To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Who has standing to claim a 1st Amendment violation? The advertiser? How about the network? What about Major League Baseball?

It's why prosecutions should be based on (factual) probable cause and not on (fabricated) retaliation.

Someone please ask Trump what his opinion of “total factor productivity” is, please. (Yes, we know he's not competent to answer. That's why PAX Board Members have introduced a Brookline Town Meeting Resolution focused on Trump's mental capacity.)

The serious reasons for wearing silly costumes to protests Making an impression on the streets is an art

Ridiculous outfits give the authorities lose-lose problems. Collaring an inflatable animal—or pepper-spraying the costume’s air-vent, as a cop did in Portland—seems heavy-handed. But restraint can look like a concession

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

FDR on the White House:

We are sadly in one of those times.

In just a few weeks, Brookline Town Meeting will take up the question of Trump's mental capacity to do his job.

Let them eat cake. #TrumpSucks

As the government shutdown drags on, Trump is using his leverage to shape it - The Boston Globe President Trump and his top budget official, Russell Vought, are using their authority to inflict or spare pain where they deem appropriate.

"We are closing up Democrat programs that we disagree with, and they’re never going to open again.”

No, these are not Democratic or Republican programs—these are life-saving resources that help families make ends meet.

This is illegal & everyone will be harmed.

What flag makes you feel safer in a neighborhood?

I’ll start. 🏳️‍🌈 🙋🏻

Being in a union shifts the workplace culture. Unions empower workers to know their rights.

AFSCME members like Eliana Holgate know how important it is to have a strong, unified voice with her coworkers.

That’s the union difference.

Three Brookline PAX Board Members have petitioned a Warrant Article, and, accordingly, Town Meeting will be debating a Resolution questioning Trump's mental capacity to "discharge the powers and duties of his office."

That's PAX Board Member Jonathan Margolis with his upside down flag indicating America in distress.

That's PAX Board Member John Bassett!!!

First Amendment

Keep miller and trump at bay

"Narcissism of a pathological degree."

In November, Brookline Town Meeting will consider a Resolution on the subject of Trump's mental capacity, sponsored by Brookline PAX Board Members.

WNBA popularity is getting a boost in Brookline, with a Warrant Article sponsored by a PAX Board Member to encourage a local franchise. Last night, the Town's Advisory Committee recommended "Favorable Action" on the Article, which will come to Town Meeting in November.

S&P and Nasdaq Slump as Stocks Fall on Trump China Tariff Threat The S&P 500 slumped more than 2 percent for the first time in six months, rattling investors after a long stretch of gains.

The stock market slumped to its worst one-day showing since tariffs roiled markets in April, as President Trump threatened to impose more tariffs on Chinese imports.

White House claims "more than 1,000%" rise in assaults on ICE agents, data says otherwise Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers claim assaults on their officers are up sharply since June. There's no public evidence that number is true.

AFL-CIO: America’s Unions Take Trump to Court Over Illegal Firing of Federal Workers. AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler issued the following statement after the Trump administration illegally fired federal workers after shutting down the government to avoid fixing the health care crisis: “Donald Trump shut down the government, choosing to lock workers out of their jobs instead of doing his. As millions of workers miss paychecks and Americans open letters saying their health care costs are skyrocketing, the Trump administration is creating even more pain and chaos by moving to illegally fire thousands of federal workers today. We won’t stand for this administration using hardworking Americans as pawns in a political game. “America's unions will see him in court.”

We won't stand for this administration using hardworking Americans as pawns in a political game.

America’s unions will see you in court, President Trump. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Screenshot of headline reading: Trump administration begins ‘substantial' federal worker layoffs amid shutdown Affected agencies include the departments of Homeland Security, Education, Energy and Health and Human Services, among others.

Trump is using working people as political pawns—but a public servant trying to pay their mortgage or for their kids’ medicine is not a game. Republicans can reopen the government and solve the health care crisis of their own making with one vote.
