Right now, $8 million worth of lifesaving food is sitting in a warehouse in Rhode Island, already paid for by taxpayer, while children around the world starve.
This is a moral failure.
And I will speak out until the Trump Administration restores this critical food aid.

Nelson Mandela was a leader who dared to dream of a more just and inclusive world.
On Mandela Day, we honor his contributions and legacy and look to him as an example as we continue the fight for equality.
70 years ago, U.S. farmers with surplus wheat helped launch the Food for Peace program, sparking decades of bipartisan food aid, including life-saving products from Edesia Nutrition.
This year, the Trump Administration cut that funding.
It’s time to restore it—and save lives.
Child care costs have skyrocketed and working parents are paying the price.
I am co-sponsoring @bobbyscott.house.gov's Child Care for Working Families Act to fund child care and ensure families pay no more than 7 percent of their income on care.
This puts kids and families first.
ICYMI: I joined Commissioner Infante-Green and Mayor Smiley to call on the administration to restore the funding for afterschool programs and teacher training that it has frozen. .
Blocking this funding hurts students and is completely unnecessary.

The Constitution gives Congress, not the President, the power to impose tariffs.
And President Trump’s tariffs are driving up costs on everyday goods for working people.
I am joining an amicus brief challenging Trump’s abuse of his authority and opposing these illegal tariffs.
60 years ago, the Older Americans Act began funding programs like Meals on Wheels, in-home care, and transportation—helping seniors live with dignity and independence.
On its anniversary, we must recommit to protecting these essential services and honoring every older American.
An estimated 70,000 children have died because USAID was shut down.
Nonprofits like Edesia Nutrition were told new food aid orders are coming, but the funding still hasn’t come.
What are we waiting for?
Big corporations take home huge profits while wages fail to keep up with the cost of living.
I am proud to again support the Raise the Wage Act to raise the federal minimum wage to $17 for 22 million Americans.
This is long overdue.
This National Park and Recreation Month, we’ll keep working so parks are accessible and enjoyable for all.
In 2023, Members of Congress made over $1 billion in stock trades.
That’s not how public service should work.
I’m pushing to ban congressional stock trading because the job is to serve the people, not profit off the position.
The rest of the country is catching on to what we’ve known all along: T.F. Green just ranked as the best airport in America.
Another Ocean State gem putting Rhode Island on the map. ✈️
Trump cut funding for Rhode Island after school and summer school programs, right in the middle of summer.
But Rhode Islanders are not having it.
We are doing everything we can to fight back.

Paramount just handed Trump $16 million to settle a baseless lawsuit.
Here’s what’s really going on, why it is corruption in broad daylight, and what me and my colleagues are doing about it…
Quality health care depends on a strong nursing workforce.
I’m cosponsoring the Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act to expand training programs, invest in clinical education, and help address nursing shortages in Rhode Island and across the country.
The Trump Admin thinks they can gut the Department of Education in the dead of summer and no one will notice.
We noticed. And we won’t stop fighting until every dollar is restored.
I am standing with RI Education Commissioner Infante-Green and other leaders this week to demand answers.
This money was approved by Congress. It belongs to students.
After-school organizations are now at risk of shutting down.
Kids could lose a safe place to learn, grow, and get support.
The only explanation? The funds are “under review.”
No timeline. No guidance. Just chaos — with kids caught in the middle.
Schools and nonprofit orgs like the Providence After School Alliance were expecting this funding on July 1.
They planned around it. Staff were hired.
And then - silence. The money just didn’t show up.
