In Rhode Island, respect for freedom of religion is in our DNA. We strongly condemn violence against houses of worship of all types. Our hearts are with the people of the Islamic Center of San Diego who were attacked and we stand together against anti-Muslim hatred.

This is an unprecedented level of corruption. Trump is forcing the government to drop ALL tax audits of him, his family, and his businesses—giving him FULL IMMUNITY from prosecution. What is Trump hiding from the American people? Congress must step up and stop this corruption.

Today, Blanche got very offended when I called him out for continuing to act like Trump's personal attorney. Now, we learn he quietly signed a deal to bar the IRS from EVER reexamining Trump's, his family's, or his companies' prior taxes. How does this serve the American people?

It’s unforgivable. Trump made thousands of stock trades to benefit himself, while working Americans are paying the cost of his reckless policies. I'm fighting to ban high-ranking government officials from trading stocks, including the president and members of Congress.

Every American knows Trump’s $1.8 BILLION slush fund is rotten to the core. It’s an obvious ripoff of American taxpayers. And it’s totally indefensible.

My heart is with the families affected by the tragic shooting at the San Diego Islamic Center, a sacred place of worship. Anti-Muslim rhetoric is skyrocketing and it is unacceptable. No community should live in fear of violence against them because of their faith.

We can't afford veterans' pensions, but we can spend a billion dollars a day on an illegal war nobody voted for. As a veteran, I'll never accept that. Grateful to speak about it this morning at the 2026 Center for American Progress IDEAS Conference.

Sam represented the best of our city and our country. He came here as an immigrant, and through his hard work and hospitality made a name for himself and his family. Sam will be dearly missed.

What have universal school vouchers done for Arizona? They’ve setback students’ education, wasted taxpayer money, and taken resources from public schools. I’m fighting to protect public education, because Republicans’ national school voucher program will only make this worse.

We must condemn islamophobia and all forms of hate in the loudest of terms. No one – no one – in America should have to live in fear of hate crimes or gun violence, but so many of us do – in our places of worship, in our streets, in the grocery aisle, in our schools.

Nearly 2 BILLION dollars for his MAGA slush fund, a billion more for his gilded ballroom, and NOT ONE serious plan to lower costs for the families forced to pay the bill.

Trump is creating a nearly $2 billion slush fund with YOUR tax dollars to pay off his insurrectionist allies. This is where your money is actually going. I pushed to stop it. Republicans voted to allow it to happen. Shameful.

Did you know Trump's former personal attorney, who's now the Acting Attorney General, will appoint whoever he wants to oversee a $1.8 BILLION slush fund for Trump's political allies? First, Trump pardoned violent insurrectionists, and now he wants taxpayers to pay them off.

As electricity prices soar, Eversource is raking in record profits, and its executives are raking in seven-figure salaries and bonuses—driven directly by those excess profits. Families should not struggle to pay their bills while the CEOs take home millions.
