It’s quite something that we have a president who is relieved he’s turned the national conversation to an illegal war he started that’s costing American lives and to which he has no rational explanation for its necessity.

When scrutiny tightens, a new spectacle appears. “Operation Epstein Diversion” isn’t about justice; it’s about narrative control — flood the feed, blur the facts, fracture attention. Democracies erode when scandal becomes strategy and distraction substitutes for truth.

Our taxes are paying for this instead of healthcare.

⚠️ TPS for Haitians is still under threat. A federal judge blocked the termination, but the appeal is underway—and we need action now.

Discharge Petition 15 has 161 of 218 signatures. We need 57 more.

📞 Call these Reps TODAY and urge them to sign. #ProtectTPS 🇭🇹

Editorial— Do the right thing, Archbishop Henning - Dorchester Reporter The Archbishop of Boston says a Dedham pastor's controversial Nativity scene is violating "church norms," even though past displays didn't prompt a rebuke. What's changed?

Editorial— The Archbishop of Boston should be standing up for his flock and calling-out the abuses of the Trump regime, not scolding one of his pastors for a Nativity display.

Houses are expensive because billionaires gobble up homes and fix the rent or turn them into Airbnbs. The billionaires want you to think immigrants are buying up all the property.

Hey @mbta.com WHY is the Red Line crawling into JFK? If I ever make it to DTX & switch to the Orange line, I might get motion sickness from the transition to such high speeds.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

The deal to end the shutdown would pave the way for senators to sue over phone searches.

Because the provision is retroactive to 2022, it would appear to make eligible the eight lawmakers whose phone records were subpoenaed by investigators for Mr. Smith...

I’m trying to help some teens rehome their dad’s dogs after he was deported. It’s brutal, but they can’t afford to care for 2 dogs.

Dear @kaine.senate.gov Resign.

Don't vote and then resign - RESIGN NOW.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Should be pretty clear that without House commitment on a vote on ACA extensions, it is purely symbolic as part of the Senate deal

I’m voting no on the continuing resolution that would double healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans, kick 15 million people off Medicaid & allow 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily every year.

All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.

There's a phrase in Spanish, "Con salud, lo hay todo; sin salud, no hay nada." It means "With good health you have it all; without your health, you have nothing." It's with that in mind that I stand firm in my decision to vote NO on the CR. I cannot in good faith vote for a show vote that does nothing to guarantee that 24 million Americans get the health care they deserve.
