Hot but joyful Bristol Parade gets a nod from D.C.! Bravo, Bristol!!
Notwithstanding fossil fuel propaganda, huge increase in awareness of climate health dangers.
You're likely worth billions, or planning to be. Don't think we won't remember that you don't want to clean up your own mess. You can afford it. You just don't want to. www.reuters.com/business/ene...
@jimacosta.bsky.social looks at where it all began – Rhode Island! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRRb...
So don’t look at the explanations, a fog of reverse-engineered nonsense to get to a desired result. To understand this Court, you need to ignore the fog and look at the patterns of outcomes — not what they say, what they do. www.vox.com/politics/494...
Nature can really pound you when you ignore her rules. Like how climate upheaval works. www.nbcnews.com/video/thousa...
Trump destroyed the teams at DOJ dedicated to going after kleptocrats and oligarchs like Putin, right off the bat. It was the first of many favors. Trump/Russia is no hoax. www.yahoo.com/news/world/a...
Nice to see the work under way at Mt. Hope Bridge.
Always a joy marching in the nation’s oldest continuous Fourth of July parade in beautiful Bristol. Happy 250th birthday, America!
Sometimes you win when you don’t. Little Cape Verde’s performance against Messi and the Argentinian team was one for the ages. Bravo!!
Nothing to see here, folks. Keep believing fossil fuel.
New ocean temperature record set as fossil fuel keeps dumping zettajoules (look it up — big-ass number!) of excess heat into the ocean every year. “Nothing to see here,” say the polluters. They lie. marine.copernicus.eu/press/press-...
Grateful for the generosity of my (part-time) constituent, Taylor Swift.
Wishing her and Travis a joyous wedding celebration — even if it’s not here in Rhody!
A little reminder about Republican Billionaires’ Bill: “extend[ed] roughly $4.5T in tax cuts disproportionately benefiting corporations and the wealthy over 10 years” while “addi[ing] a projected $4.7T to the national debt over the next decade.” Had enough? www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Feeling the Heat? Europe’s heat wave “was so intense that in a stable preindustrial environment … it would have been the kind of freak event the region could expect about once every 26,000 years.” Fossil fuel caused it.

This week marks one year of Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”
8 million Americans have lost their health insurance while the world's richest companies have received billions in tax handouts.
