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.

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.
We are so grateful that U.S. forces successfully rescued both the pilot & weapon systems officer of the F-15 fighter jet that was shot down over 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!
Happy Easter & best wishes to all who celebrate! May your hearts & homes be filled with joy, love, faith, & family.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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!
Chag Pesach Sameach to all gathering around the Seder table tonight! I hope the spirit of joy & renewal fills your #Passover celebration with family & friends.
150 Richmond is home to RI’s state-of-the-art new state health lab & the Ocean State's first life science incubator which is helping drive economic growth & push biomedical advancements forward.
Great things happening in RI for public health & our economy.
As Pres. Trump’s policies raise prices, weaken job market, & shrink federal food aid, it increases food insecurity. As more Americans struggle with cost of living, Congress must keep investing in effective hunger relief programs like SNAP.
Russia is actively helping Iran target U.S. forces & assets. Donald Trump’s lifting of oil sanctions on Russia & Iran has enriched both countries & enabled their malign activities.
Any time House Republicans make phony claim that Dems are uncommitted to strong homeland security, remind them: The DHS funding bill they are insulting was UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED BY REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED SENATE. House Republicans are fooling no one but themselves.
By blocking the bipartisan DHS bill that unanimously passed U.S. Senate, the House GOP is needlessly forcing homeland security personnel to go unpaid and hindering critical work of agencies such as FEMA and CISA (which Trump previously tried to eliminate and undermine).
It's not easy to get 100 U.S. Senators in full agreement. But every Senator from every state agreed to put the safety & security of the American people first & UNANIMOUSLY passed a bipartisan DHS bill to help secure the homeland. Now, House GOP is refusing to vote.
