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...
On the ground in Mississippi today seeing firsthand how climate change is driving up home insurance costs by making severe weather more extreme and more frequent. Climate change = huge pocketbook issue here and across the country. Big Oil is to blame.
We used to get Chamber trending on Twitter as #ChamberofCarbon, such was their fealty to fossil fuel polluters, not helping other members.
Chamber was tagged as a “worst climate obstructor” by InfluenceMap, as servant of fossil fuel, conduit of fossil fuel dark money.
Poor Chamber. All those years carrying climate-denial water for the fossil fuel industry, and now they get turned on as “woke.”
I can’t recall a single time as U.S. Attorney when I got a “no true bill” from a grand jury. Nearly unheard of. They got two, back-to-back in the same case. Whiff of “vindictiveness,” maybe?
This is the kind of crap that will prevent the administration from getting permitting reform.
Trump’s Christmas present to South Carolina is measles? Great.
