September 11, 2001 is a day that we will never forget. Today, we stand in solemn remembrance of the thousands of innocent lives lost and honor the heroism of the first responders who answered the call.

On September 11, 2001, our nation was forever changed by the terrorism that took lives in New York, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon.   We remember those lost and the brave first responders who answered the call. In grief and in strength, we remain one nation.

24 years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, we remember the victims, survivors & heroism of first responders and how our nation came together. We will #NeverForget the lessons & losses from that terrible event & its aftermath.

On September 11th, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who ran towards danger. We will never forget.

There is no place for this violence in our political discourse. On behalf of the RIDP, we send our deepest condolences to the Kirk family.

Team Rhode Island is in Minneapolis for the DNC's Summer Meeting! We are so grateful for Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social's leadership. Such an honor to see @governorwalz.mn.gov.

Today, we celebrate the 160th Anniversary of Juneteenth National Freedom Day.

On June 19th, 1865, years after the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved people in Texas finally learned they were free.  Juneteeth commemorates that long-delayed justice and reminds us that we must continue to push forward in the fight for freedom and equality for all.

Juneteenth is a powerful testament to the resilience of Black Americans. While we celebrate the fight for freedom and justice, today also serves as a reminder that our work is far from over.

Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 that the Emancipation Proclamation was fully recognized across the nation. RI first commemorated the day as a State holiday in 2024. Today, we recognize and honor Juneteenth, remembering this important day in American history.

#Juneteenth is a day for celebration & reflection, action & unity. 160 years ago, America broke the shackles of slavery. Each of us have a responsibility to recognize the struggle for freedom & recommit to our shared values of equality, liberty & justice for all.

Juneteenth commemorates the final enslaved people in the United States being informed of the end of the Civil War and of their freedom. We celebrate for good reason.

This Juneteenth, I think of the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who reminded us that “darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.” There’s serious work ahead as we build a more just nation.

Statement from Chairwoman Liz Beretta-Perik on ending horrific violence.

The charges against @replamonica.bsky.social are baseless and politically motivated. I stood with my colleagues to speak out against what this really is: an effort to intimidate Congress from doing our job conducting oversight of the Trump Administration.

Chairwoman Liz Beretta-Perik offers a message of hope in light of President Joe Biden's tragic cancer diagnosis.

@ridemparty.bsky.social Chairwoman Liz Beretta Perik said, “Americans learned Sunday afternoon the sad news that former President Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. All of us will be praying for the former President, Mrs. Biden, and the Biden family."

Honored to meet with the President of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader.   With #RI01 being home to a flourishing Dominican diaspora, it was great to discuss our work to strengthen the relationship between our nations alongside @repespaillat.bsky.social and other colleagues.

We all saw this coming, but now it’s official. Late last night, Republicans released their plan to cut Medicaid—the source of health insurance for millions of Americans.
