U.S. Senator Jack Reed

Unrepentant & unreformed ICE & DHS don’t need another $62 billion. But Americans need more affordable homes. I offered an amendment that would build & rehab 2.1 million homes nationwide instead of constructing more ICE detention warehouses in communities that don’t want them. Republicans refused

Federally funded research has driven historic progress when it comes to pediatric cancer research. We must keep the promise of the Childhood Cancer STAR Act & invest in new cutting-edge treatment strategies and clinical trials.

More bad news from Trump’s economy. At 3.8%, inflation is at its highest level in ~3 years. Republicans need to start working with Dems to put an end to Trump’s inflation-fueling war in Iran & start lowering costs for working families.

Get in…we’re going to Rocky Point! Proud to team up with Mayor Picozzi to deliver $4.4 million federal earmark for the Rocky Point Gateway Project which will reimagine & refresh the entrances to this beautiful park to bring in more events & more fun for the whole family.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pres. Trump’s war sent gas & energy prices soaring. And his plan for lowering your costs seems to be just wait & see.

Instead of ensuring Americans can afford basic staples like health care, gas & groceries, GOP is trying to recklessly pump an additional $140B into unaccountable, out-of-control ICE & Border Patrol. Dems will continue pushing for affordability, accountability & oversight.

North Kingstown was at the forefront of RI’s role in the American Revolution. As we mark 250 years of American independence this year, I’m here w/ @risecstate.bsky.social Gregg Amore to dedicate NK’s new ‘Liberty Tree’ to remind future generations of the true meaning & cost of freedom.

With the help of federal investments, South Kingstown’s brand new Perryville EMS Station will help boost public safety & public health by lowering response times & improving service. Proud to help cut the ribbon on this great new facility w/ @whitehouse.senate.gov & partners.

Americans are paying a steep price for Pres. Trump’s reckless and repeated mistakes in Iran. It is past time he seriously pursues a diplomatic, not military, solution to the war. Democrats will continue working to responsibly end Trump’s war abroad & lower costs at home.

Pres. Trump has an incoherent strategy in Iran. The American people & our servicemembers deserve better. I’m fighting to bring Trump’s misguided & reckless war in the Middle East to an end.

Last year, Pres. Trump raised your costs with his tariff taxes & massive health care cuts. This year, Pres. Trump is raising your costs with his illegal war. RIers have had enough. I’m fighting to stop this war, end the tariffs, & bring down your costs.

What Pres. Trump suggested in this morning’s Truth Social post is wrong, ominous, and against America’s interests and ideals. His reckless rhetoric is unacceptable.

Since the East Bay Bike Path bridges went out of service in 2019, bike path lovers & neighbors wanted to bring them back better than ever. Working w/ @whitehouse.senate.gov, we delivered $14M in fed investments to help make it happen. Today we cut the ribbon on this great project!

St. Joseph’s Day is coming up (March 19!) & the Zeppole Spotlight is shining bright. Thanks to Michael & team at the iconic La Salle Bakery for showing me the labor of love that goes into crafting these sweet treats. Visit your local RI bakery & pick some up today!

Pres. Trump recklessly took our nation to war without consent from Congress or the American people. Now, GOP Senators must join us in demanding answers & accountability. Our troops deserve clarity & Americans deserve to know what this war is truly costing them in blood & treasure.

This is a monster of a nor'easter. Heavy snow & high winds are a dangerous combo. So please stay safe!
