Rosa DeLauro, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Connecticut’s 3rd district since 1991, expressed concerns on July 23, 2025, regarding Republican-led legislative efforts that she argues could undermine American diplomacy and global leadership.
In a tweet posted at 14:32 UTC, DeLauro stated, “All Americans suffer when we abandon our allies and let Russia & China call the shots. By slashing these investments, Republicans are guaranteeing a more dangerous world for everyone. Watch me fight against this dangerous bill: https://t.co/0fq6OGFMU3”.
Later that day at 15:46 UTC, DeLauro publicly addressed Secretary Kennedy in another tweet: “.@SecKennedy you know how to contact me. https://t.co/hMkhAIRUXo https://t.co/r0xuHQdnnv https://t.co/vW9MTRX7qB”.
By the evening of July 23 at 18:40 UTC, she reiterated her criticism of House Republicans’ foreign policy direction by posting: “House Republicans are dismantling American diplomacy, forfeiting American global leadership to China and Russia. Abandoning our allies and turning our back on the world does not make us strong. It makes us weak. It makes us an unreliable ally and an untrustworthy partner.”
DeLauro has served in Congress since replacing Bruce Morrison in 1991 and is known for her longstanding representation of Connecticut’s 3rd District. Born in New Haven in 1943 and residing there today, she holds a BA from Marymount College, Tarrytown (Fact sources: [1](#), [2](#), [3](#), [4](#)).
