enjoyer and purveyor of sarcasm; I love Rhode Island.

[Jon Romano @romanojon]

I am actually surprised this story isn’t getting coverage. @AllanFungRI has accepted like $50,000 from sitting Members of Congress who are Election deniers. Have been lots of stories on donations for the last few years but somehow we aren’t focused on this?

[Ian Donnis @IanDon]

With one week until the end of the hard-fought CD2 race, @SethMagaziner continues to highlight how @EliseStefanik and other Trump backers are supporting @AllanFungRI

[Kate Rogers O'Brien @RhodyKate]

A strong fighter, or an abusive, hateful, anti-woman, power-hungry person who doesn’t care at ALL about RI? Cute that her campaign thinks they can spin her vitriol and abuse into something positive when it really just gives a brief glimpse into her toxicity.

[Brian Amaral @bamaral44]

An Illinois contractor says Ashley Kalus called him a "pussy bitch," a "loser," and "Mr. Mom" in texts amid a dispute.

Kalus' camp says it shows she's a fighter: "Rhode Islanders are strong, not meek, and they deserve a governor as tough as they are"

Republicans aren't even trying to hide it. If they re-take the House in November, they will impose a national abortion ban at 15 weeks.

@GovDanMcKee showing your true colors. Not surprising, but at least pretend you deserve to be a candidate for governor. You should be ashamed, and I hope when you get home your mother grounds you for your utter lack of class and manners.

[WPRI 12 @wpri12]

#ICYMI: An interesting moment as Democratic challenger Helena Foulkes tried to call Gov. Dan McKee during his speech to supporters.

[Foulkes Press Team @HelenaBFoulkes]

This is disgraceful, @GovDanMcKee. Throw misleading attacks at me all you want, but Dr. Alexander-Scott’s incredible service to our state should never be called into question.

[Ian Donnis @IanDon]

Former @RIHEALTH director Dr. Nicole Alexander-Scott endorses @HelenaBFoulkes

[Ted Nesi @TedNesi]

INBOX: Former @RIHealth chief Dr. Nicole Alexander-Scott endorses @HelenaBFoulkes for #RIGov

"Early on I saw how critical it was to have a Governor with vision, integrity, a listening ear, and a willingness to be accountable. Rhode Island needs change and needs new leadership."

[Jon Romano @romanojon]

This absolutely DISGUSTING. @GovDanMcKee your #1 talking point is that "you" lead the state vaccination efforts? How exactly did "you" do this? Oh that's right bc the entire apparatus was built for "you" and led by Dr. Nicole.

[Asma Khalid @asmamk]

In announcing Ketanji Brown Jackson -- Biden points out that she has already been confirmed by the United States Senate three times.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Here's how elected Republicans and conservative media can begin the healing and unifying process:

Accurately state that Joe Biden was duly elected president in a free and fair election.

Urge Trump supporters to refrain from further violence.

For a start.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

In the middle of a horrible pandemic and economic downturn, Elon Musk has become the wealthiest person on the planet.

Meanwhile, he has repeatedly tried to prevent Tesla workers from joining a union.

If this is doesn't convince our system is broke, I don't know what will.

[Andrew Feinberg @AndrewFeinberg]

Whoa. ⁦@Forbes⁩ chief content officer warns against hiring ⁦@kayleighmcenany⁩ ⁦or other prominent Trump flacks: “Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie.” https://t.co/KeXF2gVXVV

[David French @DavidAFrench]

Every time Trump hasn’t been held accountable, he’s gotten worse. Every time.

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

If you watch nothing else today, I urge you to watch this. Thank you @jaketapper for speaking truth. He delivered a powerful statement on the events of this week and how we got here. It was with the help of many, many enablers today seeking to rewrite history.

[Kate Rogers O'Brien @RhodyKate]

@jefflevy They could have easily subdued her! They should have called a time out so they could. The terrorists looked reasonable so I’m sure they would have obliged. 🙄

[Kate Rogers O'Brien @RhodyKate]

It’s like there is a discussion about how to calm the insurrectionists. WHAT?? Charge them, throw them in jail, impeach their leader, then charge HIM, and everyone else that invited this. How is this even a question??????

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

When Republicans say we must heal the nation, tell them that the best way to heal the nation is with bipartisan support for impeaching and removing a president who incited an insurrection against the government of the United States.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Five people died and we just learned another officer lost his life.

Yet GOP’s central focus right now are their Twitter counts. I bet many don’t even follow their community’s COVID numbers as closely.

This narcissism and nihilism succinctly captures the “leadership” they offer.

[Kate Rogers O'Brien @RhodyKate]

In unsurprising news . . .
