The rubber hits the road in our cities and towns, so I was grateful to spend time with the Portsmouth Democratic Town Committee. From the grassroots to Congress, we’re united in fighting Trump’s economic chaos and attacks on our democracy.

So much love flowing @PVDFest! See you next year!

So much love flowing @PVDFest! See you next year!

Trump’s dividing Americans at home and bringing our adversaries together abroad. Is that how being President is supposed to work? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/w...

Happy Labor Day, Rhode Island! I will always fight for your right to join a union, to earn fair wages, and to ensure opportunity for you and your families!

UNCONTROVERSIAL FACT: Slavery was bad. I cannot fathom how anyone can see this ignorance from the President and think he’s fit for the job. And that’s being kind.

Come on! These guys want to turn the clock back on literally everything — including women’s suffrage?!?! When we say they’re extreme, they prove it every time. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/08/n...

When JD Vance isn’t busy ripping off the American people, he’s busy ripping off the American people. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump & Republicans are cheating Texas voters because they can’t win on the merits — they’re driving prices up, jobs down & hurting everyday people. I applaud Texas Democrats’ courage & conviction for doing everything possible to stop Trump from attempting to rig elections.

No sh*t, Sherlock www.wsj.com/politics/jus...

Trump’s actions are raising our costs but House Republican sycophants are focused on the pressing problem of… renaming the Kennedy Center Opera House after the First Lady. These are not serious people. t.co/TCjwMlEHt4

With friends like these… If there’s nothing to hide, release the Epstein files. www.cnn.com/2025/07/16/p...

From the 240th and oldest celebration of our nation’s independence at the Bristol parade, Happy 4th of July to all! 🇺🇸🎆

Islamophobic, disgraceful, and beneath a Member of Congress. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Always a joy to celebrate love and our ongoing march toward equality at Providence Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

He’s literally being gift-wrapped the opportunity to be better in the face of a national tragedy. And yet again, Trump picks division over unity. No surprise here. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Happy Pride, East Providence — great parade and celebration! 🏳️‍🌈

Great to see many local Democratic town committee leaders, members & supporters from across the East Bay at the Guild in Warren! While we’re facing unprecedented challenges, convenings like these are essential to keep us unified on the work ahead & focused on our values.

Today I learned that TACO-phobia is a diagnosable condition.

While out and about in North Smithfield, it was great to see these entrepreneurial girls serve up tasty lemonade to benefit a local food bank!

In North Smithfield, inspired to witness the deep and mighty patriotism of a small town that keeps alive the memory of the sacrifice that so many made for our freedom.

Nothing more Rhode Island than Johnnycakes and fighting for our democracy & values! Enjoyed a tasty breakfast and great conversation in Little Compton with so many old friends and grassroots leaders.

This headline says it all... Whether through tariffs or his disastrous tax scheme to give big bucks to billionaires, @realDonaldTrump is right back at destroying the economy and making working people pay the price.

Expressed my gratitude to Newport Democrats who were out in force today to tell Trump and Congressional Republicans in Congress NO to cutting Medicaid and essential programs. Let’s keep at it!

What a wonderful Sunday with so many friends from across Rhode Island at the 36th Annual Breakfast in support our champion, Sen. Jack Reed!

Congrats to my good friends at Mr. Lemon in Providence on the start of their 51st season of serving our community! See you for another Lemon Meringue very soon!

With a report card like this, it’s hard to say that Trump’s first 100 days have been anything but a major failure.

The Community College of Rhode Island is a special place to so many — and I wouldn’t be where I am without its nursing program helping my mom build a career. Honored to play auctioneer at CCRI’s Raising Opportunities event in support of students and faculty!

Trump said homegrown terrorists were next for deportation — not toddlers. This is a new definition of the terrible twos. Again, the cruelty is the point. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Good to see my colleagues in government Newport Councilor Xay & Woonsocket Mayor Chris Beauchamp on the dance floor for MENTOR Rhode Island’s Dancing with the Stars this weekend! What a big, joyful crowd for a supremely worthy cause — the children of our state. 💃🕺

TRANSLATION: House Republicans are actively refusing to stand up for their constituents suffering from Trump’s HUGE price hike on all of us.

Grateful for the leadership of @corybooker.com, the epitome of a drum major for justice, opportunity, & freedom. In this moment of challenge, conflict, & chaos from Trump in the highest office in the land, Sen. Booker’s example is much needed and inspires us all to work for the future we deserve.

After 25 hours and 5 minutes of @booker.senate.gov’s historic speech, I’m drawn to his conclusion that the United States has reached a “moral moment” that required a stand against the Trump Administration.

For the last 17 hrs and counting, @booker.senate.gov has been delivering a powerful clarion call to stop the wrongs of Trump, Musk, and DOGE. This is leadership in action. That focus on the needs of the American people is a clear contrast to the chaos and confusion of the Trump admin.

Happy #401Gives Day! Now more than ever, non-profits across Rhode Island need our support. They’re filing in gaps and doing work that so many of our neighbors rely on. Join me & many others in contributing today! www.401gives.org

As Maya Angelou said, “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” This is a clear violation of the Constitution and another indefensible step in Trump’s march to serve himself instead of our country. t.co/NGKcipbNF5

Now more than ever, it was great to support RI’s independent public media Rhode Island PBS & the Public’s Radio. Wonderful to meet local legend Chef Mary Ann Esposito of the longest running public TV show, Ciao Italia! Public media inspires joy & informs — I’ll work to protect it.

Not sure what’s worse here — using a groupchat to discuss a pending military operation or the fact that the National Security Advisor accidentally added a journalist. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Rhode Islanders are showing up and pushing back against Trump and Musk’s actions today at the Rally for Working People. We will not sit idly as they gut critical programs & government agencies to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. I’ll keep fighting alongside all those who know we deserve better.

Provided official witness to all 89 feet of the World’s Shortest St. Paddy’s Day Parade in Adamsville, Little Compton. Wishing good luck and cheer to all on this beautiful day! ☘️

Rubio and Trump refuse to answer legitimate questions about Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest and the revocation of his legal residency status.   Suspending the civil rights of those you disagree with is un-American. Any allegations or evidence of a crime have to be justified and litigated in court.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Newport, and friends across Rhode Island!

As my GOP colleagues work to switch subjects, remember: Trump’s extreme, divisive agenda doesn’t lower costs for families. His speech had 0 mentions of: Health care affordability Reducing food & housing costs Improving veterans care But lots of patting himself on the back!

Good to see so many friends and share wishes of happiness & good luck at Pawtucket’s 43rd St. Patrick's Parade! 🍀

Nothing says “efficiency” like scrambling to rehire USDA workers addressing bird flu and employees who answer the Veterans Crisis Line at the VA… www.reuters.com/world/us/fir...

Nothing is difficult about standing up for your constituents over loyalty to Trump. www.politico.com/live-updates...

We should not be suppressing our history — especially the bad parts. If we ignore our past, we will just be doomed to repeat it. clarksvillenow.com/local/books-...

There you have it. Every Republican on the Budget Committee just exposed our middle class to higher costs, Medicaid recipients to benefit cuts, and gutted programs that feed kids. All this betrayal to cut taxes for their billionaire friends. That’s it, that’s the headline.

You don't need a PhD to realize that Republicans are using reconciliation to betray the middle class.    In fact, all you need is a little Schoolhouse Rock: youtu.be/KuIjyNIVMVY

Remember that part of Trump & Republicans’ flooding the zone is about distracting from their goal of making the uber-rich, richer — at the expense of 10s of millions of our fellow Americans losing health care.
