And the 2021, amended platform, wins!
13.09.2025 19:01 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0UPDATE: The 2021 platform has been brought before the assembled, and now we are making amendments. 
Words that illicit groans- "Can I add a friendly amendment?"
Meanwhile, the State Party has decided that the "replace the proposed platform with that of 2021" amendment was invalid and therefore cannot be subject to floor vote.

Sen. Markey's for speech at the Massachusetts Democratic convention was fire!
Political violence can not be tolerated,  not today,  not January 6th, not ever. 
The WH rhetoric created this,  fostered this,  incited this, and should be ashamed. 
Gun laws are not a violation of the 2nd amendment but a statement of values: stations of war have no place in Civil Society.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
Mayor Michelle Wu and challenger Josh Kraft will go head to head on the November ballot for Boston mayor.

The cost to mail them is actually higher than printing, and weโve got a lot of new voters and folks in hard-to-reach apartment buildings who deserve to hear from us.

BREAKING: The Oversight Committee has officially issued the Epstein Files subpoena we helped pass.
The subpoena is clear and airtight: the Trump DOJ must release the files by August 19.
As a survivor, I'll never stop fighting for healing, transparency, and accountability.
 
                
            Donald Trump doesn't want voters to hold him accountable in 2026 for his corruption.
So he's trying to rig Texas maps and dilute the votes of communities of colors and working families.
We can't let his scheme succeed in Texas โ or it'll spread to the entire country.

NPS' decision to restore and reinstall the statue of Confederate Albert Pike is indefensible. Pike served dishonorably, misappropriated funds, and was ultimately imprisoned by his fellow troops.

I'll reintroduce my bill to remove the statue.

We need policies that benefit working families, not just the 1%. 
NOW is the time to EXPAND health care, INVEST in public education and BUILD low-income and affordable housing.
As the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act approaches, we face a stark truth: its most powerful protections have been stripped away. 
The John Lewis VRAA is how we restore them, and we can protect the promise of democracy for all.

She was shot and killed while sleeping when officers fired into her home.
By seeking a one-day sentence for her murder, Trump's DOJ is sending a cruel and disrespectful message: that they don't value her life or that of her loved ones.
