Who could have imagined that firing live artillery rounds over the planet's second busiest roadway might be a bad idea

The words "indiscriminate murder" come to mind.

I’m at the Sagamore Bridge to call out Donald Trump’s threats to illegally withhold federal funding to replace the Cape Cod Bridges. We will not back down.

The policies and open hateful rhetoric are harming our children. They deserve better. It doesn’t have to be this way. It shouldn’t be this way.

He really is a murderer. Though he had caused a lot of deaths before this - as in COVID-19. Also, he probably killed his 3 casino execs in that suspicious helicopter crash, and his ex-wife.

No Kings Day message to Trump: Other than your coterie of ass-kissers, nobody likes you.

Thanks to the quick work by the judge here to stop this out of control White House.

I’m headed up to Duluth to cut the ribbon on one of the largest infrastructure projects ever completed in Minnesota.

Previously known as the “can of worms,” the Twin Ports Interchange is now safer, less congested, and more efficient.

Pope Leo Calls for Unity on Climate at a Divided Moment
The pope invoked his predecessor, Francis, for whom the environment was a core issue, but stopped short of criticizing world leaders dismissive of climate change.

Regardless of their faith, all people can agree: Protecting the gift of this planet is a sacred duty we must not take lightly or let divide us. Stewardship of our planet is a universal doctrine.

Massachusetts health coverage on the line in government shutdown fight

It’s simple: Trump and MAGA Republicans shut down the government to cut your health care. Democrats are fighting to protect your health care and lower costs.

Suggested Out of Office Reply
CHCO Alert
To SBA Distribution List
SBA Colleagues,
6:35 AM
Below you will find the suggested Out of Office Reply for your Outlook Email:
I am out of office for the foreseeable future because Senate Democrats voted to block a clean federal funding bill (H.R. 5371), Leading to a government shutdown that is preventing the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) from serving America's 36 million small busi-nesses. Every day that Senate Democrats continue oppose a clean funding bill, they are stopping an estimated 320 small businesses from accessing $170 million in SBA-guaranteed funding.
As a result of the shutdown, we wanted to notify you that many of our services supporting small businesses are currently unavailable. The Agency is executing its Lapse Plan and as soon as the shutdown is over, we are prepared to immediately return to the record-breaking services we are providing under the leadership of the Trump Administration.
Follow these steps to set up your out of office messages in Outlook:

Suggesting that civil servants engage in political activity is unacceptable. SBA employees serve America’s small businesses. Trump’s attempts to turn them into his personal lobbyists are potentially illegal and a slap in the face to small businesses that depend on SBA resources.

On Yom Kippur, a sacred day of reflection and atonement, hate-fueled violence took two lives in Manchester, England.

We must confront antisemitism wherever it appears. No family, no community, no house of worship should ever fear for their safety.

Trump ‘Determined’ the U.S. Is Now in a War With Drug Cartels, Congress Is Told

Trump ‘Determined’ the U.S. Is Now in a War With Drug Cartels, Congress Is Told

Trump’s actions are illegal, unconstitutional, and dangerous. He is leading us willy-nilly into war with Venezuela. I have “determined” that this is a terrible idea.

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it.

But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

They pretend not to see it. They change the subject when they are confronted with it.

And that's why they are responsible for the fact that we have a deeply mentally ill president, surrounded by other deeply unwell people.

Unfit for Office Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

"Trump is having 'episodes of what would be called outright lunacy, if they occurred in any other setting,' and … if he 'were in virtually any other position of responsibility, action would already be under way to remove him from that role.'"

"One clinical psychologist [said] he considers Trump such a 'classic' pathological narcissist that he is actually 'archiving video clips of him to use in workshops because there’s no better example' of the characteristics of the disorder he displays."
