Miller is insane.

Stop.

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 10d

Miller’s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Miller’s immediate removal

We can fix health care.

With bold action and by listening to those who actually deliver care.

Attorney General Peter F. Neronha @peterneronha.bsky.social · 13d

Last night, AG Neronha hosted nearly 50 health care professionals for our second roundtable discussion of 2025, soliciting feedback from those on the frontlines of the health care crisis in our state. The discussion ranged from concerns about federal action to policy proposals generated by our team.

Did you know?

The old (original) Jamestown Bridge, the longest in New England at the time it was built, was built in 18 months - 18 months! - by builders from Jamestown between 1939 and 1940.

And under budget too.
