Here at Cranston Public Library w/ local librarians to fight back against the Trump Admin’s attacks on public libraries. Trump’s cuts would destroy interlibrary loans, summer reading, workforce development, adult ed, & countless other services and programs our libraries provide the public.

Trade Crime Is Soaring, U.S. Firms Say, as Trump’s Tariffs Incentivize Fraud

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMay 27(source)

Trump’s higher tariffs mean more fraud. Law-abiding U.S. businesses & consumers are getting scammed while U.S. taxpayers are paying more to enforce Trump’s shortsighted tariffs.

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

Here at South Kingstown’s annual Memorial Day parade. Thankful for local veterans and community members who gathered today to honor our fallen servicemembers and their families.

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

Honoring the real meaning of Memorial Day – paying tribute to servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our freedom.

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

Here with family & friends to celebrate Private First Class Bob Gray’s 100th birthday! From Normandy to the Battle of the Bulge & beyond, Mr. Gray & his fellow WWII veterans stood posts for freedom across the globe. Proud to celebrate his tremendous service in the U.S. Army.

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

Honored to perform the oath of office for @BrownUniversity graduating Army ROTC Cadets & celebrate the service, achievements, and extraordinary commitment of Brown U’s student veterans, all ROTC cadets, and graduating officers.

So much for Republicans claiming to be for a limited federal government. This cynical move to prevent states from improving air quality sets a terrible precedent that is ripe for future abuse.

Trump Admin’s decision to accept a luxury jet from Qatar is a national embarrassment.

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

Joined @welch.senate.gov's res. to try to help end 2-month humanitarian blockade in Gaza. The U.S. must intervene to stop this humanitarian crisis & ensure Palestinian civilians in Gaza have access to life-saving food & medicine.

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

The Trump Admin has halted childhood lead poisoning prevention programs – putting kids’ health at risk in order to fund their billionaires-first tax scheme. Today, Sec. Kennedy falsely claimed there’s a team in Milwaukee. Is he lying, clueless. or just ill-informed?

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

The Matunuck Oyster Bar is a local landmark & culinary icon that brings people together. Saddened by the fire, glad no one was hurt, & heartbroken for the employees & community. I know Perry and his team will be back & am looking forward to the re-opening of this treasured institution.

Fire damages Matunuck Oyster Bar

Crews are working to extinguish a fire that broke out at Matunuck Oyster Bar in South Kingstown early Tuesday morning.

The American people want Congress to reduce the number of uninsured Americans. Instead, Republicans are cutting Medicaid and reducing people’s access to healthcare.

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

“This is about opportunity,” Trump Admin officials claim. No, it’s about cutting Medicaid and Trump’s cronies degrading gov’t agencies & eroding the social safety net that keeps vulnerable Americans healthy & safe.

Four leaders in the Trump administration make the case for welfare work requirements. It’s not just about taxpayer dollars, write Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Mehmet Oz, Brooke Rollins and Scott Turner in a guest essay; it’s about the transformative power of work.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMay 13(source)

Today & every day, we salute law enforcement officers who keep our communities safe. During #NationalPoliceWeek, we remember those who died in the performance of duty & honor their courage & service.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMay 13(source)

Donald Trump's personal business dealings in the Middle East are already an ethical nightmare. Accepting a luxury aircraft from a foreign gov't would create a security nightmare too. President Trump should think twice before permanently embarrassing himself & the nation.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMay 12(source)

The scope of Trump’s attacks on truth & science is staggering. Cancelling research projects to stop the spread of HIV, better understand hurricanes, & much more. Stopping lifesaving research will set U.S. scientists back decades & needlessly cost lives.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMay 12(source)

From right here in the Ocean State, Vatn Systems is helping to push autonomous underwater vehicle innovation forward. Proud to help officially launch their new, state-of-the-art Bristol facility where this local business can continue to grow.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there!
