NSF research investments boost economic development & attract top research talent to RI. Met with PVD-based @amermathsoc.bsky.social to discuss how NSF funding, like recent $16.5M for Institute for Computational & Experimental Research in Mathematics, helps unlock discoveries & solutions.

Happy Birthday, U.S. Air Force! Forever grateful to the dedicated men & women of the U.S. Air Force who selflessly defend our nation & maintain U.S. air superiority. Thank you for your service!

RFK Jr’s anti-vaccine actions are unsupported by scientific facts & endanger public health. Kennedy’s efforts to undermine childhood vaccinations could lead to more infections, more hospitalizations, & more preventable deaths.

How the Trump Administration Is Dismantling America’s Cancer-Research System

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govSep 17(source)

I fight for increased federal research funding each year & wrote the law that boosted childhood cancer research. Pres. Trump signed it during his first term. Right now, we’re losing our progress. This Admin’s attacks on science must end.

Trump Is Shutting Down the War On Cancer

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govSep 17(source)

Pres. Trump is cancelling promising research & shutting down the war on cancer so he can spend more money on culture wars & his reckless, unauthorized military operations.

Double-digit increases to insurance premiums coming to nearly 175,000 in RI. Here's why

Insurance premiums in Rhode Island now account for over one-fourth of a household’s median income – and are still rising

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govSep 16(source)

About 175,000 RIers are expected to see their health care premiums rise by double digits next year. I’ve got a plan to help reign in these runaway price hikes, but Trump & MAGA Republicans don’t even want to negotiate on this. Regular people deserve better from the President.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govSep 16(source)

Grocery prices are up. Trump’s tariffs are not helping; they’re forcing you to pay more each and every day.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govSep 16(source)

The power to declare war belongs to Congress, not the president. These egregious killings are illegal and risk dragging America into war with Venezuela. Congress must hold President Trump accountable and stop this reckless abuse of power before it’s too late. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-s...

Trump announces second U.S. strike against alleged drug boat from Venezuela

President Trump announced Monday the U.S. military has carried out a second strike on alleged Venezuelan "narcoterrorists."

Families on Obamacare brace for higher health care premiums next year

Tax credits made ACA plans affordable for middle-class families. They're set to expire at the end of this year.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govSep 15(source)

Higher health care premiums are expected next year because Pres. Trump’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill put billionaires over working families. Congressional Republicans must come to the table to lower health care costs & help Americans keep the peace of mind of being insured.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govSep 12(source)

Honored to meet former crew and family members of the USS Leonard F. Mason (DD-852). Hope you enjoy reunion with fellow shipmates & loved ones & your visit to the Ocean State!

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govSep 12(source)

Visited Revolution Wind’s Onshore Substation to meet w/ RIers who are building, innovating, & electrifying to help lower energy bills. I’m fighting alongside our delegation to reverse Pres. Trump’s reckless stop work order & get this 80% complete project done.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govSep 12(source)

Celebrating @quonsetri.bsky.social’s newest working waterfront addition: Terminal 5 Pier & Blue Economy Support Docks. Years of hard work & fed investments have created a big economic engine here for RI. We’ve got to keep working to wisely develop this site for RIers now & in the future.

NEW: $8M for Bradley Hospital’s dedicated mental health professionals to boost research & strengthen services. This federal grant will help build a new facility to improve pediatric psychiatric research & make it easier to access top-notch services in one centralized, modern facility.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govSep 11(source)

For the good of workers, businesses and communities, Republicans must join Democrats to repeal Trump’s inflation-driving tariffs. Time to stand up for lower prices on healthcare, groceries, goods, and more.

Stagflation concerns rise with increased inflation and jobless claims

The consumer price index rose in August at a 2.9 percent annual rate, up from July. Jobless claims rose to the highest level since 2021, as the labor market weakens.
