Cutting waste is important. What Trump & Musk are doing creates more waste.
Firing nuclear security agents & re-hiring them. Slashing researchers tracking bird flu. Posting misleading Social Security data to create outrage & threaten benefits.
All of this hurts U.S. taxpayers.

Mr. Cunha is an outstanding public servant. His record, integrity, and commitment to justice is unwavering and speaks for itself.

There should be an FAA hiring push right now, not a mass-firing purge. FAA staffing shortages can be detrimental to air travel & operations. Understaffing in control towers leads to more planes on the ground & flight delays. Trump & Musk must strengthen, not weaken the FAA.
Standing w/ RI teachers, advocates, & education leaders to call out Trump’s plan to demolish the U.S. Department of Education. Declaring war on public education won’t help students succeed. Our students, teachers & schools shouldn’t have to pay for Republican tax cuts to billionaires & big business.
Reposted byU.S. Senator Jack Reed
Ukraine has not received an invite to U.S.-Russia peace talks in Saudi Arabia. Sen. @reed.senate.gov calls the move “horrific for the Ukrainian people” and a repeat of Trump’s actions with Afghanistan.
NIH-funded research has proven track record of fueling economic growth & discovery.
Joined RI health care leaders to push back against Trump Admin’s proposed NIH cuts that would put jobs at risk, harm the economy, and needlessly delay scientific breakthroughs & new life-saving treatments.
Impressed by the tremendous teachers, staff, & kids at Tri-County CAA’s Head Start program.
This critical program gives children tools they need to be healthy & successful.
I’m fighting to protect funding that helps make sure teachers & families have what they need to succeed.
Trump’s tariff threats & other misguided policies are raising costs for consumers & squeezing small biz.
Prices for:
Flowers 🔺
Chocolate 🔺
Dinner date 🔺
Have all risen since Trump took office.
Not impressed by Linda McMahon at her Senate hearing. The Trump-McMahon plan to kill the Department of Education won’t help our kids & communities & it won’t improve our schools.
Instead, their budget is about less money for schools & families in order to fund bigger tax windfalls for the wealthy.
Trump on Campaign: “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day 1.”
Trump on February 2: “Will there be some pain? Yes…”
Trump Day 25: Cost to feed your family is going ^.
He’s not fixing it; he’s making it worse.
At least SecDef Hegseth now acknowledges we should honor those who fought for the U.S., not Confederates who fought against it.
Still, his directive insults Gold Star families who, after years of public input & thoughtful deliberation, proudly named Fort Liberty.

The DNI is an incredibly important job requiring vast qualifications that command trust & reliability.
Tulsi Gabbard’s troubling statements & actions and lack of Intelligence experience make her the wrong person to lead our nation’s Intelligence community.

Scattershot tariffs raise prices and hurt American businesses & consumers.
Instead of increasing costs on Americans, the president should focus on lowering prices & strengthening our economy.
Trump Admin’s ill-advised shuttering of CFPB makes consumers more susceptible to predatory lending & other abusive financial practices.
Trump’s decision also eliminates key protections for servicemembers & military families. This threatens nat’l security.

With @tednesi.bsky.social on Mon, I called out the partisans snooping in Americans’ private data & freezing Congressionally approved funds.
Now, w/ President Musk’s unqualified pal, Tom Krause, running Treasury’s key payment system, it’s bound to get worse.
I’m calling for his immediate removal.
Since Trump is busy unilaterally renaming bodies of water down south, thought we’d get started up in New England.
How’s this?
The Trump Admin has put U.S. veterans’ personal data & health records at risk. I’m urging VA Secretary to immediately revoke Elon Musk’s access to veterans’ sensitive information & delete any and all private records downloaded by Musk’s coders.
Trump says the yolk’s on you: He pledged action to lower egg prices on day 1, but failed to follow through. His failures have actually caused egg prices to spike 15% in just 2 weeks. Tell Trump: It’s past time to crack down on anti-competitive price gouging!
Mr. Vought’s record of lawlessness & role as an author of Project 2025 make him a dangerous pick for OMB Director.
Joined @SenateDems in holding the Senate floor to expose his history of illegal actions & hazards of having him at the helm of this important gov’t office.
