Trump Admin is raising energy costs and withholding $400 million in LIHEAP energy assistance to help Americans in need lower their energy bills. I’m leading a bipartisan push to get this funding flowing immediately for Rhode Islanders and Americans who’ve been hit by the Trump energy shock.

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.

While you worry about healthcare and the price of gas bc of Trump’s war, he’s busy designing a 250-foot arch he's calling the "Arc d'Trump" #allabouthim www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/10/n...
Officials release design for 250-foot arch in Washington, as Trump seeks another imprint - The Boston Globe

Saddened to hear of the passing of MLB legend & RI native Davey Lopes. From his days as a 4-time MVP stealing bases w/ the Dodgers to coaching a host of teams, Davey was a great guy on & off the field. Check out this heartfelt tribute by ProJo’s Joe McDonald:
Davey Lopes' special gift is still cherished 40-plus years later
Lopes, who grew up in South Providence, died on Wednesday at the age of 80. He played for the Dodgers and many other teams, and went on to coach.

So many GOP falsehoods about the DHS shutdown. But the truth is simple: Republican divisions and Pres. Trump’s lack of interest in paying all federal workers is the real reason GOP has yet to reopen DHS.
Republican divisions, Trump’s detachment stymie GOP efforts to reopen DHS
House and Senate Republicans scrambling to end the longest federal shutdown in U.S. history keep running into themselves.  Within the House, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and his leadership tea…

RIC & CCRI are doing great things to prepare RIers for good-paying careers in high-demand fields like cybersecurity. New cyber apprenticeship program launched today will help connect more students with the skills & hands-on experience they need to succeed & help grow our economy.

U.S. media works hard to inform Americans, uphold the 1st Amendment, & respect sensitive details & nat’l security. Pres. Trump said he wants U.S. journalists prosecuted for reporting details on the downed U.S. plane, even though Israeli media apparently broke the news.
Trump says US will go after ‘leaker’ of info on downed pilot in Iran

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!

I oppose Trump’s unjustified defense budget increase. The U.S. Department of Defense doesn’t lack funding, but it currently lacks responsible civilian leadership & management. My statement: www.reed.senate.gov/news/release...
Reed Opposes Trump’s Unjustified Defense Budget Increase | U.S. Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island
WASHINGTON, DC -- Today, the Trump Administration proposed raising the fiscal year 2027 defense budget by 50 percent, to $1.5 trillion, a figure that...

Dems will continue pushing for commonsense reforms to rein in out-of-control ICE & Border Patrol agents. Accountability must come for unjustified violence & unconstitutional actions. GOP should stop trying to ignore Americans’ demand for needed reform & oversight.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govApr 2(source)
The unanimous agreement re-passed today is virtually same deal that was proposed a month ago, but Pres. Trump delayed it while trying to leverage DHS shutdown to punish federal workers & win unrelated concessions. He failed, wasted time & money & inflicted damage on avg Americans.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govApr 2(source)
Today the GOP-controlled U.S. Senate once again repassed the exact same DHS funding bill. Pres. Trump endorsed it. Now House Republicans are last remaining obstruction. They should prioritize homeland security over petty intra-party squabble & reopen DHS immediately.

Good housing news for RI!   🏡New $28M fed investments will help strengthen RI’s affordable housing safety net & upgrade public housing.   🏗️RI Federal Court ruled Trump Admin’s attempt to politicize HUD housing grants was unlawful, helping housing and service providers & removing red tape.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govApr 1(source)
Proud day for the men & women of NASA as the Artemis II mission prepares for liftoff. Kudos to the terrific RI businesses, universities, & researchers who’ve contributed to the #Artemis missions!
