Rosa DeLauro, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut’s 3rd district since 1991, expressed concerns over recent policy changes through a series of tweets on March 12, 2025. Her remarks addressed issues related to food assistance programs and Social Security services.
In her first tweet posted at 13:03 UTC, DeLauro criticized President Trump for actions she claims are "making it harder for families to put food on the table and driving up their costs." She pledged to "fight to restore these cut funds so our communities get the support they deserve." The original post can be found here.
Later that day at 15:27 UTC, DeLauro highlighted cuts to two food purchase assistance programs, LFS and LFPA, by the USDA. According to her tweet, these programs provided over $1 billion in funding for schools and food banks to buy from local farms. She warned that "people will go hungry and face higher food costs" if this decision is not reversed. This message is accessible here.
In another statement shared at 20:00 UTC, DeLauro voiced concern over reductions in Social Security phone services. She noted that this change affects "73 million elderly & disabled Americans who rely on them to process claims," describing it as sabotage aligned with Elon Musk's alleged goal of ending Social Security entirely.
