Donald Trump promised to lower costs for working families. He didn’t just break that promise, he betrayed it. While families struggle to afford groceries, he handed tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.
Donald Trump sold out the American people.
I don’t often agree with George Will but I’ve been using the same reverse-Churchill analogy using the same quotation. Their turn.
There was a time when America could tell who the bad guys were.
My father’s aircraft from World War II, when he flew for the United States Marine Corps.
My grandfather’s aircraft from World War I, when he flew for the Corps Lafayette.
A new technology emerges in Rhode Island (thanks to composites expertise) as our sea glider steps up onto its foils.
Next step, into the air!

Listen: we have to take Trump seriously because, unfortunately, he is the actual President.
Trump is a joke, and not always a funny one.
But we need to call attention to his rambling and incoherent rants.
This was ONE press conference.

Trump taking “election security” advice from Putin says it all.
Vote-by-mail is safe, secure, and reliable. Trump knows it — he just wants to undermine our elections, and Putin is all too happy to help. Shameful.
The bad news is that Democrats have not done a good job on climate; the good news is that there’s real room for progress from doing better. It’s not hard.
Republicans’ Big Ugly bill is set to trigger $500+ billion in automatic cuts to Medicare.
I visited Leon Mathieu Senior Center in Pawtucket to discuss how I’m fighting to head off senseless Medicare cuts and to fix our health care system so that it works for more people – not fewer.
Katsas is the same Trump judge who helped block the federal court investigation of contempt by MAGA DOJ in the illegal deportation cases, letting thug Emil Bove get confirmed to judgeship without investigation of his misconduct.
But this should be done through the existing chain of command, not by infiltrating it or allowing non-sworn officers to perform core law enforcement functions.
A former state attorney general should know better the ground rules of inter-agency cooperation and the law she’s purporting to invoke.
I think DC is right.
The Home Rule Act says that feds can support local police in administrative functions and POTUS can demand cooperation of DC police.
The only thing scarier than Trump v. Putin is Rubio v. Lavrov; it’s rabbits against ferrets.
And FYI it’s not a “10” when you “get along great” with a mass-murdering war criminal.
Trump thugs trying to throw their weight around in Little Rhody may find out it doesn't go so well.
