recently Trump's Agriculture Secretary bragged with great pride about kicking 4.5 million Americans off of SNAP. At a time when Republicans' tariffs and wars have jacked up grocery prices, it is not good news that Trump and Republicans are…

Rhode Islanders have had enough of Trump's reign of terror. Across my State, they know when so-called enforcement becomes intimidation, when profiling and abuse are rampant, and when accountability is absent. Now, instead of restoring…

last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was asked why Americans don't feel better about the economy. His answer: ``Well in their heart of hearts they feel good.'' Let him tell that to the families in Pawtucket who are paying more at…

Today, as Rhode Island digs out from a historic blizzard, we rise to honor two Rhode Islanders, Rhonda and Aiden Dorgan, whose lives tragically ended in the horrific shooting at a high school hockey game last week in Pawtucket. Three other…

I rise on behalf of Spencer and Christine Lane of Barrington, Rhode Island, whose lives were tragically taken on January 29, 2025, in the midair collision that claimed 67 lives. I have spoken with Doug Lane and other families who are…

Republicans are trying yet again to write a blank check for ICE while American families struggle to afford the basics. If we defeat the previous question, we can claw back the $75 billion in the ICE slush fund that Trump and Republicans…

today, students returned to class at Brown University to start a new semester after the mass shooting in December that took the lives of Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov and injured nine other students. My thoughts remain with the…

As technology evolves, so must our technology security policies. Our export control regulations were written at a time when remote access of controlled technologies was not an acute threat. Today, as Russian and PRC entities find more and…

I rise to honor two students, Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, whose lives were tragically ended in the horrific mass shooting at Brown University this weekend. Nine other students were injured in the shooting. Eight remain in the…

putting food on the table is about to get exponentially harder thanks to the $187 billion Republicans cut from SNAP in their big, ugly law. These harmful cuts impact roughly 35,000 Rhode Islanders. We saw the devastating consequences of…

Thanksgiving is next week, and this year, families are paying more because of the President. The staple items for this classic American holiday cost, on average, 7 percent more than last year. Take my favorite side, stuffing. A box of…

this week we are celebrating America's direct support professionals, the dedicated workers who support Rhode Islanders with disabilities, workers like Amy from Woonsocket, who said: The best part of being a DSP is that every day is never…

Alan Hassenfeld, another titan in Rhode Island, spent his life bettering the lives of countless individuals in our country and around the world. Born in Providence in 1948, Alan dedicated his professional life to bringing joy to…

as Congressman John Lewis said: ``We live together in the same house. If one section of our house begins to rot, the entire structure is in danger of collapsing.'' This week marks 5 years since his passing, but his words are more important…

budgets are a statement of values, and Republicans have made their values crystal clear. They value those who can buy crystals over the working class. They value putting the needs of the wealthy few over the vulnerable. They value making…

As many of my colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus have laid out, Donald Trump has failed the American people. That is why I am grateful to my colleagues, Representatives Kamlager-Dove and Brown, for leading this Special Order…

Today, I also rise in support of the lifesaving producer of humanitarian aid, Rhode Island's own nonprofit, Edesia Nutrition. Since coming to Congress, I have been proud to advocate for Edesia in hearing after hearing as vice ranking…

Across the country, Head Start lives up to its name. It provides quality early childhood education so that working- class families can get ahead. However, right now, Head Start is under attack from Donald Trump and Republicans in this…

Republicans refuse to listen. They refused in February when they spiked my amendments to support Medicaid and SNAP, and they refused again today. This is despite the pleas of Americans protesting Donald Trump and Republicans' plan to steal…

I ask myself two questions on every vote: Who does this benefit? Who does this hurt? Today, the answers are clear. This Republican budget resolution would benefit the richest 1 percent. Who would it hurt? Working-class families struggling…

Let's be clear: the people cheering this the loudest are scammers and people who don't want you to keep your hard-earned dollars.

CFPB has returned more than $20,000,000,000 to consumers since it was founded.

I rise as the designee of the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Crockett), and I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 9, line 2, strike ``or''…

While the underlying bill is problematic and harmful to U.S. interests, I have no problem supporting this amendment, which adds election interference as a sanctionable conduct. Beijing should not be interfering in our democratic processes…
