Amo spoke on the House floor for one minute to oppose the removal of 4.5 million Americans from SNAP benefits, citing negative impacts on families in his district.

Amo stated that working families feel the economy in their wallets rather than their hearts, referenced families in Pawtucket paying more for groceries and medical care, seniors in Smithfield choosing between prescriptions and rent, and drivers paying over $4 per gallon for gas, and called for the administration to stop tariffs, end involvement in Iran, and make life affordable for Americans.

Amo celebrated the birth of Fay Elliot Sodaro, born May 13, the daughter of his Chief of Staff Dylan and Ranking Member Bobby Scott's legislative director Paige.

Amo stated that he voted yes on the War Powers Resolution to stop Trump from further destabilizing the Middle East, prevent more casualties, and stop what he characterized as reckless unauthorized war with Iran.

Amo addressed the House for one minute to express his thoughts for the victims of a mass shooting at Brown University in December that killed Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov and injured nine other students, and to offer support to Brown students returning to campus and the Brown, Providence, and Rhode Island communities.

Amo asked for and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute to honor two Brown University students killed in a mass shooting and asked colleagues to join in a moment of silence.

Amo stated that $187 billion in SNAP cuts by Republicans impact roughly 35,000 Rhode Islanders and described volunteering at food pantries in Providence, Pawtucket, and Woonsocket to hear from constituents about rising grocery costs and fears of losing SNAP benefits.

Amo stated that Thanksgiving food costs have increased by an average of 7 percent compared to last year, with stuffing mix prices up double digits and turkey up 7 percent, and argued that families cannot afford to live in the current economy due to grocery prices, healthcare costs, and tariffs.

Amo recognized the 100th anniversary of the Rhode Island State Police and commended their century of service to the state.

Amo spoke on the House floor about his constituent Pranoy, a young adult with Down syndrome who relies on Medicaid-funded adaptive communication technology, and stated his opposition to Republican Medicaid cuts that he said would threaten healthcare access for people with disabilities.

Amo spoke on the House floor for one minute to advocate for protecting Head Start funding and described visiting a Head Start provider in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, where he met with a participant named Savanna about the program's benefits.
