I am deeply disappointed to see the passage of Trump’s big ugly bill. While too many RIers are already struggling to keep up with rising prices, this bill makes everything harder. It guts Medicaid and food assistance and will blow a bigger hole in our state budget. This is cruel and mean.

Missing appointments. Late school arrivals. Hour-long detours. Small businesses struggling. These aren’t just hassles - it’s hurting RI families & our economy. We need real accountability and oversight for our infrastructure. Rhode Islanders deserve better.

Here's our look at what's happened since then, by the numbers

Millions of dollars, 2 investigations, and one lawsuit later: It’s been one year since the Washington Bridge shut down - The Boston Globe
Currently there is no timeline for when the new bridge, a primary artery to Providence, will be in place.

Brown had 15 steals and 11 blocked shots to beat URI in double OT. In high school I worked for Brown Athletics and did Statistics for both football and basketball.

RI Leaders, get your act together so we can help people get out from the cold. The bureaucracy is insane and inhumane. These pallet shelters should have been ready months ago. Leadership matters www.providencejournal.com/story/news/p...
Wait till next year. As temperatures go below freezing, RI pallet shelter still not ready
The 45-unit cluster of Pallet shelters set up next to the Route 146 highway ramps on Victor Street have been tied up in red tape for much of this year

I’ve been thinking a lot about the power of neighbors and friends right now. And I’m looking forward to a place where we can have uplifting conversations.
