Donald Trump is a one man financial crisis. In the last 100 days, he has forced up prices & fueled economic chaos for working families & Main Street businesses. Trump must reverse course & work w/ Dems to lower prices and get our economy working again.

Head Start helps kids reach their full potential. Joined parents, teachers, & Head Start leaders at CCAP in Cranston to highlight success of these programs in RI & rally against Trump Admin efforts to cut Head Start.

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

Supporting families & ensuring kids have the best chance to succeed strengthens our communities. Home visit programs do just that. We need to grow & protect these programs, not slash their funding. Joined families & advocates at Meeting Street to call out GOP's misguided cuts.

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

Starting May 7, there is a new REAL ID requirement for all airline passengers. The Trump Admin needs to do its part to ensure there aren’t needless travel disruptions & delays.

Thanks to $2.6M from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that @whitehouse.senate.gov & I delivered, we’re conserving 7 acres of coastal land at Winnapaug Pond in Westerly, so Rhode Islanders can enjoy this coastal gem for generations to come.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Rhode Islanders are mobilizing to help save Social Security and push back on the Trump-Musk cuts to the Social Security Admin. With little oversight & no accountability, Trump and Musk are purposefully making it harder for seniors and people with disabilities to access their earned benefits.

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

100 years of serving our communities and keeping Rhode Islanders safe. Grateful for the tremendous work of Rhode Island State Police!

As the Rhode Island State Police turn 100, fighting crime has plenty of similarities

On its 100th anniversary, Rhode Island's state police force looks to the future in a 2020s era that shares some similarities with the 1920s.

You gotta be kidding me. No one should be forced to create an account on X to boost Elon Musk’s numbers just so they can get info about the Social Security benefits they paid for. www.wired.com/story/social...

The Social Security Administration Is Gutting Regional Staff and Shifting All Public Communications to X

The SSA’s shift to Elon Musk’s X comes as the agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent, WIRED has learned.
