As #AmeriCorpsWeek comes to a close, Rep. Larson & I teamed up on the ACTION for National Service Act to grow our capacity to equip & empower young Americans to address our nation’s most pressing issues & serve their country while earning money toward their education.

Teamed up w/ @whitehouse.senate.gov & @magaziner.house.gov to deliver $700,000 federal earmark for the Ocean Community Y’s Westerly-Pawcatuck Branch. Great to see upgrades & new spaces now complete to boost programming & create new spaces for the community.

Happy 105th birthday to the timeless & tireless Ms. Lillian Nauta! We are grateful for her service as a U.S. Navy Nurse during WWII, & I am working w/ bipartisan colleagues to collectively award Ms. Nauta & her fellow WWII Army & Navy nurses a Congressional Gold Medal for their heroic service.

Joined @sacri-ri.bsky.social’s annual legislative leaders forum at @rhodeislandcollege.bsky.social to discuss my work to improve health care, boost affordable housing, lower costs & strengthen financial stability for RI seniors and all RIers.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 12(source)
The housing bill would have been even more impactful if it included my proposal to redirect $66 billion from Pres. Trump’s planned immigrant detention centers & Minneapolis-style immigration raids towards building more homes for Americans. 2/2
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 12(source)
We need to build more housing & create strong, family-friendly neighborhoods where people can afford to live & put down roots. Today, U.S. Senate voted 89-10 to pass a new housing affordability bill that cuts red tape & increases housing opportunities. A good step forward! 1/2
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 12(source)
Monitoring reports of deadly shooting at Old Dominion University, which is reportedly being investigated as a terrorist attack. As law enforcement investigates, I’m thankful for those who sprung into action & courageously stopped the shooter & assisted others.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 12(source)
Grateful for heroism of Temple Israel security & Michigan law enforcement who kept community members safe from an appalling antisemitic attack today. Good citizens across our nation must stand resolute against rising antisemitism, bigotry, & violence.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 12(source)
Republicans control the White House, House, & Senate and orchestrated this DHS funding lapse. Democrats have offered commonsense plan to rein in ICE & CBP while keeping the rest of DHS fully funded. GOP must join us & stop out-of-control ICE and CBP from trampling on the rights of all Americans.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 12(source)
Pres. Trump recklessly took our nation to war without consent from Congress or the American people. Now, GOP Senators must join us in demanding answers & accountability. Our troops deserve clarity & Americans deserve to know what this war is truly costing them in blood & treasure.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 11(source)
The vast majority of Americans don’t want a war with Iran. Pres. Trump started one anyways. @schumer.senate.gov, @shaheen.senate.gov & I are demanding Trump Admin officials testify under oath to explain to the public why Pres. Trump started this reckless war with Iran & the strategy going forward.
U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govMar 9(source)
Trump Admin officials should not profit off war & death. But as prediction market betting spreads, the CFTC is letting insiders anonymously profit from wagers placed before public news of U.S. military actions, creating a dangerous breeding ground for corruption & nat’l sec risks.
