While the political season has most of everyone's attention, I'm more focused on the life and death drama happening in my postage stamp sized backyard.

On the way to another great show @ProvPacRI last night and followed the sound of drums to find this incredible Christmas village on Westminster. So great to see families out having fun in downtown Providence in the evening! We stopped for live music and hot cider!

The experiment continues: I have now blocked over 5,000 Twitter/X advertisers. I still get multiple ads daily, mostly now odd, one-off consumer items and financial/bitcoin influencers. X also recently added another step to blocking so it now takes 4 steps to block instead of 3.

My family tried to see the Independent Man last Saturday afternoon, but the doors were locked. Why isn't the State House open on Saturdays for visitors? So, we saw him through the window; He's big!
If you love potatoes, then you should discover these from Maplewood Farm in Portsmouth. These are the most delicious golden buttery potatoes I've ever had in my life! Available at Clements in Portsmouth.
Nearly 500 of the World's top Ethics, Open Gov, Lobbying, and Elections officials gathered in Kansas City to share knowledge and strategies. This amazing group from Guam spent 24 hours go get there, and meeting with them is always a highlight for me! #cogel2023 #cogelinfo
Continuing my #COGEL2023 tradition of sneaking off on the last night of a conference to find an open mic night. Tonight at the Rino in Kansas City.

I spent five great and memorable years inside this small office. Learned a ton, saw so much and covered some of the most interesting court cases a journalist could ever hope to report on. The end of an era.

Hi COGEL friends! We premiered a new CLC Explains video on the need for a code of ethics for the Supreme Court. Hope you'll check it out and share! xitter.cf/CampaignLegal/status/1…
The #SupremeCourt has been in the news a lot lately, and each new revelation erodes trust in one of the most important institutions in our democracy.
What can be done? For starters, #SCOTUS needs a code of ethics. CLC's Danielle Caputo has more.
