Pundits say the problem with the "Dems" is that they don't know what they stand for. That's not true.

We need to unify behind it, just like the right-wing MAGA movement united under Project 2025. Victory requires a transformative vision for the future.

The message from @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social today is one @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social have to listen to. We should not be funding an anti-constitutional administration that is determined to undermine Article I and turn military personnel on our own people. Enough is enough.

Our 10-day registration cutoff is arbitrary and unnecessary. It serves no purpose other than voter suppression during the time of peak election attention.

We will not yield.

STATEMENT ON DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE LAWSUIT AGAINST BOSTON

This unconstitutional attack on our city is not a surprise. Boston is a thriving community, the economic and cultural hub of New England, and the safest major city in the country — but this administration is intent on attacking our community to advance their own authoritarian agenda. This is our City, and we will vigorously defend our laws and the constitutional rights of cities, which have been repeatedly upheld in courts across the country. We will not yield.

Massachusetts Statehouse, pass these bills NOW--make ICE take their masks off and be accountable. Tighten up the rules for National Guard deployment to reduce the risk of politically-motivated abuses and overreach!
