Description

The U.S. national debt has hit a staggering $40 trillion—so huge, it would take a $65K-a-year saver over 600 million years to accumulate. Congress is now forced to make tough fiscal choices. Meanwhile, Democrats are zeroing in on Boston, Denver, or Philadelphia for their 2028 convention, seeking a city that can deliver big and embody the party’s spirit. Locally, a crash involving an e-bike in Johnston led to arrest, spotlighting new transportation challenges. The Newport Playhouse and Cabaret Restaurant, a beloved 43-year-old venue, prepares to shutter at year’s end. And early voting has kicked off across Rhode Island, giving voters more flexibility to cast their ballots before Election Day.
