No explanation needed.

This is a notable statement from RFK Jr, and one that makes me happy. Children should not be coming down with, and dying from, illnesses all but eradicated in the 1950s. The science shows that vaccines are safe, effective, and protect your children from some awful diseases.

Is anyone with me? Please read my opinion piece in today's GoLocalProv and answer my question at the end. See first comment.

Here is how the Congressional Research Service describes how tariffs work.

Importers pay tariffs at US ports of entry - these are US businesses. The US Customs and Border Protection agency collects this tax. The source country has nothing to do with this process.

How similar was the 2024 election compared to 2020? Check out this chart, which shows the total votes cast in 2020 and 2024 in the swing states. All that nonsense about 15 million missing votes the day after the election was just noise.

How Trump won

The Director of "2,000 Mules," Dinesh D'Souza, admits the essential "proof" behind the film's fraud claims was false. That doesn't stop D'Souza from tripling down on his claims that the film uncovers fraud. He now does so with even less evidence than he had before. 1/

If four years of investigations and legal actions have failed to produce definitive and actionable proof of massive, election-altering fraud, does anyone believe this will go anywhere?

East Bay and southern MA peeps: this is why you are sitting in the massive traffic jam on 195 West.

Girders F through beam L ALL have backed-off nuts on the bearing plates that attach the girders to the concrete substructure (except for J). This likely indicates that the whole thing is moving in unwanted ways. The bolts for some bearing plates are bent; in others, all four bolts are backed-off! 3/

In the 1st image you see the girders under the area where RIDOT is working and where your car bounces into the air when you go over it (credit to Rob Cote for identifying this issue). I added red labels to identify girders not originally labeled in the photo, which is part of the 2024 inspection. 2/

Bridge update: Beam me up, down, or sideways?

The area of the still-in-use Washington Bridge where the RIDOT is closing lanes to conduct "routine maintenance" has some non-routine problems (at least in states where DOTs are run transparently and effectively). 1/
