Honored to present Mr. Joseph Machado from West Warwick w/ the Purple Heart he earned in Vietnam. While it’s been 55 years since Joe was wounded in combat serving in the @USArmy, we are forever grateful for his service & sacrifice to our nation.
Listen to the President of the Int'l Association of Fire Fighters who represents nearly 360,000 fire fighters. Every member of Congress needs to hear his testimony —>
"[The fire truck industry] is facing a crisis across the country that's been building for more than 20 years."
A Macomb Township, MI fire sent several fire fighters to the ER and drew crews from 5 other cities.
Understaffing puts everyone at risk.

Recently, Troopers joined police and fire departments across RI to escort 4-year-old Anthony McLaughlin, who just beat cancer! Anthony was treated to a limo ride to and from Hasbro for his final treatment. Thank you to Enzo’s Escorts for making this possible! #AlwaysThere

A charter member of Hampton, NH Local 2664, Mark led by example and showed generations of fire fighters the importance of a union. His dedication to the IAFF and commitment to our values were unwavering.

The Senate is moments away from repealing WEP & GPO for good, keeping a promise we made to the American People when Social Security became law.
I am proud to stand up for folks like Ms. Betty—my high school teacher—and public workers everywhere!
The momentum to repeal WEP & GPO continues. We are yet another step closer with the Senate passing another procedural vote!! The Social Security Fairness Act continues to march towards passage.
