Well, no wonder her grandson ended up to become one of the superstar journalists for @wpri12 !
It's obviously in your genes, @TedNesi !

[Ted Nesi @TedNesi]

And for a time in the 1980s she was on the national stage, when she successfully sued the state of Massachusetts for a smoke-free work environment. Here's a clip of her talking to Harry Reasoner on "60 Minutes" in 1984 at the house in Attleboro where she still lives today.

She is indomitable, highly opinionated, a proper Bostonian of her era. She shaped me, the first of her 10 grandchildren, more than almost anybody else except my parents. She also has to be one of the only 100-year-olds in the country who can send a text message.

Happy Birthday, Marie Lee!
I'm sure you've got wonderful stories you could share of your life's experiences!

[Ted Nesi @TedNesi]

Happy 100th Birthday to my amazing grandmother, Marie Lee, who kicks off her second century this morning. She was born during the Coolidge administration - the same week as NBC's very first nationwide radio broadcast (no TV until her 20s!) - and is still unbelievably sharp.

These are the heroes who truly make a difference in the lives of others! Thank you, @StreetStories12 for bringing this story to our attention!

General contractions is a man of many talents! I was impressed when I learned of his musical talents! Not much this gentleman can't do!

[Mike Montecalvo @mmontecalvotv]

Thank you to all our #Veterans and congratulations to Gen. Centracchio on a well deserved tribute. @StreetStories12 @wpri12 @JohnnyVillella @RI_VETS

A historically bad night for RI GOP in Assembly races

GOP will control only 2 of 38 Senate seats - just 5% - a record low in the near-century since RI's Bloodless Revolution of 1935

Prior low was 8% in 1975

House, at 8 seats, still better than 2008/2012

Senator-elect James Talarico (D-TX) shares a message to Elon Musk, who donated more than $150 million last month to a super PAC supporting Senate Republicans: “The power in this state, in this country, belongs to the people, and we’ve got to make sure it stays that way.”

People in Minneapolis placed “I Voted” stickers on memorials dedicated to Renee Good and Alex Pretti on Election Day.

[Bill Clinton @BillClinton]

Yesterday was a great day for our democracy. If we want to hold on to what we’re feeling today, we need to get to work.

World sees U.S. Midterms as a rebuke of President Trump.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Deb Haaland, a 35th-generation New Mexican from the Pueblo of Laguna, became the first Native American woman elected governor in a race against Republican Gregg Hull, a former mayor.

The Democrat can now add first Native American female governor in U.S. history to the list of barriers she has broken. In 2018, Haaland was one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress. Then, she became the first Native American Cabinet secretary, running the Department of the Interior in 2021 during the Biden administration.

"The American people have spoken and what they've said is mainly curse words aimed at Donald Trump"

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

DO YOU REMEMBER AMERICA BEFORE TRUMP?

[Saturday Night Live @nbcsnl]

see you at the polls

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

Donald Trump likes to talk but today it's time for him to listen. Make sure he hears you, America.

[Josh Shapiro @JoshShapiroPA]

Tonight, the people of Pennsylvania have spoken.

Tomorrow morning, I’ll be back behind my desk continuing to move this Commonwealth forward.

[Bill Clinton @BillClinton]

You deserve a government that works as hard for you as you do for your family. Democrats will lower costs, protect health care, end senseless wars, and stop tariffs that make life more expensive. If you haven’t already, I hope you vote today. It’s high time we put people first again!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

This Election Day, you have the power to change the direction of this country, but only if you vote.

Reach out to your family and friends to make sure they vote today, too.
