Thank you @DNC Chair @kenmartin73 for addressing the @ri_trades. We appreciated the straight talk on how Democrats need to stick to the kitchen table issues our members care about. When we elect trades men and women to office, Dems win!

Today's stop work order is another bullshit move by this administration. Halting this work jeopardizes the job security, not national security, of the men & women who are currently constructing the offshore wind turbines. This is especially cruel during the holidays.

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

The Trump administration said it is pausing leases for five large-scale offshore wind projects under construction in the East Coast due to unspecified national security risks identified by the Pentagon. https://t.co/c3bCz7nqLq

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the entire Brown community. We are proud of our partnership with Brown University and stand arm in arm with our Brown family, the City of Providence, and the State of Rhode Island during this difficult time.

Great night with @LIUNANewEngland’s Chris Sabitoni recognizing @rifthp Frank Flynn with the Dante Mollo Labor award by the United Way. A well deserved honor for a great man.

Today was a BIG DEAL! TY to @SenJackReed @SenWhitehouse @RepGabeAmo @GovDanMcKee and @RISpeaker for your hard work in securing $250 MILLION to fix 15 bridges along I-95! Through @POTUS’s landmark BIFF, these projects will put thousands of men & women of the @ri_trades to work!

Great to be with Federal & State leaders as we celebrate the “topping off” of the new Rhode Island Health Lab. The lab will be the cornerstone for PVD’s budding life sciences corridor. The @ri_trades are excited to be partners, and are ready to add to PVD’s skyline. #unionbuilt

Great work by @RIPAINTERSUNION for working to ensure workers and RIers are safe from poisonous lead exposure. We need to continue to hold scrupulous construction businesses accountable. #UnionStrong

TY @SecCardona for visiting RI to learn more about how we are making critical investments into our apprenticeship programs at @CCRINews. The alignment with a 4 yr degree and @goapprenticeRI allowing more RIers to have access to a middle-class life. #earnasyoulearn #UnionStrong
