Outrageously wrong.

President Trump fires Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden

President Donald Trump has fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden as the White House continues to purge the federal government of those perceived to oppose the Republican president and his agenda.

Trump Admin: ignoring privacy rights & civil liberties guardrails while unleashing DOGE coders to collect & centralize Americans’ private data. I gave Trump’s FBI Dir multiple opportunities to address unprecedented security risks this poses. He refused. We should all be alarmed.

Trump’s trade announcement is a clear win for Rolls-Royce but a big, fat LOSS for the American people. U.S. consumers & businesses will still be forced to PAY MORE for a plethora of goods than they did before Trump took office.

Feds unfreeze another $251 million for RI to replace bridges along I-95 corridor. What to know

The funding includes $251.1 million for RIDOT to address the condition of 15 bridges located along nearly 10 miles.

Transportation investments should be driven by need & merit. Thanks to advocacy of @whitehouse.senate.gov & our entire delegation, I’m glad the Trump Admin is following the law to provide these critical funds for RI’s interstate highway system.

Ensuring our kids have a high-quality education & support they need to thrive is a top priority. Trump Admin’s gutting of Dept. of Education doesn’t accomplish this. I joined Dem colleagues in raising awareness about dangerous consequences of Trump’s education plan.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMay 7(source)

Small businesses make a big impact. RI is home to thousands of outstanding #smallbiz that fuel local economies & contribute to our communities. I’m committed to ensuring small biz owners & entrepreneurs have the resources, support, & tools they need to grow & thrive.

Americans are struggling due to Trump’s policies, which are increasing costs on consumers and businesses alike. Instead of changing his irresponsible policies, Trump is telling children to expect fewer toys, especially dolls.

Trump’s Rants About Young Girls’ Dolls Just Got Weirder and Darker

Who actually wants to work at a Barbie doll factory in America, anyway?

Senate confirms Bisignano to lead Social Security Administration as agency faces DOGE overhaul

Wall Street veteran Frank Bisignano has been confirmed by the Senate to serve as commissioner of the Social Security Administration.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMay 6(source)

Republicans had a choice between protecting Social Security or voting for Trump’s billionaire CEO buddy, Frank Bisignano, to run Social Security into the ground. Senate GOP decided they’re fine with gutting SSA & threatening earned benefits for millions of Americans.

In a letter Friday to President Donald Trump, several Democratic senators accused Musk of “the possibility of self-dealing” while in government.

Public servants should serve the public – not themselves. Joining @whitehouse.senate.gov & colleagues in demanding accountability for Musk.

Hegseth orders Pentagon to cut number of senior generals by 20% | CNN Politics

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered senior Pentagon leadership to cut the number of four-star generals and admirals by at least 20% across the military, according to a memo signed by Hegseth...

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMay 6(source)

We need efficiency at the Dept. of Defense. But personnel decisions should be based on facts & analysis, not arbitrary percentages. Eliminating the positions of many of our most experienced officers without justification could cripple the military.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMay 6(source)

Be sure to thank a teacher this week! Teachers show us the way, educate the next generation, & help build thriving communities. We must support our teachers & ensure public schools are modern, fully-equipped, welcoming community assets. #TeacherAppreciationWeek2025
