Democrats are working to responsibly resolve the shutdown and save health care.
Republican House Speaker has kept the House out of session for a month. And Trump flew out of the country for a week.
The GOP is purposefully keeping the federal government shut down and stopping a solution.

Pres. Trump is creating a SNAP crisis where none exists. He is sitting on billions of SNAP dollars but is refusing to spend them.
After years of investment, @quonsetri.bsky.social welcomed its 15,000th employee. We must continue to invest wisely to ensure this RI economic engine continues to grow & thrive.
Ambassador Bill Middendorf was a true patriot, a strong leader, & an impactful RIer.
With his passing at age 101, RI & our nation have lost a faithful public servant who brought distinguished service to all he did.
Libraries are community assets that bring people together to learn new skills, find new passions, & meet new friends.
I’m proud to be the leading champion of public libraries in Congress & was honored to deliver the keynote address at the New England Library Association’s annual conference.
Celebrated Diwali with friends & members of RI’s vibrant Indian community last night at the India Assoc. of RI’s annual celebration -- sharing hope, kindness, & happiness during this inspiring Festival of Lights!
Ahoy! Today we christened the U.S. Navy’s newest Virginia-class fast-attack submarine, the PCU Utah.
Grateful for the talented men & women who built this sub and the courageous servicemembers who will operate this vessel around the globe.
I created the Southeast New England Program (SNEP) to bring together stakeholders from across RI & our region and advance their best ideas to improve the health of Narragansett Bay. Today we ushered in the next wave of SNEP projects that will make RI communities healthier & stronger.
While President Trump avoids a public meeting with Democrats to negotiate a compromise on health care costs, everyday Americans suffer.
In fact, surveys show that the vast majority of Americans want and expect POTUS to negotiate.
Dems are already at the table, even if it’s not made of gold leaf.
Today, we mark 42 years since the Beirut terror attack that killed 241 U.S. servicemembers, including 9 brave Marines from RI.
We will never forget their heroic service & the eternal sacrifice of those who gave their last full measure in defense of others.

This is not about left or right, it’s about right and wrong.
Lowering health care costs is the right thing to do for Americans regardless of party.
Americans will not stand by while the Trump Admin strips away their right to privacy, tramples on their civil rights, & prevents Congress from carrying out its constitutional duties.
My colleague @merkley.senate.gov has been delivering an epic marathon floor speech for over 20 hours to protest Pres Trump's growing authoritarianism.
I joined him to discuss the importance of protecting your data from misuse & abuse by this Administration.
TRUMP in July 2025: The new ballroom will be "near" the existing building but won't touch it. "Nothing will be torn down."
TRUMP in Oct. 2025:
Reposted byU.S. Senator Jack Reed
$250 million for his ballroom.
$40 billion for Argentina.
$172 million for Kristi Noel’s two private jets.
$0 to lower your health care premiums.
WIN FOR RI MARINE INTERESTS: After public pushback, U.S. Coast Guard abandons plan to remove navigational buoys.
I will continue to monitor this situation going forward to keep the public informed & ensure public outreach as part of any future decision-making process.
Most RIers can’t pay an extra $7,800 a year for the same health coverage they have now. With costs rising across the board, people are already tightening their belts.
Democrats have a plan to stop these huge health care cost hikes. Sure seems like Republicans don’t care.
