The Trump Admin’s reckless & abrupt cancelation of SAMHSA grants will have a devastating impact.
These federal investments not only save lives, they reduce strain on hospitals & law enforcement while strengthening families & communities.

Senate Republicans have once again moved to increase health care costs.
Extending ACA tax credits will immediately help millions of Americans afford their coverage. Instead, Republicans would rather do nothing to lower your costs.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked an extension of the ACA tax credits. AGAIN.
This legislation passed the House with BIPARTISAN support. Republicans are playing games while your health care premiums more than double.

This isn’t just about Senator Kelly’s rights. It’s about your first amendment rights & the rights of all veterans.
In America, you’re allowed to disagree with the government without the government unfairly punishing you.
I hope the court moves to curb Trump Admin’s authoritarian impulses.

Once again, President Trump loses in a court of law.
His indefensible, job-killing order to needlessly halt Revolution Wind, weeks away from delivering cheaper & cleaner power to RIers, has been overturned.

The Fed sets interest rates based on economic data & what’s best for Americans.
For Trump, the best interests of the American people matter less than his political goals.
That’s why the Trump DOJ is attacking the Fed.

Last week, 17 House Republicans finally stood up against Trump & voted to extend ACA tax credits and lower health care costs.
Now, Senate Republicans must do the same & join Dems to protect affordable health care for millions of Americans.

The Trump economy is not working for working Americans. Pres. Trump’s tariffs are driving up costs & his billionaire giveaways are hurting Main Street.
I’m fighting for lower costs & economic policies that work for everyday RIers.

Five Republicans voted against Trump as U.S. Senate voted 52-47 to advance a resolution curbing Pres. Trump’s Venezuela war powers. More work remains, but this is a step in the right direction.

At the same time the Trump Admin is making health care more expensive for families, it is weakening the health of children and our communities.
Trump, RFK dramatically overhaul child vaccine schedule
The move is a public health gamble that assumes children's health won't be endangered by cutting the shots they get.

Trump’s attack on offshore wind is really an attack on our economy. He’s jacking up energy bills, firing thousands of union workers, & leaving our nation behind.
We need more energy in order to bring down costs. Trump is leading us in the wrong direction.

Pres. Trump’s outdated energy policies have already spiked energy bills by 13% this year. This re-do attempt to stop Revolution Wind is bad for our economy & environment, kills good-paying union jobs, & does absolutely nothing to lower costs.
