Proud to deliver federal funds for RI’s new State Health Laboratory. From helping to safeguard our drinking water to monitoring pollution to aiding public safety & criminal investigations through DNA testing, this facility will help make RI safer & healthier.

Higher health care cost increases for next year are already arriving in mailboxes. DC Republicans sure seem to want you to pay hundreds of dollars more per month and get nothing new in return. Dems have a plan to prevent unfair price hikes.

It doesn’t matter if you’re in a blue or a red state; health care premiums are set to skyrocket. Democrats are fighting to lower those costs, no matter where you live or who you voted for. Meanwhile, Republicans seem to only care about securing tax breaks for the top 1%.

Pres. Trump wants to keep Argentina’s government open with a $20+ BILLION bailout but refuses to make any effort to protect your health care & get the American government working again.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govOct 14(source)
Democrats are the only ones to offer a concrete plan to reopen the gov't & keep health care prices down. Trump-GOP cut $1 trillion from Medicaid & now millions of Americans will see their health costs skyrocket or lose coverage. Open enrollment is days away. Time to act is now!

Trump and House Republicans are letting #RI01 small business owners' health care costs skyrocket. @reed.senate.gov and I met with local businesses in Warren to hear how Republicans’ attacks on health care are impacting their livelihoods. This is who we're fighting for in Washington.

The Pentagon press corps plays a vital role in holding military leaders accountable. Hegseth’s effort to censor reporters is an affront to the military’s tradition of integrity and to the First Amendment. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
News outlets broadly reject Pentagon rules before deadline for signing
The Washington Post and other major news outlets have refused to sign the Defense Department’s restrictive new media policy, citing First Amendment concerns.

Joined @amo.house.gov to chat w/ local #smallbiz owners this morning & it’s clear: Democrats are fighting to lower health costs for every single American. With just 18 days until open enrollment begins, there’s no time to waste.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govOct 9(source)
Time is of the essence. Open enrollment is less than a month away & millions of Americans could soon see their health care premiums double. Democrats have a plan to keep the gov’t open & protect your health care.

Coffee should come with cream and sugar, not expensive tariffs! Trump’s economic policies are driving up prices – roasting consumers & businesses alike & harming the U.S. economy.

Fox: Roasted coffee prices are up 22% in the past year. There's a 50% tariff on coffee from Brazil. That's the nation's biggest coffee supplier. Take a look at this bag right here. The container that bag came in is costing this coffee shop $68,000 more than it did over the summer

President Trump’s big beautiful bill has resulted in a health care crisis that is now upon us. Next year, everyone is either at risk of losing their health care or paying more. So, we did a little math to estimate what that might look like for a couple in Lansing. (1/2)
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govOct 7(source)
As Trump & Republicans shut down the gov’t and try to ignore the health crisis they created, open enrollment starts on November 1. Millions of Americans will soon have their premiums skyrocket – many will see it double. Congress must act with urgency, but the GOP is playing partisan games.

Leader Jeffries: A married couple that makes $85,000 per year currently may pay about $8,000 for their health insurance. That is already far too expensive. But that couple could see their premiums increase to $24,000 a year. They're going to lose their coverage or be forced into medical bankruptcy
