Wish I could have attended the ribbon cutting for the Gewirz Trail at Spruce Acres Farm today. The staff and volunteers at @AquidneckLand have done a tremendous job protecting the Island’s natural resources. #AquidneckIsland

@RIPTA_RI ’s Downtown Transit Connector will be a win-win for Rhode Islanders who live or work in #Providence. Connecting neighborhoods and providing workers, students and shoppers with easy access to downtown lays the groundwork for economic growth and job creation in #RI pic.twitter.com/F4yYJ6sYtP

Oil CEOs like to claim they support a carbon price; then they send lobbyists and political henchmen to kill it. Same deal in Congress: relentless #fossilfuel opposition to any serious #climateaction. eenews.net/stories/106009…

This @nytimes editorial about the gutting of the Clean Power Plan is spot on. We cannot afford to reverse progress made on #climatechange. nyti.ms/2P1yIaz

I may be reading too much into this terse and nondescript document, but very big things moving sometimes leave only small surface ripples.

It is not unheard-of for a “substantial assistance” motion to be filed after sentencing, but it’s rare. The #Flynn plea is in; the sentencing memos are presumably complete; the question of “substantial assistance” — cooperation — is the logical reason for postponement.

Was there a third important court event, on top of #Manafort and #Cohen verdicts? Prosecutors and Flynn lawyers agreed to postpone #Flynn’s sentencing; sentencing is the usual day of reckoning for cooperation. pic.twitter.com/JjnVoneUEY

There is virtually no transparency into the #darkmoney forces now campaigning for #Kavanaugh's confirmation. After all this, he has a long way to convince me that unions, consumers, injured workers, vulnerable communities, or victims of pollution will get fair treatment from him.

He also could not commit to upholding the lawful use of subpoenas against the @WhiteHouse/ the president, as affirmed in United States v. Nixon. #RhodeIslanders who have watched the #Trump admin’s attacks on women & the rule of law would take little solace in Kavanaugh’s answers.

#Kavanaugh could not give me assurances he would uphold statutory protections that prevent Americans with preexisting conditions from losing their health care. #WhatsAtStake

We're a long way from the @senjudiciary having real answers on at least three important questions about #Trump enterprises’ dealings w Russia & the administration’s assertions of executive privilege. Questions that go to the heart of our Committee’s oversight responsibilities. pic.twitter.com/InOehWWSAk

Service members & their families depend on streaming services to stay in touch on long deployments — but the @FCC is bowing to special interests and bots. I wonder who’s behind the bots? Our troops deserve a free & open internet. #VetsForTheNet #NetNeutrality

Kavanaugh hearing must be immediately postponed so Judiciary Committee can continue vital investigation of Trump campaign criminality & obstruction of justice.
