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.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govApr 23(source)
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)
Proud to join Rhode Island College’s Cyber Institute to celebrate its Nat’l Security Agency designation as a Center for Academic Excellence. Grateful for dedicated students, faculty, & staff helping to create next generation of cybersecurity leaders ready to meet a rapidly evolving threat landscape.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govApr 21(source)
Our firefighters deserve the best equipment available to stay safe while responding to a range of emergencies throughout our communities. Proud to deliver $1M federal grant for Warwick Fire Department to purchase 72 state-of-the-art breathing apparatus units.

Sen Jack Reed on the clash with courts: "I think the president is either consciously, or unconsciously producing or provoking a constitutional crisis" #1 Plus, I use the phrase 'sine qua non' thepublicsradio.org/tgif/tgif-ia...
TGIF: Ian Donnis’ Rhode Island politics roundup for April 18, 2025 - TPR: The Public's Radio
Is it too much to yearn for a major motion picture about Buddy Cianci and a cool indie about the Dorr Rebellion? You can follow me through the week on Bluesky, threads and X. Here we go.  *** Want to ...

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.

Strengthening RI’s submarine industrial base workforce is critical to our economy & nat’l security. Launched New England Tech’s state-of-the-art Welding Lab today to increase the number of NEIT welding grads from 420 to 600 each year in partnership w/ #SENEDIA & #ElectricBoat.

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 11(source)
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.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govApr 11(source)
Saluting America’s submarine fleet, the brave men and women who serve aboard these critical vessels all around the world, & RI’s robust submarine workforce. #NationalSubmarineDay
