@pvdstreets.org how can you endorse a candidate who has had a negative impact on the safety of north Main Street? I live on N Main and I can point to lack of action (no light at park row, no speed cameras, no red light camera at smith) and negative action (olney and n/s court)

I didn’t listen—planning to watch the debate on the 13th—but that’s kind of my complaint with her. She’s been running for 4 years, and she still has only platitudes, not real policy? All I’ve ever heard her say is I’ll bring business to the state. Government isn’t business. You can’t wing it.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

A good friend of mine was a pulmonary ICU nurse in Brooklyn and the thing that made me realize how bad things were gonna get were her instagram stories that went from "wash your hands guys!" to "I saw three people die today" in like a week.

I generally agree with Sue’s positions. However, as my rep, she has completely failed to execute. North Main Street (park row to olney) remains dangerous. No follow thru on commitments in meetings. Referral to her nonexistent newsletter. Rhode Island needs doers, not talkers

@sueanderbois.bsky.social for Lieutenant Governor: How I plan to take on the utilities on Day 1 “For too long, we have allowed an out-of-state company to control our electric and gas systems for the benefit of their shareholders. It’s time to put the power back in the hands of Rhode Islanders.”

The House voted 214-208 to pass a war powers resolution directing the president to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities with Iran. This is the second time the House has voted to rein in the president’s war powers over Iran.

As our next Mayor, I will be focused on delivering lasting investments in climate resilience across our city. Our neighbors deserve real preparation and protection from the worsening effects of climate change.

This should be a lightbulb moment for Democrats: You are free to run on this platform because Republicans are going to accuse you of it whether you do or not!

Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."

As dangerous flash floods and heavy rain become more common across Providence, many of our neighbors are left dealing with damaged property and crumbling roads. As our next Mayor, I’ll partner with our City Council to launch a Green Infrastructure Bond to reduce flooding and protect our community!

Thank you to legendary Central Falls native, Viola Davis & her husband, Julius Tennon, for their generous investment in the Central Falls community. The new Mary Alice Davis Family Engagement Center will spread hope for the square mile city and beyond — an inspiring tribute to Viola's mother!

Rhode Island’s congressional delegation and allies speak out against Trump's dirty offshore wind deals "they’re trying every scheme possible to stop alternative energy," said Senator Reed. "The administration bought off several wind energy companies by giving them $2.7B to cancel their leases..."
