Social Security is a lifeline for Rhode Island seniors, but the benefits formula doesn’t always match real rising costs.
I’m co-sponsoring the Protecting and Preserving Social Security Act to update the cost of living formula so that seniors can live in dignity.

Lutnick on Epstein:
Devine: So how come these other people could hang around him and not see it?
Lutnick: They participated. That's what his M.O. was, "Get a massage" And what happened in that massage room, I assume is on video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. That's how he had money.

Their track record on identifying messages and slogans etched onto bullets is pretty poor, so this should be taken with an ocean full of salt.
FBI official: "What I can share with you is that early evidence we're seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contain messages that are anti-ICE in nature. Again, this is just the most recently example of this type of attack."

These folks understand that museums don’t belong to Trump; they belong to the people.
My wife & I are museum goers, and so are our kids — for art, for history, for learning.
Never once have I walked into a history museum & questioned if what I was seeing was true. Are those days coming to an end?

Gov. Newsom to Trump: "You are playing with fire, risking the destabilization of our democracy, while knowing that California can neutralize any gains."
"If you will not stand down, I will be forced to lead an effort to redraw the maps in California to offset the rigging of maps in red states."

Not sure how much reach this will get, but I'm going to give it a try. Publishing friends, I really need to find some additional work as a copy editor or proofreader. Ideally for SFF, because that's been my bread and butter for almost a decade, but I would consider other opportunities as well.

Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off.

The man standing next to Homeland Security head Kristi Noem is Gregory Bovino.
He’s now coordinating CBP operations in LA.
In April, a federal court filed ordered a halt to warrantless immigration stops carried out by Bovino's unit in CA’s Eastern District.
