The people who want jungle primaries in Massachusetts are the billionaires who would benefit from being able to sink money that other people don’t have into our elections

Almost 75% of the $2.9 million raised this year came from just 9 (white, male) private equity executives.

good lord, this is such a non-ball knower answer. top two things, without a doubt are 1) SCOTUS reform 2) DC/PR statehood getting rid of citizens united and gerrymandering are literally just downstream from SCOTUS reform

Klein asks Allen what liberals should prioritize if they win the trifecta in 2028. Allen suggests the following: 1) Putting an end to Citizens United; 2) Creation of national service; 3) Ending gerrymandering

Lmao. Meanwhile working families over here like 🤦🏻‍♂️🫠

Daniel Drezner@dandrezner.bsky.social · 2mo ago

We're now a a period where Allen and Klein are kinda talking past each other. Allen is talking about liberalism as a political theory, a la Locke; Klein is talking about liberalism as strictly a left-of-center Democratic party phenomenon. Glad that only took a half-hour to sort out.

CABO VERDEEEEEE!!!!!!! LETS GOOOO!!!

Michael Grant and I have concerns that the project is under-resourced. But one of the producers, Sev Ohanian, is a friend, as well as a genuine Animorphs fan. If anyone can make it work, he can. Fingers crossed. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Some of you out here showing that you would’ve been defending the Gestapo in 1940s Germany. “If only you hadn’t been trying to protect that criminal Jewish family you wouldn’t have gotten arrested or shot dead.” That’s what some of you sound like.

tfw the billionaires say they are going to move out of NYC when Zohran wins

BREAKING: The Senate confirmed the first lifetime judge of 2026. Seven Democrats inexplicably voted to confirm Alexander Van Hook to the Western District of Louisiana. If all Dems/Independents voted no, given absent Republicans, the vote would've failed. nominationnotes.substack.com/p/with-democ...

🚨After we forced a vote, the House passed our bill to restore the ACA subsidies Republicans let expire. This is an important step toward saving healthcare for millions of families—and a testament to what's possible when we organize & fight back. The Senate must follow suit.

BREAKING: House passes bill to extend health care subsidies despite GOP leadership's opposition, putting pressure on the Senate to act.

Cops are taught to avoid shooting into cars, for all the obvious reasons, but ICE has shot NINE people in cars since September. Great reporting from @nlanard.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Cops are taught not to shoot into cars. ICE keeps doing it anyway.

Immigration agents have shot at least 9 people since September. All of them have been in cars.

Thank you Sal! I so appreciate you and your team!

I am excited to announce that tonight my colleagues voted for me to be the next President of the Chelsea City Council! Please join me on January 5, 2026 as the City Council and School Committee are sworn in to our new term!

Fun fact: Mariano tried to act like a vote that happened in 1994 was just a few years ago. By my count, 64 out of the 160 MA state reps were not even eligible to vote yet in 1994, with 8 of them not born yet.

Chelsea Police chief Houghton and City Councilor @robertoj.bsky.social talks about the importance of the Safe Communities Act to trust and public safety in Chelsea. Roberto underscores how so many Chelsea residents see our essential workers who kept our state going during COVID. #mapoli

Chelsea City Councilor @robertoj.bsky.social talks about how our voter registration cutoff disenfranchises renters. No eligible voter should be turned away. #mapoli

According to @massgovernor.bsky.social Healey, the Democratic Party is all about cutting taxes. What world is she living in? This is why we fail and the GOP keeps cutting into our numbers. Meanwhile when we come up short what gets cut is programs helping low and middle income families. 😡

lol I love @warren.senate.gov

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.

ELIZABETH WARREN: What Zohran is saying is 'I want people to be able to afford to live in NYC' FABER: But raising taxes in order to do it? WARREN: Oh my goodness! Oh dear! Are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry?

PSA for everyone going to protests

Thank you @anjalihuynh.bsky.social for covering this! Every day communities like Chelsea and Worcester are getting punched in the face and Maura Healey has done nothing to protect our residents. Is she afraid or does she just not care? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/29/m...

‘Is Maura Healey still alive?’ Governor’s muted response to Trump immigration actions fuels anger among activists. - The Boston Globe

Governor Maura Healey is facing criticism from supporters of immigrants in Massachusetts at risk of detention or deportation by federal immigration officials.

This should cost Schumer his leadership position. And his seat, but demanding a change in leadership will have to do until there’s elections.

Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 2y ago

SCHUMER just now: "While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse."

If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty. Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 2y ago

The word for what Senate Democrats are doing right now is "betrayal." Not only are they voluntarily surrendering the only leverage they have, the leverage they have spent months promising to use against Trump, they're doing it while lying and pretending they want the opposite.

I’m proud of my Congresswoman for fighting this fight. Unlike her, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Dem leadership is just rolling over and playing dead. Then they’ll wonder why voters stay home and don’t fight for them.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.gov · 2y ago

Let me repeat: @democrats.senate.gov should NOT be voting to move forward with the harmful Musk-Trump funding bill. Democrats should hold the line and press for a bill that funds the essential services that people need. Do not give up your leverage. The people are counting on you.

So glad to see Chelsea City Councilor @robertoj.bsky.social taking action as well🙏🏽

Roberto Jimenez-Rivera@robertoj.bsky.social · 2y ago

We need school bus cameras to make sure kids and pedestrians are safe! This vote gives Chelsea Public Schools the permission to make it a reality. Thank you @enriquepepen.bsky.social for helping figure out the appropriate language!
