As Mr. Krabs says.... MONEY

Perhaps congressional district 1 can elect someone less embarrassing? Anyone ever watch his congressional testimonies? Cringeworthy, especially when they say gentlemen from Rhode Island.

Perfect time for the “we don’t do that here” Black Panther/Wakanda meme.

Me. Saved you a click.

OP posted this on more than one state’s sub, and each one has at least one recommendation that is the absolute worst. You get the prize for RI.

It's a real shame to lose both our senior congressman in such a short period of time.

Maybe he just got this offer

Bye 🤡

Someone get David Segal on the phone

His full announcement

Does Fung have one more loss in him?

Byeeeeeeeee

Left the city of Providence in poor financial shape when he was mayor and lied about it. He was just another corrupted Democrat politician from Rhode Island

I love riding RIPTA! You will find that there are so many great places in this state that you can get to using transit. In addition to the urban core of Providence/Pawtucket/CF, the entire East Bay & Newport are fully accessible via transit as well as much of the West Bay.

A great RIPTA "hack" is that you do not need to go to Kennedy Plaza to transfer buses. Most transfers downtown can be done at the Train Station, the East Side Tunnel, or the Pedestrian Bridge. I used to not mind being in KP, but in the past few years it is constantly filthy, with lots of cigarette smoke, people fighting...just all around unpleasant to be in. Riding RIPTA is more pleasant if you can avoid spending time in that area.

We are hearing that CF Mayor Rivera is in discussions with family and colleagues exploring a potential campaign as well. This was only a preliminary list of people who have expressed interest in running for Congress in the past. Not a list of viable candidates who would "do a good job."

I hope that helps!

Really frustrating how few women are on this list - just Helena Buonanno Folkes and Nellie Gorbea on the D side. Would love to have representation, or at the very least candidates, that more accurately reflects the makeup of the state (similar criticism could be made for race/ethnicity of the potential candidates, not just gender).

>Fung would get trounced

i think he might be into that

We all could throw those tokens like ninjas into the bridge machine by the time they stopped making them.

Wait…. You are going to leave the island and go to the mainland? That’s too far.

It feels like this was a “move up or move out” moment for him. He was being vaguely groomed for house leadership, but didn’t make it in with the reshuffling that came with Pelosi’s exit as leader. He probably doesn’t see an upward path in the house at this point, and doesn’t want to spend the next twenty years as a rack and fine member. That’s my read at least.

Yep, Harvard's endowment is $53B.

All right PVD People, let's convince Smiley to run. CD 1 will love him and we can try again on this whole mayor thing.

I mean, a half million dollar a year raise is nothing to sneeze at.
