Jahana Hayes, a U.S. Congress representative for Connecticut's 5th district, has recently communicated through social media about significant developments and issues she is addressing. Her tweets on January 28, 2025, cover a variety of topics including her activities in Congress and the impact of federal funding decisions.

In a tweet posted at 14:25 UTC on January 28, Hayes invited followers to subscribe to her newsletter which provides updates on her weekly congressional activities. She shared, "We’ve put together a short video recap of our Weekly Wrap. Subscribe today to receive my full newsletter which highlights my week in Congress and keeps you informed on how my work impacts you."

Later that day at 22:53 UTC, Hayes expressed concern over a decision by President Trump regarding federal funding. She stated that the pause on federal funding threatens essential programs such as LIHEAP, SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, and Head Start. Hayes emphasized the collective effort in Connecticut to protect these services by asserting that "President Trump has paused all federal funding. This puts vital programs like LIHEAP, SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, and Head Start at risk...This order is unlawful."

At almost the same time as her previous post at 22:53 UTC, Hayes posted another message directing readers to an official statement available online: "My statement: https://t.co/fObGERnT2u".
