Trump just said the quiet part out loud:
He doesn’t “give a damn” about higher gas prices, as long as his billionaire friends are making a fortune.
Trump doesn’t tell the truth very often, but he did last night!

Doubt @SenSusanCollins would ever wear cool @GoIUPAT swag like @TroyJackson207 does, because he doesn’t forget where he comes from!!
U.S. Senate candidate @TroyJackson (D-ME) on Trump administration plan to monitor midterm election: "We don't need people coming from Washington to make it harder or scare people off from voting. To me, that's what it is."

I think this election is going to reflect a massive backlash against maga but imagine what Democrats could achieve if they were running nationwide on a transformative economic agenda.

The average family that heats their home with oil is going to pay $1500 more this winter because of Donald Trump’s insane Iran War.
Some people will go cold. Some may die. This isn’t hyperbole. This is the consequence of having a president who just doesn’t care about you.

Congratulations to our brother IUPAT Scott Duhamel on being named the 2026 Big Brothers Big Sisters Rhode Island’s @GSTMFSabitoni Award for Natural Mentoring. The partnership between @LIUNA & @GoIUPAT goes beyond just the job site, building a lasting impact in our community!

This was like his 3rd glitch during the speech where he just randomly stops mid-sentence and makes a weird noise or, in this case, just opens his mouth and freezes for 3 seconds while saying nothing, then continues. Pretty sad that TV networks refuse to cover this situation.

The job’s not done, neighbors! ✨
Lt. Gov Sabina Matos and I are working toward an affordability agenda that puts Providence’s working families first and we need you to make a plan to vote this election: early voting at City Hall is open now through Monday, November 2nd, or vote on Election Day: Tuesday, November 3rd.
Together, we can build a Providence and a Rhode Island for all 🦋

There are many different ways to build union power – one of them is voting!
With worker champions in office, our union has collective bargaining rights, worker safety laws, access to Project Labor Agreements, and so much more. But those worker champions need to be elected by us!
On Tuesday, November 3rd, get out and vote for your union’s endorsed candidates.

The problem wasn’t that the Titanic didn’t turn around fast enough.
Its incompetent captain ran it straight into an iceberg.
