Republicans are holding health care hostage to pay for tax cuts to billionaires. Unacceptable.

Standing up for #Boston today against federal lies, threats, inhumane treatment & overreach, it was striking who was absent: Ed Flynn, Erin Murphy. The rest of Boston City Council showed courage & solidarity. #bospoli

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu:

“Under the Trump administration, groceries are less affordable, housing is harder to build, cures for cancer are farther away, and good news on our economy has been as hard to find as the Epstein list.”

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu:

“Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Businesses small and large are being forced to raise prices to survive. Obliteration Day and reckless tariffs aren’t just a burden on businesses. It’s an all-out assault on the American people.

Went to a #TeslaTakedown protest today w/ a few dozen protesters, lots of honks & thumbs up.

A 30-something man in a truck who was the only vocal negative driver yelled, "Trump is your daddy! Trump is your daddy!"

Really? Are you sure you want to push people to think about #Epstein even more??

Trump was impeached, twice.

Considering posting this every day until the Smithsonian corrects its exhibit. Feel free to join me.

I don’t like it when @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com is on vacation. Well deserved for him. Harder to make it through the week for me.

We need to lift up the voices of the Trump-Epstein victims. This video from Tim Miller of The Bulwark does exactly that:

Release the files. Investigate the money trail. Lift up the victims. Call out the cover-up.
