John B. Larson, a veteran congressman representing Connecticut’s 1st district, shared several tweets covering sports, immigration policy, and urban development in early 2025. An advocate for his constituents, Larson often leverages his platform to engage with issues affecting his district and beyond.

On March 31, 2025, Larson expressed his support for the University of Connecticut's women's basketball team. He stated, "Let’s go #UConnNation! @UConnWBB dominated the game this weekend. We're rooting for you in the Elite Eight tonight. Connecticut is the Basketball Capital of the World!"

In another tweet dated April 1, 2025, Larson addressed concerns regarding immigration enforcement. "Like many of my constituents, I was alarmed to hear about the President's order allowing ICE to target hospitals, churches, and schools," he stated, announcing his collaboration with other lawmakers on a legislative proposal to safeguard immigrants' access to essential services.

Finally, Larson turned his attention to economic and housing issues on April 1, 2025. He wrote about the conversion of unused office spaces into housing, mentioning bipartisan efforts to revitalize urban areas. He proclaimed, "Coming out of the pandemic, there are far too many unused office spaces in cities like Hartford that could be converted into housing." Larson introduced legislation in partnership with other Congress members to foster economic growth through new housing initiatives.
