Americans deserve to know what they've contributed to #SocialSecurity and what they can expect to receive in benefits. That's why I've introduced the Know Your Social Security Act with to require @SSA to mail statements to eligible workers. https://t.co/6CVJvYizmM
This access was set to expire on June 30th, but I led a letter to @CMSGov urging them extend it. GOOD NEWS: CMS announced that they've extended access before it was set to expire on June 30th. I will continue to fight to make this access permanent! https://t.co/H3aTYX5AxH
In 2017 my bill to extend access to wheelchair accessories for Medicare beneficiaries became law. These complex wheelchair accessories are vital to people with degenerative diseases like ALS who need them to live their lives. https://t.co/CQBGVF8rBc
I can’t say this enough: @Rosa_DeLauro showed outstanding leadership in the fight for the #ChildTaxCredit and I was so proud to stand with her. When you receive your payment next month, make sure to thank her! QT @WhiteHouse: On July 15th, nearly all working families will start seeing $250 to $300 per child automatically deposited in their… https://t.co/TApyvb3q8E)
Congratulations to Manchester High School's first black female valedictorian, Soraya Chanterelle! https://t.co/1rd5Ea0qD0
Did @FoxNews just try to equate my 2016 gun violence sit-in w/ John Lewis to Republicans protesting mask rules? Here's the difference: we were protesting to save lives, while anti-maskers like @mtgreenee are endangering them. https://t.co/tKMqzDyEJB

We need to increase Social Security benefits and ensure Social Security is funded for generations to come. As we return to normal life, I’m excited to begin working with President Biden on a plan that does just that. Read more in my interview w/ Politico: https://t.co/3oDr2sxYEA
Addressing the climate crisis and our infrastructure deficit will require bold solutions. Today, I reintroduced the America Wins Act to implement a pollution tax to lower greenhouse gas emissions and reinvest in infrastructure, innovation, and the American people! https://t.co/35Qc2Rhacr
This transformative legislation would provide: ✅ paid family leave ✅ universal pre-k ✅ child care ✅ affordable housing and other resources to get parents back to work and children back to learning!
It was great to be at @CRTCT in #Hartford with @SenatorMurphy & @SenatorBlumenthal to talk about the #AmericanFamiliesPlan. I'm so proud to fight for this life changing investment in our families. https://t.co/w7Ta2vKBKk
Individuals making under 75k/families making under 150k will get the full credit of $3,600 per child under 6 years old and 3,000 per child ages 6-18.
The Child Tax Credit made possible by the #AmericanRescuePlan lifts 7,800 kids out of out poverty in #CT01. The average household will receive $2,600 in relief. This is the kind of help families NEED. Thank you @rosadelauro for fighting so tirelessly for this provision.

It’s been a longtime goal of @RiverfrontRecapture to connect our communities and expand access to the CT River. I was proud to be in the North Meadows today to announce the acquisition of land that brings all of us closer to that vision. https://t.co/VgiuyHfAMq
This #NationalVolunteerWeek we thank everyone who has stepped forward over the past year to serve their community during this pandemic by helping out at a food bank, volunteering at a vaccine clinic, & more. Thank you volunteers for all that you do! https://t.co/MVbSmmRFRX
HARTFORD RESIDENTS: No appointment walk-up vaccine clinic TOMORROW outside of Hartford City Hall from 2:00PM-6:30PM. https://t.co/5j849rpZi7
.@CTStateParks has some of the most beautiful parks & trails in the country. Especially this 4.5 mile canal trail that runs parallel to the CT River in #WindsorLocks. Great for bird watching, and for a nice walk along the river. Check it out! https://t.co/SopQWSXUTa
Today we remember & honor the lives of 6 million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust. We can't forget the hate that led to this, & as we experience threats of anti-Semitism & white supremacy around the world we must recommit ourselves to fighting this hate. https://t.co/QzVxdT7lFy
Child care centers have gone above & beyond to support families during this pandemic. I was proud to be with @GovNedLamont and @CT_OEC Commissioner Bye to announce $277 million from the #AmericanRescuePlan to support affordable child care programs for families in CT. https://t.co/BNzXMEjTPk
ATTENTION: CT residents age 16+ will eligible to schedule a vaccine appointment starting TOMORROW. To schedule a vaccine appointment visit https://t.co/PrkzJdDBO0.
11 years ago today the #ACA was passed and signed into law. As chairman of @HouseDemocrats at the time I was at the forefront of this fight. This photo was taken as John Lewis led us in marching to the House floor to go vote on it. I'll keep fighting to protect & strengthen it! https://t.co/PgiiVHouHB
Congratulations @XavierBecerra! As my colleague on the @WaysMeantsCmte and Vice Chair when I was Chair of @HouseDemocrats I witnessed firsthand as he fought tirelessly to expand affordable health care to Americans. I know he’ll be a fierce leader as Secretary of @HHSGov.
#NationalService volunteers have played critical roles in helping their communities respond to the COVID crisis. I’ve introduced ACTION for National Service to honor their commitment by raising their living stipend & helping them pay for their education. https://t.co/xoRm633mKY
It’s #AmeriCorpsWeek! Thank you to all @AmeriCorps members for who have been helping our communities respond & recover from the COVID19 crisis. #NationalService has always united our country during our most challenging times. I've introduced a bill to encourage more of it⬇
Raising the minimum wage would pull nearly 1 million Americans out of poverty & give 27 million Americans a well deserved raise. It's time to get rid of the filibuster and stop the obstruction. #FightFor15 https://t.co/DlDZis7tgT
In most states, a person can be denied housing, education, or the chance to serve on a jury because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. It’s dead wrong. The House just passed the #Equality Act to end this discrimination.
It was great joining the @iQuiltPlan today to discuss the #Hartford400 vision to transform the region’s infrastructure, recapture our riverfront, and reconnect the city. https://t.co/0cxIYQbLmR

@RepJoeCourtney & I introduced legislation to ensure the Administration utilizes the Defense Production Act to support production and distribution of the COVID vaccines. I am glad President-elect Biden plans to invoke DPA to ramp up production of the vaccines & critical supplies.

Our local restaurants make up the fabric of our communities and help drive our local economies. But if we don’t get them help ASAP, many may not survive this crisis. The @SenateGOP need to work with us to include relief for them. It's time to act NOW! https://t.co/VKwTd6u14H

Instead of delivering relief to the American people through the #HeroesAct, Republicans are rushing to confirm a Supreme Court Justice to strike down protections for people with pre-existing conditions and roll back women’s health care. Shameful.

@POTUS’ payroll tax order results in double taxation for American workers (including federal employees), creates confusion for employers and employees & is the first step to dismantling Social Security as we know it.
