Thank you, @SpeakerPelosi, for your decades of trailblazing service to our nation. Under your leadership, we’ve made historic strides to expand access to health care, combat the climate crisis, protect our kids from gun violence, and so much more. You've made America better.
I just introduced a bill to stop airlines from discriminating against lithium-ion battery powered wheelchair users. Despite FAA’s safety policies, airlines are creating their own rules that block wheelchair users like me from boarding. It's time for Congress to say — no more.
Last summer, I was denied boarding on a flight because my wheelchair is powered by a lithium-ion battery. My story wasn't unique. Today, I'm taking action to ensure that doesn't continue to happen to other Americans with disabilities. Tune in at 10AM➡️ https://t.co/SG2Dk9srLd.
Today, the Senate is taking a crucial step towards passing the Respect for Marriage Act and protecting LGBTQ+ Americans' right to marry. I am grateful for the bipartisan effort that made this possible. Love transcends political party. #RespectForMarriagAct https://t.co/wzFXHfyopc

If there's one thing we learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, it's the importance of proactive public health efforts. Our new state health lab will help ensure that we have state-of-the-art technology at the ready if and when the next crisis arrives. https://t.co/eyAFSRFMft

It was great catching up with my good friend, @SecNav Del Toro, today at @_SENEDIA’s #DefenseInnovationDays! Together, we got a firsthand glimpse of the terrific work being done by our defense industrial base, right here in Rhode Island. I couldn’t be prouder.

When we send young men and women to fight overseas, we owe them the very best care once they return home. That includes caring for veterans exposed to toxic materials. Thank you, @POTUS and @RepMarkTankano, for making this possible! https://t.co/PqzDAvl5in

Thank you, @magmill95, for chatting with me about all things tech. Read our full conversation on self-driving cars, competing with the Chinese Communist Party, and the most overrated social media app now. https://t.co/fR29SQq6x9
Dear Carole Baskin, Thanks so much for writing to me about the Big Cat Public Safety Act. I am glad to report that I just voted for the bill, and it passed the House! Thanks for all your work on this important issue. Likewise, I think you, too, are one cool cat. Jim https://t.co/tMh1vNsxGe
Students win when arts and design education is added to STEM curricula. I was proud to see my STEM to STEAM Act, adding art and design to @NSF’s informal STEM education programs, in the #CHIPSandScience Act!
This afternoon, I’m hosting a celebration to mark 32 years of the ADA! @POTUS, @SpeakerPelosi, @LeaderHoyer, and other strong disability advocates will stop by to honor the ADA and highlight the need for accessible transportation. Register to join us⬇️ https://t.co/4KeZ5UcCA6
Big news! My NDAA amendment to protect systemically important entities (think biggest energy utilities, telecom providers, and major financial institutions) from cyberattacks just passed the House. We are now one step closer to fulfilling the vision of the Solarium Commission.
We need robust funding for R&D at the Pentagon. Investing in science and technology efforts allows us to develop crucial technologies and get them into the hands of the warfighter, where they are needed most. https://t.co/UiHjb1yWpJ
On the 246th anniversary of the founding of our great nation, I am reminded of how far we’ve come – and how far we have left to go – in our fight for freedom and equality for every American. We’ll get there. Together. Happy Independence Day, Rhode Island! https://t.co/9n8iTJMZm0
The constitutional rights of millions of women to make this very personal healthcare decision between herself and her doctor was just stripped away. I am deeply concerned that this Court is dragging our nation in a very dangerous direction.
I'm voting for the #LowerFoodandFuelCostsAct to: ⛽️ Reduce prices at the pump Lower prices in grocery stores Strengthen food supply chains Empower America’s farmers Ensure robust competition in the meat industry It's time to deliver for the American people.
It's no secret that living through a pandemic has been hard. Today, our community is getting together to talk about it. Join us at 10AM for Mental Health Action Day and learn about the resources that are available to you in these challenging times. : https://t.co/ZUTOGbK1Rc

OTD in 1776, the General Assembly of Rhode Island made an announcement – we were severing ties with King George III. The first colony to do so, we inspired our neighbors to follow. Before long, the 13 colonies were the United States. Happy Independence Day, Rhode island. https://t.co/NZPWexquWA
The United States’ commitment to Ukraine is unshakeable. I thank @SpeakerPelosi and my congressional colleagues for traveling to Kyiv and meeting with President Zelenskyy. The United States will stand with Ukraine until victory is secured. https://t.co/3cXFtkDwpL
For as long as I’ve been in Congress, @oscil_in_ri has been an incredible champion for Rhode Islanders with disabilities. Yesterday, I attended their annual meeting and was honored to receive an key to OSCIL HQ as a token of our continued partnership! https://t.co/5nuiokTeXp
We live in the most beautiful state in the country, and I have never taken that for granted I will always fight for the climate legislation we need to protect our magnificent oceans, rivers, lakes, forests, parks, beaches, and clean air. Happy Earth Day, Rhode Island. https://t.co/iHEiXNqNdD

While Americans are feeling the pain at the pump, fossil fuel companies are raking in record profits. That’s wrong. Now is the time to double down on our investments in clean energy, so we are no longer beholden to the whims of foreign despots and autocrats like Putin. https://t.co/MilxrfGhDM
Today, the price of a barrel of oil is the lowest it’s been all month. But you wouldn’t know that from driving by the gas station. Big Oil is lining their pockets at the expense of the American people. QT @POTUS: Oil prices are decreasing, gas prices should too. Last time oil was $96 a barrel, gas was $3.62 a gallon.

The American Rescue Plan delivered $128 million for the colleges/universities in RI-02! More than 90% of colleges used ARPA funds to provide additional financial support directly to students. They were also able to keep costs down and continue employing students and faculty!
Thanks to the rapid development of life-saving vaccines, the selfless dedication of thousands of health care workers and first responders across Rhode Island, and the tireless work of President Biden’s Administration, we have reached a new phase in this pandemic.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is a huge win for Rhode Islanders I’m proud to celebrate Director Alviti's work to fix Rhode Island’s aging infrastructure and make our roads and bridges safer for everyone. https://t.co/ti1IVAJQLh
The United States warned Putin that Russia would face swift and severe consequences for invading Ukraine. Together with our international allies, we are making good on that promise. Russia must be held accountable for their egregious actions. https://t.co/gtAAxyvbvJ
We're seeing an alarming trend of state-sanctioned hatred and violence against the LGBTQI+ community around the world. @davidcicilline's #GlobalRespectAct sends a clear message -- the United States will not sit idly by while these abuses persist. I'm proud to support it.
Another major step forward on federal cybersecurity from @POTUS. Implementing zero trust will ensure that users and devices that want to access federal networks are who they claim to be. Bravo, @OMBpress, @NCDinglis, and the rest of the team! https://t.co/PUYMUnIHij"

On January 6th, the Capitol Police defended our democracy. To honor their work and prevent any future attack on the Capitol, @HouseDemocrats provided nearly $1B to support the Capitol Police. It’s time for Republicans to come to the table to provide USCP the funding they need. https://t.co/da9RzdVbto
