Pres. Trump took a massive gamble by ordering U.S. airstrikes on Iran. It’s easier to start wars than end them. Congress must be fully briefed snd the American people deserve answers about U.S. involvement in this conflict.

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

Here w/ doctors, researchers, health care professionals, & survivors at Roger Williams Medical Center’s Blood & Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program conference to mark #SurvivorshipMonth & underscore importance of federal research investments in the fight against cancer.

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

Trump’s outdated energy policies are increasing electricity costs, killing good-paying jobs, & making it harder to compete with China. Instead of rolling back our progress, we need to invest in smart energy grid upgrades & renewable energy.

Job Corps has helped thousands of RIers & Americans create brighter futures for themselves & their families. I’m leading bipartisan effort w/ Sen. Susan Collins to #SaveJobCorps because Pres. Trump & his Admin cannot be allowed to slam the door to opportunity.

Medicare update: Lawmakers introduce bill to expand health care program

Medicare "Part E" would be self-sustaining, funded by premiums, and available through all state and federal health exchanges.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJun 20(source)

Health insurance saves lives. We need to strengthen health care in our nation, boost Medicare, & ensure more Americans can get coverage – not take health care away from millions.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJun 20(source)

I created the National Housing Trust Fund to help build stronger, healthier communities and make housing more attainable for working families. Glad to see these federal HTF dollars at work in Rhode Island helping to create 72 new apartments in Lincoln at the Village at Manville.

#Juneteenth is a day for celebration & reflection, action & unity. 160 years ago, America broke the shackles of slavery. Each of us have a responsibility to recognize the struggle for freedom & recommit to our shared values of equality, liberty & justice for all.

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

Americans want a brighter future for their kids. Destroying health care, education, & our economy isn’t going to get us there.

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

Americans overwhelmingly support pathways to citizenship for Dreamers. Pres. Trump has said he supports protections for Dreamers to remain here. DACA lets Dreamers contribute their talents to our communities. I’m urging Trump Admin to make good on the President’s words.

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

Who hates getting spam calls? Everyone! That’s why I’m glad the Senate passed my bill to protect consumers from the pesky calls, texts, and emails when someone applies for a mortgage. Time for the House to step up and act.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJun 16(source)

New, state-of-the-art air supply fire engine will be used by northern RI firefighters to serve over 460,000 RIers. Proud to join @whitehouse.senate.gov in delivering $586k federal grant to acquire this truck & help our firefighters stay safe while serving our communities.

$75 billion firm wins carve-out in tax bill after lobbying push

Lobbyists for a private equity firm were paid to influence Congress on the obscure provision, records show.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJun 16(source)

The ‘Virgin Islands Carve Out’ is example 101 of how the Trump-Republican ‘Big Ugly’ tax bill is a giveaway to the ultra-wealthy. Trump is taking away people’s health care in order to give billionaires and corporations a bigger tax windfall to live it up in the Caribbean.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJun 15(source)

To all the dads out there: thank you for teaching us, loving us, & being there for us no matter what! Happy Father’s Day!

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJun 14(source)

A little rain can’t stop the parade here at Gaspee Days! For 60 years, RIers have gathered along Narragansett Parkway to honor RI’s critical role in the lead up to the American Revolution & our historic commitment to freedom & liberty.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJun 14(source)

For 250 years, the U.S. Army has protected our nation’s freedom. Today is about the brave men & women who’ve worn the Army uniform and stood posts for liberty across the globe. Wishing a very happy 250th birthday to the U.S. Army.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govJun 14(source)

248 years ago, the Second Continental Congress approved our first nat’l flag. Today, we honor what the Stars & Stripes mean to us & reflect on the American values of freedom, equality and democracy & the continued struggle for a more perfect Union.
