A word for peace.

This may only be round one and I am grateful for this win. But we’ll keep fighting to ensure that all RI’ers have access to the shore in accordance with the law.

If your job requires a college degree, you should be able to write-off your student loan payments as a business expense the way CEOs write off their private jets and yachts for their jobs which require neither.

Thank you, Senator Jack Reed, for the visit and seeing how Mystic Aquarium's collaboration with the #FreshHarvestKitchen and the Southern RI Conservation District is providing clear pathways for RI youth in the Blue and Green Economy!💙💚🌊 #STEMMentoringRI

A great read on a Sunday morning!!! Love this crew I get to call co-workers!🌊💙💚🩵 Mystic Aquarium #rescuerehabrelease

I’m proud to partner with Senator Jeff Merkley to introduce legislation designating July as Plastic Pollution Action Month. It’s time to do something - microplastics are turning up not just in our rivers & oceans, but in remote Antarctic regions and even human blood.

100 degrees ocean temperature is an “Oh my God” moment, yet Republicans continue to be silent for their fossil fuel funders.

Happy #SharkWeek2023 🦈

Thank you, Sheldon Whitehouse, for the visit last week! Mystic Aquarium appreciates the support😁💚💙🌊

We're swimming into #sharkweek with a sand tiger shark feeding session! These sharks primarily eat fish but will also feed on smaller sharks, rays, squid, crabs, and lobster.

You know Congress has lost its way when some of my colleagues are attacking, of all things, the Endangered Species Act.

We need to protect endangered animals, and I will fight against these attempts to water down the ESA.

It was great spending the better part of my day with such a powerful community leader. Thanks for making my day Aundré Bumgardner and helping us advance our equity work!
