Kudos to volunteer Holly Snyder for receiving this year’s AARP Rhode Island Andrus Award, the organization’s highest honor for community service! Appreciate the outstanding work of Holly & other volunteers supporting RI seniors and strengthening communities.

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

Lonsdale Memorial Lofts smartly repurposed the old Lincoln Memorial School to create 26 new high-quality, low-cost homes for RIers. Proud to support $2.8M in fed investments to advance this effort to build more homes, incentivize smart development, & improve housing affordability.

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

Millions of Americans & thousands of RIers are at risk of losing their health insurance in a matter of weeks. Democrats have a concrete plan to address huge health insurance premium spikes. Republicans need to join us at the table.

Barrington teacher among thousands in RI likely to drop insurance coverage. Here’s why

Since 2021, over 41,000 Rhode Islanders have relied on enhanced Obamacare subsidies to afford health insurance. What happens when those expire?

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

Republicans are refusing to lower health care costs. Skyrocketing premiums are just weeks away and their plan seems to be: make Americans pay more. Democrats know health care costs matter & will vote to keep millions of Americans insured. We must act now.

Republicans have no hope of solving America’s healthcare crisis on their own. They have NO plan.

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

Americans are paying real, increased costs for President Trump’s reckless policies. His tariff taxes alone are costing the average American household $1,700 more this year.

Trump: "I think affordability is the greatest con job."

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

Republicans have a choice: Join Democrats to extend ACA credits, prioritize #Affordability, & lower health care costs for millions of Americans OR let premiums skyrocket & watch Americans lose their health coverage.

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

Stopping the flow of drugs is a priority, but Trump’s budget proposals cut drug treatment funding and wanted to slash a host of law enforcement resources. These misguided Trump cuts are hurting American families & communities.

Trump pardons cocaine kingpin who ruled Honduras

Trump said Nov. 28 that he planned to pardon the former Honduran leader, and a White House official confirmed Dec. 2 that the pardon had been issued.

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

If Trump was serious about stopping drug traffickers, he wouldn’t be doing them favors.

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

The entire video of the September 2nd strike ordered by Secretary Hegseth should be released to Congress & shared with the American people. Joined Dana Bash on @cnn.com to discuss bipartisan efforts to demand facts, materials, & accountability.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govDec 1(source)

Violence has no place in politics.

Chuck Schumer says there have been 'multiple bomb threats' to his New York offices

The Senate minority leader thanked law enforcement for responding to threats "with the email subject line 'MAGA' and from an email address alleging the '2020 election was rigged.'"

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govDec 1(source)

As families brace for cold weather & higher utility bills, $24M in delayed LIHEAP funding for RI is finally being released by the Trump Administration. We can’t just leave vulnerable people in the cold. I will continue pressing to lower utility bills & increase LIHEAP aid.

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

It’s #SmallBusinessSaturday! A great day to visit some local shops & cafés and find some new favorite #smallbiz for all your holiday season buys.

Cheers to outstanding staff & volunteers of Good Neighbors RI for putting together a delicious Thanksgiving feast! Great to join Mayor Bob DaSilva & @rifoodbank.bsky.social CEO Melissa Cherney to help serve up hot meals & a slice of community to neighbors in need.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govNov 25(source)

Shopping local means supporting your community. Here in Woonsocket visiting great local #smallbiz & looking ahead to #SmallBusinessSaturday. Keep local, Main Street businesses, shops, & restaurants on your shopping list this holiday season, and explore to find some new favorites too!

Heat aid lags as temperatures drop and electric bills soar

Energy assistance program funding, which helps families heat their homes, is delayed, with officials now expecting disbursement by the end of November

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govNov 24(source)

Runaway energy costs are putting a heavy strain on too many RIers. Leading bipartisan effort to demand Trump Admin swiftly releases $4 billion in LIHEAP assistance that helps vulnerable families & seniors afford their energy bills & stay warm in cold winter months.
