Ummm so let me get this straight: Republicans have ground Congress to a halt and are considering adjourning the entire House for 6 weeks to avoid releasing the info they have on Epstein? What is going on here?

Community college is the key to economic mobility. That's why I created MassReconnect to give students 25+ another shot at a cost-free college degree. Two years in, enrollment is way up — and our students, businesses and economy are all benefitting.

Remember when Barack Obama wrote in his memoirs that his administration couldn't prosecute bankers because that would do violence to the social order? The culture of elite impunity infects both parties - and is at the root of almost every problem in this country.

Undocumented immigrants do the backbreaking work that keeps this country going: picking our food, working in meatpacking plants, providing child care for our kids, supporting our grandparents in nursing homes. We need comprehensive immigration reform, not mass deportations.

Speaker Johnson would rather cancel all votes & hearings than simply have a vote on bipartisan legislation demanding release of the Epstein files, something he, Trump & Bondi have been demanding for months! A pathetic new low in political cowardice & legislative malpractice.

The lesson for Democrats is that they should force confrontations, especially when they drive a wedge into the GOP base. thenation.com/article/politi…

Every time the President brings home promises that some country will buy more of our commodities — rice, soybeans, etc — he's been played. The same ships will leave the same ports with the same rice, but simply head to a different port.

As Bernie Sanders campaigns against “oligarchy,” the data shows half of wealth concentration in the U.S. over the past dozen or so years has benefited just 19 families. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

BREAKING: Concession workers at Fenway are on strike. This is the first walkout in the 113 year history of the Boston Red Sox’s stadium. These essential workers will be on strike as the World Series champion Dodgers come to town this weekend.

The Speaker is spewing blatant lies about his spending bill. He is lying to the American people, I suspect he is lying to his caucus, I guess he's even lying to himself. YES, the "One Big Beautiful Bill" cuts Medicaid significantly. Read it for yourself.

Since 2020, the Boston Red Sox owner (John Henry) more than doubled his wealth from $2.6 billion to $5.5 billion. He bought the Red Sox for $380 million. It's now worth $4.8 billion while Fenway's entry level workers make $7-$12 an hour less than comparable workers in Boston.
