Earlier today, @RepMSDawson hosted students from St. Mary Academy - Bay View at the State House. The students participated in a mock legislative session, led by Rep. Dawson, where they debated several bills and learned about how laws are made.

@HackingButLegal @thedailybeast Indeed. Also the behavior of a tyrant, despot, and oppressor.

@RepMSDawson @thedailybeast It is quite dictatorial, though.

President Donald Trump has spent Sunday calling for the death penalty for reporters covering his war in Iran in a negative manner. trib.al/kcunzUK

@AlexTran677026 He deserved an Oscar nomination for Miracle. Too much greatness to pick one, but I’d vote for escape from New York, Overboard or The Strongest Man In The World.

What is Your Favorite KURT RUSSELL Movie 🤔

@AlexTran677026 Many good movies. Edge of Tomorrow stands out. The cameo in Tropic Thunder is epic. He was also great on South Park, although that probably doesn’t count.

Tom Cruise has said that 𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐒𝐤𝐲 (𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟏) is the best film he’s ever made. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ As David Aames, he starts as a charming playboy, but after a terrible accident leaves his face disfigured, his life begins to fall apart. The confidence and charm he once had are replaced by fear and insecurity. Even with masks or prosthetics, he shows the character’s inner struggle, letting us feel his pain and confusion. It’s Tom Cruise at his most real and vulnerable, keeping the star image while showing a man falling apart before your eyes.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ What’s Tom Cruise’s best film?⁣⁣

@gervaisclips Quantum of Smugness

@SethWickersham @DVNJr Every person who didn’t vote for Bill Belichick should be banned from the NFL Hall of Fame committee immediately.

A stunner from @DVNJr and me: Bill Belichick is not a first ballot Hall of Famer. He didn't get elected this year. The 8-time champion failed to get 40 out of the 50 votes required for induction. espn.com/nfl/story?id=4…

@barstoolsports Six Super Bowls. Nine appearances. Two decades of sustained dominance in the most parity-driven league on earth—and Polian still can’t bring himself to acknowledge it without grinding an axe.

Report: Bill Polian Sabotaged Bill Belichick's Hall of Fame Candidacy in the Pettiest Act of Vindictiveness in Human History s.barstool.link/c/article-3561…

This is heartbreaking.

@TaylorTwellman I have the same issue with the carts. Someday I’m going to lose it.

@domthepatsfan 4. By a mile

WE ALL WE GOT WE ALL WE NEED This is the greatest hype video of all time Andre Tippett, Randy Moss, Jaylen Brown, Julian Edelman, David Andrews, Tedy Bruschi, Gronk, Devin McCourty, Kofi Kingston, Jayson Tatum. HOLY HYPE LETS GO PATRIOTS

@RepMSDawson has been appointed as the second vice chair of the House Judiciary Committee by Speaker Joe Shekarchi. “The Judiciary Committee is one of the most important committees at the State House because it deals with serious legal issues that affect Rhode Islanders every single day. Whether we are talking about protecting residents from crime, unfair business practices, or outdated laws that negatively impact communities, this committee and its decisions help and support every Rhode Island resident. It’s an honor to be appointed to this position and I thank Speaker Shekarchi and my colleagues in the House for having faith in me to help lead this committee that touches so many lives,” said Rep. Dawson. More details: rilegislature.gov/pressrelease/_…

@SenWhitehouse Well said.

The real reason Trump is anti-wind:

@Milajoy Good for her, she’s doing well. Sometimes in life shit happens you can’t let it to define you. 👍

What's the first thing you think of when you see Monica Lewinsky?

@mariashriver @davidaxelrod Very sorry for your loss

I return to this space today to pay tribute to my sweet, beloved Tatiana, who left this earth today. I return to this space to pay tribute and honor her loving and supportive family, who came together and did everything they possibly could do to help her. I return to this space heartbroken because Tatiana loved life. She loved her life, and she fought like hell to try to save it. I cannot make sense of this. I cannot make any sense of it at all. None. Zero. Tatiana was a great journalist, and she used her words to educate others about the earth and how to save it. She created a beautiful life with her extraordinary husband George, and children Eddie and Josie. She fought like a warrior. She was valiant, strong, courageous. My heart has always been with my cousin Caroline ever since we were little kids. My entire being is with her now. What a rock she has been. What a source of love she has been with Ed, Rose, Rory, Jack, George, Eddie, Josie, and all of Tatiana’s cousins and friends and the amazing doctors who tried so hard. A few weeks ago, Tatiana wrote so beautifully about her diagnosis and her battle with this horrendous disease. If you haven’t read her words, please honor her by doing so (the article is linked below). Her piece is extraordinary. Whatever your faith, please pray for Tatiana and her grieving family. Tatiana was the light, the humor, the joy. She was smart, wicked smart, as they say, and sassy. She was fun, funny loving, caring, a perfect daughter, sister, mother, cousin, niece, friend, all of it… Those of us left behind will make sure Eddie and Josie know what a beautiful, courageous spirit their mother was and will always be. She takes after her extraordinary mother, Caroline. May we all hold Tatiana’s family in our collective embrace not just today, but in the days ahead, and may each of you who read this know how lucky you are to be alive right now. Please pause and honor your life. It truly is such a gift. ♥️

@Rate_the_Refs Insane. Clean hit. Dick Butkas is rolling over in his grave.

Seahawks called for unnecessary roughness for this hit

@RepMSDawson stopped by a Veterans Cafe held in East Providence today. @RI_VETS and @MealsRI host Veterans Cafes once a month across the state and are a FREE social dining experience for veterans and their loved ones. Local community partners also attend, so veterans can make one-on-one connections, access on-the-spot claims, and file for benefits over a nutritious meal.

@purenature_1 @hwinkler4real Beautiful picture. 😃
