Conflicting accounts on El Paso from different parts of the federal gov’t only deepen public concern & raise serious questions about coordination & decision-making. I’m pushing for a full account of what happened to ensure security decisions are being made responsibly.

My Affordable Housing & Homeownership Protection Act and Preserving Homes & Communities Act would build more homes, lower costs, & take on giant investors unfairly blocking families from homeownership.

It was, by definition, a genocide. Principled American leaders should have the courage to recognize the history and suffering of the Armenian people.

House Rules Committee moves to protect Trump's tariffs from congressional disapproval

The House Rules Committee teed up legislation that would again prevent lawmakers from terminating President Donald Trump’s emergency tariffs.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govFeb 10(source)

Trump’s reckless tariff taxes cost American families an estimated $1,700 last year. I helped pass 4 Senate resolutions to revoke harmful tariffs but House Republican leadership are blocking progress on lowering your costs because they’d rather protect Trump than fix affordability.

70 new homes now available in the heart of downtown Woonsocket thanks to significant federal investments I helped deliver. NeighborWorks Blackstone River Valley’s innovative vision here reimagined historic mills into welcoming homes for low- & mid-income RIers.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govFeb 8(source)

Trump’s reckless policies are increasing prices & causing economic drag. Instead of taking steps to address affordability he is: A. Posting racist tropes B. Investigating The View C. Halting critical infrastructure projects unless cities rename things after him ✅ All of the above

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govFeb 6(source)

I am disgusted by President Trump’s racist social media post. It’s another symptom of his chaotic and dangerous presidency.

Trump’s immigration chaos needs to end. ICE must stop claiming powers it doesn’t have under law or the Constitution. Dems are standing up to rein in ICE with real accountability & reforms. Republicans must join us.

Modernized school buildings are a must for learning. Thank you @reed.senate.gov & @bobbyscott.house.gov for introducing the Rebuild America’s Schools Act. Your legislation will address academic and health needs, while creating two million jobs. 💓 democrats-edworkforce.house.gov/media/press-...

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.
