Since Trump returned to the WH, the VA is losing therapists faster than it can hire them.

We ask our troops to risk everything for this country. The least we can do is ensure they have access to the care they have earned. They deserve better.

When the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s tariffs, they made it clear that power belongs to Congress.

I'm joining 18 fellow governors calling on Congress to block Trump’s illegal tariff taxes. Our small businesses and families can't afford more uncertainty or higher costs.

The DOJ's settlement with Live Nation and Ticketmaster is a weak capitulation from the Trump Administration to yet another powerful monopoly.

To be clear: my office is not settling. We'll keep fighting for our lawsuit in court to protect fairness for fans, artists, and venues.

Dan Shaughnessy nails it: "Stay strong, Foxborough. Don’t give in until you have the cash in hand. No promises. No commitment letters pledging that the funds are on the way; $7.8 million is chump change to FIFA and the Krafts. It’s approaching 10 percent of Foxborough’s annual budget."

Thinking of those who marched across this bridge 61 years ago today. May their courage continue to inspire us as we still journey toward justice.

Talarico defeats Crockett in Texas Senate Democratic primary He took a big-tent approach to his campaign by appealing to voters from both parties and independents.

James Talarico won his nomination. Now, it gets harder.

β€œA perfect storm is lining up for Texas Democrats,” said one former Texas media operative.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Please attend if you can. There's a lot to talk about beyond what I covered in the First Look, and I'd love to hear what's on people's minds about the outcomes and how we analyzed it. Tuesday at 3:30 ET.

And appreciate a share of this post!

Tell Your Senators: Vote NO on Voter Suppression | Indivisible

Ways to get civically engaged instead of watching That Man lie on national television for an hour:

1️⃣ Check in on your neighbors and help them with shoveling
2️⃣ Contact your Senators and ask them to oppose the SAVE Act
3️⃣ Tune into @moveon.org and @meidastouch.com's People’s State of the Union

The overhaul of White Stadium is set to cost $325 million. How does the price compare to other soccer venues? - The Boston Globe In Boston, costs have jumped more than 60 percent from an initial projection of $200 million.

The White Stadium project's total cost now dwarfs that of similar soccer stadium projects around the country by tens of millions of dollars, if not more. @bostonglobe.com

The extent to which Justice Kavanaugh has become the most reliable third vote for the Trump administration says quite a lot about both him and the other three candidates.

As the cost of living rises, every dollar of assistance must go to the families who need it, not in bad actors' pockets.

My office is prosecuting a former nonprofit director in Lowell for embezzling over $280k in rental aid. I will always hold anyone who exploits vulnerable residents accountable.

Newly released documents detail ICE plans for warehouse facility in Merrimack, N.H. - The Boston Globe The acting ICE director said federal officials previously told Governor Ayotte about the economic impacts of controversial facility. Ayotte said the director’s comments were β€œsimply not true.”

Shooting people in the street. Ripping parents from children. Americans stopped, detained and killed.

Now, ICE wants to build a new 400-bed facility in New Hampshire?

Governor Ayotte should be doing everything in her power to block this. Enough is enough.
