Democrats, we have to stop letting Republicans set the agenda on immigration with their false narratives.
"In other words, most people in the US are now tying crime to recent increases in immigration. That jumped out at me because it flies in the face of years of studies looking at what actually happened after immigrants came to communities across the US. Many researchers crunching the numbers have found there’s no connection between immigration and crime. Some have even found that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than people born in the US."

During this evening's House session, @RepKaren60 introduced a resolution offering condolences on the passing of Jocelyn Azevedo DoCouto, who was tragically murdered in a domestic violence incident recently.
Jocelyn was a beloved daughter, sister, and mother of two young children. She was the owner of JaeSlayed/Beatbymaggz Studio in Rep. Alzate's district in Pawtucket.
Rep. Alzate described Jocelyn as a prominent role model throughout her community. Her friends describe Jocelyn as a fierce advocate to ensure her friends and family pursued their dreams. She was very passionate about everything she did, and she loved her family immensely.

Shutdown Watch
@RIHealth says it expects to have enough leftover federal funding to keep the WIC nutrition program going for about 4 weeks if the federal gov't shuts down, but if the shutdown goes into the end of October they'd need to reassess what to do
The Pawtucket Dog Park at Slater Park is a treasured place for our four-legged friends and their owners. That's why we've invested $300,000 to upgrade the space. Join us on September 23rd at 12:30 p.m. for the grand reopening. Now that's something to bark about!🐕🐶
