This shouldn’t shock anyone who actually understands politics. Voters aren’t asking Democrats to play nice, they demand a fight.
The country is burning and we’ve got too many Dems bringing a spray bottle to a five-alarm fire.

Because of the Trump shutdown, 143,000 Rhode Islanders could lose access to food assistance starting on November 1. Don't let political dysfunction in Washington hurt our community.

So proud to be endorsed by Victory Fund, the nation’s leading organization fighting for LGBTQ+ and reproductive freedom, as an “essential voice for equality.” I’ll bring that same fight to City Hall for a more inclusive, equitable Providence.

Trump strong arms the DOJ to indict his political enemies. It’s authoritarianism in plain sight. The most dangerous politicization of justice in history.

With democracy under threat in Washington, we need to safeguard it in our communities and prove government can make life better.
Being a candidate reminds me daily of this country’s promise. There’s plenty to worry about, but also real hope.

When democracy is under threat, we can't sit on the sidelines. That's why I’m stepping up to run for City Council in my hometown of Providence. After a career electing leaders and winning campaigns on the issues that define our era, it’s time to get in the game.

This is an insidious lie: Trump’s top campaign promise to voters was lowering prices of consumer goods on day one. Instead, his actions have drastically increased costs.
He failed to deliver his single biggest promise.

The sharp swing toward immigration should be a wake-up call for Democrats: take the fight to Trump on every front. Voters didn’t ask for MAGA’s cruelty, chaos, or dystopian deportation force — and they’re rejecting it.
