the FTC.'🔥🔥

While American families struggle with rising costs, we must ensure agencies like the FTC have the resources they need to protect consumers and stand against corporate greed.

I’m joining House Appropriations Democrats now to ensure we are supporting this critical agency⬇️youtu.be/6zzeK4dF2MY

In 2023, @senduckworth, @senkevincramer, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, and @repbarbaralee re-introduced the End Diaper Need Act in the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. Learn how this bill would help to alleviate #DiaperNeed and take action at the link in our bio!

Today is a perfect example of why I brought back Community Project Funding!

Expanding The Friends Center for Children's location will provide greater childcare access for our community.

Infrastructure investments into childcare protects the financial security of families.

I am proud of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the $3.5 billion allocated for the Superfund cleanup to move remediation projects like Raymark forward.
 
This is a great day for Stratford!
