Jamie Dimon at GOP lunch Live updates and analysis from POLITICO’s Congress team.

Jamie Dimon and other big bank CEOs need to answer to Congress and the American people about how their banks may have enabled Jeffrey Epstein’s horrific crimes.

Instead of inviting Dimon to lunch, Senate Republicans should call a hearing immediately to get answers.

See you tonight at 6 pm at Union Church!

We’ll be talking about the election and the convention as well as hearing about some upcoming ballot initiative campaigns.

Can Massachusetts chart a path for the Democratic Party? Saturday’s convention highlighted the difficulty local and national Democratic party leaders have had in offering a vision that distinguishes their party from that of the Republicans.

Great write-up of this weekend’s convention

Boston city council President @ruthzee.bsky.social: tonight we showed the country Boston is NOT for sale!

People say Boston is a white city because they don’t know Boston is a city in a majority minority metro where the Taiwanese American mayor succeeds in part because she campaigns in Haitian Kreyòl

Mayor Michelle Wu opens her arms to hug her family on stage.

Mayor Wu speaks on stage next to an ASL interpreter with purple lights and signage around her.

Supporters stand together at the rally holding "Re-elect Michelle WU Mayor of Boston" signs.

A large "Wu!" logo is projected onto the windows of the Substation in Roslindale.

Thank you, Boston 🙏

LUCE Immigrant Justice Network of MA

ICE is increasing its presence in Massachusetts.

Here's a great resource to help keep communities safe:

STATEMENT ON DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE LAWSUIT AGAINST BOSTON This unconstitutional attack on our city is not a surprise. Boston is a thriving community, the economic and cultural hub of New England, and the safest major city in the country — but this administration is intent on attacking our community to advance their own authoritarian agenda. This is our City, and we will vigorously defend our laws and the constitutional rights of cities, which have been repeatedly upheld in courts across the country. We will not yield. MAYOR MICHELLE WU

We will not yield.

Today's a federal holiday because on the eve of the 20th century machinists, carpenters, and people who worked in mills, mines, and factories joined together to fight for better wages and a day to honor working people.

If you're enjoying the holiday today, thank the labor movement.

Happy Labor Day! Today, workers, electeds, and community members marched from the State House to City Hall in solidarity, choosing workers over billionaires, collective success over individual profit, and fairness over greed.

Grateful for the work of the labor movement and the benefits we enjoy!

Workers’ rights are human rights.

From fair contracts to safe schools to immigrant justice — nobody is free until everybody is free.

With Trump gutting unions & pitting workers against each other, I'm proud to stand in solidarity with our labor siblings in Boston & across the nation.

It was an honor to come together with doctors at Mass General Brigham today as they rallied for their right to collectively bargain. I am with you.

n time for July 4, Trump and congressional Republicans celebrated the passage of their policy wish list, a massive tax cut for the rich and large corporations combined with the biggest rollback of healthcare access in U.S. history, cuts to food assistance and public education, and escalated funding for ICE that puts it on par with the size of other countries’ militaries. It was the most regressive bill passed by Congress in decades. This all raises the question: How is Massachusetts going to do to respond? Here are some critical first steps. First, Massachusetts needs to better protect our essential services from federal cuts. The extreme cuts in health care access, food assistance, education, and other vital programs will hit the state budget hard. Massachusetts is an affluent state, with a GDP per capita that ranks in the top five states and a total GDP on par with Sweden’s (if only we had their welfare state…). Rather than making cuts that will fall on the backs of the most vulnerable, we should make sure that the most profitable corporations in our commonwealth are paying their fair share. That’s why we need to pass the Corporate Fair Share bill (H.3110 / S.2033), which would ensure that large multinational corporations like Amazon and Walmart pay more taxes on the profits they hide in offshore tax havens in places like Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. This bill would make a simple change in the tax code that would put us in line with the federal government and the state of New Hampshire (yes, New Hampshire) and bring in significant new revenue. Second, Massachusetts needs to better protect our immigrant communities, and that means not being complicit in Trump’s mass deportation agenda. Trump’s $45 billion infusion into ICE means that the administration will be looking for more people to work as immigration agents. Scaling up means that they will want states to offer existing personnel to do their dirty work. We must be clear that we won’t. The Safe Communities …
