As the first Holy Father from the Americas, Pope Francis was a guiding light on how to care for the most vulnerable with humility and grace. As the world mourns his passing, I join those who take comfort that his moral clarity will stand the test of time.

Senate President Dominick Ruggerio’s passing is a significant loss for Rhode Island — a place he loved deeply and fought for until the very end. I will keep his children, grandchildren, loved ones, colleagues, and staff in my prayers. Through so many, his legacy will live on.

In Congress, I’m working across the aisle to preserve our America’s leadership abroad through our production of lifesaving humanitarian aid. We’re saving starving children, supporting American farmers, and projecting our nation’s values. This is leadership from which we cannot retreat.

In Congress, I have been proud to stand up for democracy and the international rule of law by voting for sanctions and delivering humanitarian and military aid to oppose Vladimir Putin's illegal invasion.

Thank you to the American Coalition for Ukraine for your continued advocacy of American support for Ukraine's war effort.

Easter came early in Providence yesterday!🐰 Thank you to Carol & the Community Angels for organizing this year’s Easter Extravaganza to give local kids baskets and the joy of the season.

Trump broke the law by deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He’s defying a 9-0 Supreme Court order by refusing to bring him back. And he’s paying a foreign government to lock up migrants in a torture prison without due process. @vanhollen.senate.gov is right — either put up in court or shut up.

A dozen House Republicans fire warning shot to Mike Johnson on Medicaid cuts

Van Hollen to the Trump administration: "Put up in court or shut up"

7/ By sharing stories of how Medicaid supports Americans, our public pressure is working. Republicans are calling on their own leaders to spare their communities from harmful cuts. We can’t let up — for everyone who relies on it, we have to save Medicaid. www.axios.com/2025/04/16/m...

The GOP speaker is in a vise as centrists push against the deep Medicaid cuts that Freedom Caucus members are demanding.

6/ In Newport, I met with staff at East Bay Community Action Program’s Dental Center to discuss how cuts to Medicaid would lead to cuts to clinic hours, staffing, and their ability to support our local communities. bsky.app/profile/amo....

Their plan would devastate RI community health centers like EBCAP to giveaway tax breaks to billionaires. I’ll keep pushing back.

Congressman Gabe Amo@amo.house.govApr 18(source)

5/ At Women and Infants Hospital, our delegation united against GOP efforts to strip Medicaid for new & expecting mothers. With so many RIers relying on Medicaid for pregnancy, childbirth, & family planning, these cuts would devastate maternal health outcomes in our state. bsky.app/profile/amo....

Today, at Women and Infants Hospital, our delegation is standing up for Medicaid and pushing back against proposed Republican cuts that would devastate access to health care for children, families, and vulnerable people across our state.

4/ Alongside the RI delegation, I’ve convened medical professionals &advocacy groups to underscore how Medicaid helps those struggling with behavioral & mental health care. Investing in Medicaid means investing in treatment options and supporting providers who serve them. bsky.app/profile/amo....

Roughly 40% of Medicaid enrollees in Rhode Island struggle with mental illness. If Republicans make Medicaid cuts of nearly $900 billion, the harm to RI and communities across our nation would be astronomical.

3/ Last week, I spoke on House Floor to tell the story of Al — a 74-year-old resident of an East Providence assisted living facility who is petrified that cuts to Medicaid could force him on the street. bsky.app/profile/amo....

Al is my constituent — a 74 year old from East Providence who relies Medicare and Medicaid to make ends meet. He is PETRIFIED Republican cuts will force him onto the street. The Republican budget resolution opens the door to hurting folks in Rhode Island like Al. That’s why today I voted NO.

2/ In a 12+ hour @housebudgetdems.bsky.social hearing, I called out the Republican attempts to gut Medicaid to shovel tax breaks to the richest 1%. bsky.app/profile/amo....
