Let freedom ring! On this day in 1865, news reached enslaved people in Galveston, TX that freedom had finally arrived.
As we celebrate & reflect on #Juneteenth, we remember the challenges & responsibilities we all share in working toward a more perfect union for all Americans.

- The coming weeks will determine whether this ceasefire holds & real negotiations follow. But Trump’s catastrophic war is not at all justified by this weak outcome. I’m calling on Trump Admin to immediately come before Congress. Answers & accountability must come next.
- Trump’s new agreement doesn’t stop Iran from enriching uranium or developing nuclear components. Instead, it freezes the status quo to wait for ‘future negotiations.’ Meanwhile, Trump has agreed to immediately lift sanctions on Iran. Frankly, this is just gross negligence.
- After 100+ days of war, Trump secured little more than an agreement to start talking about Iran’s nuclear program. Trump chose war instead of diplomacy, forced Americans to pay for it, & in return got a ‘deal’ objectively far weaker than the JCPOA he walked away from 8 years ago.
- While dining at Versailles, Pres. Trump signed an ‘agreement’ to end hostilities with Iran. Every American should be relieved this war is ending, but Trump deserves neither credit nor celebration for this outcome. Trump’s war was a catastrophic mistake.
- GOOD NEWS: After @SenWhiteouse & I helped the Senate unanimously pass bipartisan Saving the OOI Act last night, the Trump Admin has reversed its plan to dismantle critical @NSF tool for researching ocean health. Big win for our fishermen, climate, coastal communities, & oceans.
- We can boost U.S. manufacturing, strengthen nat’l security, bring down costs, & create new jobs by modernizing & expanding @EximBankUS’s mission. Our Make More in America Act would help small & mid-sized U.S. manufacturers grow while shoring up domestic supply chains.
- Celebrating our progress along the Woonasquatucket where federal investments & community collaboration came together for new & improved section of the Greenway on Kinsley & Promenade. Kudos to @WRWC for all their terrific work!
00:00 - Red, white, and blue: The flag represents all of us. It’s a unifying symbol that reminds us to live up to America’s values & promise. The stars & stripes embodies E plurbus unum ("Out of many one”). We are The United States of America. Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸
- Senator Jack Reed repostedWATCH: @SenJackReed reacts to reports on a deal between the U.S. and Iran, calling it " basically, less than what we had under the JCPOA, which President Trump walked away from. "
00:00 - #GaspeeDays are here again! Every year, RIers gather along Narragansett Parkway to celebrate RI’s central role in sparking the American Revolution. Here in the Ocean State, we’ve never lost that fiery spirit! 🔥
- Grateful for staff & volunteers of the American @LungAssociation of RI for all of their advocacy. Stopped in to thank them before their annual #LungForce Walk kicked off here at Roger Williams Park. Proud to support their critical work!
- Senator Jack Reed repostedFOR THE FIRST TIME IN 32 YEARS, IT IS MATCHDAY ON HOME SOIL FOR THE U.S. MEN'S NATIONAL TEAM! 🇺🇸
