Washington can feel distant for many back home. Today is not one of those days. Our phones have been ringing off the hook with people calling about what Donald Trump’s federal funding freeze means for Rhode Island. Here are some examples in a 🧵: - ThreadSky

2/ Organizations like the Warren Prevention Coalition are locked out of the grants system for funding they are owed.

This funding is critical to preventing substance use disorder and supporting Rhode Islanders struggling with opioid addition.

3/ States locked out of Medicaid funds would mean shutting down health care resources for the poor, the disabled, and those with complex medical needs.

Hard to overstate how important these funds are for Rhode Islanders who need them.

4/ The Ocean State Center for Independent Living supports over 28,000 individuals with disabilities.

Without federal funds appropriated by Congress, they can’t carry out their essential work.

5/ Our higher education communities — including students, faculty, and researchers — are calling about grant review panels.

This includes lifesaving funding through the National Institutes of Health to tackle cancers, chronic illness, and other critical areas.

Thank you, Rep. Amo -- we need clarity on what this memo means. People with disabilities, seniors, veterans, and their families rely on a variety of publicly funded supports to live in their own homes and communities.

There is such a Democratic war room -- but it's not on C-Span. Lots of things are going on that you and I can't see in minute-by-minute detail. That doesn't mean nothing's happening. Did you watch the Senate Dems press conference?

Thank you congressman. Please start reacting to this criminal as the hair on fire situation it truly is. There is no law without enforcement.
