Pres. Trump’s outdated energy policies have already spiked energy bills by 13% this year. This re-do attempt to stop Revolution Wind is bad for our economy & environment, kills good-paying union jobs, & does absolutely nothing to lower costs.
Here on Hope Street checking in with small businesses & seeing lots of RIers braving the weather to be with their community today. Kudos to Asher & team at Frog and Toad for the outstanding work they’re doing to raise support for Brown’s Student Emergency Support Fund.
Public libraries are community assets, offering a variety of important services and resources to all. I’ll continue working to provide federal support for public libraries and ensure they continue to evolve & grow with the communities they serve.
For millions of Americans with ACA coverage, skyrocketing premiums start on January 1. After months of Democrats urging action, the Speaker now says they’ll vote on ACA credits in January because Democrats forced his hand. Republicans know what the problem is. They just refuse to fix it.
Many holiday shoppers are turning to Buy Now, Pay Later options. But buyers beware: BNPL can come with risks & strings attached. We need clear rules of the road to ensure consumers get a transparent & fair deal.
Republicans cut $1 trillion from Medicaid & refuse to help lower costs for Americans on ACA. This month, Trump plans to get rid of thousands of jobs for VA doctors & nurses. Trump’s concept of a health care plan is: Making it harder & more expensive for Americans to get care.
A moment of silence for the loss of Ella Cook & Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, two promising bright lights whose lives were tragically cut short by a mass-shooter. And a moment of solidarity with the entire Brown University, Providence, and Rhode Island community.
Sending warm wishes and fellowship to my Jewish friends in RI, Australia, and across the globe who are coming together to mark the first night of Hanukkah – an active declaration of survival, joy, continuity & the power of light to overcome darkness.
Woke up with a heavy heart thinking about the Brown shooting & remembering today is the 13 year anniversary of #SandyHook. We owe it to every child & their families to keep pressing for real progress. Together, we can make a difference & help prevent future mass-shootings.
I’m hearing from RIers across our state about huge increases for their health insurance premiums. This week, I voted to extend the ACA credits & lower health care costs. Yet again, Republicans failed to show up for working Americans.
The American people should know who requested cushy treatment for Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator & convicted child sex trafficker, Ghislaine Maxwell, and why. While she’s reportedly granted perks like ‘puppy privileges’ in ‘club Fed,’ I’m asking DOJ’s watchdog to investigate.
America’s health care costs are shooting up but Trump’s allies refuse to help lower them. Instead of providing immediate relief, Republicans blocked an extension of ACA tax credits, making health insurance less affordable & attainable & spiking prices for millions of Americans.
Trump talks a big game when it comes to American manufacturing. But that’s all it is – all talk, poor results. Trump’s tariffs are failing. We need to deliver real relief for American businesses & consumers.
I’m for lower health care costs. My votes are for practical, people-first solutions to rein in costs. But today more Republicans voted to double premiums overnight, destabilize the health care marketplace, & impose steep price hikes on working Americans.
BREAKING: The Senate rejected legislation to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, as costs are set to rise for millions of Americans in 2026.
