I will never forget when Gina Raimondo called upon the national guard to protect the WARWICK MALL from clearly fake Facebook rumors of vigilante violence during the summer of 2020. I still talk about it to this day every time I drive by. Completely absurd.

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

Just a reminder…the guy nominated to lead the counterterrorism center is a Proud Boy. Asking @whitehouse.senate.gov and @reed.senate.gov to work with their colleagues to not even consider this person and deny a motion to proceed.
