Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, representing Connecticut's 3rd District since 1991, engaged with her Twitter audience through a series of posts. DeLauro's tweets addressed issues related to cuts in public services and their broader implications, including the impact of economic policies on the working class and public health.

On April 2, 2025, DeLauro criticized the Trump administration in her tweet that warned about the consequences of cutting resources intended to assist with heating and cooling for millions of Americans. She stated: "The Trump admin cut the team that helps millions afford heat in winter & AC in deadly heat. People will suffer—all to fund billionaire tax breaks." DeLauro further commented that Trump, despite his promises to lower costs for the working class, was exacerbating conditions.

Continuing on April 3, 2025, she commented on the conversation around tariffs and basketball, presenting it with a sporting analogy: "Right now everyone is either talking tariffs or basketball, so let's break this down Final Four style." This tweet was placed within the context of current events, using humor to engage her audience.

Later on April 3, 2025, DeLauro expressed concern over the economic and health ramifications of job losses for scientists and their effect on local economies, stressing the health risks to Americans as a consequence of spending cuts by Republicans. She stated: "It’s not just about scientists losing their jobs or damaging local economies their work supports — it’s about the health of thousands of Americans." DeLauro warned about the health dangers that Americans could face due to these Republican budgetary decisions.
