This isn’t leadership — it’s pandering. Instead of calling on our federal delegation to do the right thing and pass a clean continuing resolution (CR), Governor McKee chooses to play politics. Democrats have to stop holding Americans hostage to political theater. Congress needs

I’m joining governors across the U.S. to call on President Trump to act immediately to prevent a disruption in SNAP on November 1. Millions of families rely on this program to put food on the table. It’s not optional, it’s essential and we won't stand by while people go hungry.

Quonset Business Park is now home to 15,000+ jobs — including 1 in 5 manufacturing jobs in Rhode Island. Rhode Islanders are building the future right here. Good jobs. Good wages. A stronger Rhode Island.

It’s free speech week! Long before the First Amendment was written, Roger Williams, who founded Providence Plantations Rhode Island, championed freedom of conscience and speech. Banished for his beliefs, he built a community where every voice could be heard—a conviction that

Remember when the administration refused to fix the oxygen system at Zambarano - a state hospital? During Senate Oversight Committee hearing, they claimed they never said that — even though an email from a hospital administrator stated, word for word, that they would not fix it.
