Child care costs have skyrocketed and working parents are paying the price. I am co-sponsoring Rep. Bobby Scott's Child Care for Working Families Act to fund child care and ensure families pay no more than 7 percent of their income on care. This puts kids and families first.

70 years ago, U.S. farmers with surplus wheat helped launch the Food for Peace program, sparking decades of bipartisan food aid, including life-saving products from Edesia. This year, the Trump Administration cut that funding. It’s time to restore it—and save lives.

Right now, $8 million worth of lifesaving food is sitting in a warehouse in Rhode Island, already paid for by taxpayer, while children around the world starve. This is a moral failure. And I will speak out until the Trump Administration restores this critical food aid.

I am grateful that Andry Hernandez Romero has been released from the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador. I will continue to monitor his status in Venezuela.

Yesterday, a bipartisan group of congressional staff from across the country visited Edesia Nutrition in North Kingstown. Congress has long supported manufacturers like Edesia for their lifesaving work feeding children around the world.

A beautiful day celebrating Cranston’s Italian-American community at the St. Mary’s Feast procession in Knightsville. Buona Festa! 🇮🇹 ⚓️

🚨NEW: After Congresswoman Chellie Pingree 🇺🇸🇺🇦, Congressman Gabe Amo & my advocacy, NOAA’s IOOS program is getting funds to monitor ocean weather, support marine rescues, and give fishermen the data they need to do their jobs. The restoration of this funding is a win for coastal states & the blue economy.

🚨REP. MAGAZINER: JOHNSON IS COMPLICIT IN THE EPSTEIN COVERUP. “House Democrats…are prepared to vote to direct the DOJ to release everything they have…Trump doesn't want (info out) about who’s associated with Epstein because Trump (we suspect) is one of those people.”

He’s bragging about taking bribes… In broad daylight. By the way, I have a bill to stop presidents from starting lawsuits to cash in like this.

A proud moment for Rhode Island: Pope Leo recognized the first miracle of his papacy, right in Pawtucket! Congratulations to Rhode Island’s Catholic community on this historic recognition. providencejournal.com/story/lifestyl…

Earlier this month, I stood w/ state & local leaders to demand Trump reverse cuts to education. Now $6.5 million for afterschool programs is being restored for RI. This is a big win, but there are millions to go and we will not rest until funding for all RI students is back.

I visited the Edesia Nutrition Factory in North Kingstown over the weekend. It is long past time that the Trump administration honor its word and get the shipments moving again.

I organized a forum with my House Homeland Security Committee Democrats colleagues, @RepDeliaRamirez and Rep. Dan Goldman, to elevate the stories of innocent people who have been caught up in the cruelty of Donald Trump’s extreme deportation policies. Here is what the Trump Admin doesn’t want you to see: 🧵👇🏼

I want to hear from you. We need good ideas that make life better for people. I’m launching a new series all about good ideas, and I want your help: If you have an idea that would make a good policy, comment, DM, or contact my office! Let's build a positive agenda together.

I was honored to attend the Tomaquag Museum’s Annual Honoring & Cultural Celebration, a gathering that uplifts Indigenous culture, and history in RI. This museum is about preserving Native heritage and making sure these stories are seen, heard, and passed on.

🚨 Today I reintroduced my bill to guarantee paid time off for American workers. Everyone who works hard deserves to have some time off. My PTO Act will ensure every full-time worker gets two weeks off and can use it for any reason.

The starvation in Gaza is a humanitarian crisis. Children are dying and doctors are too hungry to work. Aid must be surged and allowed in NOW.

Last week, it was reported that the Trump Administration is destroying 500 tons of emergency food aid because it expired while sitting in a warehouse. Food that had already been paid for. Food meant to save the lives of malnourished children. We cannot be silent about this.

Great news: After weeks of public pressure, the Trump admin is releasing the $5B+ in K-12 school funding it illegally froze. This is a win for students and teachers, and I was proud to advocate to get these critical funds flowing again for Rhode Island. washingtonpost.com/education/2025…

After another crazy week in Washington, it is so nice to be back home with my family at the FirstWorks Summer Beats concert series at Roger Williams Park!
