"The big lie behind the PolluterPage’s fossil fuel nonsense here is that clean energy is more expensive. It’s not. It’s less expensive than fossil fuel, even with all fossil fuel’s massive subsidies. Just look at the “generation stack” of any grid operator.

Add skyrocketing home insurance premiums to the many ways Trump is making life unaffordable for American families.
Trump says he wants to arrest FBI Director Wray, after all Wray’s work to cover up the fake FBI investigation into Kavanaugh. (See my report.) Such ingratitude.
Trump says his economy deserves an A+++ grade. But the American people know better. His economy is failing.
@razomforukraine.org provides deeply needed relief to Ukrainians harmed by Russia’s savage attacks.
Great to join Razom and my Helsinki Co-Chair Rep Joe Wilson to celebrate Ukraine’s resilience through a challenging year. It’s time we pass REPO 2.0 and help lead Ukraine to victory.
Trump’s new low on the economy (36% approval) will get worse as his corrupt attack on clean energy keeps raising families’ electric bills and home insurance costs. And wait til people understand this is ON PURPOSE to pay back his Big Oil political donors.
Rhode Island’s Open Enrollment deadlines are quickly approaching.
Trump’s policies are driving costs up, so double-check your plan before December 23 to ensure it still works best for your family and your budget.
Visit healthsourceri.com for more information.
Hydrocarbons and lies have always been their top products.
Face the facts here.
Republicans aren’t serious about health care. Republicans have never been serious about health care.
They have no plan. Not even a ‘concept of a plan.’
All they know is what they’re against: Medicare, Medicaid and Affordable Care.
Trump’s Rob Reiner comment was low even for him, but it’s the week of Epstein Files release and Affordable Care deadline, so look for more stupid Trump stuff to distract you from that.
Epstein. Health care. Eye on the ball.
Last night’s response was earned over many years of quiet professional work across many agencies, state, local and federal. There’s a lot of credit owed to a great many law enforcement folks, and we saw the benefit last night.
I told AG Bondi that there is a strong tradition of cooperation between law enforcement agencies here in Rhode Island. That’s not true everywhere, and wasn’t always true here, but it has been true here for a long time. Bravo, Rhode Island.
Streets are quiet, but many are still closed off as crime scene efforts are completed. The young officer I stopped to thank had been on duty 16 hours. We owe a big thanks to the law enforcement and first responder personnel.
I went to church today a few blocks from the shooting. In one day, from shots, screams and sirens, to a congregation gathered for a choir’s beautiful song. How a neighborhood begins to heal.
This is an active situation, and I echo Mayor Smiley in urging Rhode Islanders to heed only official updates from Brown University and the Providence Police. We will get through this as a community.
We cannot thank enough the members of the Brown University Police Department, the Providence Police and Fire Departments, and all the first responders from across the state who are on the scene tonight. They put themselves in harm’s way to protect all of us.
Praying for the victims and their families. My heart breaks for the students who were looking forward to a holiday break and instead are dealing with another horrifying mass shooting, this time in our own Providence community.
What possible use could there be to adding these two bozos to that conversation? More gangster gong show? Just what Ukraine needs, right? So shaming for U.S.

Again two Trump judges block the MAGA DOJ contempt investigation. They REALLY don’t want that to happen. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
