It’s a fact: Trump’s chaotic policies and unforced errors are driving up prices & inflation and eating an outsize portion of Americans’ paychecks.

From electricity to rent, monthly bills are tipping the inflation scale

Housing, health care, food and utility prices are outpacing inflation and taking an outsize share of Americans’ paychecks.

POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT: A federal judge just issued a ruling that allows Revolution Wind project to resume work. This is a win for workers and should be upheld.

Construction of Revolution Wind can continue after federal stop-work order, judge rules - The Boston Globe

The US Department of the Interior had issued the order against the wind farm project off the coast of Rhode Island last month.

More Senators, Democrat and Republican, voted for the Democratic healthcare & budget plan. It’s high time for Trump and Republicans to negotiate.

When Democrats had the majority, we never shutdown.

BREAKING: @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and I are demanding a meeting with Trump on his decision to shut down the federal government because of the Republican desire to continue to gut the health care of the American people.

Reposted byU.S. Senator Jack Reed

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 19(source)

Republicans just voted AGAINST a bill Democrats wrote to fund the government and also fix the GOP health care crisis. Now Republicans are LEAVING TOWN instead of working with us to lower health care costs and stop hospitals from closing. Make sure everyone knows it.

Hakeem Jeffries@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.socialSep 20(source)

It’s time for Trump to address the Republican healthcare crisis. And avoid a painful government shutdown.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govSep 19(source)

Democrats want Americans to be able to afford health care. It’s time for Trump to negotiate on the budget.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govSep 18(source)

Regular Americans are struggling to afford health care, housing, and groceries & Pres. Trump’s economy favors the ultra-wealthy. It’s way past time for billionaires to pay their fair share. Our tax system is skewed to benefit the wealthy & it must be fixed.

NSF research investments boost economic development & attract top research talent to RI. Met with PVD-based @amermathsoc.bsky.social to discuss how NSF funding, like recent $16.5M for Institute for Computational & Experimental Research in Mathematics, helps unlock discoveries & solutions.

Happy Birthday, U.S. Air Force! Forever grateful to the dedicated men & women of the U.S. Air Force who selflessly defend our nation & maintain U.S. air superiority. Thank you for your service!

RFK Jr’s anti-vaccine actions are unsupported by scientific facts & endanger public health. Kennedy’s efforts to undermine childhood vaccinations could lead to more infections, more hospitalizations, & more preventable deaths.

How the Trump Administration Is Dismantling America’s Cancer-Research System

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govSep 17(source)

I fight for increased federal research funding each year & wrote the law that boosted childhood cancer research. Pres. Trump signed it during his first term. Right now, we’re losing our progress. This Admin’s attacks on science must end.

Trump Is Shutting Down the War On Cancer

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govSep 17(source)

Pres. Trump is cancelling promising research & shutting down the war on cancer so he can spend more money on culture wars & his reckless, unauthorized military operations.
