To all the veterans, Thank you for your bravery and sacrifice; your service inspires us all. I am thinking of my grandfather today who served in World War II fighting against fascism.

I was elected to help make life easier and fairer for regular people. There is *no reason* for us to accept the increasing concentration of wealth at the top while ordinary folks lack affordable housing, health care and food. My op-ed in @globeri.bsky.social: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/07/m...

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

repost from @otdRhodeIsland: #OnThisDay Nov. 10, 1780, the Free African Union Society, the 1st Black benevolent society in the U.S., was formed at Abraham Casey's house in Newport. It was composed of "free Africans & other people of colour" who worked to free enslaved people. #RhodeIsland #History

"Melissa Cherney, CEO of the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, said food pantries have seen demand double, if not triple. People are coming in and saying that they haven’t eaten in days." Via @antoniafarzan.bsky.social.

The little School House Rock bill never told us what to do if there's an asshole Speaker who won't allow votes on any bills he doesn't like.

A never-ending parade of corruption and self-dealing.

Attacks on vote-by-mail and voting machines have not stopped despite orderly elections conducted nationwide this week. Our position has not changed. Eliminating vote-by-mail and voting machines is a direct attack on America's freedom to vote. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre... @lwvus.bsky.social

To paraphrase Amílcar Lopes Cabral (1924 – 1973), unless we use democracy to deliver for working people - providing healthcare, childcare, housing, reliable public transit, quality education, parks, safe places for children to play, safe streets - people won't defend democracy

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone! ICE agents keep lying under oath, and you’re the reason the truth is coming out. Your videos and documentation have been crucial in revealing the truth behind those claims.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

This order, from federal Judge John J. McConnell in Rhode Island, ordering the Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits, is an absolute banger: "So here's the ORDER and here's the legal direction from the Court...." Hilarious. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71820...

Ocean State Job Lot announced that all food in its 17 Rhode Island stores is discounted by 20 percent until the federal SNAP program is fully reinstated. That includes coffee, tea, peanut butter, jam, cooking oils, spices, and hundreds of Bob’s Red Mill products.

“The future is definitely not in 19th century technologies that the Trump administration is endorsing," author and former Providence Journal reporter Bob Wyss said. "It’s in 21st century technologies.” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/23/m...

SNAP cuts are only the beginning of Trump cruelty says RI congressional delegation "...behind the SNAP problem are the expiring Affordable Care Act credits, and behind the Affordable Care Act credits is a half trillion dollar cut to Medicare," said Senator Whitehouse.

We should all be asking ourselves why we can't do this in the United States. 🌞 🌬 🌞 🌬

Jesus I see what you've done for others

The only thing that has improved Democrats’ approval rating among their voters has been fighting back against Trump. We cannot afford another “Schumer Surrender.” Urge your Democratic senators to continue holding the line to keep healthcare costs down and protect coverage for millions of Americans.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

New national survey by Data for Progress (N=1,257 likely voters; MOE ±3) found 70% of all respondents say that our economic system is "rigged in favor of corporations and the wealthy"; & 72% support a 2% tax on income over $1 million. Poll conducted 08/22 - 08/24. Time to #TaxTheRich, #RhodeIsland!

Congratulations @jilld.bsky.social Jill Davidson! And thank you to all those who came out to vote in the special election in Providence's Ward 2, either voting early or on election day. Clearly rent stabilization is something which even the most fortunate Rhode Islanders support. #Democracy

Happy Election Day to all the Rhode Islanders living in Providence's Wayland, Blackstone and College Hill neighborhoods! more info: vote.sos.ri.gov

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Today is Tuesday, November 4th & thousands are still facing frozen SNAP Benefits. Here is an overview of food pantries in PVD: 9am: St. Thomas Church, the Olneyville Food Center, Federal Hill House, & the Silver Lake Community Center 10am: St. Anthony Mission Church 4pm to 6pm: St. Patrick Church

Real officers know the rules of engagement, and they don't bow to a madman. Navy Admiral Alvin Holsey resigned after refusing orders to authorize strikes on Venezuelan boats, citing his oath to protect innocent lives. Bravo. 👏👏

Don’t forget to set your clocks back tonight and don’t forget to vote on Tuesday!

This #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, we recognize Indigenous organizers, caregivers, educators & leaders who have powered movements for justice for years. This work isn’t history — it’s happening right now. And as rights, culture & truth face ongoing attacks, we stand united. 💜

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

This week, we lost another neighbor to traffic violence. Documented for excessive speeding and pedestrian injuries, Branch Avenue has been in desperate need of traffic calming measures.

D.C. Republicans are stealing from Rhode Islanders.  They want to jack up costs for hardworking families. I’m fighting to reopen the government and put money back in your pocket.

There are a lot of think pieces about why trust in government is so poor. People appreciate when you respect them enough to tell them the truth.

I heard there’s been some speculation of additional mayoral candidates in Providence & #CaptainRuggles *is* currently running for re-election for mayor of 5th St but would welcome the opportunity to Ruggle the whole city.

Tonight, the State Properties Commission approved a 10-year lease agreement for 101 Friendship Street, a building where hundreds of frontline DCYF staff members work. Despite the health and safety concerns shared by workers, the agreement was finalized 👎🏽

Report: Medicaid cuts to take a ‘painful’ toll on RI’s smallest city. “For a city like Central Falls — a small, resilient, 1-square mile full of working-class families and immigrants — access to health care is not a luxury, it’s survival," Mayor Maria Rivera said. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/24/m...

Farm bankruptcies are up 56% from last year. More than half of U.S. farms are losing money, threatening small towns and rural economies. Trump's focus? Using U.S. taxpayer dollars for a $40 BILLION bailout to Argentina. www.npr.org/2025/10/16/n...
