Trump is trying to take money Congress approved to help Americans find housing & protect immigrants from abuse.
The Constitution is clear: Congress has spending power, not the President.
Despite Trump’s actions, following the law isn’t optional.
We have to end this chaos.
#Breakin President Trump is using a pocket rescission to eliminate almost $1 billion in government funding, an OMB spokesperson confirms to CBS News. This comes just days before the fiscal year ends on Sept. 30. @emmacnicholson

In the wealthiest country in the world, affordable, high-quality health care shouldn’t be so difficult to get.
I stand with @RepJeffries and Rhode Island health care workers, and together we’ll keep pushing to ensure all Americans have the care and support they deserve.

The RI Audubon Society just broke ground on a solar carport to help power their Bristol Nature Center, Aquarium, and Smithfield headquarters.🔋⚡
Glad to celebrate this major step towards the RI Audubon’s 230 net zero goal as they take action to protect our climate and wildlife.

Thank you to RI Occupational Therapy students for visiting my office to discuss expanding access to care.
Occupational therapists help people get back into their lives & routines. I’m working to ensure all health care workers have the tools they need to care for our communities.

A developing nor’easter is expected to hit RI Friday night with strong winds, heavy rain, coastal flooding, and dangerous boating conditions.
Make sure you’re prepared:
🧹Secure loose outdoor items
🚙Avoid unnecessary travel
🔦Have emergency supplies ready
[Coastal Storm Fri-Sun] Our early season nor'easter will bring strong winds Friday to Sunday. Fully leafed trees will lower the threshold for impacts, potentially causing downed limbs and some power outages.

The looming Super El Niño could break records with damaging floods, droughts, and crop losses.
After Trump weakened our federal weather infrastructure, I’m leading 41 lawmakers in calling on @NOAA to prepare and keep Americans safe.

Met with ocean leaders and innovators at Polaris Tech Bridge’s BlueTIDE who are building the Blue Economy right here in Rhode Island!
In the Ocean State, we’re harnessing our biggest asset to drive innovation and create good jobs.

Trump’s illegal tariffs hurt Americans.
Big corporations got refunds swiftly while small businesses still struggle to get what they’re owed.
I’m supporting @RepHorsford & @RepBynum’s RELIEF Act to make tariff refunds automatic for small businesses.

Stood with advocates, families, and survivors at the 2026 Rally4Recovery.
We celebrate those in recovery and those at every step of their wellness journey.

As Tiverton works to remedy PFAS contamination, I convened a meeting to hear residents' stories & coordinate resources.
@SenJackReed, @SenWhitehouse & I are calling on @EPA to help and we will keep pushing to restore clean water for every Rhode Islander.

Happy 33rd anniversary to @AmeriCorps!

Every American should be able to get & afford the healthcare they need.
Welcomed @RepJeffries to RI & listened to the firsthand experiences of healthcare providers on the challenges facing patients & the workforce.
House Dems will keep fighting for lower costs & access to care.
