Pleasure to spend the evening in Cranston at Reps. Potter and Handy's Community Conversation. Their constituents raised insightful concerns ranging from the issues that are hurting everyday people to how Rhode Island can stand up to the federal government's lawless and vindictive overreach.

From Kathy at the ProJo, a good overview of the work we're doing in the General Assembly to support our immigrant neighbors in the face of the federal enforcement overreach. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/p...

I am horrified by the tragic news out of Pawtucket this afternoon, where a shooter appears to have targeted his own family in a public arena full of kids. This kind of violence shatters communities. My deepest condolences to the victims. I'm holding all those affected in my thoughts. buff.ly/HltD3PI

After years of DOT mismanagement, squandered resources, lack of transparency and unresponsiveness to the public interest, Rhode Island deserves real accountability. Alviti's resignation today is a step in the right direction. Now we need a total restructuring of the DOT. www.wpri.com/news/politic...

I was happy to share my thoughts with @fitzprov.bsky.social on the bill I sponsored in the House to increase our government's transparency and to give Rhode Islanders access to important data they deserve to have. These APRA reforms are a no-brainer. Read more: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/02/m...

Congratulations are in order to Michael Correia, the new President of the Rhode Island Police Chiefs Association, who will bring to all of Rhode Island the great leadership he models as Barrington's Chief of Police. We're lucky to have him!

This article from the Globe highlights our ongoing push to make data on traffic accidents available to the public. It's part of making our communities safer and ensuring people get the transparency they deserve from our government. We're standing up for Rhode Islanders. buff.ly/TPKm9yx

The House adjourned this evening in honor of Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse killed by federal agents last weekend. In addition to my resolution condemning ICE's unconstitutional tactics, my colleagues and I are working to introduce laws to protect Rhode Islanders from ICE's thuggish abuse of power.

Really good to spend some time with the Unitarian Legislative Ministry of RI last night to talk about how RI can protect our neighbors from ICE's unconstitutional and dangerous tactics. The GA can and should step up here.

I am thankful for the teachings of MLK and the example he set for us during his life. He shows us the path to our better selves. All we need to do is follow it.

ICE is out of control and the General Assembly should say so. rhodeislandcurrent.com/briefs/ag-ca...

On the Minnesota shooting:

At the Women's Bar Association event last night to honor Federal Defender Tara Allen. Tara talked defending constitutional rights, how hard it can be when the government is bent on ignoring the constitution, and the necessity of doing it - especially in times like these.

My heart goes out to the two Guardsman who were shot yesterday and their families. I’m hopeful that they recover. Their sacrifice in the line of duty will not be forgotten

Joint oversight committee on the bridge. Let’s hope we get some answers this time. The public’s right to know what happened here is paramount.

Went on Newsmakers to talk about my record and why I'm the best candidate for AG. Thanks Tim White and Ted Nesi for having me on. youtu.be/-Z9wWB56WDY?...

I'm astounded that the feds are balking at paying for food for hungry families, elders, and kids. I'm grateful to the AG's who are fighting in court to free up this money. I hope the appeals court acts ASAP. This is not complicated. Use the money you already have and follow the law: FEED THE PEOPLE!

Went on Channel 10 News Conference with Gene Valicenti yesterday. Appreciate the opportunity to talk about the AG's race, my record of service, and delivering results for Rhode Island. youtu.be/ByO822-wbcM?...

PSA: You will get a mailing from the Secretary of State's office in the next few days asking you to update your voter information. Follow the link for more information: www.ri.gov/press/view/4...

Last weekend we had the Warren Walkabout on a beautiful day. Very grateful to the RI Secretary of State who brought one of our copies of the Declaration of Independence for everyone to see. The Declaration of is cool but the letter from John Quincy Adams that came with it is pretty awesome too.

Thank you Bristol Dems for inviting me to speak to the committee about the AG’s office, my record of service, and my record of delivering results for RI. Great Q&A!

Thank you Middletown Dems and chair Vanessa Ellermann for inviting me to your pancake breakfast over the weekend. Great turnout, good food, good conversations.

My favorite sign from yesterday! Remember, today we need Less Kings and More Knights! www.jasonknightri.com

Thank you Progreso Latino for a great night. Great crowd and good conversations.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made the launch of my campaign a success! Great coverage here: www.providencejournal.com/story/news/p...

Hello Rhode Island! I'm running to be your next Attorney General.

PSA: Need help with your energy bill? RI Energy is hosting customer services events around the state to provide information and help. More info here: www.rienergy.com/site/ways-to...

Thank you! to the FABULOUS Rep. Grace Diaz for inviting me to your fundraiser and your district in South Providence. Bonus: I was pleased to meet Ward 10 Councilman Pedro Espinal. Great event!

Turns out, you can quit the gym. Kudos to the Mass AG for holding Boston Sports Club accountable and recovering millions for the public. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/16/b...

Had a great time at the JCC Jewish Cultural Festival Sunday. Thank you for the JCC and CEO Adam Greenman for making a great event. And, I didn't expect to see a giant blow up colon, but they had that too!

Keeping all victims, responders, and families touched by the 9-11 attacks in my heart today. Never forget.

A great accomplishment to make Rhode Island safer from gun violence.

Moms Demand Action volunteers have been working with Rhode Island lawmakers for months to ban the sale of assault weapons. Tonight, a ban FINALLY passed the state legislature! We’re so grateful to gun sense champion @jasonknight.bsky.social, who stood up to gun extremists and never backed down. 💪❤️

This is the result of hard work by @MomsDemand.bsky.social volunteers, @StudentsDemand.bsky.social leaders, and gun safety advocates! ✊🏾 I'm grateful to @jasonknight.bsky.social, who has sponsored or cosponsored an assault weapons ban every year since 2018, and was key in getting this passed.

The Assault Weapons Ban bill passed out of committee today and I’m looking forward to a robust debate and vote this Thursday on the House floor. Thank you to all the advocates who have worked tirelessly for years to get to this day.

Had a great time at @gladlaw.bsky.social's annual RI event last night. They do amazing work for the LGBTQ+ community and I am proud to support them.

This morning I attended the Vietnam Memorial Service in Warren. We remember those who gave their lives in defending our nation, especially the four men from Warren who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.

I just heard the news of the passing of Senate President Dominick Ruggerio. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, his constituents, and his colleagues. May his memory be a blessing.

The Rhode Island House Judiciary Committee will hold hearings on March 26, 2025, on the assault weapon ban bill. Supporters are encouraged to attend and testify or write letters in favor of the bill. We can and will get this done! How to send a letter: www.rilegislature.gov/SiteAssets/W...

Gotta say, RI needs serious public records reform. Public records should be easily obtainable and free from interference from a local bureaucrat. This bill definitely goes in the wrong direction.

Great to see Sen. Reed in Barrington yesterday at the Soul Force event celebrating civil rights on this MLK weekend. Great event. Great people.

Fair winds and following seas Mr. President.

One of the nice things about the RI court system is that it's small enough that the personal touch still matters. Managed to avoid an unnecessary court appearance tomorrow by talking to the clerks worked some magic. In the larger system that would be near impossible.
