Seth Magaziner, U.S. Congressman representing Rhode Island’s 2nd district since 2023, addressed several issues in a series of posts on March 25, 2026. Magaziner, who succeeded James Langevin and resides in Cranston, Rhode Island, commented on government corruption, rising gas prices linked to international conflict, and youth civic engagement.
In a post published at 00:33 UTC on March 25, Magaziner stated: “However corrupt you think Washington is, it’s worse. And it’s why big corporations get a free pass to make billions gouging people with high prices.”
Later that day at 14:38 UTC, he drew attention to local fuel costs amid global events: “Gas prices in Rhode Island jumped 24 cents per gallon in one week due to Trump’s war in Iran. Once again, working people get screwed by bad choices in Washington – while Big Oil continues to profit.”
Magaziner also highlighted educational initiatives during a meeting with students from North Kingstown High School visiting the capital through the CloseUp DC Foundation. In his post at 18:55 UTC he wrote: “Great to meet with students from North Kingstown High School who are visiting DC through the @CloseUp_DC Foundation! These young leaders are learning how our democracy works and making their voices heard. Awesome to see the next generation stepping up and getting involved.”
Born in Bristol in 1983 and holding degrees from Brown University and Yale University, Magaziner has been an advocate for both economic accountability and civic education throughout his career.
