In Rhode Island, the top-bracket income tax rate for people with incomes of over $500k was 9.99% before 2007. Since then, the top-bracket income tax rate has been 5.99%. So today we have millionaires paying the SAME income tax rate as a working family. This needs to change!

We are actively watching the abuse of human rights — innocent people are being murdered, families are being separated, and the violence only continues to get worse. This is inhumane. We cannot turn a blind eye. #FreePalestineNow

Thank you to all our Providence Public School teachers who are forced to teach in freezing classrooms due to a lack of heating and poor building conditions. Our youth and educators deserve so much better. They deserve meaningful investments from our city and state.

I understand this is a city initiative, but remember it would only cost about $12 million a year to have FREE Public Transportation! Meanwhile, this 'splash park' with limited use would be $140 million...

A young man of color, Jhamal Gonsalves, was intentionally hit with a car by a police officer. Since then, the officer has been placed on paid “administrative duty”. Meanwhile, Jhamal is still in a coma from the officer’s attack. Our BIPOC communities will not stand for this.

Let's be clear, Rep. Justin Price must resign immediately. Through his actions and untruthful rhetoric, he has not only enabled domestic terrorism and violence -- he has contributed to it. This is not controversial, all our communities deserve better from their officials.

Simple Idea: if a public school district ever wants to propose the closure of a school or a school building, they should be required to share a public report explaining their reasoning and most importantly, take the time to engage with students, families, and staff!

Judge LaSalle has a long history of being anti-choice and anti-union. As a result, hundreds of organizations, labor unions, and officials have come out to oppose his nomination. So why is Rep. Jeffries using his platform to advocate for him?

"Judge Hector Lasalle is highly qualified to be the chief judge of the state of New York. Period. Full stop," @RepJeffries says, adding LaSalle should be given the same rights as every other chief judge nominee to get a vote in the Senate.

Last week, we unanimously passed HB #5196 to limit monthly out-of-pocket expenses for Insulin at $40 — one of the lowest rates in the entire country! Given that over 80,000 RI adults have diabetes, 10% of our adult population, this is a major victory for our working families!

Let's be clear, this is not a random tax increase. In 2006, our State cut income taxes for the wealthiest people from 9.99% to 5.99% (the same as a middle-class person). Since then, we have lost over a billion dollars in tax-revenue. It is time we repeal these cuts!

I just want to remind us that there are more substantive ways to provide economic relief to working people and families aside from minor reductions in taxes — lowering prescription drug costs, increasing wages, stabilizing the cost of rent, and limiting utility rate hikes.
