Trump’s reckless tariff taxes cost American families an estimated $1,700 last year.

I helped pass 4 Senate resolutions to revoke harmful tariffs but House Republican leadership are blocking progress on lowering your costs because they’d rather protect Trump than fix affordability.

70 new homes now available in the heart of downtown Woonsocket thanks to significant federal investments I helped deliver. NeighborWorks Blackstone River Valley’s innovative vision here reimagined historic mills into welcoming homes for low- & mid-income RIers.

Trump’s reckless policies are increasing prices & causing economic drag. Instead of taking steps to address affordability he is:
 
A. Posting racist tropes
B. Investigating The View
C. Halting critical infrastructure projects unless cities rename things after him
✅ All of the above

I am disgusted by President Trump’s racist social media post. It’s another symptom of his chaotic and dangerous presidency.

Trump’s immigration chaos needs to end. ICE must stop claiming powers it doesn’t have under law or the Constitution.

Dems are standing up to rein in ICE with real accountability & reforms. Republicans must join us.

Modernized school buildings are a must for learning. Thank you @reed.senate.gov & @bobbyscott.house.gov for introducing the Rebuild America’s Schools Act. Your legislation will address academic and health needs, while creating two million jobs. 💓 democrats-edworkforce.house.gov/media/press-...

We have an opportunity to expand opportunity… and to modernize public schools, create good jobs, & grow the economy while we’re at it.

Teamed up w/ @bobbyscott.house.gov to intro Rebuild America’s Schools Act to free up more fed funding to help states and communities build & improve schools.

Another example of Pres. Trump disregarding the Constitution in pursuit of his personal political aims.

Instead of using the powers of the presidency to help Americans, Trump is abusing his power to line his own pockets.
Trump’s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion
In August, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned.

Less jobs & higher prices. Pres. Trump’s tariff taxes are making life harder for working Americans.

Trump’s brazen ploys and proclamations about interfering with the administration of America’s elections are a grave threat to our democracy.

It’s been a month since Republicans sent health premiums skyrocketing. Now, over 1 million Americans have been priced out of their coverage & millions more are struggling to stay insured.

Senate Republicans could end this today by passing the bipartisan House-passed bill.

You don’t want someone to steal your private data & I’m fighting to make sure they don’t.

Joined colleagues to stop DOJ’s unlawful pressure campaign to coerce dozens of states into providing confidential voter files to Trump.

Any nominee to the Fed must be committed to protecting the Fed’s independence & putting the needs of American families over the personal preferences of the President.

Warsh has sharply criticized the Fed and said it's in need of reform.

The Trump Admin’s repeated attacks on offshore wind hurt workers & our local economy. Grateful Patrick Crowley from @riaflcio.bsky.social could join us today to discuss tremendous work union workers are doing to lower energy costs & power our nation forward.

Who do you believe: Donald Trump’s spin or your own receipts?

We need to lower energy bills. Data centers are driving up costs but we must ensure American families aren’t footing the bill for big tech companies.

@whitehouse.senate.gov & I teamed up w/ @welch.senate.gov & others to press ISO New England on its plan to keep costs down for consumers.

Republicans have a choice: Listen to Americans and swiftly fund every federal agency except ICE so we can ensure real change – OR – Republicans can keep blindly following Trump’s chaos and jeopardize healthcare, defense, transportation, and education funding.
January 27, 2026 at 10:59 PM
If Republicans want to defend the ICE killings in Minneapolis & shut down key federal agencies, that’s their choice. But Senate Democrats can & will stand up for justice, accountability, & real reform and safeguards to prevent continued ICE abuse & unjust lethal force.
January 27, 2026 at 10:02 PM
I’m voting no on the motion to proceed to the appropriations package.

ICE/DHS should not move forward without accountability, investigations, and reforms.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember & mourn the 6 million Jews killed by Nazi genocide. We will not be passive bystanders to atrocities or let liars whitewash history.

We must commit ourselves to rooting out antisemitism, hatred, & bigotry wherever it grows.
