President Trump may not care about lowering your costs & bringing an end to his war with Iran, but I sure do. And so do vast majority of Americans. It’s time to actually put America first: End the tariffs, end the war, & end Trump’s reckless, chaotic policies.

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

Saluting the life & incredible legacy of WWII Machine Gunner & lifelong RIer Roger Desjardins. Roger was 101 years young when he passed away this month & truly made each & every day count. He brought so much joy to so many & will be missed by all.

World War II veteran Roger Desjardins passes away at 101

Roger Desjardins, a beloved World War II veteran and longtime North Providence resident, passed away last week.

More bad news from Trump’s economy. At 3.8%, inflation is at its highest level in ~3 years. Republicans need to start working with Dems to put an end to Trump’s inflation-fueling war in Iran & start lowering costs for working families.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMay 26(source)

Visited North Kingstown High School’s new Machinist Career & Tech Education facility for a look at how innovative school programs are preparing our students for good-paying careers supporting RI manufacturers & our national defense. Keep up the great work!

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

Thankful for the local veterans, Gold Star Families, & community members who gathered today in Central Falls to honor our fallen servicemembers & their families.

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

Today we pause to honor & remember the courageous sacrifice of those U.S. military servicemembers who gave their lives in defense of our nation. #MemorialDay

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMay 23(source)

Powerful tribute to our fallen servicemembers at Fort Adams this Memorial Day weekend. Special thanks to Operation Stand Down Rhode Island for organizing their 10th annual Boots on the Grounds for Heroes Memorial and bringing RIers together to honor U.S. servicemembers killed in action.

Celebrating the achievements, dedication, & service of Brown University’s student veterans, ROTC cadets, and graduating officers. Special shout-out to the terrific U.S. Army ROTC grads who will be joining the ranks as newly commissioned second lieutenants. Congrats!

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMay 22(source)

As we head into #MDW, let’s remember Memorial Day is about the brave U.S. servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMay 21(source)

The Trump Admin’s transactional, self-dealing nature is disgraceful. The health of America’s children should not be for sale.

Whether it’s a casino or a prediction market, the house always wins. The CFTC needs to do more to protect consumers. @hickenlooper.senate.gov & I are urging the CFTC to prohibit margin trading that can result in users losing more money than they bet.

Trump and Republicans want to fund Trump’s billionaire ballroom with your tax dollars. Here’s how we would spend that $1 billion instead:

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

In Rhode Island, respect for freedom of religion is in our DNA. We strongly condemn violence against houses of worship of all types. Our hearts are with the people of the Islamic Center of San Diego who were attacked and we stand together against anti-Muslim hatred.

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

Every American knows Trump’s $1.8 BILLION slush fund is rotten to the core. It’s an obvious ripoff of American taxpayers. And it’s totally indefensible.

Todd Blanche Panics Under Questioning on Slush Fund, Ghislaine Maxwell

The acting attorney general had a tough time in a hearing before the Senate.

Reposted byU.S. Senator Jack Reed

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.comMay 19(source)

BLANCHE: Do you think President Trump called and asked me to go interview Ghislaine Maxwell? REED: Yes I do, frankly. Because the deal was in. You're the president's consigliere.

Sen. Reed: When Trump first announced this lawsuit, he said, 'I think I'll give the money to charity.' Will you fulfill Trump's wish that the money goes to respected charities? Acting AG Blanche: That's not ultimately what the settlement calls for

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

This corrosive, kleptocratic, and corrupt maneuver is outrageous. It should be reversed because it does not stand up to legal scrutiny or common sense.

Trump’s Justice Department announces $1.7 billion fund slammed as ‘slush fund’

The creation of the fund is part of a settlement agreement Trump reached to withdraw his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS.

Good News! Working with the delegation, we landed $20.1M in fed funds for T.F. Green & local airports to advance upgrades & new projects that will help keep RI airports safe, updated & efficient.

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

Energy bills are too high. I’m fighting for cost-effective solutions that lower costs & help RIers save. Leading bipartisan group of 18 senators in urging release of federal funds that save families money while boosting energy efficiency & fighting air pollution.
