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.

This is disturbingly negligent. Our nation’s intelligence professionals are recruited by meticulous standards, and young officers make sacrifices that are unthinkable to most Americans. To recklessly risk their safety is unconscionable, and a gift to our adversaries.

The "Deferred Resignation" offer from OPM to federal employees is deceptive, undermines vital services for Americans, & would raise costs for taxpayers.
I joined @murray.senate.gov, @reed.senate.gov, and @delauro.house.gov with important questions about the legal basis of this “buyout."
Tomorrow I’m taking to the floor in opposition to the nomination of Russell Vought. An instigator of #Project2025 who failed as OMB Director before should not oversee America’s budget.
Your privacy matters, especially when it comes to you & your family’s Social Security benefits & info, but the Trump Admin has apparently given a crew of unknown, unvetted, unaccountable coders full access to personal data of 70 million Social Security beneficiaries.
That’s wrong & dangerous.
Reposted byU.S. Senator Jack Reed
“This is an administration that does not follow the law,” Democratic U.S. Sen. Jack Reed said Monday. He added, “It’s not just disruption. It’s lawlessness.”
Story by @tednesi.bsky.social: ⤵️
I want answers about the Trump Administration granting unprecedented & dangerous outsider access to the highly sensitive Treasury system that holds the personal info of millions of Americans & distributes funding for critical gov’t functions.
This chaos, abuse of power, & lawlessness must end.
Joined RI teachers, firefighters, public servants, & labor leaders to push the Trump Administration on swift implementation of the Social Security Fairness Act & ensure those who dedicated their lives to serving our communities get the benefits they earned.
This Black History Month we reflect on and celebrate the countless and profound achievements and contributions of Black Americans to Rhode Island and our nation.
Check out some greats ways to get involved & get inspired:
