R.I. Senate president had ‘perfect opportunity’ to advance gun bill but didn’t, senators say - The Boston Globe Senator Lauria tried to move a ban on assault-style weapons to a more favorable committee, but Senate President Lawson ruled the motion out of order.

64% of Rhode Islanders support a ban on assault weapons.

So why is Senate President Valerie Lawson refusing to bring this legislation to the floor for a vote?

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

I asked my US Senator to hold them accountable, and Jack Reed did not disappoint. TY, sir. Keep it up.
They're breaking the law and trampling Congressional authority.

Today, the Congressional Budget Office confirmed that the Republican plan to slash Medicaid would kick 2.4 million people off their health insurance by 2034.

The American people deserve better.

Now you know why Shitler wants to destroy PBS

Should remain the top story.

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.

$5000 “baby bonus” to encourage women to have more babies? Come on. That won’t even cover the cost of childbirth.

Instead, here are 10 things we should actually do to make it easier to raise a family:

Note: Americans, If you are planning to use your passport as ID until you can manage to get a Real ID, I beg you consider how screwed you may be if your passport is stolen or lost as you travel in the US.

If as President you answer “I don’t know” when asked if you’ll follow the Constitution, you have violated your oath of office and should be removed.

@propublica.org win another Pulitzer. Because abortion bans kill. Let that sink in. These, today's and tomorrow's deaths will not deter the banners. That minority cannot change. It is the indifferent & the unaware who can be moved to caring. That is the way to reclaim our rights.

US offers $1,000 stipend to encourage migrants to self-deport The Trump administration will offer a $1,000 stipend and travel assistance to migrants who elect to voluntarily "self deport" from the U.S., the Department of Homeland Security said on Monday.

If you listen to Trump voters, they all believe the myth that immigrants get money for not working from the government.

Now Trump is actually claiming he will pay them not to work here.

On Friday, my son stayed home from school because he had a sore throat and wasn’t feeling well. He went with my husband to his office for the morning while I handled our daughter. When he came back at lunch, he was not interested in eating, saying his throat hurt too much. 1/n

WIth everything else you kind of forget that the president of the united states is a crypto scammer

Hey nonprofits: 501c3 status is a federal tax thing. You can operate as a regular org without it. Only difference: You can’t get grants from 501c3 foundations or the government unless they give via a fiscal sponsor, and donors and sponsors can’t try to take a tax deduction for gifts to you.

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Could you ever have imagined you would see a headline like this in your lifetime

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.

I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?
