In addition to today's piece about Councilor Flynn's disturbing actions last week, New England Ledger — a media source that I first learned of just yesterday — has published an audit of Mass Daily News, with conclusions draw from actual data. www.newenglandledger.com/mass-daily-n...

Our members voted, and we're proud to endorse Lee Meyer for the 19th Suffolk. #mapoli

A mother gave the government her fingerprints, tax records, and DNA to get her 6-year-old daughter back. She did everything officials asked. ICE used that information to find and arrest her. A child welfare system became a deportation tool. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Happy #Caturday 😼

Four service members died recently. Only one was a white man. Guess which one he’s talking about

BREAKING: The Senate just confirmed Trump loyalist Benjamin Flowers to the 6th Circuit, marking the 50th lifetime confirmation of Trump's second term. Flowers' record is appalling and should have been disqualifying, but now — at 39 years old — he'll serve for decades on a powerful appellate court.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

A report on the ground from the ICE shooting in Biddeford that should make every parent in this country lose their minds:

Pretty wild stuff here folks

It’s so rare these days for the parties to come together to do anything at all in Congress. The housing bill won’t fix everything, but it represents a step forward for Americans. And Trump is refusing to sign till he gets his voter suppression bill. (1/4) www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Private equity companies are buying up hospitals, driving them into the ground, and selling them for parts. I have a bill to hold them accountable.

Elon Musk sees a future where AI replaces HALF of all jobs. If he’s right, our country’s wealth could get sucked up by a handful of billionaires while workers get left behind. We need to tax AI so Americans share in its growth—and Big Tech pays for the disruption it causes.

Here's your reminder of what that moment was:

It's time to ban members of Congress from lobbying for life. I have a new bipartisan bill to get it done.

There seems to be some difference of opinion among MAGA lowlives.

The House cleared Ayanna Pressley's discharge petition to extend Haitian TPS. Now it's our turn in the Senate to get this passed.

In April, the master developer of 23-acre Seaport Square converted a quarter-acre blob of natural grass to synthetic grass. The entire park on Harbor Way is now plastic grass, swapped in without one public meeting. Below, how the developer presented the park during permitting.

Some more pics of Baby Nimi ❤️🥹

Our new baby Neemia 😻 She’s only two months old. 🥺 #Cats #CatsofBluesky #ScottishFold

Why the fuck aren’t we making this guy testify under oath.

JD Vance PR team really getting their moneys worth from American papers. Blatant propaganda.

Just a reminder—as we’re all reacting to the First Lady’s statement on the Epstein files yesterday. This guy is still serving in the administration.

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Iran and Pakistan, which brokered the 11th-hour truce, both asserted that the ceasefire included Lebanon. Israeli forces unleashed their heaviest attack of the war so far on more than 100 targets and killing at least 254 people. | US-Israel war on Iran | The Guardian

Well said. Though after glancing at this person's profile, it doesn't appear they routinely travel to DC, either. Just another netizen whose bark is worse than their bite. It's unfortunately very common. The whole "do as I say not as I do" plague.

Georgia Voter: It's giving war crime. You can't do that. We don't just annihilate people because we can and, you know, make a grab for the money and the oil. And that's what we've done in Venezuela. And that's what we're doing in Iran.

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

Here are the stories of some of the human beings who died horrific deaths from preventable disease because Trump and Musk and their flunkies decided to murder them by gleefully destroying USAID and the entire global aid system:

Lebanon is 33% Christian. Israel is illegally invading Lebanon & bombing Christian villages. Moreover, Israel has warned Lebanese Christians & Druze to forbid any Muslim from hiding in their homes & Israeli troops are now hunting for Muslims hiding in attics of Christians. These Are War Crimes.

Just a few days ago, America saw the biggest public political demonstration in the nation's history. 8 million people across the country. Virtually no violence, no incidents of any kind. An absolutely remarkable phenomenon. I'm reminding you because the media's forgotten already.

"Private equity firms should not get a free pass to loot workers’ 401(k) retirement savings."

San Diego rents dropped 5.6% for 1-bedroom homes, while listings rose 15%. Proof that supply works. Yet, at $2,200 median, affordability remains out of reach for many. That's why we need to build more and faster. www.kpbs.org/news/economy...

Breaking News: House Republicans rejected a Senate deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security as a government shutdown crippled airport travel.

Pay attention to Lebanon. Trump and Netanyahu started a regional war in the Middle East, creating a humanitarian disaster. And now, the Israeli army has killed over 1,000 people in Lebanon—about 20% of them are kids. Congress should not bankroll this escalating war of choice.

A reminder that we don’t need billionaires to pay charity, we need them to pay their damn taxes. Billionaire philanthropy is PR to disguise their tax evasion. Don’t fall for it. Tax billionaires. Save our democracy. Period.
