Seth Moulton has a backwards looking political agenda. I support Medicare for all. Seth Moulton doesn't. I support trans kids. Seth Moulton doesn't. This is about the future.

Ed Markey speaks about the rights of transgender kids: We should have been embracing them. Instead, what Congressman Moulton did, is he threw them under the bus.

The big issue here is that Seth Moulton didn't get invited into these private equity deals because he was Mr. Moneybags. Seth's access was a gift in exchange for votes and favors. It paid off.

It’s important to appreciate that none of these funding rounds needed Moulton’s money. Rather, they were opportunities to let him in on a sweet deal. In the case of Oura, the 2021 funding round raised $100 million. According to his disclosures, Moulton put in between $100,001 and $250,000. In the case of webAI, the “seed round” in 2023 raised $17 million. Moulton put in between $30,002 and $100,000. In both cases, he contributed well under 1 percent of the total.

Seth Moulton was given the chance to make several private equity investments that were not available to everyday investors with defense tech companies he helps oversee on the House Armed Services Committee. They are now worth millions of dollars. Bob Kuttner reports: prospect.org/2026/08/03/s...

This is why I call Seth Moulton’s position on trans girls in sports radical and extreme. It would change decade-old laws. It is a horrific invasion of privacy. And it tells girls that politicians have a right to their bodies. In Congress, I will stand for the privacy and dignity of all children.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Senator Ed Markey and Representative Ayanna Pressley released a report that proposes dedicating tens of billions in federal grants over five years to help eliminate transit fares nationwide.

Pointing to Massachusetts’s fare-free experiment, Markey, Pressley press for a $25 billion federal free transit plan - The Boston Globe

The proposed legislation points to the success of free bus pilots that federal lawmakers say made Massachusetts a “national leader in fare-free transit policy."

It also sucks when you want to discuss something interesting and people come out cursing and acting wildly aggressive for no reason. What the hell is wrong with modern discourse? It feels like everyone is on edge and ready to pounce on others in the most aggressive possible way. Really sucks.

The Halo remake is really good. Not perfect, but faithful to the original and very fun. Great to come back to this all timer and see its art design treated with such care.
