I went to church today a few blocks from the shooting. In one day, from shots, screams and sirens, to a congregation gathered for a choir’s beautiful song. How a neighborhood begins to heal.

Praying for the victims and their families. My heart breaks for the students who were looking forward to a holiday break and instead are dealing with another horrifying mass shooting, this time in our own Providence community.

On the ground in Mississippi today seeing firsthand how climate change is driving up home insurance costs by making severe weather more extreme and more frequent. Climate change = huge pocketbook issue here and across the country. Big Oil is to blame.

Poor Chamber. All those years carrying climate-denial water for the fossil fuel industry, and now they get turned on as “woke.”

I can’t recall a single time as U.S. Attorney when I got a “no true bill” from a grand jury. Nearly unheard of. They got two, back-to-back in the same case. Whiff of “vindictiveness,” maybe?

A grand jury has refused to indict New York attorney general Letitia James, the second panel to refuse to do so, dealing a major setback to President Trump.

Now, they own the massive fiscal disaster that is about to hit their constituents – health care premiums will double in a matter of weeks. 🧵

Of course Trump would give the economy an A+ after he rigged it to enrich him, his family and billionaires...
But for the rest of America?
Higher utility bills.
Higher grocery bills.
Historically high mortgage rates.
And skyrocketing health insurance bills.

The problem for Republicans is that they’ve never had a serious health care plan; they define themselves by what they’re against. So when they have to produce, nada. Their “ideas” come from creepy billionaire-funded “think tanks,” and would fail in practice.
