Former Rep. David Cicilline formed an unlikely alliance with Republican Ken Buck in a failed bid to break up big tech companies. Though he has since left Congress, Cicilline's distrust of the industry hasn't diminished. On POLITICO Tech, he reflects on what he and Buck started, and  the rising pressure on his former colleagues to curb tech's power.

He's leaving all of that behind this week to run the state's largest philanthropic organization, the Rhode Island Foundation. We chat about his last day in office, the debt-ceiling debate, and where he envisions taking the foundation in the years ahead. Tips and ideas?

Congressman David Cicilline's announcement to leave Washington next month has resulted in an increasingly crowded Democratic primary to fill his seat. Now, as he prepares to take the reigns at the state's largest fundraiser for the non-profit community, we sit down with the congressman to reflect on his biggest accomplishments representing Rhode Island in the nation's capitol.

In today's House Judiciary Committee markup of "The Border Security and Enforcement Act of 2023" (H.R. 2640)--a bill Mike co-authored--the Democrat opponents of the bill claimed he and his Republican colleagues are "anti-Christian" and "immoral" for trying to fix the profound humanitarian, national security, and economic catastrophe that the Biden Administration's policies have unleashed on our country.  Are the Democrats correct?  We are compelled to share again here the 4th epsiode of our show (originally aired on April 5, 2022), which explains exactly why all people of faith should support strong border security--and the simple way to correct the Left's claim that such a position is inconsistent with our Biblical mandates. The moment that Title 42 expires on May 11, 2023, America's strongest remaining tool to deter in any way the flow of illegal aliens will be gone, and the unmitigated disaster at our border will become exponentially worse. Mike and Kelly present here what every freedom-loving American urgently needs to know RIGHT NOW to thoughtfully address this topic.   SHOW NOTES: The Biblical Basis for Border Security (Mike Johnson post)    GOP's bill to stiffen border security clears Judiciary Committee (Washinton Times, 4/20/23) Mr. Johnson, who represents Louisiana, pointed out that he, not Mr. Cicilline, is an evangelical Christian. And he said Leviticus' charge is to individuals, not to the government. “You have to see to whom the order is given. That order is not given to civil authorities and the government. That order is given to individuals,” he said. “We do reach out to the sojourner, but it is not the job of the federal government to do it.” www.MikeandKellyJohnson.com   Produced by Strong Wave Media, LLC   © 2023 Mike and Kelly Johnson

In a surprise announcement, U.S. Rep. David Cicilline said he is stepping away from politics. Cicilline has represented Rhode Island in Congress for over a decade. During his time in office, he took on Big Tech and served as the House impeachment manager for former President Donald Trump's second impeachment trial. He is also openly gay and an advocate for LGBTQ rights. So with all that apparent success, why is Cicilline resigning? "There were a couple factors. One, he was offered a job as CEO of the Rhode Island Foundation, the big nonprofit funder here in Rhode Island. He's going to more than triple his salary to $650,000 compared what he made in Congress," WPRI politics and business editor Ted Nesi told Under the Radar. "And he acknowledged it was just less appealing to stay in Congress, in the U.S. House, as a Democrat who is now in the minority, with a Republican majority who has very little he agrees with them on. And if we're being honest, Cicilline tried and failed to get into senior leadership position when the House leaders were changing over." Nesi said Cicilline's resignation was a shock to "everyone in Rhode Island" given the fact he was only a couple months into his latest term. Cicilline officially steps down on June 1. The special election to replace him will likely happen in November, so there will be several months without Rhode Island's 1st District represented in the U.S. House. Also on Under the Radar's Regional News Roundtable, guests discussed the aging Bourne and Sagamore bridges. Tens of thousands of cars drive across the nearly 100-year-old bridges to Cape Cod each day. Though the bridges are in desperate need of repairs, the federal government has rejected multiple requests for funding — although President Joe Biden's latest budget proposal would include a "down payment." "These bridges apparently have not a great design, and they're very difficult and expensive to repair. And it's that cost of repair — year over year — which is really driving the conversation here that they just have to be replaced entirely," said Steve Junker, managing editor of news at CAI. "Right before the pandemic, they were talking about a price tag to replace both bridges of about $1 billion. And everybody thought 'Oh, that's a lot of money.' Now they're saying it could be as much as $4 billion." Arnesen said now is the time to think big about the bridge reconstruction. "What the 'H' are you building? Because it's not just about a bridge. Because you're talking about also a bridge to the future. And what we know about the future is climate change. What we know about the future is maybe the desire for more public transportation. ... It's not just about a bridge, everyone. It changes the whole course of life." And, lastly, Under the Radar guests discussed how a high school in New Hampshire is training students for the Granite state's burgeoning outdoor tourism industry.

Democrats defied expectations in the midterm election that ended Tuesday. In Rhode Island, Seth Magaziner shocked Republican Allan Fung by winning the open seat in the Second Congressional District, and as expected, Governor Dan McKee defeated GOP rival Ashley Kalus. Democrats pretty much ran the table in Rhode Island. But Republicans are expected to win control of the U.S. House, and that would mean big obstacles for President Biden's agenda in Congress. Both parties will fight for advantage in the run-up to the 2024 presidential race.

Dan and Ellen talk with David Cicilline, who represents the First District of Rhode Island in Congress. Cicilline, who is a Democrat, is part of a bipartisan group of US representatives and senators sponsoring the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act. Co-sponsors include Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota; Republican Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana; Republican congressman Ken Buck from Colorado; and Senate and House Judiciary Committee Chairs Dick Durbin , an Illinois Democrat, and Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat.  The JCPA removes legal obstacles to news organizations' ability to negotiate collectively and secure fair terms from gatekeeper platforms that use news content without paying for it. The legislation also allows news publishers to demand arbitration if they reach an impasse in those negotiations.  Ellen has a Quick Take on new research being done by the Institute for Nonprofit News. The INN just released 2022 fact sheets on three types of nonprofit newsrooms: local news, state and regional news, and national and global news. While each group shares some similarities, INN found that geography matters in terms of revenue models and audience development.  Dan takes a few more whacks at Gannett, because the stock is skidding, and newsrooms are being hit with unpaid furloughs, buyouts, and the threat of layoffs.

On Friday the Biden administration announced that the US would fully lift the arms embargo on Cyprus, a landmark decision that confirms the deepening of the strategic partnership between the two countries. This move follows the partial lifting of the embargo in 2020. It also comes after years of advocacy work on Capitol Hill, where Congressional leaders like Senators Menendez and Rubio, and Representatives Bilirakis, Cicilline, and Deutch played a key role in bringing an end to a policy that has not only failed to bring us any closer to ending the occupation of Cyprus, but has also undermined US interests in the Eastern Mediterranean. Endy Zemenides, HALC's Executive Director, joins Thanos Davelis to walk us through the major milestones that led to Friday's historic announcement, and provide a look ahead at what to expect as leaders gather in New York for the opening of the UN General Assembly.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here: Lifting of Defense Trade Restrictions on the Republic of Cyprus for Fiscal Year 2023US lifts decades-old arms embargo on Cyprus, move hailed as ‘milestone'Joint Statement on the Third U.S.-Turkey Strategic Mechanism DialogueUS and EU step up pressure on Turkey over Russia sanctionsWinter plan to lure Northern Europeans

Over the past two years, Rhode Island congressman David N. Cicilline has become an outspoken voice on some of the most critical issues facing the country and the Bay Area, including regulating and reining in big social media companies, reducing gun violence, and promoting economic development. As chair of the Congressional LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus, Rep. Cicilline is leading efforts to promote equality for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Thrust into the national spotlight during the second impeachment of President Trump, Cicilline is increasingly concerned about America's democracy and the threats to it from within the country and on Capitol Hill itself. He believes in an extensive response that spans both citizen opposition and potent political reforms, including an end to the Senate filibuster, discarding the Electoral College, expanding the Supreme Court, and requiring that justices adhere to a code of ethics. He outlines some of these thoughts in his new book, House on Fire: Fighting for Democracy in the Age of Political Arson. In it, Cicilline spares no one from criticism as he argues for a politics that produces results and warns that without it, America could slip into being a country we no longer recognize.  Please join us to hear a rising force in Democratic politics on fighting for what matters.

David Cicilline is one half of Rhode Island's two-member delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives, and while he may have been sent to D.C. by a small state, his contributions to the impeachments of Donald J. Trump were huge. Cicilline discusses his new book, House On Fire: Fighting for Democracy in the Age of Political Arson, and about growing up as the son of a criminal defense attorney who occasionally represented the mob, (and did so very well), and how his father's work shaped his sense of justice.
