Doug Lane from Barrington lost his wife and son on American Airlines Flight 5342. He's turned his grief into purpose, advocating for the ROTOR Act to prevent future collisions. Together, we are calling on every member of Congress to pass this bill and make our skies safer.

#UPDATE: Gov. Dan McKee said that the travel ban in Rhode Island will end at noon on Tuesday. https://www.wpri.com/weather/winter-weather/winter-weather-weekend-feb-20-23/ 

Winter Storm Hernando is causing record-breaking snowfall and damaging winds across Rhode Island. Our congressional delegation is calling for federal assistance to be available for emergency operations and recovery from this historic blizzard.

Grateful for emergency management officials, public works teams, health care workers & first responders keeping Rhode Islanders safe as the snow and wind continue. If you experience a power outage, report it to RI Energy at 1-855-743-1101. Stay home and stay safe, RI.

A winter storm is on the way. ❄️🌨️ Make sure you’re prepared with these tips from Jim Cantore and the Weather Channel.

This past week, I met with Rhode Islanders across #RI01 who are struggling because Trump and his cronies in Congress are raising costs and spreading cruelty. Here’s what I heard about the REAL state of our union.

Rhode Island is expecting a serious winter storm Sunday night into Monday with heavy snow, high winds, and coastal flooding. See 🧵below for tips to handle the storm:

The Supreme Court struck down Trump’s unilateral tariffs, which have jacked up costs for Rhode Island families and small businesses. But he's threatening to find new ways to drive up prices. Let’s break down what this means and why need to keep fighting.

For decades, Amos House has helped our neighbors facing homelessness and poverty. Grateful to see them uplift Rhode Islanders through supportive housing, job training, and one of our state’s largest soup kitchens.

Spent time with seniors at Middletown Senior Center. Under Trump, seniors’ health care is under threat — Republicans slashed over $500 billion from Medicare. I’ll keep fighting to protect Medicare and lower health costs.

Resources are available for Rhode Islanders struggling in the aftermath of the Lynch Arena shooting. 📞Dial 9-8-8 to talk to a counselor 💻Visit governor.ri.gov/SupportHub for mental health supports, domestic violence resources, and other guidance

The Supreme Court confirmed what we said all along: Trump can’t unilaterally jack up prices & make Americans pay. This is a victory for the rule of law & for RI families and small businesses facing skyrocketing prices. We fought for this win & will keep fighting to lower costs.

Trump is slashing science funding. That’s the real State of the Union. Toured Brown University’s new life sciences lab being built by Building Futures RI & union labor. I’m fighting to make sure researchers & scientists have funding to take advantage of these new facilities.

In my next stop on Trump’s real State of the Union, I met Reentry College Program leaders helping folks rebuild after prison. Trump’s restricting Pell Grant access, making it harder for returning citizens to earn an education & get on their feet. We can’t leave anyone behind.

Ramadan Mubarak! Wishing all observing in Rhode Island and around the world a peaceful and blessed holy month.

To all those celebrating across #RI01 and the world, Happy Lunar New Year! As we welcome the Year of the Fire Horse, may it bring boldness, passion, and the courage to chase new beginnings.

If you or a loved one are struggling in the aftermath of the shooting at Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, help is available.  📞Dial 9-8-8 if you are in crisis to talk to a counselor 🔗Visit governor.ri.gov/SupportHub for additional resources

My statement on the passing of Civil Rights legend Jesse Jackson.

The real State of the Union under Trump means higher prices, unaffordable groceries, and fewer opportunities. Visited FeedRI’s Hope Market in Rumford, which is helping Rhode Islanders put food on the table while Republicans are squeezing budgets and leaving families struggling.

My full statement on the shooting in Pawtucket at Lynch Arena.

My thoughts are with the victims of the shooting in Pawtucket. Grateful to our law enforcement and first responders for acting swiftly. Please avoid the area and follow the guidance of local officials.

Meta platforms are tied to one-third of successful U.S. scams. Consumers pay the price while Meta rakes in billions. I’m leading the bipartisan Stop Scams Caucus to demand accountability and shut down the criminal networks exploiting Americans.

Good news for Newport’s North End! I secured nearly $1.1 million in federal funds to remove dangerous lead pipes. Every family deserves clean, safe water.

Roses are red and the Ocean State is sweet, Rhode Island’s where lovers and travelers meet. From cozy inns to beaches kissed by the sun, We are small, romantic, proud to be ranked number one! 💘 www.travelandleisure.com/rhode-island...

Trump’s tariffs ruin another holiday.

Roses are red, violets are blue. From Newport to Woonsocket to Tiverton too, Rhode Island’s the best,  To the Ocean State, I ❤️you!

The corruption continues. Clearly, Trump calls his Budget Director the “grim reaper” for a reason. This man claims to be a person of faith but steals money from kids dying from starvation to protect himself. Don’t know where that is in the Bible. www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

Enjoyed spending time with Special Olympics Rhode Island staff and teammates, Eduardo Castro Rivera and Daniel Gagne from Central Falls High School. Inspired by Special Olympics RI’s commitment to unlocking the courage of their athletes and the joy in sports & competition for all!

Congressional Republicans are choosing to continue ICE and DHS’ chaos. They won’t stop warrantless arrests. They won’t unmask agents. They won’t protect U.S. citizens from abuse. I’m saying no more blank checks for ICE to terrorize our communities.

Ahead of this month’s celebration of independence, thrilled to welcome so many RIers to the annual ‘Dominicans on the Hill’ program. Honored to represent this wonderfully diverse, vibrant community in Congress!

Trump’s tariffs took $1,000 out of the pockets of working families — with more to come in 2026. And now his cronies in Congress are working hard to prevent us from rolling them back. We need to undo these tariffs. Working families shouldn’t have to pay the price.

Good news for Newport’s North End! I secured nearly $1.1 million to remove dangerous lead pipes. Every family deserves clean, safe water.🚰💧

Gathered with nonprofit leaders and engaged citizens organized by RENEWport to talk about how Trump’s policies are hurting Rhode Islanders. From skyrocketing costs to ICE’s terror campaign, we are fighting back to protect our communities.

Good luck to Team USA and all the Rhode Islanders at the Winter Olympics!

ICE remains out of control. We cannot let the status quo continue and must hold to our demands. No more taxpayer dollars until they stop abusive tactics, Congress puts enforceable guardrails in place, and we see accountability for the cruelty and chaos.

Saw where Tiffany & Co’s Cumberland team hand makes the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Can't wait for Drake Maye and the @patriots.bsky.social to bring it home. 🏆🤞🏿

Congrats on having one less job, Marco. Now you can focus on making sure kids don't starve and restoring America's global standing, which your boss has destroyed.

JUST IN from @bloomberg.com: 📉Most January job cuts since the Great Recession. 📉108,435 job cuts last month alone. Might be a ‘Golden Age’ for billionaires, but not for anybody else.

Trump may lie, but the numbers speak for themselves. ​His chaotic tariffs are dragging American manufacturers down.

Great meeting the Rhode Island students I nominated to our nation’s service academies. Their commitment to service and leadership gives me hope for our future.

Republicans rejected my efforts to hold ICE accountable, repeal their $75 billion slush fund & instead invest that money into health care. Then House Republicans voted to keep the status quo in funding ICE. That’s just wrong. I'll keep fighting to end the chaos & cruelty.

Grabbed a cup of joe at Bitty & Beau’s in Providence. ☕ Run by Rhode Islanders with disabilities, the shop helps celebrate the abilities of all in our community. Special thanks to Sean, Maggie, Rosie, and Ronen for a fantastic coffee!

Trump & Rubio aren’t cutting waste, they’re creating it by burning food aid and trashing medicine. I introduced the SUPPLIES Act to protect the lifesaving aid Americans have already paid for and make sure it ends up in the hands of people in need, not the incinerator.

Black History Month is a time to reflect on the journey and contributions of Black Americans. This Black History Month, despite the attacks on a full telling of our nation’s story, we must recommit to preserving truth as we continue to work for progress.

Kristi Noem's masked agents have violated Constitutional rights and killed Americans. It's time for accountability and that must include Noem’s removal or impeachment. She’s got to go.

For 86 years, Social Security has been there for seniors. Now Trump’s billionaire buddies want to privatize it. Receipts ⬇️

Thank goodness, and they must release them quickly. But no children should ever be detained. Now we need ICE out of our communities and to remove Kristi Noem. x.com/cnnbrk/statu...

Trump’s driving health care costs through the roof. It's the last day of open enrollment in RI & Republicans' refusal to extend ACA tax credits is forcing families to make tough choices. Find coverage at healthsourceri.com and I'll keep fighting to lower costs.

Rhode Island: bitterly cold temperatures are here. Heed the advice to limit time outdoors, bundle up, and check on your neighbors who may need help. Find emergency warming centers here: riema.ri.gov/warming-cent... Stay safe and warm.
