U.S. Senator Jack Reed

Trump’s petty move to shoot the messenger still doesn’t change his poor jobs record. It’s his bad policies & economic mismanagement that need modifying.

Senate Banking advances first large, bipartisan housing package in a decade The Renewing Opportunity in the American Dream to Housing Act of 2025 includes proposals that aim to expand and preserve the housing supply.

America is facing a housing crisis & Trump’s policies are making it worse. To help build more homes & apartments and bring down costs, the @banking.senate.gov Committee advanced the bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act.

Today, Senate Appropriators advanced over $4B for #LIHEAP, rebuking Trump's move to end the program. LIHEAP helps RIers lower their energy bills, beat the summer heat, & stay safe from cold in winter. I'll keep working to lower costs for working families & those in need.

EPA moves to end climate regulation under Clean Air Act The agency proposal would rescind the landmark “endangerment finding,” which states that greenhouse gases are a threat to public health.

Once again, Pres. Trump & his Administration are failing to protect Americans while setting our nation back.

This reckless display of climate change denial is bad for public health, the economy, & our environment.

Trump Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent said the quiet part out loud: Trump-Republicans want to privatize Social Security, turning it from a dependable safety net to a risky profit center for moneyed special interests at the expense of everyday Americans.

For 60 years, Medicaid & Medicare have saved lives & kept the promise that in America, your access to health care isn't determined by the size of your bank account.

Now, these programs are under threat & I am working to reverse Trump-GOP's devastating health care cuts.

How National Cancer Institute funding cuts could affect the fight against the disease For decades, the National Cancer Institute has spearheaded breakthrough advancements against the disease. Cancer deaths have been reduced by a third since the 1990s, but now the world’s premier cancer...

The Trump Administration is unscientifically killing promising cancer research.

With food prices up & food banks seeing rising demand, we’ve got to enact bipartisan solutions. Teaming up w/ Sen. Justice to boost food security by planting seeds of economic development for local farmers & fishermen.

Celebrated the launch of Higher Ground’s new RUKIYA CENTER in Providence yesterday.

So grateful to Henrietta White-Holder & her team for their tremendous work uplifting new families, neighbors, & communities.

Education Department says it will release billions in remaining withheld grant money for schools - The Boston Globe President Trump’s administration had withheld $6 billion in funding on July 1 as part of a review to ensure spending aligned with the White House’s priorities.

The Trump Admin tried to shortchange public K-12 students. Together, we stopped them.

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is coming due: 24 million Americans are facing an avg. rate increase of 15% on health insurance bills. Insurers are seeking as much as 20% increase for those who utilize Health Source RI.

A global icon for justice, peace, and reconciliation, Nelson Mandela was a champion of human rights. He continues to inspire. #MandelaDay2025

The terrible reality of Trump-Republicans’ so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’ h/t @paulnoth.bsky.social

Why the Trump Administration Is About to Set Fire to 500 Tons of Emergency Food The Trump administration is about to destroy enough food to feed about 1.5 million children for a week.

www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump Admin would rather set 500 metric tons of lifesaving food aid on fire than send it to kids dying of malnourishment around the world. And this cruel rescissions package does even more to undercut U.S. standing around the world.

Congress is looking to cut $1B in public broadcasting funding and Native American radio stations are at risk Fear is growing that most of the 59 tribal radio stations that receive the funding will go dark, depriving isolated populations of news, local events and critical weather alerts.

www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

In the wake of deadly flooding in Texas & elsewhere, do my Republican colleagues really want to support a package that cuts funding for emergency alerts?

No one wants to swim at a polluted beach. Federal BEACH Act funding tests water quality & keeps the public well-informed – boosting public health, environmental health, & economic health. I oppose the Trump Admin’s effort to eliminate BEACH funding & will work to reverse it.

Trump Admin’s rescission bill isn’t about cutting waste or fraud. It’s a partisan power grab that would halt humanitarian aid & wipe out public broadcasting, emergency alerts, & more.

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline I helped create went online 3 years ago today to ensure that people in crisis always have an easy-to-remember way to talk with someone, 24/7.

Rising Inflation Underscores Risks in Trump’s New Tariff Threats

Instead of lowering prices starting on day one or striking 90 deals in 90 days, Pres. Trump’s senseless tariffs are just raising prices more & more for everyday purchases. Pres. Trump should end his de facto nat’l sales tax & start working to bring down prices.

Trump Official Accused PEPFAR of Funding Abortions in Russia. It Wasn’t True.

Seems like the administration is just making things up to justify its unconscionable cuts…

Getting sick isn’t a choice. But Republicans voted to make health care more expensive & then reversed a key medical debt rule. Teaming up w/ @warnock.senate.gov to demand Trump Admin stop harming people’s financial futures & creating needless barriers to affordable health care.

For 35 years, Paul & Al have made morning commutes a lot more entertaining for so many RIers. Stopped by 94HJY’s studio this morning to help them celebrate their anniversary.

Celebrando la Independencia de Colombia con la vibrante comunidad colombiana de Rhode Island!

Marching down Main Street in Pawtucket to celebrate the rich culture, music, cuisine, & countless contributions RIers w/ Colombian heritage have shared with our state.

As local schools try to prepare & staff up for the coming school year, the Trump Admin abruptly withheld $30M for RI school districts & nearly $7 billion for public schools nationwide. I’m working to restore these funds, stop the chaos, & support local schools.
