Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) announced the introduction of the No TSA Data for ICE Act outside the Hartford ICE field office. It would immediately cut off the coordination between the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that enabled recent covert operations...

They may claim Donald Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund for him and his allies is dead, but he still secured a deal that will let the Trump family off the hook for $100 million in back taxes! I introduced a bill to stop this corrupt "settlement" in its tracks. Let's have a vote!

As more of our troops are killed in Iran, and gas prices continue to skyrocket at home, Congress cannot sit on its hands. I introduced a bill to immediately defund this illegal war, and block Donald Trump or any future president from waging war without Congressional approval.

18 servicemembers have died. Energy prices are soaring. Today, we voted again to end the illegal war in Iran. Any Republican not calling on Trump to come before Congress is complicit in a lie that we are not at war. Enough is enough. Congress needs to enforce the War Powers Act.

Joan Sebastian Guerrero and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should still be with us today. ICE operates above the law, terrorizing our communities and killing people in our streets. Secretary Mullin has done nothing to rein in Trump's Department of Homeland Security. He needs to resign.

50 million more Americans have coverage thanks to the Affordable Care Act. Seniors are saving on their prescriptions because we strengthened Medicare. There's more to do. In the wealthiest nation in the world, no one should go without healthcare. It's time for Medicare for All.

Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) spoke in support of the Essential Caregivers Act in the Ways and Means Committee, his bill to allow residents in nursing homes and similar facilities to designate two loved ones as “essential caregivers” during public health emergencies. It advanced out of committee on a bipartisan...

Trump isn't interested in peace. He's putting our troops in harm's way as he ramps up his war of choice with Iran. Servicemembers have died. Americans have paid $56 BILLION more at the pump. I'm fighting to end this illegal war and suspend the gas tax to bring prices down now!

Reps. John B. Larson (CT-01) and Joe Courtney (CT-02) joined with local lawmakers, advocates, and homeowners to applaud last week’s bipartisan passage of H.R. 9500 in the Ways and Means Committee, which includes their Casualty Loss Deduction Restoration Act, and call on House leadership to swiftly bring the bill...

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!

Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) and every member of the House Ways and Means Committee voted to send H.R. 9496 to the House floor, bipartisan legislation that includes Larson and Rep. Joe Courtney’s Casualty Loss Deduction Restoration Act, to allow homeowners impacted by crumbling foundations due to pyrrhotite to...

Trump’s edict ending birthright citizenship was not only illegal—it was unconscionable. 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!

At a Ways and Means Committee hearing on sports, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) spoke out about the need to act on the issues keeping families and seniors up at night, from rising gas prices to Social Security benefit cuts.

Last week, ICE descended upon a parking lot in West Hartford—guns drawn—to abduct a local small business owner. That's not the America we know. Seyo's son, Emir, is demanding justice. He must be released, and ICE should be disbanded! I'll always stand with immigrant families.

76,000 kids with special needs in Connecticut rely on federally funded school programs, but Donald Trump and Linda McMahon want to dismantle the Office of Special Education. They'd rather hand out tax breaks to their wealthy friends. We'll fight these cuts every step of the way!
