Pres. Trump’s policies are holding Americans back, making you pay more, & squashing opportunity.
Sec. Noem’s tenure at DHS was a trainwreck. Her toxic mismanagement was bad & so is Trump’s unchecked ICE agenda that continues trampling the rights of ALL Americans.
As Pres. Trump launches war with Iran and other new military interventions, his Administration has forced out thousands of Veterans Affairs health care staffers, and those who remain face higher workloads and risk of burnout.
Every RIer who picks up a copy of @thevalleybreeze.bsky.social on their way out of the market knows: Ethan Shorey is a powerhouse in local news & a dedicated journalist.
Wishing Ethan all the best for his future endeavors!
Pres. Trump launched a preemptive, costly war without public support or Congressional approval.
Now every member of Congress must debate & vote on whether they want to co-sign Trump’s war of choice with Iran.
I’m for the bipartisan Kaine-Paul resolution & against Trump’s unauthorized war.
Pres. Trump preemptively launched war on Iran w/ no plan to evacuate Americans in harm’s way. While other countries have flown their people home, many Americans are now stranded. U.S. citizens in the region should register at step.state.gov. RIers in need may contact my office for assistance.
Kicking off Women’s History Month with the Women’s Fund of RI & inspiring women leaders who are clearing the path for progress & a brighter future for future generations.
Special thanks to all of our terrific panelists today for the incredible insights & stories they shared.
Trump alone slammed a $130 billion tariff tax on us. He lost in court. Now it’s Time for him to give RIers their money back. @democrats.senate.gov are working to get families & small businesses the refunds they deserve.
Pres. Trump’s saber-rattling for war with Iran is taking the country down a dangerous path without a clear strategy or endgame. And that puts U.S. national security at considerable risk.
It’s taken historic effort to dig out from the historic Blizzard of ’26.
Grateful for municipal & state workers, first responders, RI National Guard, servicemembers & crews from other states, neighbors helping neighbors, and all who have worked hard & are helping RI get back up and running.
Don’t get scammed. The IRS is not going to cold call you demanding payment or personal info over the phone. Hang up and report the call.
Rhode Islanders can call my office if you are concerned and I will open a case for you.
Too often, Republicans have refused to provide a check on Trump’s abuses of power & failed policies. That must end. I won’t stop working across the aisle to find consensus, clear the path for progress, & deliver for RI and our communities. 3/3
The reality is: On the economy, tariffs, immigration, health care, & foreign policy, Pres. Trump’s policies are deeply unpopular. Republicans must join Dems to listen to Americans, bring down costs, & make U.S. stronger, healthier, & more prosperous. 2/3
Pres. Trump has led the state of our union into a state of disrepair.
I’m focused on lowering costs, strengthening education & nat’l security, ending the chaos, & ensuring RIers can afford health care, rent, energy bills, and a home.
I invite the president to join me. 1/3
If President Trump has nothing to hide in the Epstein Files, why is his Admin apparently still withholding critical documents that mention his name? Survivors deserve justice. The American people deserve to see the evidence. Abusers must be held accountable.
I’m focused on helping Rhode Island recover as quickly as possible from this massive blizzard.
That’s why I’m joining my colleagues in the delegation to ensure federal resources are available to assist our communities & state with storm recovery.
This is a monster of a nor'easter. Heavy snow & high winds are a dangerous combo. So please stay safe!
Reed Opposes Preemptive Attack on Iran, Urges Restraint and Adherence to U.S. Law WASHINGTON, DC — Reports this week indicate that President Trump is considering major, sustained U.S. military action against Iran. The administration has accelerated the deployment of substantial military assets to the region, including two aircraft carrier groups, dozens of naval vessels, and hundreds of aircraft. In response, U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI), the Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, today urged the administration to carefully weigh the full consequences of military action before proceeding. Senator Reed stated: “A preemptive attack against Iran at this time would be a strategic misstep, and I am concerned that such recklessness could spark an uncontrolled conflict. Military strikes on Iran would risk igniting a wider regional war, endangering American forces across the Middle East, and destabilizing global markets in ways that would harm everyday Americans. Despite demands from myself and others, I have seen no credible proposal from the administration regarding the strategic objectives of military action against Iran, the logistics of such an operation, nor what a ‘day after’ plan would look like. “The American people do not want another costly war, particularly when viable economic and diplomatic tools remain available to achieve our objectives without putting American lives at risk. Further, Congress alone holds the power to authorize war, yet the administration has failed to engage with Congress during this latest military build-up. “It is easy to start a war; finishing one is much harder. Before any military action is considered, President Trump must come before the American people, explain why any conflict would be necessary, be honest about the risks and costs, and present a clear strategy with a defined endgame.”
Years of modernization & workforce investments we’ve made on the federal level are paying off & bringing thousands of good-paying jobs to Rhode Island.
Now that SCOTUS struck down Trump’s faux-emergency tariffs, it’s time to return money back to American people. Trump Admin must establish a swift & fair refund system & work w/ Dems to lower prices.
February 20th will forever be a painful day in Rhode Island’s history.
Today we pause to remember the victims of the Station Nightclub fire and share our gratitude for those who rushed to help and all who’ve worked to improve fire safety and make a difference for those impacted.
Trump Admin’s push to isolate U.S. from allies & partners extends to public health with dangerous & wasteful consequences.
