These all sound like excellent ideas.

Mamdani is trying to prevent New York’s power grid from failing, you idiot. 78° by choice is a lot better than 100° without electricity.

Donald Trump is working for billionaires, not the American people.

New York is, and always will be, a union town.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “What I can say after visiting numerous impoverished villages is that aid cuts are unquestionably costing the lives of many children,” our columnist, Nicholas Kristof, writes about the demolition of USAID.

It’s hard to imagine the @celticsnba.bsky.social without Jaylen Brown. Thank you, Jaylen, for everything you gave to Massachusetts — on the court, in our communities and for the next generation of young people who look up to you. You’ll always have a home in Boston.

At 250, America should be old enough to remember what it is made of, and who made it.

I'm standing with the @uaw.org child care workers at Square One who are on strike in Springfield, MA. All parties need to negotiate in good faith so that workers get fair wages and Square One can continue supporting kids and families.

There’s no end in sight to Trump’s illegal war on Iran, but Republicans are focused on pushing $70 billion more in ICE funding across the finish line.

I sat down with members of @sbworkersunited.bsky.social to talk about their fight for a fair contract. We need to put baristas over billionaires and workers over wealth.

Countries where it’s illegal to criticize the president • China • Russia • North Korea • the United States

I would NOT be here if it were not for miscarriage management. I was fortunate that these draconic laws were not in place. I was fortunate that I had a ER doctor & an amazing nurse who cared for me and admitted me to the hospital. I am fortunate to be alive. Every female DESERVES care.

DOGE wasn't fixing Social Security—they were making it harder to get your hard-earned benefits. We created the Social Security War Room to fight back.

If you work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to buy a home here in Massachusetts. We’re opening the door a little wider — making more families than ever before eligible for $25,000 in zero-interest help for first-time homebuyers.

SCOTUS has sunk to the lowest level ever. I NEVER thought I would see this day again. Shame, Shame, SHAME. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Today we grieve. Tomorrow we fight like hell. #gerrymandering #votingrights #nopartisanmaps

While the Trump Administration sees voting as a threat, Minnesota knows voting is a source of empowerment and pride. We will continue to lead the fight to protect every American’s right to an equal voice in elections. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The American people don’t want Trump and his wealthy allies to decide what we watch.

In 1998, a court decided that a woman's denim jeans meant she must have consented to being raped. This horrifying ruling inspired Denim Day, a day for sexual violence awareness and solidarity with survivors.

So are we going to see the No Kings marchers rapid response organize against the VRA act ruling this weekend or….?

Today’s SCOTUS ruling is a betrayal of our basic democratic values as a country—turning back the clock on hard-won civil rights victories. This isn’t just about Louisiana; this will have nationwide impacts on Congressional districting and voter representation for generations.

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment has added a new question to test for early signs of mental impairment.

Supreme Court Strikes Down Louisiana Map and Destroys Key Voting Rights Act Provision www.naacpldf.org/press-releas...

Thousands of young people are alive today thanks to the 988 suicide hotline for LGBTQ+ youth. Last year, Trump shut it down. But we fought back, and forced Trump to reverse course. This is a good step, but we still have a long way to go to make every kid in America feel safe.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling guts the Voting Rights Act and turns back the clock on the foundational promise of equality and fairness in our election systems.

Time and time again, SCOTUS’ conservative supermajority has ruled on the side of the wealthy and powerful over American voters. From Citizens United to today’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, the Roberts Court will be remembered as one of the most destructive in our nation’s history.

Today's SCOTUS ruling doesn't uphold the law, it destroys it. The ultra-right-wing, captured Supreme Court has sacrificed Black and Brown votes to gift Republicans more seats in Congress that they're incapable of winning at the polls. This is a huge blow to our democracy and to racial justice.

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.

Our fight does not end here.

Trump promised to lower costs on day one. On day 464: An illegal war with Iran is costing $1BILLION a day Families are squeezed by rising grocery and housing costs Gas prices hit a new high @warren.senate.gov: “People are stretching themselves to the brink just to pay their bills.”

42 Democrats just joined 192 Republicans to reauthorize FISA Section 702 – a warrantless surveillance law that's been used to access Americans' data. Democratic leadership did not whip their members, enabling them to vote with Republicans and give Trump the surveillance powers.

Proud of all our amazing state employees who ran the Boston Marathon. You’re the best of Massachusetts — on the job and on the course 💙💛

Republicans continue to fail the American people over and over. Their budget bill will not lower Americans’ costs. Instead, they’re CHOOSING to give $70 billion to an out-of-control ICE that puts Americans in danger.

In a legal filing, prosecutors outlined for the first time how they say the singer D4vd murdered and dismembered Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust. We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

In 1968, scientists briefed the American Petroleum Institute on the potential impacts of CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels. Their report projected that atmospheric CO₂ could reach 400ppm by 2000, causing “serious world-wide environmental changes.” Last year, Earth’s CO₂ levels surpassed 430 ppm. 😑
