Half-measures and prevarications at this dangerous time in our nation’s history only encourage the bully that is Donald Trump.

Miller is insane.

Stop.

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 4d

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

Shocking. The bully comes back for more lunch money.

It’s why Democratic AGs fight.

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 · 7d

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.

I have to say I’m puzzled by two governors taking a victory lap regarding Revolution Wind. Did McKee get his personal meeting with Trump? That would be …. no.

The man consistently takes credit for the work of others.

McKee is a paper tiger. Nothing more.
