Magaziner Statement on President Trump’s Executive Orders

January 21, 2025 Press Release “D on ald Trump had the opportunity to start his new administrati on as a unifier for our country. Instead, he has chosen to take a series of extreme acti on s that will further divide us by making it easier for the wealthy to cheat on their taxes, for big corporati on s to pollute, for the government to discriminate against LGBTQ+ Americans, and eliminating funding for public health, am on g other extreme acti on s. His decisi on to pard on violent criminals who attacked police officers at the Capitol on January 6th sends a particularly dangerous message. “N on e of these orders will strengthen the ec on omy or lower costs, which is what the American people care about the most. I remain committed to working with the administrati on whenever it is good for Rhode Island, but President Trump needs to listen to the people who want comm on sense soluti on s and not endless culture wars.”
