I opposed the lopsided Republican appropriations bill. Their bill cuts domestic funding and hands President Trump vast discretion on federal spending. The Constitution explicitly gives Congress the “power of the purse” but President Trump wants to seize that power for himself.
Trump and Musk are decimating basic government services while driving up costs for everyday Americans. Trump wants to keep flouting the Constitution. I’m a hard no on cloture and strongly oppose the GOP’s partisan, cynical shutdown ploy.
Armand LaMontagne is an RI art legend whose portraits & sculptures brought so many iconic Americans to life for displays across RI & the nation. Saddened to hear of his passing & keeping the LaMontagne family in my thoughts. www.providencejournal.com/obituaries/p...
I welcome the White House decision to restore aid & intelligence to Ukraine. I urge the Administration to do so immediately before another Ukrainian life is lost & to explain the conditions of the ceasefire, including how they intend to hold Russia to account for any violations.
President Trump’s tariff salvos, unsteady leadership, & chaotic economic approach is increasing prices, downgrading the entire U.S. economy, & costing Americans in all 50 states. He must change course.
You ever meet someone who says they can help with a home project but when they come over to help they just screw everything up even more? Ladies and gentlemen, that’s President Trump.
Trump Admin chaos has engulfed the National Fire Academy which firefighters rely on to prepare for emergencies & receive advanced training that helps keep them safe. Pres. Trump is again choosing chaos over public safety by denying firefighters tools and training they need.
Cutting-edge VA research is being threatened by Trump Admin cuts, jeopardizing health of America’s veterans & holding scientific discovery back. Veterans, working families, & U.S. taxpayers are paying the price for Elon’s wasteful DOGE & pony show. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/u...
Getting a real person on the other end of the phone when you have questions or need help with @SocialSecurity benefits is essential. Trump & Musk disagree. Their cuts have already impacted benefits.
Trump & Elon already fired thousands of veterans working in the fed gov’t. Now, a senior White House aid says some veterans are “not fit to have a job right now’ while Musk & DOGE put the VA in their crosshairs. Trump needs to rehire veterans & drop the VA cuts.
I champion LIHEAP funding in the Senate because it is a lifeline that helps vulnerable RIers stay safe & lower their home energy costs. Grateful to the team at Westbay CAP for delivering critical LIHEAP assistance & more to those in Kent County.
“In chaotic political times, when our health and spirits feel low, a long walk may be just the restorative medicine we need.” Great piece by @carlosrmunoz.bsky.social @globeri.bsky.social celebrating RI history & retracing Henry David Thoreau’s steps through Providence.
Trump’s speech fell flat because his rhetoric didn’t meet reality. The economy is backsliding because of his chaotic mismanagement. He needs to change course, stop mass-layoffs, tariff threats & billionaire-first tax giveaways & start working to strengthen the middle-class & lower prices.
Consumers, business owners, retailers, & manufacturers are concerned about the negative impacts Trump’s reckless tariffs are having on their businesses & finances. RIers: Make your voices heard by sharing what higher tariff taxes mean to you.
Special thanks to the team from East Greenwich’s Dewetron who are working on NASA’s Artemis mission for their out-of-this-world Rhode Island flag that traveled to space aboard the Artemis I flight!
