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]

It's been a year since Republicans passed the Big, Ugly Bill. They kicked millions off healthcare and SNAP to give tax breaks to billionaires. They gave Trump $75 BILLION to turn ICE into his personal army.

I'm fighting to reverse these cuts, bring down costs, and disband ICE!

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

It was joyous celebrating Seyo’s release from ICE custody. We proudly stood with the Cecunjanins, @SenBlumenthal and the West Hartford community.

Diversity is our strength. We won’t stand for these out-of-control raids that separate families and strike fear in people’s hearts.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Trump officials are putting a "Freedom250" partisan logo on new Social Security cards.

Are tax dollars being used to brand these cards? Are the American people paying this Trump-backed group for these advertisements? We need answers!

WELCOME HOME, SEYO!! We were so relieved to get the call we’d been hoping for last night, letting us know he was back home in West Hartford. Our community sent a powerful message: we will not stand by as ICE ambushes our neighbors. Seyo is back where he belongs — with his family.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

The West Hartford community was shaken when ICE took Seyo away from his family in a Dunkin' Donuts parking lot. @SenBlumenthal, @rosadelauro, @jahimes, and I are demanding answers about his detention and calling for his immediate release from ICE custody.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

🚨Officials just announced that a partisan logo will be put on new Social Security cards, advertising a Trump-backed group that employs former 'DOGE' staffers.

Are tax dollars being used for this? Was this entity given access to private records?

Questions need to be answered!

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Environmental injustices are apparent in our infrastructure. You only have to look at the highways in Hartford to see it, where the North End was cut off from downtown by I-84 and I-91. I'll continue to bring home funding to help reconnect the city and recapture our riverfront.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Troops, teachers, nurses, and first responders shouldn’t lose out on student loan forgiveness because Donald Trump thinks they don't align with the MAGA agenda.

Proud to stand with @AGWilliamTong, who fought in court to stop the President's cruel plan to bully public servants.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

A federal judge struck down the Trump administration’s restrictions on a popular student-loan-forgiveness program for public servants, a day before the new rules were set to take effect. https://t.co/WBn7IDp0Bd

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Donald Trump is not a king, and the Constitution does not bend to his whim. He tried to strip citizenship from millions of children who were born in the United States, and he failed.

While this case should have never even made it to the Supreme Court, the rule of law prevailed.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Families are struggling, but that won’t stop Trump from spending your money on his vanity projects.

He gave his buddy millions for the Reflecting Pool rush job, and now he's hiding a $500 MILLION ballroom contract. We'll continue to fight this illegal waste of taxpayer dollars!

[John Hudson @John_Hudson]

White House officials secretly awarded a no-bid contract worth up to $500m for the construction of the East Wing ballroom in an unusual arrangement that sidestepped typical contracting procedures designed to control costs, according to a copy of the agreement

Rain, sleet, or shine, postal workers show up for us all. Every day, they connect our communities, delivering life-saving medication to birthday cards and ballots.

On National Postal Workers Day, we honor their hard work, dedication to service, and vital role in our democracy.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

ICE has been terrorizing our communities for long enough.

Just last week, they took Seyo from his family in West Hartford, handcuffing him with guns drawn outside a Dunkin' on Park Road.

This is wrong. Seyo should be released from custody, and ICE should be disbanded!

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Tax dollars should be used to make life more affordable for families. Trump is demanding $70 BILLION for his illegal war in Iran, but not a penny for you. That’s enough money to cut healthcare premiums in half for 20 million Americans. They need to get their priorities straight!

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Flooding has hit the Naugatuck Valley hard, putting homes and businesses at risk. I joined @ChrisMurphyCT, @SenBlumenthal, and Southington leaders to announce $300,000 in new funding to better prepare the Plantsville community for extreme weather events. https://t.co/SeGMYoBqSO

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Congress passed a bill to build more homes and bring down housing costs. Trump called it a "big yawn."

He even said he wants to "drive housing prices up," and won't sign it unless Republicans pass his Jim Crow voting restrictions to rig the midterms.

He has no plan for you.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Trump’s edict ending birthright citizenship was not only illegal—it was unconscionable. Today, the Supreme Court upheld the rule of law and struck it down.

We will not allow this president to rewrite the Constitution, so he can target our community members. Keep speaking out!

[State Senator MD Rahman @MDRahmanCT]

Stood with @RepJohnLarson @SenBlumenthal calling for release of Seyo Cecunjanin in West Hartford. Hardworking immigrant who built businesses & became a community pillar. As an immigrant myself, I know this story. We must stand up for those strengthening our communities.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Flight Attendants have the right to organize without interference or intimidation. I’m proud to support @DeltaAFA and call on Delta management to commit to supporting their workers.

Union busting won't fly! It never has. It never will.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Trump's illegal war has sent gas prices soaring. His policies have pushed automatic Social Security benefit cuts closer than ever.

We have a plan to lower gas prices. We have a plan to protect Social Security and enhance benefits.

Republicans won't bring them up for a vote!

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Seyo’s abduction by ICE—guns drawn outside Dunkin’ Donuts—shook the West Hartford community. We stand together with the Cecunjanins fighting for Seyo’s release. ICE is tearing families apart and striking fear in the hearts of immigrant communities. Enough!
