- Yess!!! Congrats to the best new bar in America!
- Parks are the living rooms of our neighborhoods. Today, I joined the groundbreaking for the new riverfront greenway along Kinsley Ave. and Promenade St. in Providence. I’ll keep working to bring home funding for projects just like this.
- ICE has no businesses keeping a database of American citizens who have committed no crimes. But that is exactly what is happening.
