Member of Congress representing the First District of Connecticut.

Elon Musk called Social Security a Ponzi scheme and Donald Trump called it a scam. Make no mistake - they want to slash & privatize Americans' benefits.

My resolution compels them to provide answers, but Republicans are trying to stop it from even coming to a vote in the House.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

During Suicide Prevention Month, we stand with all families impacted by suicide and commit to expanding mental healthcare and support systems for everyone.

You are never alone. If you or a loved one is struggling, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Trump will stop at nothing to get in the way of a free and fair election. His cronies have already pressured states to purge citizens from voter rolls.

His new attack on mail-in voting must not stand. We filed a brief urging the Supreme Court to block it. https://t.co/QfqWpuOs8E

Under Donald Trump, grocery bills and energy costs are skyrocketing. This Labor Day weekend, families felt the squeeze of his costly tariffs and illegal Iran War. I’m fighting to make life more affordable for you and hold this president accountable for his failed agenda!

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

This Labor Day, we celebrate the hard-working Americans who keep our nation moving forward.

As Trump continues to threaten collective bargaining and job protections, I remain committed to defending the right to organize. I'll never use my position to undermine a union contract.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Donald Trump will do anything with your tax dollars to feed his ego, even building an arch without approval that obstructs the sacred grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.

Congress needs to pass our bill to stop this brazen insult to our veterans now! https://t.co/jFXLDcTer2

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

It's been one year since the Trump Administration launched illegal boat strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific.

Secretary Hegseth even allegedly gave unlawful orders to kill civilians.

He's shown a pattern of unbecoming conduct. Pete Hegseth needs to resign or face impeachment.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Gloria Steinem, a trailblazer who broke barriers for women and championed dignity, equality, and justice for all. Her wit, wisdom, and leadership inspired generations, and her legacy will continue to guide us forward. https://t.co/QdJEkiLWoD

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Proud to announce a $240 million contract to advance the development of the Pratt & Whitney F135 modernization program. This new contract will make good on the legislation we passed to ensure the next generation of engines is built by Connecticut workers. https://t.co/MEJ8ahzogw

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

The President's lackeys have officially put coins with his face on them into circulation.

They won't do anything to lower costs at the pump or grocery store, but they'll violate federal law to boost Trump's ego.

Americans need real action to bring down prices, not these stunts.

[ABC News @ABC]

JUST IN: The U.S. Mint announced that $1 coins featuring President Trump's likeness have entered circulation and can be purchased on its website. https://t.co/R3jz7H95oJ

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

The funding bill we passed today:

❌Blocks new money for ICE and Border Patrol
🏘️Restores support for affordable housing
⚓️Rejects funding for "Trump-class" battleships
💰Stops the MAGA takeover of federal grants

I'll keep fighting to hold Trump accountable and lower costs.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

We're back in session, and I'm still determined to bring down your costs and hold the Trump Administration accountable.

House Republicans are all too eager to do Trump's bidding. Once again, they're pushing his "SAVE Act," which would throw the midterms into chaos.

I voted NO!

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

🚨A whistleblower from the Post Office is alleging that Trump lackeys are creating a system to make it nearly impossible for you to vote by mail in November.🚨

This is a direct attack on your right to vote. Their illegal election meddling must not stand! https://t.co/QuxHEXSxqn

President Trump covertly redirected nearly $1 BILLION of your tax dollars to build his ballroom, even after Congress rejected his funding request.
 
As families struggle to make ends meet, they don't want to see their hard-earned money spent on a golden ballroom for Donald Trump.

[NBC News @NBCNews]

BREAKING: Supreme Court allows Trump to move forward with White House ballroom construction. https://t.co/otSgaEnpjm

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

The average household has had to pay $3,800 more since Trump took office.

His costly tariffs, illegal war, and healthcare cuts are driving up prices everywhere you look.

Democrats are ready to act. We need to suspend the gas tax and cut off all funding for Trump’s war in Iran!

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Donald Trump's unconstitutional order will not stand. Everyone should be able to cast their ballot without fear.

Whether it's his discriminatory SAVE Act, or his attempt to hand control of our elections to his cronies, we'll keep fighting these attacks! https://t.co/UJHpaqWk0H

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Six months ago, Trump launched the war in Iran. At least twenty servicemembers have been killed, and energy prices are soaring at home.

Congress voted to end this costly conflict once and for all. It's time to bring our troops home and cut off all funding for this illegal war.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

63 years ago, over 200,000 people joined Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for the March on Washington, demanding equality and economic justice for Black Americans.
As Dr. King would say, we must act with that same fierce urgency of now to defend civil rights and fairness for all today.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

While his tariffs drive up prices at the grocery store, pharmacy, and everywhere you shop, Donald Trump is focused on petty name changes no one asked for.

As families foot the bill for the failed Trump agenda, Republicans in Congress need to stop doing his bidding and act.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: We’re going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. Effective immediately. It’s going to take place as sign this order.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

ICE has only continued their Gestapo tactics. They've torn mothers from their children, executed citizens in the streets, and targeted peaceful protesters.

Now, they're snatching parents from bus stops as kids go back to school. It's time to abolish ICE! https://t.co/UOVVwqw49o
