Safe prediction:
Every policy or plan released by any candidate between now and Election Day(s) will draw “sharp criticism” from their opponent(s).
As usual, divining whether or not a plan or policy is likely to succeed is what’s critical.

Hilarious.
He’s been primaried in every statewide race he’s run.
There’s a message in there.
Attorney General Neronha, coalition file lawsuit challenging the Kennedy vaccine schedule and unlawful overhaul of federal childhood immunization policy:

The problem with state of the union and state of the state speeches these days are that they consist of either outright lies or gaslighting or both
After five minutes of Trump, I accordingly went back to Patrick O’Brien’s excellent Aubrey/Maturin novels
As somebody once said, “Come on, 4 O’Clock”
I’m glad I’m near the end of my legal career because some of these decisions are head-scratching at best and I just don’t have the reflexive deference to judicial decision-making I had as a young lawyer.

Actually - Trump CAN’T make law - only the Congress can - and that’s been our point.
Trump can roll back regulations- or try to - but there are legal guardrails there to.
If the courts hold - and that’s the real concern, candidly. Especially the Supremes
There is only one direction for clean energy - forward.
Going backwards isn’t an option here in RI or across this nation.
To bend to climate change deniers or liars about the benefits - including cost - of renewables hurts Rhode Islanders.
That’s why we fight on - nationally and here at home.
I’d love to meet them.

Whoops. It’s only Feb 18. I feel much better.
If state workers have their W2s by Feb 21 all is forgiven.
How is it possible that it’s February 21 and the “RI Umbrella Company” hadn’t issued a W2 to a single state worker waiting to file their tax return?
With absolutely no prediction of when they will?
What the hell is wrong with the McKee Administration?
Where is the leadership?
Not in Rhode Island. Here, our Governor bails in the face of political pressure and for election year gain.
That’s not leadership.
It’s cowardice.

Our AG team has been on scene for several hours now and with Pawtucket PD are investigating all aspects of this terrible crime.
It is important to get our facts right. We will ensure public understands the entirety of what happened very shortly.
My thoughts are with the victims & their loved ones.
So let’s not try to rewrite history in an election year.
RI has done too little, and moved too slowly, on this Governor’s watch.
Read more from our Office about the need to increase renewable incentives, not, as the Governor proposes, decrease them.
riag.ri.gov/media/7996/d...
True. But the Governor’s attempt to justify his retreat from our Act on Climate goals ignores what my Office has been telling him, and the public, for years: that the McKee administration made far too little investment and progress in meeting those goals when Biden was president. 1/2

The Tennessee Valley Authority powering that home? Oil? Natural gas?
We installed heat pumps last fall to run in place of oil boiler most of the time and our energy costs are considerably less, even in this very very cold winter.

These guys just can’t get of their own way.
Still waiting for our W2s from the McKee Umbrella Company.
🤨
Many Rhode Island Democratic politicians run away from environmental advocacy and protection.
Somevactually come out and say it for political expediency, like McKee, or just as bad, remain silent when he does.
I will never understand it.
It runs counter to everything we should stand for.
And I should add … the irrepressible Nancy Lavin!

Ok - we’re going to add in a sports commentary before the 8 am bell rings. Ok ….. maybe a little after.
Patriots left tackle Will Campbell did not have a good performance in them Super Bowl.
But he’s just 22 years old! Like all 22 year olds he has a lot still to learn and will get better!
before Judge Stern, incredibly arguing against my Office and ratepayers as we fought back.
We won. But it’s still the most outrageous thing I’ve ever seen.
Brilliant reporting from Nancy Lavin!
RIbEnergy and self-serving companies gas-light McKee.
And then he gaslights the public.
Where was Gov and his DPUC when RI Energy tried to steal 150 million from ratepayers three years ago? Standing with RI Energy 1/2

Well reported.
The notion that Dan McKee is going to “roll-back” his nonsensical and politically transparent election year energy “plan” is ridiculous.
We get to reliable, cheaper energy by encouraging heat pump and ev take-up. Not the other way around.

This is going to be a great event!Looking forward to seeing everyone!

No “ham sandwiches” for this DOJ.
What an embarrassment they are.
I have enormous respect for the career prosecutors fleeing the fools leading this fiasco of a DOJ

“Where there’s money to be made, there will inevitably be those willing to exploit an industry to maximize profit."
...and @peterfneronha.bsky.social for standing up for independent local pharmacies and Rhode Islander consumers. 2/2
“Independent pharmacies are beloved small businesses that provide vital, valuable support to their community. Unfortunately, they are an endangered species due to the practices of the giant pharmacy chains and the PBMs that partner with those chains." Thank you, Rep. @rebeccakislak.bsky.social...1/2
