Rosa DeLauro To Marco Rubio "Your Budget Cuts Have Killed People" - Liberal Lens

[Rhiannon12866]

Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro didn’t hold back in this explosive hearing—confronting Secretary Marco Rubio over what she calls the “dangerous dismantling” of America’s diplomatic and humanitarian leadership.

🔥 With the Trump administration proposing a shocking 84% cut to the State Department, DeLauro lays out the real-world consequences: halted food aid, defunded disease treatment programs, slashed support for clean water and education in the world’s poorest regions—and yes, human lives already lost.

This hearing exposes how partisan politics and billionaire influence are threatening U.S. national security, global alliances, and the basic values America once stood for. DeLauro also warns about the White House freezing congressionally approved funding—a direct challenge to Congress’s constitutional power of the purse.

Watch as Rep. DeLauro grills Secretary Rubio on:

The illegal purge of inspectors general

The U.S. retreat from global humanitarian aid

The harm done to children and families worldwide

The rise of China and Russia as America cuts diplomacy

The erosion of bipartisan soft power strategy

If you care about U.S. leadership, global stability, or simply doing what’s right—this is a must-watch.
