Sen. Reed backs Iran war powers vote, says Trump is ignoring Constitution β€œPresident Trump cannot continue to ignore the Congress and the American people,” said Reed, the top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee.

NEW: @reed.senate.gov will back a resolution forcing Trump to stop the Iran war within 30 days

Armed Services Cmte's top Dem says he hasn't been briefed by Pentagon and doesn't think his GOP counterpart has, either

"There's no strategic plan," Reed argues www.wpri.com/news/politic...

Whose responsibility are the trash cans at the RIPTA stops in the Hope commercial area?

Made me wonder if it's a change in types of shopping/shopper rather than a death of the mall overall. It was downright lively, honestly.

Was there last week to bring kiddo to a birthday party at Dave and Buster's. To my surprise, it was packed. Every garage level full (went to roof), food court packed. Seemed contrary to the stories.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

Yep. And the January storm saw poor cleanup too, which was large but nothing crazy.

Do we think @reed.senate.gov will stick to his plan of being the only member of the RI congressional delegation attending the State of the Union? Has the press asked him why? What do he or his constituents get out of his continued normalcy performances?

Curiously, there was a memorial service held at the Capitol for ... Charlie Kirk.

New from me: I spoke with @sethmagaziner.bsky.social about his visit to the Wyatt Detention Facility, in Central Falls, last week.

As of the last publicly disclosed head-count, there are over 100 ICE detainees held there.

Yeah, this is the defense to the left critique that Pritzker shouldn't be the nominee because he's a billionaire. He has "fuck you money" when it comes to Silicon Valley and Wall Street.

This was a legit midwestern lake-effect snow here in New England. Glad I got out in it before dark--so great to walk around the city and not see a single car, and instead people walking in the streets with smiles on their faces.

Is anyone shocked the US women's hockey team has good politics and the men's team don't?

I think we should all build awesome snow forts later to restore morale.

NPR interviewed parents of a pair of brothers on the men's team the other day and they sounded very MAGA

I think it is. We're in a little snow shadow I guess. 12-18" depending where I checked.

I think I'd rather see chair selection more democratized within the GA than statewide.

Wow. It's drifty so hard to tell, but 12-18" for us so far in PVD. Seeing other peoples' pics, it sees we're getting some shelter "behind" College Hill.
