A decade later, Trump cut $1 trillion from Medicaid, ripped affordable coverage from millions and still has no credible health plan. Trump’s policies and lies have increased health costs and denied Americans coverage. Democrats have real plans to make health care affordable again.

Thank you to all the amazing teachers out there for shaping our future & inspiring young minds! Teachers deserve not only our gratitude during #TeacherAppreciationWeek, but also year-round respect, support, mentoring, & investment.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.gov1d ago(source)

PSA: Quick reminder that this Sunday is Mother’s Day. Don’t forget to pick out a card (before they run out), send flowers (before they sell out), or plan ahead to show your Mom the love and appreciation she deserves!

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.gov1d ago(source)

RI’s strong heritage of shipbuilding launched a new chapter as partnership between Senesco Marine & Havoc will help grow RI’s economy, contribute to our nat’l defense, & advance RI’s leadership in the Blue Economy.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.gov2d ago(source)

Every military officer knows ‘hope’ is not a plan. But Pres. Trump took our nation to war with Iran without a plan, hoping for the best. 2 months later: Strait of Hormuz is still closed, costs are skyrocketing, & Trump can’t explain how this war ends. Americans deserve an answer.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.gov3d ago(source)

RI’s public libraries are community assets that bring people together & unlock opportunity for learning & growth. I’m proud to continue leading the charge in Congress to boost support for America’s libraries.

As Trump-Republicans force you to pay higher prices for everyday gas, groceries, & healthcare they are now demanding $1 BILLION from U.S. taxpayers for Trump’s tacky WH ballroom project.

Once touted as privately funded, Republicans sneak in taxpayer cash for Trump's ballroom project

Senate Republicans tuck $1 billion for Trump's White House ballroom security into their immigration-focused reconciliation package released Monday.

Pres. Trump’s reckless policies are fueling higher gas prices. Brown University researchers from Climate Solutions Lab, led by Jeff Colgan shows Trump's war with Iran has already cost RIers an extra $36.6 million & counting at the gas pump.

Iran War Energy Cost Tracker

Tracks the extra cost paid by U.S. consumers for gasoline and diesel since the Iran conflict began on February 28, 2026, compared against a no-war counterfactual baseline.

Special thanks to the RI Children’s Chorus for helping us kick off 2026 Rhode Island #CleanEnergyWeek on a high note! Also a special reminder of how renewable energy will power a safer, stronger, more sustainable world for future generations.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.gov3d ago(source)

Townie Pride is alive & well here in East Providence as we cheered on ironworkers placing the final beam for the brand new EP Community Center! Proud to support this exciting project w/ over $10 million in federal funds to create new gathering spaces for residents.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.gov4d ago(source)

Happy Rhode Island Independence Day! RIers have always been independent. 250 years ago today, they embraced liberty & renounced allegiance to King George III – the first North American colony to do so.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.gov4d ago(source)

When RI kids thrive, we all succeed. @rikidscount.bsky.social does critical work advocating for the health & well-being of RI children and their annual Fact Book informs smart, forward-looking policy that helps families get ahead & strengthens our communities.

☀️The future is bright here at Narragansett’s Maury Loontjens Memorial Library where new solar installation is saving taxpayer $$ & protecting our environment. New upgrades will offset about a quarter of the library’s energy usage & help power 2 new EV chargers.

Sen. Jack Reed: "The language of the statute does not provide for timeouts like in a football game ... the president is ignoring the law, and we have to keep the pressure on"

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.gov5d ago(source)

It’s a centennial celebration here at the beautiful William Hall Free Library on Broad Street. A lot has changed over the last 100 years, but one thing that is constant is this special library bringing people together & serving the community.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.gov5d ago(source)

Getting set to join Martha Raddatz on This Week ABC to discuss Iran, national security, & more. Be sure to tune in!

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.gov6d ago(source)

The cost of Republican inaction in action. Frankly, it’s unacceptable. Dems voted for & continue pressing to responsibly lower health care costs & extend ACA tax credits. Republicans should listen to the American people & join us.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.gov6d ago(source)

Celebrating a terrific group of #LiteracyLeaders at the annual URI Graduate School of Library and Information Studies Awards Ceremony for 2026 URI Library & Info Studies grads and their families. Thanks for all you do to help support and create new opportunities for Rhode Island communities!

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMay 1(source)

Proud to deliver key federal support to renovate Narragansett Fire Dept. Station 2 & ensure construction wouldn’t impact service & response times. Modernized, upgraded, & outfitted, this new station will help firefighters safely serve residents & visitors for years to come!
