WASHINGTON — House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) issued the following statement on President Trump failing to submit a full budget, making this year’s budget the latest ever sent to Congress:

Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03), Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, and Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Senate Appropriations Committee Vice Chair, sent a letter to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought calling out the Trump administration’s unacceptable failure to submit detailed spend plans for each agency to the Appropriations Committees, as the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act of 2025 requires by law.

House Appropriations Committee and Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) issued the following statement on a federal court’s ruling that President Trump and Secretary McMahon are illegally dismantling the Department of Education.

Today, the non-partisan Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a decision on its investigation into the withholding of appropriated funding at the Department of Transportation for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (NEVI). This decision confirmed what we already knew: Elon Musk and President Trump’s attacks on American families and businesses have been unlawful.

The Trump Administration released its Army Corps work plans that show President Trump is politicizing critical infrastructure investments.

Washington, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03), Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee and the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Ranking Member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies, sent a letter to Secretary Linda McMahon calling out the Department’s failure to provide public K-12 schools across the nation the timely notice they usually receive about federal funding they count on—and urging McMahon to put an end to the harmful delays.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, alongside Rep. Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (D-Va.), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Education and Workforce, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies on the Senate Appropriations Committee, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Ranking Member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, today sent a letter to the Interim Agency Head of AmeriCorps calling for the immediate reversal of layoffs and grant terminations that have debilitated the agency’s core functions and run counter to its longstanding, bipartisan support in Congress.

WASHINGTON — While President Trump and Republicans in Congress claim they support law enforcement, the Trump Administration’s actions tell a very different story. Instead of investing in law enforcement and our police officers, President Trump’s budget defunds public safety to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
