We have an opportunity to expand opportunity… and to modernize public schools, create good jobs, & grow the economy while we’re at it. Teamed up w/ @bobbyscott.house.gov to intro Rebuild America’s Schools Act to free up more fed funding to help states and communities build & improve schools.

Trump Doubles Down on Calls for Republicans to Nationalize Elections

The president said federal government agents should be involved in counting votes, a role the Constitution explicitly grants to states.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govFeb 5(source)

Another example of Pres. Trump disregarding the Constitution in pursuit of his personal political aims.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govFeb 4(source)

Instead of using the powers of the presidency to help Americans, Trump is abusing his power to line his own pockets.

Trump’s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion

In August, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned.

Tariffs may have cost US economy thousands of jobs monthly, Fed analysis reveals

A new Fed study estimates tariffs cost the U.S. economy 19,000 jobs per month in 2025, potentially raising unemployment by 0.1 percentage points.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govFeb 3(source)

Less jobs & higher prices. Pres. Trump’s tariff taxes are making life harder for working Americans.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govFeb 3(source)

Trump’s brazen ploys and proclamations about interfering with the administration of America’s elections are a grave threat to our democracy.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govFeb 2(source)

Business is booming at @quonsetri.bsky.social! Years of federal investments have created jobs, expanded opportunity, & built up Quonset as a key economic engine for the Ocean State.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govFeb 2(source)

It’s been a month since Republicans sent health premiums skyrocketing. Now, over 1 million Americans have been priced out of their coverage & millions more are struggling to stay insured. Senate Republicans could end this today by passing the bipartisan House-passed bill.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJan 30(source)

You don’t want someone to steal your private data & I’m fighting to make sure they don’t. Joined colleagues to stop DOJ’s unlawful pressure campaign to coerce dozens of states into providing confidential voter files to Trump.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJan 30(source)

Any nominee to the Fed must be committed to protecting the Fed’s independence & putting the needs of American families over the personal preferences of the President.

Trump to nominate Kevin Warsh as Fed chair

Warsh has sharply criticized the Fed and said it's in need of reform.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJan 29(source)

The Trump Admin’s repeated attacks on offshore wind hurt workers & our local economy. Grateful Patrick Crowley from @riaflcio.bsky.social could join us today to discuss tremendous work union workers are doing to lower energy costs & power our nation forward.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJan 28(source)

Who do you believe: Donald Trump’s spin or your own receipts?

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJan 28(source)

We need to lower energy bills. Data centers are driving up costs but we must ensure American families aren’t footing the bill for big tech companies. @whitehouse.senate.gov & I teamed up w/ @welch.senate.gov & others to press ISO New England on its plan to keep costs down for consumers.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJan 27(source)

Republicans have a choice: Listen to Americans and swiftly fund every federal agency except ICE so we can ensure real change – OR – Republicans can keep blindly following Trump’s chaos and jeopardize healthcare, defense, transportation, and education funding.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJan 27(source)

If Republicans want to defend the ICE killings in Minneapolis & shut down key federal agencies, that’s their choice. But Senate Democrats can & will stand up for justice, accountability, & real reform and safeguards to prevent continued ICE abuse & unjust lethal force.
