Runaway energy costs are putting a heavy strain on too many RIers. Leading bipartisan effort to demand Trump Admin swiftly releases $4 billion in LIHEAP assistance that helps vulnerable families & seniors afford their energy bills & stay warm in cold winter months.

Secretary Hegseth’s partisan attempt to use the military justice system against Senator Mark Kelly is an outrageous abuse of power.

This is political retribution straight from the autocrat playbook. It has no place in America. And it won’t work.

Libraries & museums are beloved community institutions and IMLS supports their critical work.

In big win for the public, Trump Admin has been barred from dismantling IMLS and undercutting federal support for public libraries & museums.

I’ll continue to champion these crucial community assets.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s the tremendous 2025 inductees of the RI Aviation Hall of Fame!

Today would’ve been U.S. Senator Claiborne Pell’s 107th birthday. Thinking of my predecessor, mentor, & friend and the indelible mark his legacy of service made on our state, nation, & world.

If Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and democracy are all negotiated by Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Moscow without Ukraine then that is not a ‘deal’ at all. It would make Ukraine, America, and our allies less safe.

No American should go hungry.

Visited Federal Hill House Swiss Street Food Pantry to see their incredible work helping neighbors in need & to tout legislation to reverse Trump’s reckless SNAP cuts and restore nutrition assistance.

We’ve made real progress in the last few years fighting the overdose crisis & saving lives. I urge the Trump Admin not to reverse that progress.

AI is a complex, powerful, evolving technology that deserves careful scrutiny & balanced oversight. There should be no deal that gives Big Tech free rein & takes away states’ rights & ability to protect their citizens.
Democrats fighting to preserve states’ ability to regulate AI
The issue is roaring back to life during defense bill talks after President Donald Trump urged Republicans to act; the Senate had voted 99-1 against a state-level moratorium.

Clinical trials not only provide answers for scientists & researchers, they provide hope for patients & families.

We’ve got to reverse Trump’s troubling “take-a-sledgehammer-to-all-things health approach” and restore critical funding for research & protecting public health.

After unnecessary roadblocks & needless delay, Congress voted overwhelmingly to release the Epstein files. Anyone connected to Epstein’s heinous crimes must be held accountable. Americans deserve the truth & Epstein’s victims deserve justice and full disclosure.

Upgrading RIPTA’s fleet to newer, energy-efficient buses results in more reliable rides, cleaner air, & lower costs for taxpayers. Proud to help deliver another $25 million to help steer RI toward a cleaner energy future.

The Trump Administration continues its war on public education & flouting the law. From K-12 education to college affordability to research and freedom of inquiry, the Trump Admin. is undermining public schools, our students, & our economic future.
Trump administration to announce dismantling of some of Education Dept.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March seeking to close the department, but only Congress has the power to do that.

Trump’s ad hoc tariffs are irresponsible, ineffective, & costing you money. The Trump Admin must stop raising prices on Americans & reverse course.
Trump goes on defense over tariffs as prices on everyday items keep rising
The rollback of import taxes on coffee, bananas and many other foods is the latest sign that the administration could be forced to shift course.

Pres. Trump’s reckless tariffs are brewing up economic volatility, uncertainty, and higher prices for American businesses & consumers alike. Visited PVD’s Mills Coffee to hear how they’re dealing w/ Trump’s price hikes & discuss my bipartisan bill to eliminate Trump’s coffee tax.
