Rosa DeLauro, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut’s 3rd district since 1991, has utilized social media to address significant topics ranging from sports achievements to pressing socio-economic issues. This article compiles a series of her recent tweets.

On April 6, 2025, DeLauro celebrated the historic victory of the UConn women's basketball team. She stated, "HISTORY MADE! UConn women’s basketball dominates South Carolina 82-59 to claim their 12th national title! An incredible performance from our Huskies to cap off a legendary season. We are proud of you!!"

On April 7, 2025, DeLauro voiced concerns about income inequalities, emphasizing the challenges faced by Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women. She tweeted, "Today, the earnings of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women finally reach last year’s earnings for a non-Hispanic white man. This is unacceptable—We must pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and demand equal pay and economic justice for AANHPI and all women."

DeLauro also addressed public health issues on April 7, 2025, criticizing the actions of a former administration. She asserted, "The Trump admin's disregard for public health is alarming. Over 10,000 federal health workers fired. On this World Health Day, let's be clear: these actions harm public health & put our communities at risk. We should be strengthening health agencies, not dismantling them."
