NIH-funded research has proven track record of fueling economic growth & discovery. Joined RI health care leaders to push back against Trump Admin’s proposed NIH cuts that would put jobs at risk, harm the economy, and needlessly delay scientific breakthroughs & new life-saving treatments.
Impressed by the tremendous teachers, staff, & kids at Tri-County CAA’s Head Start program. This critical program gives children tools they need to be healthy & successful. I’m fighting to protect funding that helps make sure teachers & families have what they need to succeed.
Trump’s tariff threats & other misguided policies are raising costs for consumers & squeezing small biz. Prices for: Flowers 🔺 Chocolate 🔺 Dinner date 🔺 Have all risen since Trump took office.
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. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
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. www.reed.senate.gov/news/release...
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.
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!
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. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/u...
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.
