We need efficiency at the Dept. of Defense. But personnel decisions should be based on facts & analysis, not arbitrary percentages. Eliminating the positions of many of our most experienced officers without justification could cripple the military.

Be sure to thank a teacher this week!
Teachers show us the way, educate the next generation, & help build thriving communities.
We must support our teachers & ensure public schools are modern, fully-equipped, welcoming community assets.
#TeacherAppreciationWeek2025
Trump’s budget & tariffs are punishing Americans and threatening our economy. Trump wants deep cuts to health care, public safety & disaster relief. But he still wants the public to pay $300M for things like his golf outings to his private golf courses. No cuts there!
I led successful fight against Trump’s efforts to dismantle Nat’l Endowment for the Arts, Nat’l Endowment for the Humanities & IMLS during his first term.
Now he’s back & trying again. And once again, I’m fighting tooth & nail to stop him.
At Rhode Island KIDS COUNT’s 2025 Factbook release, discussing progress we’ve made & the work ahead for ensuring vulnerable children and families have access to high-quality education & health care and helpful resources & support.
A little rain didn’t stop us from launching the critical Missing Move project today to complete final link between I-95 & Route 4. Proud to deliver $4M fed planning grant for this key connection & work with @whitehouse.senate.gov to secure $81M to get this project moving.
President Trump is running our economy into the ground and causing prices to go up instead of down. His unworkable ‘reopen Alcatraz proposal’ is a non-sensical attempt to distract from his economic failures.
Rhode Island & states across the nation are in a housing crisis.
Trump’s solution: eliminate our nation’s largest grant program that builds affordable housing, cut vouchers, and eviscerate HUD by over 40%.
Here is Trump’s plan:
Congrats to Troop 1 of Greenville’s 3 newest Eagle Scouts!
It’s been nearly 79 years since Seaman Second Class Carmine Lombardi joined the U.S. Navy at the end of WWII.
Honored to join Mr. Lombardi & his family today to present him with military honors he earned during his service to our nation.
In advance of RI Independence Day (May 4), take a moment to enjoy the greatest, funniest, most absurd political break-up song about colonial oppression ever written by Rhode Island College supporter & national treasure, Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Gearing up to celebrate the 249th anniversary of Rhode Island declaring its independence on May 4, 1776.
Lots of great ways to join the festivities and salute RI’s rebellious & independent spirit:

Sec. Hegseth doesn’t have the temperament or management skills to lead the Pentagon. And he’s proving that over & over.
I am a hard NO on Frank Bisignano to lead the Social Security Administration. He was handpicked by Pres. Trump to run the agency into the ground & make it harder for seniors to access the Social Security benefits they earned.
Heading to Senate floor to speak about how the chaos and dysfunction of the Trump Administration is making America less safe.
Trump just ousted his Nat'l Sec. Advisor, but Sec. Hegseth’s mismanagement and sloppiness have made DoD a mess.
Our servicemembers & the American people deserve better.
GREAT NEWS: New $18.4 billion Navy submarine contract to boost Rhode Island workforce and help safeguard the nation.
Thank you to the thousands of hardworking Rhode Islanders who contribute to building these next-gen submarines.
Trump’s anti-voter executive order and the GOP’s undemocratic SAVE Act are about making it harder for American citizens to vote.

Removing lead service lines & ensuring clean water for every RIer is a top priority.
Proud to work with @whitehouse.senate.gov to deliver federal funds to accelerate lead pipe replacement.
