Another challenger for Michelle Wu? Developer Thomas O’Brien considering jump into mayoral race. - The Boston Globe O’Brien has been quietly weighing for months whether to get into the race, according to people with whom he has discussed the matter.

At least this guy would know the difference between a Boston skyline and a NYC skyline. Me, I’m sticking with the horse I ride in on!

Time to load up on the bleach I suppose…

Poor Josh Kraft. Better plan on sending a boat load of daddy’s cash to the flak factory and try and wash this stink off.

As a former Philadelphian, I can only hope that Eagles fans give Trump the same reception they gave Santa Claus in 68’ at Franklin Field.

Thankfully, that and 50 cents will get you a cup of coffee

Boston needs a leader who is ready for the challenges ahead. I am proud to support @wutrain.bsky.social for reelection.

Exclusive | Democratic Senator Says He Will Stall Trump Nominees Until USAID Is Back The move would require Senate Majority Leader John Thune to use precious floor time to advance the president’s nominees through the confirmation process.

I had instituted a self imposed moratorium on giving to the Democrats since they muffed the election in November. I may reconsider for this guy…

Trump is so predictable:

Step 1 — Create artificial crisis.

Step 2 — Make phone call.

Step 3 — Announce end of crisis.

Step 4 — Declare victory.

White House says Canada has 'misunderstood' tariff order as a trade war, Mexico is 'serious' The White House said on Monday it has noticed that Mexico is "serious" about President Donald Trump's executive order on tariffs, but Canada has "misunderstood" it to be a trade war between the neighboring countries.

Make no mistake. The Trump Administration game plan is to create chaos and a climate of crisis and then obfuscate, confuse and, ultimately back off and claim credit for solving a non problem. More to come.

Trump Administration Closes USAID Headquarters The U.S. Agency for International Development closed its headquarters to agency personnel following moves by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to eliminate it.

What a brilliant move! Gut an agency responsible for enhancing security and economic stability in Central & South America as well as Mexico while pretending to care about a manufactured “border problem”

Our office alongside State Rep. Bill MacGregor flagged concerns to the City Streets Team on Allandale speed humps and are grateful for the quick response. @universalhub.com

Not since Charles Lindbergh has a major public figure in America attempted to legitimize Nazis, their principals and their vile history.

Congressman pushes amendment to allow Trump a 3rd term — but not Obama, Clinton or Bush A congressman is pushing for a law change that would allow President Trump to run for a third term — but would prevent other living presidents from returning to the White House.

…and perhaps we should not dismiss this wing-nut Andy Ogles congressman from the great state of Tennessee out of hand. Trump’s envy of what Viktor Orban of Hungary has done to curtail democracy fits hand in glove with this kind of crap talk

Trump’s Assault on Trans Rights Has Begun. Here’s What to Watch For. An early executive order shows the White House wants to get into the business of defining sex and gender. That could play out in a few ways.

Everyday it just seems to get worse with this guy. A callus bully who goes after those he perceives as weak. He thrives on anger and division. He surrounds himself with head bobbing greedy sycophants intent on destroying the Constitution for their own personal gain

An attack on a basic right clearly and definitively spelled out in the US Constitution is an attack on all of us. Not just immigrants. Should Trump be allowed to prevail, how long before we see an attempt to rewrite the 22nd Amendment? Stephen Miller probably has a draft ready to go.

Helpful!

Ever have that terrible, sinking feeling?
