Having a good weekend

And let me be clear: The CEOs who tried and failed to oust Wu are wrong about the economics, as usual. Having a safe, fair, climate-resilient city is always *good for business*

Boston Mayor’s Blowout Victory Jilts CEOs Seeking New Direction Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is coasting to reelection after her main opponent quit the race, giving her a commanding mandate that’s putting city business leaders on edge.

Don't sleep on Michelle Wu, one of this country's most quietly effective climate leaders, cruising to a second term in Boston. It's telling that business interests tried and failed to stop her and are pouting about it now

Can Progressive Mayors Redeem the Democratic Party? Zohran Mamdani isn’t the only candidate challenging the status quo—and having fun doing it.

It's not just Mamdani. Michelle Wu, Katie Wilson--the Dems may soon have a remarkable cast of young, gifted mayors

Boston is and will be the best place to build a business, because we are making Boston the best place for families of every culture and every generation.

A HUGE win here for the team itself, supporters of the project, BPS student-athletes, fans of the sport, and Mayor Michelle Wu

Robert Kraft speaking on stage with Josh Kraft 2025 Democrat for Mayor signs

Bringing a billionaire Trump supporter onto your campaign the day after ICE says they will flood Boston is a choice.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu:

“Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”

Josh Kraft has yet to disclose his 2024 tax return — in fact, he's filing late In May, the Kraft campaign said it would release his tax returns “in the near future.” But now the campaign says the candidate had asked the IRS for a six-month filing extension.

Donald Trump has proven that politicians today can get away with ignoring basic transparency & avoid accountability on personal financial interests, conflicts & entanglements. I’ve been disclosing financials since before Trump & still believe in good government. Here’s why it matters in this race:🧵

Screenshot of State House News Q&A with Josh Kraft: Q: Why are you choosing to run as a Democrat? What does being a Democrat mean to you? A: I think the history of Democrats, especially -- (A Kraft aide sitting in on the interview interjects: "You are a Democrat.") Well, no, I'm a Democrat. But running as a Democrat means to me, the history — there's a part of the party that's, I think it's called the Blue Dog Dems now, but that's sort of been lost. And a lot of folks [say], "Oh, the Democratic Party has lost its way," you know, whatever. I believe firmly in that traditional Democrat pathway, not only about supporting people, working people, but also being open to listening to every side and understanding how to get things done by partnering and listening to others that might disagree with you, which was always a hallmark — whether it was Tip O'Neill, Ted Kennedy reaching across the aisle.

“Democrat for Mayor” plastered everywhere & this is what it means to him 🤔

Huge for Dorchester! Made my weekend 22 mile bike ride from Dorchester, up to Castle Island and back down through Dorchester to Mattapan Sq and back possible. Shoutout to the harbor walk and neponset trail—making biking feel safe on (beautiful coastal and tree-lined) bike paths!

18,000+ students in 5th quarter learning programs across 250 sites (more than ever before), 10,000+ paid youth summer jobs, AND free summer meals to stay healthy, active & learning all summer long ☀️

President Trump’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill is an attack on the people of Boston. The President and his supporters in Congress are jamming a bill through that will steal health insurance and food assistance from thousands of Boston families while giving massive tax cuts to billionaires.

Got my sign today!! Boston is soooooo lucky to have @wutrain.bsky.social as mayor!

Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!! Thank you for running an inspiring campaign focused on making real change for working people & families.

And huge props to @bradlander.bsky.social for being a true leader, fighter & coalition-builder 🙌

Come join our team!!

To the Boston Celtics, thank you

Today I launched our campaign for re-election—because Boston families deserve a Mayor who fights for them.

Here in Boston, we stand up. We fight. We win. And we show the world that when we work together, anything is possible.

Boston does not need a mayor who needs to recuse himself for conflicts of interest.

Boston is not for sale."

Mayor Wu: “In a City of sports champions, this is a historic victory…Together, after so many years of broken promises, we will give our young people and all our residents the scale of investment and opportunity that Franklin Park and our City deserve.”

In addition to normal mayor stuff, like announcing how many potholes have been filled, how many apartments made affordable, Wu's State of the City speech is a rebuke of Washington.
