Globe RI uploaded this clip. The irony of @DavidMoralesPVD speaking about the work he and his colleagues have done to pass budgetary initiatives benefiting PVD, then @PVDMayor saying that a shortage of meetings resulted in Rep. Morales “not working harder,” speaks volumes. 😐

Here’s a wacky idea: if y’all are so worried about him losing, maybe y’all should stop fucking attacking him.

PVD School Board member @CoreyJonesPVD endorses @DavidMoralesPVD for mayor of Providence.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized".

That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

Uh oh

LET’S. FUCKING. GOOOOOOOOOO

Oh shit let’s fucking go

Susan Collins should be careful about throwing stones from glass houses when it comes to issues of infidelity. It’s been an open secret in Washington DC for decades but the WSJ & NY Times have never probed into it. Wonder why?

Yet another misstep from the City Solicitor in this case. Trying to disqualify a panel member on thin grounds that would obviously fail was dumb.

The Rhode Island Supreme Court has declined to bar a high-ranking Cranston police officer from the LEOBOR panel that re-hears Providence Sgt. Joseph Hanley's police misconduct case. Story by @alexandraleslie: https://t.co/KtyMhLRLqP

@PFNeronha They’re cutting it by allowing hydro and nuclear in & slashing the penalty for not following the law. You have to read the text, not the spin. You know that! Keeping it the same would be a compromise. We should be moving forward on climate, not backward.

[Ryan @BanUnsweetTea]

Sorry I think this guy is what we need in the Democratic Party

[David Morales @DavidMoralesPVD]

I am honored to have the support of our Providence educators who are on the ground supporting our students and families each day. As our next Mayor, I’m committed to prioritizing the mental health of our students, supporting our multilingual learners with the expansion of dual language classrooms, and building stronger relationships between our schools and families.

@KenBlockRI It provides some protections, but most cuts are typically pushed as not having an adverse effect on beneficiaries.

[Sam Bell @SamuelWBell]

Oh my God! The House budget also includes the infamous authorization for blanket Medicaid cuts. That’s something we’ve blocked McKee on for years. I just can’t. I’m shocked. What the actual fuck?!

[Sam Bell @SamuelWBell]

The brutality of the Medicaid cuts in the @RIHouseofReps budget is staggering. Ending GLP-1 coverage for weight loss? Freezing substance use disorder rates? Slashing rate reform itself? I never would have imagined we’d see any of those. But those proposals are in there.

[Sam Bell @SamuelWBell]

How on God’s green Earth can someone come up with the idea of putting even less money for public schools in the budget than Dan McKee proposed?
