REED: Trump tells a story about speaking to you while you were serving in Iraq, & you said you loved him & 'I'll kill for you, sir.' He said you then put on a MAGA hat. Is any of this story true? CAINE: I went back & listened to those tapes & I think POTUS was actually talking about somebody else

UPDATE: AG @peterneronha.bsky.social filed a lawsuit challenging the termination of these grants for Rhode Island. Pres. Trump is taking a wrecking ball to America’s public health infrastructure & states across the country are fighting back.
R.I. lost $31 million in CDC grants. State officials ponder what to do next. • Rhode Island Current
Rhode Island lost approximately $31 million in unspent Centers for Disease Control grants after a federal rollback of COVID-era funding. The lost funds supported vaccination efforts and other health d...

For the last 17+ hours & counting, @booker.senate.gov has been speaking from the heart about the negative, destabilizing impact Pres. Trump’s policies are inflicting on Americans' financial well-being & the very foundations of our democracy. We are with you, Cory. Keep going!

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

We are calling on the Trump Admin. to immediately cease this misguided mission. The migrant relocation operation at Guantanamo Bay is unsustainably expensive, operating under questionable legal authority, & harmful to our military readiness.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 30(source)
The cost to fly these immigrants and detain them at GTMO is in the tens of millions of dollars a month. American taxpayers are being insulted. Trump could implement his immigration policies for a fraction of the cost using existing ICE facilities in the U.S.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 30(source)
After touring, it’s obvious GTMO is wasteful, likely illegal, & certainly illogical location to detain immigrants. Trump’s plan doesn’t make U.S. safer. Our troops will always get the job done, but their time, skill & resources are being carelessly wasted by Trump Admin.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 30(source)
Fixing the immigration system won’t be cheap or easy. But the money Trump Admin is spending on their Guantanamo Bay migrant relocation operation is a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars & misuse of military resources. I traveled to GTMO to survey the operation.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 30(source)
I voted for billions in border security funding bc we must fix our broken immigration system. Those found guilty of violent or serious crimes are subject to deportation - that’s the law. A thread 🧵
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 27(source)
This is a prudent step toward accountability. Secretary Hegseth, Mike Waltz, and President Trump must answer for this disturbing, dangerous incident. They must be truthful with the American people & not make the cover-up worse than the crime. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u...
Judge Moves to Prevent Hegseth, Waltz and Others From Deleting Houthi Texts
Judge James E. Boasberg said top officials, including the defense secretary, the national security adviser and the secretary of state, must preserve the messages they exchanged.

UNFROZEN: Millions of dollars in federal funding for the Washington Bridge. Thanks to my seat on Senate Approps Committee & @whitehouse.senate.gov’s role as leading Dem on Senate EPW, RI delegation got this critical funding flowing to RI, but more to do.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 27(source)
Clearly Trump learned nothing from his botched 2020 pandemic response nor current mismanagement of measles outbreaks across U.S. Firing 20k public health workers, cancelling $11.4 billion in public health funding, & spreading vaccine misinfo makes America sicker & more contagious.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 27(source)
Joined SASC Chairman Wicker in sending a letter to the Acting DOD Inspector General regarding reckless Signal group chat among senior Trump Admin officials. There must be an immediate bipartisan investigation to deliver answers about this deeply concerning security breach.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 27(source)
Our communities need clean air & clean water to be healthy, safe, & productive. Proud to join @whitehouse.senate.gov on the Senate floor to call out the Trump Admin’s misguided plans that would allow more pollution into our communities – hurting public health & the economy.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 26(source)
Libraries & Museums matter. Led bipartisan group of fellow Museum & Library Services Act co-authors calling on the Trump Admin to uphold the law & disburse approved funding for Institute of Museum & Library Services that helps libraries and museums serve the public and strengthen our communities.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 25(source)
Wishing RI’s Greek community a happy Greek Independence Day! 🇬🇷 Rhode Island is proud to be the home of a vibrant Greek community whose rich heritage, culture, and countless contributions have made our state and nation a stronger place.
