WSJ: President Trump believed his Truth Social post demanding prosecutions of James Comey and other political foes was a private message to his attorney general, and "and was surprised to learn it was public."

Bari Weiss, the incoming editor in chief of CBS News, once auditioned for a role on the hit daytime television show "The View," but tested so poorly with audiences that she "wasn't invited back," according to a new report.

Governor Healey’s pick for state Superior Court judge works for her partner, Joanna Lydgate - The Boston Globe Gillian Feiner, who was recommended by Healey for an appointment to the high court on Wednesday, served as an assistant attorney general for 15 years.

Gov. Maura Healey previously appointed her ex to the #Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

Now she has appointed an employee of her current romantic partner to the Superior Court.

Gun found with suspect registered to New Bedford police officer - The New Bedford Light A police internal investigation is underway to determine how the firearm came into the possession of a suspect charged with drug and intoxication offenses.

“The New Bedford Police Department last week announced that it arrested a man and charged him with a firearm offense … What the Sept. 29 press release doesn’t state is that the firearm, a handgun, is registered to a New Bedford police officer.”

Thankfully, there's no possible way these laws could be misused!

State Rep. Steven Xiarhos spent decades as a cop on Cape Cod. And when he looks at the “street takeovers” that hit four communities across Massachusetts last weekend, he doesn’t mince words. “You need to respect police officers. They’re risking their lives for us 24/7,” Xiarhos, R-5th Barnstable, told MassLive as he left a memorial service for fallen officers at the State House on Wednesday. To make sure that happens, Xiarhos said he’s filing two bills to tackle the growing social media phenomenon that’s leading to some real-world consequences. The first would boost the penalty for assaulting a police officer from the current misdemeanor in most cases to a felony. The second is based on existing law in Florida. That statute, enacted in 2022, prohibits street takeovers and punishes spectators and participants alike.

As part of the latest moral panic about crime, a #Massachusetts state lawmaker is trying to increase the penalty for assaulting a cop and make it illegal just to *witness* a so-called "street takeover."

What is the point of not talking about racism in order to appease racists and attract them to your group? All that does is normalize their views.

They actually *should* be made to feel unwelcome, because the things they want to do are bad!

What is the point of talking to people with racist views if you're not supposed to talk about racism with them? What is that supposed to accomplish?

Judy Woodruff: For Lisa Inks and others, the key to not turning conservatives off is also the language being used that can signal a bridging group's political leanings, even if they're nonpartisan. Lisa Inks: There are words that will immediately close off conservatives to what we're doing and signal, I think incorrectly, that this is sort of a left-leaning organization. Judy Woodruff: Like what? Lisa Inks: When we talk about words like equity and racism, those are unproductive words when we're trying to get people across the political spectrum.

Still struggling to understand why Judy Woodruff had used her PBS senior correspondent status to constantly highlight these inane "why can't we all just get along?" groups that try to push for political unity by ignoring the substance of people's disagreements.

The essence of Bari Weiss: not reporting, but crude partisan propaganda presented in the form of reporting—and usually pronounced from the mouths of anonymous sources which likely don't exist. Expect this sort of prolefeed at CBS News soon.

But today, my actual PCP's office called and said they need me to call insurance to get it changed back or they'll have to cancel my upcoming appointment.

The person at the insurance company said my PCP isn't accepting new patients, so now I'm on hold while they verify that I'm an existing patient.

Today in health insurance companies love wasting everyone's time:

A while ago, I got a letter from my insurance company telling me they had changed my PCP to some random doctor in NH an hour and a half away (I'm in Mass and don't live on the border). I ignored it at the time.

lmao i'm not going to pay a monthly fee for a guitar tuning app get real

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

It sure seems like the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office is refusing to just accept that it lost this case and move on.

“Read’s legal team is sharply criticizing the prosecutor’s action, with attorney Steve Boozang labeling the request to search the phones ‘absurd’ and a ‘fishing expedition intended to punish and harass Ms. Read.’”

‘Absurd fishing expedition’: Karen Read’s lawyers demand return of phones in intimidation probe The investigation is being conducted by a special prosecutor who is working for the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office.

“Attorneys for #KarenRead have filed new court documents demanding the immediate return of her cell phones from a special prosecutor who is holding them as part of an ongoing witness intimidation investigation.”

Worcester mother, freed from ICE custody, hopes her children come home A Worcester mother’s teens ran away from state custody while she was detained by ICE. Now out, she’s hoping they return home.

The way ICE is tearing apart families and not giving a fuck about what happens to the children is appalling.

ICE doesn't serve any legitimate purpose and must be abolished.

WHITEHOUSE: What happened to the $50k in cash that the FBI paid to Tom Homan in a paper bag?

BONDI: The investigation of Mr Homan was subjected to a full review by the FBI. They found no credible evidence of any wrongdoing

W: That was not my Q

B: You're welcome to discuss this with Director Patel

1. Diddy wasn't actually convicted of any violent crimes, and it's not a judge's job to sentence people for things they weren't convicted of doing.

2. Four years is an incredibly long time to spend in prison. People need to stop downplaying what it means to be incarcerated for a year.

Notice her non-answer.

This is explosive. Should be explosive. The US AG who said she had the Epstein files on her desk cannot say whether or not the FBI has pix of Trump with half-naked women, which one witness who knew Epstein has said he has seen.

jesus, this must be so demoralizing

Stop the spread of creepy surveillance technologies with this one weird trick.

Remember, they aren't “smart glasses”—they are Pervert Glasses and should always be referred to as such.

In the next Batman movie, Two-Face's double-sided coin should be one of these.
