Rosa DeLauro, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut's 3rd district, has voiced her concerns on several key issues via Twitter. Known for her active participation in legislative matters since she took office in 1991, DeLauro addressed topics including corporate regulations and healthcare cuts.
On February 19, 2025, DeLauro criticized shipping companies for profiting from "uninspected, untaxed foreign packages" and urged the Trump Administration to address this issue. She stated that "The Trump Administration needs to stop catering to corporations & close this loophole to protect American jobs and keep fentanyl out."
Later that day, DeLauro expressed skepticism about budget proposals affecting Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA). She tweeted at 22:17 UTC that "You claim you won’t cut Medicaid and the ACA, but your budget proposal says otherwise—with over $880 billion in cuts." Her remarks reflect a concern over potential reductions in health coverage.
In a subsequent tweet posted one minute later at 22:17 UTC, she elaborated on the implications of these proposed cuts for her constituents. According to DeLauro, "These cuts to Medicaid & the Affordable Care Act means 31,000 people who receive coverage under the ACA in CT-03 would see their avg premium go up by $1,460 per year— a 56% increase." Furthermore, she highlighted that over 133,872 individuals on Medicaid could lose their healthcare access.
