When it comes to supporting families, we’re starting at the very beginning by investing more in early education and childcare than ever before. And this is just the beginning. So grateful to have Elizabeth Warren as a partner fighting for our families & our future!

US military preparing for National Guard activation in Washington D.C., officials say The U.S. military is preparing for the activation of hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., two U.S. officials told Reuters on Sunday.

A reminder that local Boston politicians were parroting this same tactic just a week ago. Same playbook and same rhetoric 🧐 www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Screenshot of a post from Josh Kraft on X.com that says: Mayor Wu is so disconnected from the challenges facing the families and kids I’ve served in the Boys and Girls Clubs for the past 35 yrs she thinks it’s ok to spend $10K for an entourage to travel to DC on top of $650K in taxpayer money for prep. Marie Antoinette would be proud.

I was proud to stand up for our city in DC & able to do so effectively bc of the hardworking team who made the trip. Don’t have a private jet to transport everyone, but that also means there are no Qs about whether my family & I are profiting off Trump’s mass deportation policies.

Please keep reminding everyone about the time the Mayor of Boston stood up for our city against the most vicious monsters in Congress and beat them all to hell.

This is not about “a single policy disagreement.” As Councilor, I’d call BMRB for feedback & insights, as City officials had for decades. Their thorough, apolitical, data-driven analysis saw the City through some of our toughest challenges. Today’s BMRB is unrecognizable against that legacy.

For decades in Boston, BMRB was a trusted source of municipal finance & policy expertise. Today they behave as a political action committee to lower corporate taxes.

I declined the annual invite to present advanced insights on Boston’s budget at a $325/person lunch to fundraise for this cause.

Cost and compatibility questions remain for White Stadium proposal - The Boston Globe Would park land in any other part of Boston be given up so readily to privatization?

I’m getting annoyed with people and politicians using my community as a crutch for their weak arguments. We deserve nice things too.

Anyway, as a son of this community, I’m excited to roll up my sleeves and ensure we see every benefit from this exciting project.

Putting aside that @boston.gov committed to fleet electrification in 2019, some facts:

City gets $7,500 tax credit* per EV here. On top of $10K fuel/maintenance savings over the lifespan.

The EVs replaced old/unusable gas cars with mostly comparable cost, eg Chevy Tahoe $56K+ sticker price today.

Editorial: Mayor Wu delivers on White Stadium deal | Dorchester Reporter No big city mayor is ever going to make everyone happy all of the time. In fact, if they’re doing the job right, a chunk of the electorate is going to find beef over something, even if they embrace ot...
