Rosa DeLauro, a seasoned member of the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut’s 3rd district since 1991, has taken to social media to express her concerns regarding several actions by the current administration. DeLauro, who succeeded Bruce Morrison in Congress and is an alumna of Marymount College, Tarrytown, continues to actively voice her perspectives on legislative matters.
On June 4, 2025, DeLauro tweeted about the separation of powers outlined in the Constitution, emphasizing that “The Constitution makes it clear: Congress, not the White House holds the power of the purse.” She invited followers to join her and other Democratic appropriations members in a hearing with OMB Director Russ Vought to discuss what she described as “the Administration’s illegal stealing of American dollars.”
In another tweet posted later that day at 19:07 UTC, DeLauro criticized her Republican colleagues for their perceived inaction against former President Trump and his associates. She stated firmly that “Unlike my Republican colleagues, I won’t stand idly by while Trump and his minions rob the American people.”
Further expressing concern over administrative decisions impacting public welfare, DeLauro highlighted issues within food safety regulations in a tweet at 20:01 UTC. She pointed out that “The administration fired thousands of UDSA workers responsible for keeping our food safe.” This action has led to increased ground beef prices and outbreaks of E. coli. DeLauro criticized these outcomes as deliberate attempts by the administration to increase costs while reducing healthcare access.
Rosa DeLauro was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1943 and continues to reside there at age 80.
