AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

National Politics & Faith: Thousands packed the National Mall for “Rededicate 250,” a daylong, Trump-led prayer rally framed as a “One Nation under God” moment—complete with worship music, Scripture readings, and a lineup featuring top Republicans, while critics warned it leans into Christian nationalism. Markets & Inflation Watch: In Providence, investors are growing uneasy after bond yields jumped—pushing the 30-year Treasury above 5%—even as stocks stay buoyed by strong earnings and AI optimism. Cannabis Legal Risk: A sweeping 320-page class action, Murray v. Cresco, targets major cannabis operators’ marketing practices and explicitly compares the fight to “Big Tobacco,” raising new stakes for insurers. Rhode Island Health & Education: Salve Regina says its nursing students are landing local jobs with loan repayment help, and it’s launching a new tourism/hospitality bachelor’s degree. Weather & Community: Rhode Islanders got their first real taste of summer Sunday, drawing beach crowds despite chilly water.
