The Kraft super PAC's listed address is a 4-bedroom single family home that's a 5-minute drive from Gillette Stadium 🤷♂️
Part of a pattern: The super PAC's Facebook/Instagram ad hitting Wu on housing uses stock photo of homeless person in United Kingdom, per image search ⤵️

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.
So, a single parent of a 7-year-old is subject to work requirements to qualify for SNAP. But a *married* parent of a 7-year old can stay home to care for their child, if their spouse works.

Bruni is right that D’s don’t need “perfectly chosen emissaries and a perfectly honed script” 2 prevail vs Trump. They just need to be direct & stop blaming other Ds 2/3
