Clearly Trump learned nothing from his botched 2020 pandemic response nor current mismanagement of measles outbreaks across U.S. Firing 20k public health workers, cancelling $11.4 billion in public health funding, & spreading vaccine misinfo makes America sicker & more contagious.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 27(source)
Joined SASC Chairman Wicker in sending a letter to the Acting DOD Inspector General regarding reckless Signal group chat among senior Trump Admin officials. There must be an immediate bipartisan investigation to deliver answers about this deeply concerning security breach.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 27(source)
Our communities need clean air & clean water to be healthy, safe, & productive. Proud to join @whitehouse.senate.gov on the Senate floor to call out the Trump Admin’s misguided plans that would allow more pollution into our communities – hurting public health & the economy.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 26(source)
Libraries & Museums matter. Led bipartisan group of fellow Museum & Library Services Act co-authors calling on the Trump Admin to uphold the law & disburse approved funding for Institute of Museum & Library Services that helps libraries and museums serve the public and strengthen our communities.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 25(source)
Wishing RI’s Greek community a happy Greek Independence Day! 🇬🇷 Rhode Island is proud to be the home of a vibrant Greek community whose rich heritage, culture, and countless contributions have made our state and nation a stronger place.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 25(source)
The Trump Admin must reverse course and stop the chaos. Whether it’s messing with Social Security or spilling national security secrets in a group chat – this isn’t what Americans want. Time for adult supervision. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Long waits, waves of calls, website crashes: Social Security is breaking down
A flood of cuts led by Elon Musk has sent the agency into chaos as a new commissioner prepares to take charge.

Food. Care. Connection. Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island delivers so much to so many and I am proud to support the effort. It was great to visit with Ms. Patricia today. And thank you to our incredible #MealsOnWheelsRI family! #MoreThanAMeal
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 24(source)
Classified war plans don’t belong in the group chat. The carelessness of President Trump’s national security team is stunning and dangerous. I’m seeking answers and accountability.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 23(source)
Our firefighters deserve the latest and greatest training, equipment, and support available to ensure they can safely and efficiently respond to a wide range of emergencies. Pleased to help break ground on Rhode Island Fire Academy’s expansion to add more class and training space.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 23(source)
Celebrando aquí en La Broa’ to cut the ribbon on Rhode Island Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s brand new HQ! From this beautiful facility, RIHCC will continue providing top notch tech assistance, support, and expertise to RI’s Hispanic and Latino #smallbiz community.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 22(source)
After delivering over $900,000 through the essential Assistance to Firefighters Grant program, honored to help West Warwick Fire Dept place its brand new ladder truck into service. Thankful for the incredible, courageous work our firefighters do to keep our communities safe.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 22(source)
I condemn political violence/acts of vandalism. Let’s see if any R's will condemn blatant public corruption. Repeat after me: “I condemn the Trump Admin's misuse of public office to pump up Tesla stock, enrich gov't officials on taxpayer's dime, & abuse the Hatch Act.”
Trump official's 'buy Tesla' comment raises ethical concerns: experts
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed that there will never be a better time to buy Tesla stock, in what legal scholars say could be a Hatch Act violation.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 21(source)
Trump gets an F for trying to abolish the U.S. Department of Education. And there may be some ketchup stains on the Oval Office walls once he learns he doesn't even have the authority to do it.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 20(source)
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.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 19(source)
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.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 19(source)
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.
