Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.

It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

I will never ever ever understand how millions of Americans lived through four years of this madness and decided they wanted four more

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

Nobody wants this war except Netanyahu, and Trump didn’t even bother trying to explain it to the American people. They really think they’ll never be held accountable for their actions, and we have to prove them wrong.

I think ballot questions are really not the best way to make policy, but there’s a reason we’re gonna have so many on the ballot. There’s a reason the audit question passed overwhelmingly. People are deeply frustrated, and not just the advocates pointing this stuff out. The dam is gonna break here.

We just have to do better here. It’s not ok that bills are being rushed to avoid public review or criticism. It’s not ok to pit clean energy and energy efficiency against affordability. I expect this stuff from Texas Republicans, not Massachusetts Democrats. This shouldn’t be controversial to say.

Not the main point but Councilor Culpepper claims that the bus lane on Centre Street in West Roxbury was removed. 1) There is no bus lane there. It's a bike lane added after a vehicular lane reduction to enhance pedestrian safety; 2) it was not removed & overall is working fine for all street users.

This is so obviously the wrong approach but yet again here we are. Maddening.

Ramps and crosswalks cleared of snow!

I saw the @streets.boston.gov crews out with Bobcats clearing these ramps and crosswalks by Fallon Field yesterday. Much appreciated by those of us walking that way to the school bus stop! @wutrain.bsky.social @enriquepepen.bsky.social
