NEW: Sen. Eric Schmitt exposed Jack Smith — as a Caitlin Clark fan. Schmitt's erroneous effort to catch Smith in a lie resulted in Smith confirming he went to see Clark's Iowa Hawkeyes play the Terrapins in Maryland in 2023. w/ Chris Marquette www.politico.com/live-updates...

Until corporate execs face potential CRIMINAL responsibility for these kind of intrusions, that they should be aware of by now, this will continue. The law needs to keep up - AI is/should be a legal “agent” of the corp which can bind the company and execs criminally www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/w...

Extraordinary statement. Sexual assault cases can really test a prosecutor’s office, and grand jury secrecy rules when no indictment is delivered make it especially complex The district attorney explained why he reopened the Cornell investigation. Read the document: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A good example and reminder: a public report after an investigation can change behavior and do the public good - even when no criminal charges are filed.

As the Democratic AG and Governor races heat up, it’s worth remembering our ILO investigation. Because it says something about all the candidates. Excellent primer here: www.wpri.com/target-12/ag...

'The public has a right to know': AG, state police explain outcome of ILO investigation
The probe showed Gov. Dan McKee steered a lucrative contract to a politically connected firm in 2021. No criminal charges were filed.

I enjoyed the AG debate the other night! 1. Keith Hoffmann demonstrated why I encouraged him to run and why I endorsed him after 7 years working together - and during which he consistently earned promotions. He has the breadth of experience needed - and the smarts - to lead the office. 🧵

Add to that the double digit increases RI Energy is seeking for the DISTRIBUTION side of your bill - and which we just spent 18 DAYS in hearings fighting before the PUC. It’s not the clean energy part of the bill that’s killing us. It’s RI Energy greed. Aided by McKee’s electoral desperation.

Let’s talk clean energy and Rhode Island Energy! The CEO tells GoLocal I’m “confused” when I call them a fossil fuel company. RIE is owned by PPL in Pennsylvania. PPL owns gas generating power plants and is building more. Gas is a fossil fuel. You are who you are owned by. Get it now?

As the AG primary approaches…. Here’s what the office has done to protect Rhode Islanders from the illegal overreach of the Trump administration. And there’s one candidate who’s ready to lead this work - because he’s done it. And that’s Keith Hoffmann.

Massachusetts is moving forward with EV infrastructure and more despite Trump headwinds - no excuses - to meet its Act on Climate goals. In RI, the McKee administration prevaricates, at best. Time for a change. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/05/b...

Great team that knows the law in this area inside and out! How strong is their work? In the last eight years, not one - not one - of their decisions has been disagreed with by a Rhode Island court. We take the APRA as the legislature has given it to us. And we interpret it. That’s it.

Victims of child sexual abuse are forever changed by the crimes committed against them. They deserve the chance to seek accountability, and the bill that the Senate will vote on can give them that chance.

Shocking! Come on, RI’ers already know this. What they’re waiting for is a plan to fix it. It’s pretty simple. Raise reimbursements - pay - for primary care docs. Eliminate 💯 of prior authorizations. Pay and treat them like the docs, that, eg, check your moles every year. It’s a start.

No kidding! An hour to commute to Providence because of a half hour on that bridge. What a waste. Finally common sense prevails. And perhaps, because each joint is the same presumably, rather than do them seriatum, they could do them all at the same time and finish faster? Arrgh!

Remember this story next time you hear Gov say he’s “on fire” about energy costs & “special interests” are preventing him from getting millions for ratepayers. When we went to court for ratepayers and won 3 years ago, the McKee admin argued AGAINST us. And against you. www.wpri.com/target-12/ag...

Further context as published in the “Prosecutors Tribune” “No evidence he operated car. Police found him & passenger in car in parking lot w/engine off. No observations of him driving car & no calls to police of any erratic operation & thus prosecutors could not prove that essential element of DUI”
