Splendidly done, Mr. Minority Leader, you have caught the president in another inconsistency AND showing reckless disregard for procedure!

It’s how eerily similar it all has been that gets me. We have a horrible legacy media and a toxic new media landscape.

AOC: “The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.

“He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.

“It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Post from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that reads: Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law and will be treated as such.

Circling back on this…

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

IRS nears deal with ICE to share addresses of suspected undocumented immigrants - The Boston Globe Under the agreement, Immigration and Customs Enforcement could submit names and addresses of suspected undocumented immigrants to the IRS to cross-reference with confidential taxpayer databases.

What’s astounding to me is I’ve never seen Schumer seek so much media as in the last couple of days. So it’s not that he doesn’t know how to get out there, he’s just not interested when it’s about fighting for you. When it’s about defending his own ass he sure knows how to grab the mic.

Thank you to all of the activists, advocates, friends, and neighbors who came out to Boston City Hall today to rally for our immigrant communities during today’s House Oversight Committee hearing.

I am deeply grateful for each and every one of you and look forward to being back home with you soon.

In a week where President Reagan is being presented as some kind of standard bearer AND Trump edges closer to issuing an EO purporting to close the Education Dept (which he is NOT empowered to do), let me once again remind folks of where Trump’s people got the idea. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

The people of Boston are sick of having people outside of Boston telling us what we need.

Yes, and I would argue that this applies on both a federal level and a state level.

There will be lots of battlefronts in the fight to save democracy, but Mayor Wu's performance before Congress this morning confirms my belief that cities are the front lines.

Today Boston said it loud and said it clear: immigrants are welcome here!

So many community members came together with my Counci colleagues & colleagues in government to lock arms with our immigrant communities & reaffirm exactly who we are.

Immigrants make this city, & this country, great.

@mayorwu.boston.gov came to Washington to defend Boston, tell an accurate story of our vibrant and diverse city, and affirm that immigration is essential to our city's success.

She did not just meet the moment—she exceeded it.

I'll vote for whoever in 2028 shows the most contempt for people like David Axelrod and James Carville. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Brazil Charges Bolsonaro With Attempting a Coup (Gift Article) Brazil’s attorney general charged the former president Jair Bolsonaro with trying to overturn the 2022 elections.

How completely jealous am I of Brazil right now

Why close these particular schools? BPS posted a mountain of data — but the decisions still don’t make sense

Excellent analysis on what's happening at the Dever school in particular goes against their own logic in decision making.

Mass. House moves to cap emergency shelter stays, limit system to 4,000 families - The Boston Globe House Democratic leaders are seeking to dramatically cap the number of families the system can hold, and for how long, at a time when thousands migrant and homeless families have relied on the system ...

Mass. saw a 67% increase in homelessness last year, 2/3 of which are families. What is the response of our Democratic trifecta government? Kick our immigrants, limit it severely. They're "fixing" something, but it's not homelessness. #mapoli #Bospoli

There are literally not enough journalists employed in the US to cover the bad shit that is happening right now. We are now going to experience the social consequences of a weakened news industry--which are the same as the benefits of a weakened news industry, to those who weakened it.

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve
