The cost of Republican inaction in action. Frankly, it’s unacceptable. Dems voted for & continue pressing to responsibly lower health care costs & extend ACA tax credits. Republicans should listen to the American people & join us.

Americans are paying the price of a war they never wanted and have gained nothing from. After 60 days of war, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, gas prices are sky high, & our military has suffered significant costs. Pres. Trump owes the American people answers & a plan.

Speaker Johnson extended the DHS shutdown for over a MONTH for no reason at all. This is the same bill the Senate passed five weeks ago.   An inexcusable failure by House Republicans. But it’s a very good thing the TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, & more will finally be funded.
House approves bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security and end the record shutdown
The House has voted to fund much of the Department of Homeland Security and bring an end to the longest agency shutdown in history.

Even as Trump policies worsen the economy & increase prices, tone-deaf Republicans are prioritizing Trump’s opulent ballroom over affordability. Democrats are working to lower household costs. GOP is trying to jam through Trump’s unpermitted, $400M+ vanity project.

Trump’s policies continue to put a serious dent in driver's wallets. Gas prices are up & RIers are being forced to pay an extra $1.14 per gallon over last year. Rhode Islanders are also paying more for food and other goods due to Trump’s unauthorized war and unfair tariffs.
R.I., Mass. gas prices soar past $4 per gallon
PROVIDENCE – The average weekly price of self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline in Rhode Island increased 14 cents to $4.08 per gallon, AAA Northeast said Monday.  That price is 3 cents lower than the ...

Last night, GOP rejected over a dozen Dem proposals to lower costs & fight corruption.   ❌GOP rejected plans to lower grocery, gas, energy, & health care costs.   ❌GOP rejected ban on Congressional stock trading.   ❌GOP rejected bill to boost affordable housing & home ownership.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govApr 23(source)
Senate Republicans could work with Dems to lower costs & make our economy work better for working families. Instead, they’re pushing a huge $140 billion giveaway to ICE & Border Patrol w/ no accountability or oversight.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govApr 22(source)
Pres. Trump votes by mail, but wants to make it harder for others to cast their ballots. Voting by mail is safe & secure and should be an option for those who need it. I’m supporting the Mail & Absentee Voter Protection Act to nullify Trump’s EO attacks on vote-by-mail.
