Price check on Trump! Trump’s reckless tariffs and chaotic agenda continues to make life more expensive for Americans and businesses alike.

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.

Trump Admin’s reckless rollback of clean air safeguards undermines the core mission of the EPA and is bad for your health, the economy, & our environment.

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.

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.

In the wake of the Venezuela military raid, the Trump Admin’s threats to Greenland’s independence are appalling & counterproductive.

5 years after a violent mob sought to overturn the election, we remember the heroic law enforcement officers who bravely defended your vote and the U.S. Capitol & condemn the corrupt pardons of convicted criminals.

Every 2 seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. Donating blood is essential & each donation helps save lives.

Visited the great team at @ribloodcenter.bsky.social today to mark #NationalBloodDonorMonth & thank them for their tremendous work.

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.

Happy New Year, RI!

Honored to present Mr. Joseph Machado from West Warwick w/ the Purple Heart he earned in Vietnam. While it’s been 55 years since Joe was wounded in combat serving in the Army, we are forever grateful for his service & sacrifice to our nation.

Here on Hope Street checking in with small businesses & seeing lots of RIers braving the weather to be with their community today.

Kudos to Asher & team at Frog and Toad for the outstanding work they’re doing to raise support for Brown’s Student Emergency Support Fund.

Public libraries are community assets, offering a variety of important services and resources to all. I’ll continue working to provide federal support for public libraries and ensure they continue to evolve & grow with the communities they serve.

Many holiday shoppers are turning to Buy Now, Pay Later options. But buyers beware: BNPL can come with risks & strings attached.

We need clear rules of the road to ensure consumers get a transparent & fair deal.

Republicans cut $1 trillion from Medicaid & refuse to help lower costs for Americans on ACA.

This month, Trump plans to get rid of thousands of jobs for VA doctors & nurses.

Trump’s concept of a health care plan is: Making it harder & more expensive for Americans to get care.

Sending warm wishes and fellowship to my Jewish friends in RI, Australia, and across the globe who are coming together to mark the first night of Hanukkah – an active declaration of survival, joy, continuity & the power of light to overcome darkness.

Woke up with a heavy heart thinking about the Brown shooting & remembering today is the 13 year anniversary of #SandyHook. We owe it to every child & their families to keep pressing for real progress. Together, we can make a difference & help prevent future mass-shootings.

I’m hearing from RIers across our state about huge increases for their health insurance premiums.

This week, I voted to extend the ACA credits & lower health care costs.

Yet again, Republicans failed to show up for working Americans.
