Our ferry service is a fast & convenient way to travel between local waterfronts across Rhode Island. To help connect communities & strengthen our state, I joined the delegation in steering $13.5M in federal funding for RIDOT to upgrade the Providence Ferry Terminal.

Between sky-high prices at home & deteriorating conditions facing our service members abroad, it's clear the American people & our troops are paying the price for Trump's reckless war. But instead of accountability & honesty, Trump treats our military families with open disrespect. It's disgraceful.

I will challenge Trump’s deranged threat to “bomb the shit” out of our ally Oman.

Trump & Hegseth think war is a game. They don't care about preventing civilian harm. From tearing apart the office responsible for minimizing such harm to producing this cover-up report, they are whitewashing the killing of civilians.

The Red Cross just declared a national blood supply crisis—and it’s already impacting treatments. It can mean the difference between life and death. I thanked the professionals at medical sites like ImpactLife in Springfield today for their service.

President Trump is playing right into Kim Jong-Un's hands. Our alliance with South Korea is critical to U.S. security and announcing a decision to unilaterally scale back joint exercises, over social media, all while touting a "very good relationship" with Kim, is a gross miscalculation.

There are some politicians, even here in Wisconsin, who don’t respect the voters’ will. They tried to overturn your vote in 2020. Now, they're pushing to stop eligible voters from voting at all. Not me. I'll always fight to protect your right to vote & have your voice heard.

It’s worth noting that for all the rancor in Congress, we came together earlier this year to pass the ROAD to Housing Act – a deeply bipartisan step forward to address one of the most crushing affordability crises of our time. I was proud to help write it.

Troops aboard the USS Lincoln have been at sea for nearly nine months. Their families are describing severe exhaustion, rotten food, broken toilets—and the Pentagon is denouncing their cries as “fake news.” Secretary Hegseth, how could you let this happen?

Republicans delivered $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid last year. They also delivered $1 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1%. That's not a coincidence.

Stop two on my rural economy tour: a beautiful day to be in Walker on Leech Lake and meet at the library with local leaders. Got an update on the road project that got some federal funding. Like everywhere else they need housing and child care!

Trump promised to bring down the cost of gas. But his reckless war with Iran has pushed it over $4 a gallon. Instead of lowering costs, he’s telling Americans he’ll “never apologize” for raising them.

The "free" Qatari Air Force One has cost us God only knows how much to renovate. Why are we paying for Donald Trump to pimp his ride?

It takes less time to brew an ale than it’s taken Todd Blanche to prove us right: he’ll never be an independent check on the President. When we opposed his confirmation, this was exactly our concern.

I grew up watching my parents, who were both police officers, work hard just to get by. I believe if you work hard, you should be able to build a good life. But right now, people at the very top keep getting ahead while working families fall further behind.

How are these servicemembers supposed to stay focused on keeping our nation safe when the government they work for is trying to deport their parents and siblings?

From Truth Social grifts and crypto scams to no-bid contracts and shady real estate deals, Trump has turned the presidency into a pay-to-play system. While the president is cashing in billions, costs for working families keep rising.

Leaders of the free world aren’t supposed to be trying to win popularity contests with communist dictators. We need to stand with our allies and the forces of freedom, not sell them out to impress a tyrant.

The USS Abraham Lincoln has been deployed for more than 250 days, including more than 200 consecutive days without a port call. Reports of exhaustion, food and water shortages, and serious mental health crises aboard the ship are deeply troubling.

President Trump’s suggestion that North Korea has been “unthreatening and respectful” utterly ignores the regime’s help to Russia’s war in Ukraine and growing number of nuclear weapons, and ballistic missile tests—including one that can reach key allies and the U.S.

When will Trump stop embracing dictators and alienating our allies? When I visited South Korea last year, we reaffirmed the importance of joint exercises to keep our troops ready and our allies secure. Gutting them to appease nuclear-armed Kim Jong Un is a grave mistake.

My team and I have been closely monitoring the damage from Lala. As we begin our recovery efforts, I’m committed to assisting state and county partners in identifying and accessing any federal resources that are needed to help impacted residents throughout the state. Stay safe, everybody.

Trump’s memorandum of misunderstanding with Iran has been an utter failure and complete flop that has delivered no progress towards his stated goals – but has hammered Americans with gas skyrocketing above $4 per gallon.

No one should have to choose between filling a prescription and paying the bills. I'm working to lower the cost of prescription drugs and create a more affordable, accessible, and sustainable health care system.

This is an insult to the service members wounded and those who perished – and all of their families who have sacrificed alongside them. I’m pushing to make sure our service members and their families get the dignity, respect, and benefits they’ve earned.

Trump is putting our troops in harm’s way with his illegal war in Iran. Now, he’s starving them with concerning conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Our servicemembers and their families deserve better than denials and coverups from this administration. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act to make sure that NO president can abuse their office to profit off the presidency. With each passing day, it’s clearer and clearer why we need to get this bill passed and stop presidential crypto schemes in their tracks.

No parent should have to take on debt just to get their kids ready for school. My Back-to-School Supplies Affordability Act would get Trump’s tariffs off essential school supplies and bring costs down for families.

Our brave men and women in uniform are paying a steep price for the Trump Admin’s incoherent strategy & poorly planned war. Instead of dismissing the valid concerns of U.S. Navy sailors & their families, President Trump should listen & course correct.

BRAZEN SELF-DEALING: Trump’s hand-picked regulator approved Trump’s application to charter a bank. With this approval, Trump stands to make millions. I guess making $2.4 billion; living in a taxpayer funded mansion; and flying in a foreign 'donated' plane wasn’t enough.

Despite claims that President Trump’s Anti-Weaponization Fund is “dead,” Todd Blanche's DOJ continues to pursue other means of funneling taxpayer money from DOJ’s Judgment Fund to political allies and enablers. 🧵
