Trump and Secretary Rubio slashed American foreign aid, hurting our farmers and small businesses while making us less safe. At @houseforeign.bsky.social, I pressed Secretary Rubio on why he pushed these cuts despite the obvious consequences.

Pedaled with Rhode Islanders for “Elliot’s Ride” along Newport’s iconic Ocean Drive. Named in honor of Dr. Elliot Kaminitz, who was killed while biking, this ride raises awareness and calls for safer streets for everyone. Great to see the community showing up and pushing for cyclist safety.🚲🌊

Rhode Island is a place where everyone belongs.🏳️‍🌈 Thrilled to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community with performances, food, and art at East Providence Pride. I’ll keep fighting in Congress to protect the freedom to be who you are and love who you love!

Congratulations to the 2026 Greene School graduates!🎓 Encouraged these bright students to embrace our state’s motto, “hope” in thought, deed, and action as they take the next step in their journey. Wishing each of the 51 new grads the best of luck in their next endeavors.

#OTD 82 years ago, thousands of brave Americans stormed the beaches of Normandy to help liberate Europe & defend the free world. We honor their extraordinary courage & sacrifice in the fight to defeat fascism. We must never forget what they risked & gave for our freedom.

Joined the Rhode Island Day of Portugal Committee to celebrate the culture, contributions, and flavors of Rhode Island’s Portuguese community. Viva Portugal! 🇵🇹

Welcomed @brownpublichealth.bsky.social leaders to Washington to discuss supporting our neighbors battling addiction. Shared how I’m working across the aisle to increase the availability of opioid overdose reversal kits with my HOPE Act, support those in recovery, and save lives.

🌻Teamwork makes the dream work! 🖌️ Joined City Year members at Bailey Elementary in Providence as they rolled up their sleeves to create a stunning new mural and restore garden beds. Grateful for their work to create a brighter learning environment for students.

Met with Newport Mental Health and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing to discuss the importance of reversing Trump’s cuts and delays to essential funding. We must ensure every Rhode Islander can get the mental health care they need.

Met with RI’ers from the Alzheimer’s Association and their furry advocate to discuss how Trump’s NIH research cuts impact the Alzheimer’s care families rely on. I’ll keep working in Congress to support Alzheimer's patients, invest in screening, and fund lifesaving research.

Trump and RFK's embrace of pseudoscience is endangering kids. Vaccines save lives and keep kids from needing invasive medical testing and treatment. Get vaccinated, stay healthy, and listen to professionals, not unqualified con artists.

Greatly appreciative of the work of Day One and the RI Coalition Against Domestic Violence to respond to abuse and support survivors. I’ll keep working for federal funding for these vital organizations to provide hope and healing in our community.

Proud to stand with the Air Line Pilots Association in pushing legislation to help pilots avoid collisions & prevent tragedies like the loss of my constituents Spencer & Christine Lane and 62 other souls on Flight 5342. Grateful to meet with Cpt. Steven Walsh to discuss improving aviation safety.

House Republicans need to be on the record. Trump’s illegal war of choice with Iran is jacking up prices, making the world less safe, and making Americans' lives more difficult. Joined @alivitali.bsky.social on MS NOW to discuss why Congress deferring to Donald Trump is a deadly decision.

Celebrated the Sojourner House’s 50th Anniversary of helping Rhode Islanders at the Sojo MoJoe Breakfast. Grateful to Vanessa Volz and her team’s vital work supporting survivors and preventing domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.

For 3 months, Donald Trump has carried out an illegal war of choice with Iran with no plan and no endgame in sight. Rhode Islanders are paying the price. Joined Kayla Fish on @wpri12.bsky.social to discuss how Trump’s chaos is driving up gas & grocery prices for working families across our state.

Experienced hope in action while celebrating the Rhode Island Freedom Collective’s 1st Freedom Gala! Grateful for their continued work and the recognition of the effort in 2006 to restore voting rights for formerly incarcerated Rhode Islanders.

Bill Pulte has no expertise in national security or intelligence operations. His only qualification is loyalty to Donald Trump. Politicizing the work of the intelligence community weakens our national security. Pulte's appointment is dangerous and makes Americans less safe.

Wrapped up #SmallBusinessMonth celebrating Rhode Island’s Latina business leaders with the RI Hispanic Chamber. As small businesses are squeezed by skyrocketing prices and attacks on our immigrant communities, I’m fighting to lower costs, stop ICE’s cruelty & expand opportunity.

Rhode Islanders have always led the charge for independence and shown what civic courage looks like. Proud to help plant the Liberty Tree at Conanicut Battery Historic Park, honoring our history and the power rooted in community.

Bragging about kicking 4.5 million Americans off SNAP is immoral. SNAP provides the bare minimum to ensure Rhode Islanders don’t go hungry. If this administration actually wanted to help families, they’d lower costs, not take food away and make life more expensive.

Trump's corrupt slush fund is melting. Congress should finish the job. Not one taxpayer dollar should go to January 6 rioters, Trump, or Trump’s criminal cronies for their weaponization fraud.

The RI Blood Center saves lives. With the start of summer, trauma visits to the ER are expected to rise, and so will the need for more blood. Thanked the team for their work coordinating donations, ensuring a steady supply of blood & keeping RI’ers healthy.

Celebrated the DaVinci Center’s continued progress serving Providence’s North End. Toured their renovated facility, met with dedicated staff, and saw firsthand how their programs create opportunity, build connection, and support Rhode Islanders of all ages.

Working families are paying more because Trump cut clean energy & dragged us into an illegal war of choice with Iran. I’m supporting @mikethompson.house.gov’s American Energy Independence and Affordability Act to restore clean energy tax credits & help RI'ers keep their hard-earned money.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month, Rhode Island! 🏳️‍⚧️ This Pride, I’m standing side-by-side with our LGBTQIA+ neighbors as we celebrate their contributions to our state and keep fighting for equality, dignity, and freedom!

Toured the brand new Portsmouth Senior Center, which has over 50 units of affordable housing for seniors on site! I’m fighting to stop cuts to the housing and health care programs seniors rely on, so innovative facilities like this can continue to help seniors age with dignity.

Rhode Island is the place to be for this summer's World Cup. Can't wait to welcome fans of the Scotland, Portugal, Cape Verde, and Colombia teams as well as Ghanaian Black Stars themselves as they enjoy our great state! www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/u...

Made new friends at the Roger Williams Zoo!🐾 It was great meeting busy red pandas and sleepy sloths, as well as seeing future pre-K classrooms & learning spaces. I’m proud to support our great zoo’s outreach and conservation efforts.

BIG shoutout to all the athletes at this weekend’s Special Olympics RI Summer Games! From bowling to powerlifting, swimming to track and field, and soccer too, I’m cheering on the 1,200 athletes and wishing them the best of luck!

Food waste warriors at Ella Risk Elementary in Central Falls have reduced waste from 150 pounds to 4 pounds this past year. Congratulations to students & staff for their hard work composting, sharing unwanted food with neighbors, and making our planet healthier!♻️🌎

It’s Reading Week at Myron J. Francis Elementary in East Providence! 📚 Stopped by to read “Star Stuff” with my new friends in Ms. Brun’s class. Grateful for Rhode Island teachers who make a difference every day and wishing Ms. Brun a wonderful retirement!

When seconds matter, officers need reliable communications equipment that works every time. I’m bringing home $500,000 in federal dollars to ensure the North Smithfield Police Department has the latest tools to coordinate quickly, respond effectively & keep the community safe.

Young Rhode Islanders are already leading the fight to protect our planet.🌎 Glad to speak with the next generation of environmental leaders. Their voices matter in shaping a healthier future for all of us!

Confidence in Trump’s deal making with Iran? Not high. Shared why with @omarjimenez.bsky.social on @cnn.com — as Americans continue to pay the high cost of Trump’s illegal war of choice with Iran. It must stop now.

Powerful visit at the AAPI History Museum in Providence. As we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, it’s important to recognize the contributions of our AAPI neighbors. Their stories, resilience, and achievements make Rhode Island and our country stronger.

Moved to see the tight-knit North Smithfield community and VFW leaders gather at the old Memorial Town Building to honor our history and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.

☔️ Rain couldn’t stop 13-year-old Julia Paul’s 10th annual lemonade stand in North Smithfield! Every year, Julia raises money for local food pantries to help Rhode Islanders facing food insecurity. She’s making a real difference in our community and certainly has a bright future ahead!☀️

Started Memorial Day at the Victory Gate Ceremony in Barrington. With veterans, families of the fallen, and community members, we heard the names of local service members who gave their lives for our freedom. We are forever grateful for their service.

On #MemorialDay, we pause to honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. Their sacrifice is immeasurable, their courage enduring, and their legacy lives on in the freedoms we carry forward. We must never forget them.

Happy 100th Birthday to Mrs. Alice Gattinella!🎉 From Central Falls to East Providence, she’s long been active in the community, raising 5 kids, being a grand & great-grandma, teaching CCD, and golfing & bowling. What a life! Loved celebrating Mrs. G with her loved ones.

Ahead of Memorial Day, I joined Veterans and community members in Warren to lay a wreath to honor the four local service members who lost their lives in the Vietnam War. Thank you to Judy Fardig, Dave McCarthy, and the Warren Veterans Committee for organizing this meaningful tribute.

Portuguese feast season is off to a great start with the Holy Ghost Beneficial Brotherhood of RI.🇵🇹 Glad to see East Providence celebrate with food, music, and community. Grateful for the warm welcome and the delicious Portuguese hot dog and cacoila!

Joined the moving dedication of the Christine Conrad Lane Memorial Dog Park. Christine, who was tragically lost in the Flight 5342 crash with her son Spencer, loved dogs & volunteered at Rhode Home Rescue. Thanks to Doug Lane, the Barrington community & volunteers for their work.

Honored our fallen heroes at the 10th Annual Operation Stand Down RI Boots on the Ground Ceremony. Each of the 7,000+ combat boots at Fort Adams represents a service member killed in the Global War on Terror. I truly appreciate the volunteers & leaders who help us remember the ultimate sacrifice.

Grateful for the opportunity to visit with the East Providence Veterans Advisory Committee to discuss supporting our veterans. From VA casework to federal action, we have a responsibility to advocate for those who served.

Brown University’s Costs of War & Climate Solutions Lab tabulated the high costs of Trump’s illegal Iran war. ⛽ +$190B per household in gas 💸 $45B in fuel overall Higher transport costs hike grocery prices, like tomatoes up 40%. Read more on how you’re footing the bill ⤵️

📣 @seiu.org members are saying it loud and clear: We need health care, not hate! As the son of a proud SEIU member, I’m fighting alongside them to support health care workers, protect Medicaid, and make sure working people can afford care. We’ve got their backs!

👀Revealed a theft from the American people on the House Floor… It’s time to end the war, stop the chaos, and do something to lower costs for the American people.

In the Ocean State, waterfront industries like fishing & tourism help our communities flourish. That’s why I’m supporting @pingree.house.gov’s Keep America's Waterfronts Working Act to: 🦺Protect jobs 🏗️Strengthen infrastructure 🏖️Improve public access 🌊Support our Blue Economy
