Before he broke MLB's color barrier, Lt. Jack R. Robinson served in the U.S. Army. He was court martialed for refusing to move to the back of a bus, stood his ground, & won acquittal. Today, Jackie Robinson is an American hero. Those who try to whitewash history are not.

Removing histories that highlight the contributions of female servicemembers & minority veterans is profoundly insulting to our military. Joined @duckworth.senate.gov & our fellow veterans in condemning Trump’s haphazard whitewashing of U.S. military history.

We cannot maintain U.S. global interests through military might alone. Trump’s attempt to unlawfully shutter independent pro-democracy media orgs like Voice of America is a gift to Putin, Xi & oppressive state-run propaganda machines & a setback for U.S. interests. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...
Trump silencing VOA threatens free media in repressive countries, advocates say
Trump’s order to cut funding to Voice of America and several other pro-democracy media outlets has drawn widespread criticism from press freedom organizations.

Trump & Musk are planning to slash one-on-one phone & in-person Social Security field office assistance and want millions of seniors & people with disabilities to file claims in person. They’re not going after fraud, they’re trying to deny seniors the benefits they earned.

March has multiple saints worth celebrating & there's no sweeter way to commemorate St. Joseph’s Day than with freshly baked Zeppole. If you've never experienced the awesomeness of Zeppole, come visit Rhode Island & we'll show you how it's done. Happy St. Joseph’s Day! 🇮🇹

Trump’s unwarranted, illegal firing of FTC Commissioners is an abuse of power & a blatant attempt to undermine the law & public good. Undercutting FTC’s independence could subject Americans to higher prices, more frequent scams, & breed unchecked anticompetitive consolidation.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 18(source)
Trump-Musk keep overstepping & trying to break U.S. gov’t. And they keep losing in U.S. court. America’s great b/c we’re all equal under justice. Time for Trump, Musk & Republicans to stop trying to dismantle gov’t & work w/ Dems to actually make it better.

Republicans are planning to slash Medicaid to pay for billionaires-first tax giveaway. With @whitehouse.senate.gov @magaziner.house.gov @amo.house.gov to call out how GOP cuts would devastate behavioral and mental health care for many RIers. We're fighting to protect the health of our communities.

Honored to serve alongside @whitehouse.senate.gov @magaziner.house.gov @amo.house.gov. Beyond opposing Trump’s anti-worker agenda, we’re focused on solutions to help bring down costs, improve people’s lives, enhance public safety, expand opportunity & uphold RI's core values.
'Courage is contagious': Dems are outnumbered in Congress. What can they actually do?
Across RI's congressional delegation, the message is clear: Keep fighting, keep up the pressure, and deliver for constituents.

The sun is out & the Irish spirit is shining here in West Warwick for the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of the Pawtuxet Valley’s annual St. Patricks’s Day Parade! 🇮🇪
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 14(source)
I opposed the lopsided Republican appropriations bill. Their bill cuts domestic funding and hands President Trump vast discretion on federal spending. The Constitution explicitly gives Congress the “power of the purse” but President Trump wants to seize that power for himself.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 13(source)
Trump and Musk are decimating basic government services while driving up costs for everyday Americans. Trump wants to keep flouting the Constitution. I’m a hard no on cloture and strongly oppose the GOP’s partisan, cynical shutdown ploy.

I welcome the White House decision to restore aid & intelligence to Ukraine. I urge the Administration to do so immediately before another Ukrainian life is lost & to explain the conditions of the ceasefire, including how they intend to hold Russia to account for any violations.
US resumes military aid and intelligence sharing as Ukraine says it is open to a 30-day ceasefire
The attack came as a Ukrainian delegation was set to meet with America’s top diplomat in Saudi Arabia about ending the three-year war with Russia.

President Trump’s tariff salvos, unsteady leadership, & chaotic economic approach is increasing prices, downgrading the entire U.S. economy, & costing Americans in all 50 states. He must change course.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 11(source)
You ever meet someone who says they can help with a home project but when they come over to help they just screw everything up even more? Ladies and gentlemen, that’s President Trump.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 11(source)
Trump Admin chaos has engulfed the National Fire Academy which firefighters rely on to prepare for emergencies & receive advanced training that helps keep them safe. Pres. Trump is again choosing chaos over public safety by denying firefighters tools and training they need.
FEMA cancels firefighter training amid uncertainty over Trump cuts
FEMA said it was canceling National Fire Academy courses as it ensures its programs and budget fit Trump administration priorities.
