Judge tosses Trump administration's bid to get RI's unredacted voter rolls The Trump administration's lawsuit for voter information, including drivers' license numbers, was tossed.

This is a win for your privacy & for election integrity. Yet again, the Trump Admin has lost in a court of law. While Pres. Trump repeats his lies about U.S. elections, I’ll remain steadfast in defending RI’s elections & protecting your rights.

Americans are paying a steep price for Pres. Trump’s reckless and repeated mistakes in Iran. It is past time he seriously pursues a diplomatic, not military, solution to the war. Democrats will continue working to responsibly end Trump’s war abroad & lower costs at home.

Pres. Trump has an incoherent strategy in Iran. The American people & our servicemembers deserve better. I’m fighting to bring Trump’s misguided & reckless war in the Middle East to an end.

Trump’s Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) is shedding enforcement staff, dropping cases against corporate wrongdoers, leaving investors without relief, & diminishing the integrity of U.S. markets.

Pres. Trump must start putting Main Street over Wall Street wants.

Trump Admin is raising energy costs and withholding $400 million in LIHEAP energy assistance to help Americans in need lower their energy bills.

I’m leading a bipartisan push to get this funding flowing immediately for Rhode Islanders and Americans who’ve been hit by the Trump energy shock.

Last year, Pres. Trump raised your costs with his tariff taxes & massive health care cuts.

This year, Pres. Trump is raising your costs with his illegal war.

RIers have had enough. I’m fighting to stop this war, end the tariffs, & bring down your costs.

Davey Lopes' special gift is still cherished 40-plus years later Lopes, who grew up in South Providence, died on Wednesday at the age of 80. He played for the Dodgers and many other teams, and went on to coach.

Saddened to hear of the passing of MLB legend & RI native Davey Lopes. From his days as a 4-time MVP stealing bases w/ the Dodgers to coaching a host of teams, Davey was a great guy on & off the field. Check out this heartfelt tribute by ProJo’s Joe McDonald:

Trump’s reckless immigration crackdown isn’t targeting the ‘worst of the worst.’ They are going after military families on base & separating newlyweds as they actively pursue legal paths to citizenship.

What Pres. Trump suggested in this morning’s Truth Social post is wrong, ominous, and against America’s interests and ideals. His reckless rhetoric is unacceptable.

So many GOP falsehoods about the DHS shutdown. But the truth is simple: Republican divisions and Pres. Trump’s lack of interest in paying all federal workers is the real reason GOP has yet to reopen DHS.

U.S. media works hard to inform Americans, uphold the 1st Amendment, & respect sensitive details & nat’l security. Pres. Trump said he wants U.S. journalists prosecuted for reporting details on the downed U.S. plane, even though Israeli media apparently broke the news.

Dems will continue pushing for commonsense reforms to rein in out-of-control ICE & Border Patrol agents. Accountability must come for unjustified violence & unconstitutional actions. GOP should stop trying to ignore Americans’ demand for needed reform & oversight.

The unanimous agreement re-passed today is virtually same deal that was proposed a month ago, but Pres. Trump delayed it while trying to leverage DHS shutdown to punish federal workers & win unrelated concessions. He failed, wasted time & money & inflicted damage on avg Americans.

Today the GOP-controlled U.S. Senate once again repassed the exact same DHS funding bill. Pres. Trump endorsed it. Now House Republicans are last remaining obstruction. They should prioritize homeland security over petty intra-party squabble & reopen DHS immediately.
