The #FCC is reviewing a proposal for space mirrors to blast sunlight at the earth at night.
Sounds awful.
Anyone who that been to the far north or tried to sleep under lights knows how disorienting 24h of light is.
Everybody gets insomnia.
It's also an ecological disaster machinery 1/
Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.
Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.
When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.
Trump calls his economy “the Golden Age.” And boy, is he right.
Trump’s economy is a golden age for billionaires and corporate CEOs—and pretty much nobody else.
Instead of taking Live Nation-Ticketmaster to trial, Trump just let them off the hook.
The federal government had been building a case for years, and could have broken up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly.
But Trump just let them settle out of court.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
A record number of workers are raiding their 401(k)s, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Take Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" for instance. Republicans provided $150 billion more for the military, while at the same time taking food away from literal children and kicking 10 million people off their health insurance.
That was a choice. They prioritized war at the expense of food and health.
Roxbury we would love for you to join us. Starting at Fenway High School and meandering up the hill to First Church Roxbury, join us with a traditional horse and cannon procession through the heart of Roxbury,featuring partners and residents,reenactors from across the northeast, and local musicians.
Enormous gratitude to our incredible @streets.boston.gov teams who hauled over a thousand truck loads of snow overnight. 💪
Welcome back, @bostonschools.boston.gov students! ❄️
Thank you to our snow management crews, bus drivers, school staff and BPS families who worked so hard to make sure our students could safely return to school yesterday morning.
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped keep our streets clear, accessible, and safe for everyone at the Love Your Block shoveling meetups yesterday. 🤍❄️
This is helpful to clarify! Boston has the same rules: City is responsible to clear near City properties, State does state (incl MBTA), & private owners responsible for sidewalks outside theirs. City workers (& seasonal contracts) clear our areas mostly with bobcats & snow blowers vs paid shoveling.
Yesterday was the 1st time the City has done large-scale daytime snow removal—holding the parking ban to give crews max space to work. Across daytime & overnight, we hauled away almost 1500 truckloads of snow (25,000+ cubic yds) to clear main roads & school zones. TY to our hardworking City teams 🙏
The sun is out, the air is crisp, and it’s time to do your part to help keep Boston safe and accessible.

A map of Boston showing a snapshot of where the snow plows are, according to their GPS trackers. Many green circles and triangles representing the vehicles dot the map.
We’re in the heart of the storm now until early afternoon—winds gusting 50+ mph & snowfall at 2+ in/hr. It’s impossible to keep roads clear under whiteout conditions, but we have 900+ plows & trucks out keeping roadways manageable until we can really clear once the snow slows. Stay in & stay safe!
Ending homelessness requires creating permanent supportive housing AND direct, constant, compassionate outreach every day & night. Thank you to all our outreach workers & community partners for all that you do 🙏
Getting more reports of downed wires & some power outages, especially in East Boston. If you see a downed wire &/or tree, do not touch anything! Call 311 & we will come out to take care of it.
