Stopping the flow of drugs is a priority, but Trump’s budget proposals cut drug treatment funding and wanted to slash a host of law enforcement resources. These misguided Trump cuts are hurting American families & communities.

If Trump was serious about stopping drug traffickers, he wouldn’t be doing them favors.

Congress passed IDEA to ensure students w/ disabilities have the same access to a high-quality public education as their peers. 50 yrs later, amidst Trump’s efforts to eliminate @USEdGov, I’m working to keep that promise to students, families, & educators.
Do you know how many millions of students have been helped under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)? Check out some of the facts and figures behind this life changing law as we celebrate 50 years of IDEA. #IDEA50

The entire video of the September 2nd strike ordered by Secretary Hegseth should be released to Congress & shared with the American people. Joined @DanaBashCNN to discuss bipartisan efforts to demand facts, materials, & accountability.

Top Dem on Senate Armed Services Cmte @SenJackReed says he is "very suspicious" that the administration is "trying to cover up what took place" with the double-tap boat strike in the Caribbean. Reed tells me, "I think there are serious issues of legality."

As families brace for cold weather & higher utility bills, $24M in delayed LIHEAP funding for RI is finally being released by the Trump Administration. We can’t just leave vulnerable people in the cold. I will continue pressing to lower utility bills & increase LIHEAP aid.

Runaway energy costs are putting a heavy strain on too many RIers. Leading bipartisan effort to demand Trump Admin swiftly releases $4 billion in LIHEAP assistance that helps vulnerable families & seniors afford their energy bills & stay warm in cold winter months.

Secretary Hegseth’s partisan attempt to use the military justice system against @SenMarkKelly is an outrageous abuse of power. This is political retribution straight from the autocrat playbook. It has no place in America. And it won’t work.

Libraries & museums are beloved community institutions and @US_IMLS supports their critical work. In a big win for the public, the Trump Admin has been barred from dismantling IMLS and undercutting federal support for public libraries & museums. I’ll continue to champion
