July 22, 2026, 5:01 a.m. ET Narragansett Patrol Officer Alyssa Cloutier is not the type to try to grab the spotlight. “I've always been that person that's behind the scenes,” Cloutier said. “So even when I was in school, if it was theater, I was like, ‘I'll be behind the curtain. I'll be your setup person.’ I don't want to be the star of the show. That's how it's always been for me.” These days, however, Cloutier’s behind-the-scenes work has put her in the spotlight. When Cloutier is not patrolling the streets of Narragansett, she is posting on the police department’s social media. Most public service announcements are dry and humorless. Not so Cloutier’s. “As temperatures warm up, please remember to drink lots of water and stay indoors between 10 a.m. and November 1,” she wrote on July 3. “If you are planning on doing crime, please do it outside our jurisdiction.” That post got over 17,800 likes. “The apocalypse has terrible writers,” she wrote on another occasion.  » Read More

A new Super PAC that appears to be aligned with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has emerged ahead of the state primary, where two Wu-backed challengers are vying to expel the two senators Wu blames for killing her tax bill. Boston Leads Independent Expenditure Political Action Committee was formally organized Thursday with the state Office of Campaign and Political Finance, and quickly drew a rebuke from state Sen. Nick Collins, a South Boston Democrat who has been in the mayor’s crosshairs since his late 2024 move to block her signature tax shift legislation. “Senator Collins is focused on the people of the First Suffolk District,” his campaign spokesperson Vanessa Woo said Friday in a statement to the Herald. “That work doesn’t change because a SuperPAC funded by hidden donors has organized to attack and distort his record. Voters know Nick, know his record, and know he shows up. “Instead of hiding behind negative SuperPACs, his opponent should join him in calling for the passage of the property tax relief he moved through the Senate for working Bostonians,” Woo added.  » Read More
