Glad that those of us who have continued to note this to him are being heard.
Evan Greer@evangreer.bsky.social · 9h agoMuch respect to @markey.senate.gov for continuing to lift up the significant concerns with KOSA raised by LGBTQ+ youth and human rights groups. This is what leadership looks like when it would have been easier to stay quiet on a controversial vote www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...
Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Just sent this to my BIL to trigger "The Rant" about the MA Courts antiquated computer systems. Bonus, he's at his parents' house this week so we don't have to hear it although my niece may figure it out I was fucking around and send me a shit ton of eyeroll emojis. 🤣

now that Michigan is sorted, can we please call in some cavalry and make the hell sure that Seth Moulton does not, by some nightmare, win this primary
Alex Bradley@alexbradley.bsky.social · 16h agoSeth Moulton is so desperate for power he threw together a fake Epstein attack to slander Ed Markey. The good people of @wgbh.org tore it apart. #mapoli
Wait… who is making this political? David Ellison, you need a new crisis management team. You are doing untold irreparable harm to the Paramount Brand.
"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."
”Despite the conspiracy theories, the likeliest reason to conceal McConnell’s condition is more pathetic than calculating: It’s hard for these powerful old men and their families to let go of power.“
Mitch McConnell is never coming back to the Senate
The likeliest reason for the Kentucky senator's ruse is also the most pathetic

Our national student loan debt is in the trillions. I know navigating loans can feel hopeless, but my office has your back. Recently, a government worker noticed that payments were missing from her PSLF tracker. The feds wouldn't help, so we stepped in and got her full $131,108 balance forgiven.
NEW: Israel has imprisoned an American teen. Soldiers raided Adam's West Bank home right before his sister’s grad party. They ignored his US passport. As they took him, they blew kisses at his mom. Adam is now the second American in Israeli prison. Trump just hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

No amateur sports program is worth sexually abusing children to prove their gender

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 16h agoBreaking news: A federal judge took the final step in allowing the Trump administration to terminate temporary protected status for 350,000 Haitians, meaning many are likely to lose their jobs and be at risk of deportation.
still insane that a president of the united states filed a suit like this against a foreign public broadcaster

Corey Lewandowski had no official role at DHS. But he personally signed government contracts anyway. Then he lied about it under oath. This is the culture Trump has created: Get close to power. Use it. Cash in.
RFK Jr: "I'm announcing that HHS has begun the decertification of Network for Hope, the organ procurement organization."

Congressman Moulton voted for Trump and Hegseth's $1 trillion defense budget. Now, their illegal war is risking innocent lives and driving up costs for working families across Massachusetts. We must cut off funding now.
Trump was found civilly liable of sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in 2023.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 19h agoMax Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."
The U.S. Attorney believes that a "public rebuke" and an internal review are sufficient for egregious prosecutorial misconduct that put my family through hell. My seven-year-old is still having nightmares and panic attacks related to this case. Justice requires transparency and accountability.

what’s hilarious about this is trump has fostered such a xenophobic culture that his own voters wouldn’t back his pick with the scary name lol

Trump’s OSHA is rolling back rules that mandate rest breaks and access to water and shade to protect workers from extreme heat on the job. Remember: Trump doesn’t care about workers. He never has and never will.
