One narrative not getting enough attention following Tuesday’s primary in MA: The state’s Black & Latino Legislative Caucus will likely grow from 26 to 30 members in January—the largest membership in its 53-year history.

Yet another reason both parties should be paying attention to the evolving Latino vote. At least anecdotally, religion still seems to play a meaningful role in shaping the political views of many Latinos in MA. Or maybe that’s changing. Love to see more data on this. www.axios.com/2026/08/02/s...

Young Latinos abandoning churches to be religious "nones"

The exodus among Catholics has meant that legacy parishes, schools and congregations are struggling to survive in the Sun Belt.

Some 27% of Americans approve of Trump's attack on Iran, while 43% disapprove and 29% are not sure, per new poll by @reuters.com and @ipsosus.bsky.social. More than half think Trump uses too much military force, including a quarter of Republicans. www.reuters.com/world/us/jus...

My father — a proud Boricua — loved Puerto Rico with all his heart. He’s no longer with us, but I felt him during that performance. Watching my sons dance in the living room, I saw the generational story Bad Bunny told come alive right in front of me. Overwhelmed with joy rn.🇧🇷🇵🇷🇺🇸

The Kraft Group is still only offering $750,000 in mitigation for their new stadium. That's an unserious proposal and just one and a half months of a billionaire’s son’s allowance.
