Celebrating community & the arts here at River Island Art Park to help kick off Woonsocket’s 2025 free summer concert series! Proud to deliver $450k in federal funds to help fix up the stage and make this a special community space for years & concerts to come.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: CBO says after 10 years, Trump’s reconciliation bill gives 81% of total benefits to the richest 1/10th, while lower 40% of Americans will pay MORE. 🚨🚨🚨

Exeter Job Corps is a special place. When Trump Admin announced its plan to shutter these centers across the U.S. & barred me from visiting the Exeter center I helped open, I rallied w/ students & staff outside its gates to #SaveJobCorps. I won’t let Trump slam the door to opportunity.

Health Insurance Saves Lives: People with health insurance get better health outcomes than those lacking coverage. The Republican bill eliminates health insurance for millions of Americans and denies them preventive medical care in order to give bigger tax $$$ to the ultra-wealthy.

First Rule of Emergency Preparedness: Plan Ahead.   Trump’s Emergency Preparedness Plan: 🤷‍♂️   Trump must nominate an experienced FEMA Admin to restore confidence in the agency & ensure our communities can safely prepare for & respond to disasters.

RFK Jr. has said that he isn’t a reliable source for medical advice. Instead, we should listen to the experts. Like the researchers & scientists sounding the alarm at NIH. Trump Admin’s policies are bad for public health.

Cutting Pell Grants will prevent more Americans from going to college. Suppressing academic freedom will force U.S. researchers to fall behind. The Trump Admin's attack on higher education is bad for students & bad for our economy.

OUTRAGEOUS: 6 SCOTUS justices & Trump Admin just blew away your privacy rights & data protection. DOGE may now access sensitive Social Security data, transfer it to external systems, & use it to reward their allies, punish critics, or enrich themselves. www.npr.org/2025/06/06/n...
Supreme Court grants DOGE access to confidential Social Security records
The order, for now, overturns actions that limited DOGE's access to sensitive private information. In a separate case, the court said DOGE did not have to share internal records with a watchdog group.

RIers are uniting to help feed the hungry, but Trump’s policies are raising food prices & cutting assistance to those in need. Joined RI Community Food Bank to urge a reversal of Trump’s irresponsible SNAP cuts that would cut nutrition assistance to 17,000 RIers.

Today marks 81 years since brave Americans & our allies stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. Fighting in the name of liberty, these soldiers saved the world & protected our freedom. We will forever honor their legacy of service, uncommon courage & sacrifice.
