Speaker Johnson has kept the House closed since September 19.

While Republicans are on vacation, the govt has shut down & millions of Americans are about to see their health care costs skyrocket.

We are demanding that he call the House back to work to address this crisis.

Open enrollment is right around the corner, and Rhode Islanders' health insurance costs are about to explode.

We can’t wait another day for relief from the health care affordability crisis. It’s time to act – no more kicking the can down the road.

As the state that established the first official Navy in the American colonies, Rhode Island knows the importance of a strong Navy.

Happy 250th birthday to the United States Navy, and thank you to all the sailors who serve our country. ⚓🇺🇸

I am grateful that after two years of unspeakable suffering, the last living Israeli hostages have returned home and peace restored in Gaza.

I pray that leaders throughout the region will demonstrate the wisdom, compassion and humility necessary for the ceasefire to endure.

Americans are dealing with crushing health care costs. Republicans in Congress chose to shut the government down instead of working with us on solutions.

I’m fighting to reopen the government and lower costs for Rhode Islanders.

Everyone deserves access to affordable, high-quality care. But RIers are facing a health care crisis.

I’m ready to vote for a budget that lowers costs & strengthens the health care system. Republicans in Congress just need to work with us.

Today we celebrated the opening of the Crossroads Summer Street Apartments in Providence – 176 new permanent homes for Rhode Islanders.

This is a major step forward in tackling the housing crisis and making Rhode Island a more affordable place to live.

In these challenging and uncertain times, the United Way of RI continues to provide essential support to nonprofits, families and individuals in need. I enjoyed meeting with the UWRI team today and continue to be grateful for their work.

The 80% of Americans who want health care funding in the budget are not “terrorists”, they are every people who can’t afford for their premiums to double.

Stop whining and call a vote on a budget that includes health care funding. It’s that simple.

Today I met with the RI National Guard in Cranston. The brave men & women in RING are among the many who may have to work w/o pay because of the shutdown.

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to call Congress back so we can do our jobs, fix the health care crisis, & reopen the government.

Young families in Rhode Island are already stretching every last dollar they make.

Under the Republican budget, a family for 4 making $64k would see health care costs rise by $216 a month.

Instead of fixing this, Republicans in Congress shut down the government and took a vacation.

Today I met with health care providers at South County Hospital to discuss how Congressional Republicans are putting the health care system at risk by refusing to extend ACA funding in the budget.

We need to reopen the government with a budget that protects care for Rhode Islanders.

Boxes of lifesaving food aid manufactured by @edesianutrition.bsky.social in NK are finally moving again to hungry children around the world.

This is the result of months of advocacy and proof that even in these challenging times, it’s still possible to get good things done.
