Wastewater systems aren’t too glamorous, but boy does it stink when they don’t work. That’s why investments – like this $3.25M earmark I delivered for Coventry to extend sewer line to the HS & dozens of local homes – are key to protecting public health & our environment.

Members of Congress should not own or trade individual stocks. Period. The GOP bill is a sham. Instead of shutting down Congressional stock trades, it opens loopholes & has unrelated voter suppression language that’s already been rejected on a bipartisan basis.

Congress must act to lower the cost-of-living. Working families keep paying more in Trump’s economy while the wealthiest reap huge benefits. Joined @epi-ri.bsky.social to talk about my fight for commonsense policies & meaningful change to help everyday RIers get ahead.

Trump’s 2024 ‘Final Battle’ Ad Returns, Funded by Public Money
The ad, which ethics experts said could violate federal law, shows Mr. Trump vowing to “expel the warmongers” from the government and fight the “deep state,” even as he wages a war with Iran.

Trump’s policies and tariffs have increased the cost of housing and pushed homeownership out of reach for more Americans. Congress must help lower costs, halt tariffs, alleviate housing crunch, and ensure wise implementation of The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.

Congress must play a role in establishing clear guardrails and sensible speed limits for AI use by our armed forces. Americans deserve answers about alarming public reports about faulty AI intel and operations. I’m fighting for transparency and accountability.

While the President dismisses the need for AI guardrails, continued public reports point to the dangers of rushing AI deployment by U.S. military. @markwarner.bsky.social @coons.senate.gov & I are demanding immediate investigations.

The costs of Trump’s reckless war in Iran climb by billions each month, even as this Admin refuses to acknowledge the munitions crisis & damages that threaten our nat’l security. Congress cannot do its job when Sec. Hegseth’s Pentagon won’t tell the truth.

Pentagon’s count leaves out some deaths in Middle East during Iran war

Under Sec. Hegseth’s failed leadership, DOD has obfuscated the numbers of wounded servicemembers in Iran and reclassified American deaths under a new operation name to avoid contradicting Pres. Trump. This is not only wrong – it is profoundly disrespectful to our troops and their families.

The Trump Admin has hidden the true costs of the President’s reckless Iran war since day one. Americans deserve to know why their loved ones are risking their lives overseas. Taxpayers deserve to know what this war costs.

President Kennedy understood that the arts and humanities draw us together. President Trump – through actions like this – spends too much time trying to divide Americans and misuse the levers of public office for personal vanity & private gain.

Trump is wrong to reject AI guardrails. His shortsighted view increases the likelihood that AI will be misused by bad actors or unsafely sped up by corporate interests at the expense of the public. Congress must provide effective oversight, standards & governance. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-d...
