Rep. John Larson, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut's 1st district, shared a series of tweets on February 4 and 5, 2025. The tweets express concerns about privacy issues, funding freezes affecting infrastructure projects, and his commitment to engaging with constituents regarding the Trump Administration.

On February 4, 2025, Rep. Larson addressed concerns over Elon Musk's access to personal information: "Elon Musk has gained access to the sensitive personal information of millions of Americans. Why does he need that? While Musk and Trump plan to gut vital programs like Social Security to hand out more tax cuts for the wealthy, I’m fighting to protect your hard-earned benefits!"

Later that day, Rep. Larson commented on an issue related to funding for infrastructure projects: "Trump's illegal funding 'freeze' has blocked funds for infrastructure projects that support good-paying jobs and economic growth in our communities, including more than $8 million right here in Connecticut. Our state's delegation is demanding answers!" This statement highlights his concern over financial impediments impacting local economic development.

In a tweet posted on February 5, 2025, Rep. Larson emphasized his efforts to engage with constituents: "Last week, I held forums in East Hartford, Glastonbury, and Hartford to hear directly from you. People are concerned about what the Trump Administration will mean for them. I'm working to hold this Administration accountable & deliver real results for my constituents." His message reflects ongoing dialogue with residents and accountability measures towards governmental actions.
