Health care costs are skyrocketing because Trump & Congressional Republicans didn’t extend ACA tax credits. Should be an easy yes when @housedemocrats.bsky.social force a vote to lower costs. Let’s see how many House Republicans join us to help 22 million Americans get covered.

Trump has no plan for Americans seeing grocery and health care costs skyrocket. Now he says he’s running Venezuela with no plan, too? House Republicans need to step up to prevent Trump from starting new wars for oil & conquest and focus on lowering costs.

1/ RM @meeks.house.gov: Trump claims the U.S. “will run Venezuela” and is willing to put “boots on the ground” and take Venezuelan oil. This is the language of forever wars, committing U.S. forces and American taxpayers to a dangerous and open-ended foreign occupation.

Opposing Maduro isn’t a permission slip for regime change, oil grabs, or ignoring Congress. Congress must stop Trump from acting with impunity. My full statement on his unconstitutional military action:

By slamming the brakes on offshore wind projects, Trump is jeopardizing union jobs and forcing higher energy costs on Rhode Islanders. Proud to stand with RI leaders to fight back against Trump’s anti-job growth and pro high-cost agenda.

Secretary Rubio said food & lifesaving aid would continue under Trump’s foreign aid freeze. Instead, cuts pushed pregnant women & children in Kenya toward starvation. On @houseforeign.bsky.social, I’m fighting to restore lifesaving aid and American leadership.

As we welcome 2026, we look ahead with hope and a shared belief in possibilities. The New Year is a time for fresh starts, stronger connections, and optimism. Here’s to a meaningful, purposeful, and hope filled 2026 for all!

Happy New Year!🎆 Wishing Rhode Islanders peace and joy in 2026.

Rhode Islanders ringing in the New Year, make sure you have a plan to get home safely! Have fun and see you all in 2026. 🎆🎉

This holiday season, Smithfield’s Marco Conti is helping Make-A-Wish kids see their dreams come true.​ A big thanks to Marco for spreading cheer to local kids with critical illnesses and their families.

Joined some of my youngest constituents at the Providence Children’s Museum to count down to the ‘Noon’ Year. With fun music and a mini New Year’s ball drop, it was a great celebration to kick off 2026 early! 🎉

Tens of thousands of Rhode Islanders will begin 2026 unable to afford health care because House Republicans let Affordable Care Act tax credits expire at midnight tonight. Republicans should join @housedemocrats.bsky.social in voting to restore the credits & stop the health cost hikes.

By cutting the Social Security Administration workforce and reducing customer service, Trump is making it harder for access to benefits. They’re breaking SS and will try to force a bad fix: privatization. Americans earn Social Security, and I’ll keep fighting to protect it.

Pushing regime change abroad while shifting rationales at home weakens American leadership and makes us less safe. We need real answers and a stop to Trump's unilateral attempts to drag us into an illegal war.

For months, Rhode Islanders have shared how their health care costs will skyrocket when ACA tax credits expire because of House Republicans’ inaction. I’m going to keep fighting to stop the cuts, extend the tax credits, and save health care.

From preschoolers to seniors, labor leaders and workers, social service agencies and small businesses, I’ve enjoyed meeting with so many Rhode Islanders in 2025. Hearing their perspectives guides my work in Congress. I will keep listening and elevating their stories in 2026.

Middle-income families, early retirees & small businesses make up the people who will be hardest hit by the expiration of the ACA tax credits. Premiums are about to skyrocket and force impossible choices. Congress must vote resoundingly to lower health care costs.

Enjoyed meeting Rhode Island’s National American Miss Jr. Teen, Gabriela Paulino. To show gratitude for the lifesaving efforts after her own premature birth, she started a nonprofit to support NICUs. Gabriela’s work shows you're never too young to give back!

Republican cuts to clean energy tax credits in their Big, Ugly, Law mean higher energy costs for Rhode Islanders.📈 I’m supporting @mikethompson.house.gov’s American Energy Independence and Affordability Act to ⚡bolster clean energy production 📉 lower costs 🦺 protect American jobs

Thank you to our snowplow crews who worked overnight to clear the roads. Please give yourself extra time and drive safely this morning.❄️⛄️

At 7 years old, Aria Grajales, from Cumberland is already making a positive impact. ​Thank you for supporting Rhode Islanders through the Northern RI Food Pantry this holiday season!🥫

Merry Christmas, Rhode Island! In the spirit of our state’s motto, I hope the holidays bring us closer together to renew our commitment to brighter days ahead.

From my heart to yours: Merry Christmas, Rhode Islanders!

’Twas the night before Christmas throughout #RI01, Not a creature was stirring, a mouse there was none. As children rest easy & stockings are hung, I’m grateful for neighbors, old & young. From Newport to Woonsocket and everywhere lights glow bright, Merry Christmas to all, & to all a good night!

Trump’s DOGE was never about cutting waste, it was about creating chaos and confusion. Ultimately, it was government INEFFICIENCY and made spending go UP. 📈📈📈 www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

Relieved to hear that seven students have now been discharged from Rhode Island Hospital. We will keep supporting one another as our community heals. www.wpri.com/news/7-brown...

This year, prices for the most popular holiday gifts rose by an average of 26% — thanks to Trump's tariffs. You deserve better.

Stopped by Family Service RI to thank them for leaping into action to support the Brown, Providence & Rhode Island communities in the aftermath of the tragic shooting. If you or a loved one needs help, go to: providenceri.gov/communityresponseresources

Thank you, Providence Fire Department, for running right into danger at Brown and for always going above & beyond.

My statement on Trump's latest attack on Rhode Island offshore wind.

The Nonprofit Security Grant Program I’ve championed in Congress provides key security resources to at-risk nonprofits and faith groups. I held an info session to help RI orgs apply. If your group may be eligible, find further resources at the link below: riema.ri.gov/fiscal-branc...

After dozens of mysterious drone sightings throughout the northeast last year, we need to know what’s in our skies. I’m proud to join Congressman Kean on our bipartisan Drone Safety Enhancement Act to make sure we use this new tech for good.

This holiday season, so many are stepping up for our neighbors because that’s what we do in Rhode Island – we look out for each other.

Joined community members at the Nonviolence Institute for the Night of Remembrance to honor loved ones lost to acts of violence. Thank you to the institute for supporting so many navigating the long process of grieving and healing.

Spent the morning at the Elisha Project’s Holiday Share Market to help spread holiday cheer. Great to see so many volunteers helping our neighbors in need.

Visited the memorial outside Brown’s Barus and Holley Hall to mourn the loss of Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov. My thoughts remain with their families, the survivors, and the entire community as we stand together to heal.

Thank you to the Rhode Island Hospital medical professionals whose steadiness and compassionate care made a difference for students wounded in the tragic Brown shooting. Rhode Island is grateful for your service.

We have the votes to extend the ACA tax credits NOW. But House Republicans chose to let health care premiums skyrocket for 22 million Americans in less than two weeks — and go home early. We should be voting immediately to help people afford their health care.

22 million Americans deserve health care they can afford. We should vote TODAY.

Alongside my partner in this work, @magaziner.house.gov, we led our House colleagues in a moment of silence for the victims of the Brown University mass shooting. For the extended Brown and RI communities, we stand together to heal and work towards the safety we all deserve.

Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov should be here today taking their finals and getting ready for winter break. Their senseless deaths have left a hole at Brown and in Providence. My thoughts are with their families, loved ones, and the Brown community during this incredibly difficult time.

As the investigation continues, if you have any information about the suspect in the Brown University shooting, please call the tipline at (401) 652-5767. If you have any useful video footage, you can submit it at the link below. fbi.gov/brownunivers...

Joined our neighbors to mourn the two Brown students whose lives were taken & pray for the survivors of the tragic shooting. Thank you to Mayor Smiley, @govdanmckee.bsky.social for their strong leadership and our law enforcement & first responders for their efforts. We must stand together to heal.

On this more somber day in Rhode Island, we are reminded by Hanukkah that light will conquer darkness.  May all those observing today experience the peace and brightness our world deserves.

My thoughts are with the Australian Jewish community after the antisemitic attack on a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi beach.  No matter where in the world it occurs, we must work to end terrorism, violence, and antisemitism.

My statement on shooting at Brown University.

I am monitoring the shooting at Brown University and in touch with law enforcement. If you are in danger call 911. If you are in the area please stay inside and allow law enforcement to do their work.  Anyone with information, please contact the Providence Police Department.

Helped distribute holiday essentials at the 16th annual Community Angels Annual Coat and Toy Drive! 🧥🎁 Serving over 3,000 kids and families annually, I’m grateful for the work of the Community Angels as they spread joy and uplift Rhode Island families during the holiday season.
