“I no longer can bear to be restrained by what judges can say publicly or do outside the courtroom. President Trump is using the law for partisan purposes, targeting his adversaries while sparing his friends and donors from investigation and prosecution” theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1…

The emergency SNAP fund exists to prevent hunger. Trump is refusing to release it. That’s not fiscal restraint—it’s moral bankruptcy. Children in Mississippi, Nevada, Massachusetts are starving because he won’t act.

Much appreciation to @RepAndyVargas , one of my favorite people on Beacon Hill and champion on ending hunger in MA. The #MakeHungerHistory effort from @projectbread legislative briefing had a fantastic turnout!
And I hope those cookies made it home, sir!

"The uproar is not surprising. The cost, however, is unacceptable," @franksesno says of Kimmel's suspension. "It's not just Jimmy Kimmel. It's a $15B lawsuit against The New York Times. It's a lawsuit against the Des Moines Register because we don't like a poll. It's settlements with George Stephanopoulos or 60 Minutes because we don't like the way you edit. I come back to Brendan Carr, the chair of the FCC, who said, and I quote, in 2022, 2023, 'Censorship is the authoritarian's dream.'"

President Biden is right.
Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech.
It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion.
That’s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship.

"Poll after poll shows this and report after report explains how sky-high home prices are bad for Massachusetts. The YIMBY bill moves us forward by enabling us to build the number and variety of homes we need to make housing more affordable across the Commonwealth." @jessekb

SPECIAL REPORT: A large swath of the U.S. currently does not have the basic, ground-level immunity necessary to stop the spread of viruses that had once receded into the past, a six-month NBC News investigation in collaboration with scientists at Stanford University finds. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

President Trump’s decision to end federal support for the Salem Offshore Wind Terminal, and other projects like it, has the potential to jeopardize thousands of jobs across this new industry, and will make it more difficult for states to lower energy costs for consumers.
This Labor Day, @GovKathyHochul, @GovNedLamont, @GovDanMcKee, @GovMurphy and I stand with the union workers powering our offshore wind industry.
We’re calling on the Trump Administration to keep these projects moving — for the good of our workers and Americans’ energy bills.

Example 678969: The USA has been dumping hundreds of millions of sterile flies out of airplanes onto Panama for the past 80 years. Specifially to keep a flesh eating parasites called the screwworm under control. These parasites can kill a full-size cow in less than 2 weeks. (Eating it alive) This practice has saved the US beef industry an estimated 900 million dollars over its history.
Yeah so Anyway... the parasites are headed our way again. 👍

Congrats to Bill Chisholm and his team on the closing of the Celtics transaction. Below is a statement from me reflecting on this important news.

You mean our map passed with bipartisan support and signed by a Republican Governor?
Massachusetts does it right.
Unlike you and Governor Abbott, we don’t let Donald Trump call the shots at the expense of our people and fair elections.
Current map of Massachusetts congressional districts.
They currently have 0 Republicans in Congress.
Nice grandstanding @MassGovernor

That’s a Lada. So unless you’re trying to Make Russia Great Again, try again
The One Big Beautiful bill will drive the return of the great American car.
🇺🇸🇺🇸
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The car pictured behind President Trump is a stock image of a Russian/Soviet made VAZ 2101, better known as the Lada 1200.
It is not an American made car.
