Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the @RIDemParty at our Build the Bench event with special guest @davidhogg111 last night. We appreciate David, an emerging new voice nationally, for coming up to RI.
The strong bench of emerging future leaders in Rhode Island’s Democratic Party makes our state’s future bright.

Trump is coming here to meet with Senate Republicans today about getting down to business.
And what’s a top priority for Republicans?
Will it be helping working people like Trump promised in the campaign? No.
Making health care more affordable? No.
Investing in American jobs? No.
They’re getting ready to reward the richest Americans and give more tax breaks to America’s biggest corporations.

Not a political decision. Even Richard Nixon was treated with respect to his service. Ordered by a Democrat in 1994 as per rule recorded in the Federal Register in 1954. @realDonaldTrump is truly a disrespectful disgrace. usatoday.com/story/news/poli…

To be clear, there was no pardon for any murderers, rapists or violent criminal. There was life without parole for 37 of 40 prisoners on death row. @realDonaldTrump is a liar, always was and forever will be.

Jimmy Carter pardoned his brother Billy Carter who took over $200,000 from Libya as its foreign agent.
George H.W. Bush pardoned his son Neil Bush for his role in the S&L scandals of the 1980s.
Nobody thinks those pardons defined either presidency.
Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden won't either.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Billy Carter was never charged with a crime for receiving money from Libya.
Jimmy Carter publicly disapproved of Billy's actions and never pardoned him.

We need Native-to-Native contact and friend-to-Native contact to move Native American votes in Montana. Call, text or email friends, ensure they voted or turned in absentee ballots, and provide or help find voters a ride from the rez to vote. #NativeAmerican #Vote #MTpol
Native American voters saved Tester before. They may fall short this time. ow.ly/BFLU105NXom

The Native American way has always been to allow everyone in our tribes and nations to speak and decide for ourselves. It is the oldest form of democracy in North America. Now we must be heard again. Stand together, and let us vote for our heritage, our loved ones and our future.

I often hear folks say, “Donald Trump sent me a check during the pandemic.”
I want to make sure you understand this: Congress sent you a check. By the way, Joe Biden also sent you a check during the pandemic, just like I gave people relief during the Great Recession. The difference is that we didn’t put our names on it – because it wasn’t about feeding our egos or advancing our politics, it was about helping people.
So don’t be giving him credit for that. And don’t give him your vote, either. There’s only one candidate in this election who cares about you, and that’s Kamala Harris.

Arnold Palmer's daughter said: "What would my dad think of Donald Trump today? I think he'd cringe." She was right, and @realDonaldTrump's lewd remarks are worse than an embarrassing low point for American dignity. He's not fit to occupy the Corner Office.

A grandmother with four granddaughters, Comstock said she “cannot have a rapist in the Oval Office,” <-- (tells it like it is) referring to a sexual abuse case brought against the former president, which he has repeatedly denied. <-- (lies like a rug).

Does GOP control of the U.S. Senate hinge on stopping Natives from voting in November?

Those who would be impacted are “the smallest slice of the very wealthy,” said Erica York, a senior economist and research director at the right-leaning Tax Foundation.

Tim Sheehy was asked 3 times about his despicable description of Native Americans. Each time he said a few insignificant words and started babbling about the border. Instead of addressing a Montana issue he runs to the border like a jackal looking for road kill. #mtpol #mtsen
LeftofCenter retweeted
Tester: The statement you made degrades Native Americans. You're a big guy, apologize.
Sheehy: Do you apologize for opening the border?
Tester: I didn't open the border. When we had a opportunity to fix the border, you said we want to play politics with this

We learned with genuine sadness of the passing of famed singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson. Cesar Chavez went backstage in the 1970s to thank Kris when he headlined fundraising concerts for the UFW.
They maintained a lifelong friendship, and Kris stayed active in our movement.
