Then sign it

All he's done is make everyone hate him more.

RI Governor who last polled at 19% decides not to sign budget…but also not veto it…

Weird flex? Petty overload? Desperate attempt to stay relevant in his unpopularity?

Shocking NO votes:

Sen. Bissaillon— North End of Providence.
Sen. Urso—Pawtucket. Two crosstown routes 76 & 80 could be affected by cuts.
Sen. Murray—Woonsocket, where RIPTA Routes 54 & 87 are lifelines for many folks.
Sen. President Lawson—East Providence.

Transit riders deserved better. 😞🚌

Dan Bongino has a nice cry on Fox & Friends: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, my wife is struggling... I stare at these 4 walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated. And it's hard."

(Note that Brian Kilmeade has to encourage him lol)

Out of an abundance of curiosity and boredom, I've decided to let the internet name my new tattoo. The offerings so far are Jacqueline, Kita, Opal, Fae, Francine, and Xerxes. I'll probably put a poll out with my favorites soon. Got the tattoo done at tattoo magic at 50 Agnes street in olneyville

Seems like Mike Lawler had a whole police dept there to physically eject people from his town hall.

I don’t need to have Karl Rove of FoxNews to tell me what to do. The guy’s a total Loser who’s been wrong about almost everything!

Black and white photo of a smiling young light skinned boy in casual clothes, crouching on a lawn and reaching one hand out to a shorthaired black cat that is lying on the lawn nearby.

Elon Musk Admits He Was Radicalized by Twitter Musk revealed how Twitter changed him in a sit-down with Lara Trump.

The great free speech champion refuses to do interviews with actual journalists and retreats to the safe space of a *checks notes* Lara Trump ‘interview’. LOL.
