Tonight, I will deliver a special address on the state of Boston Public Schools.
At BPS, we put our students at the center of the class and take them on a journey of learning and self-discovery. I hope you will join us live at 7 p.m. to hear about the progress we have made together. #BostonSOTS

And let me be clear: The CEOs who tried and failed to oust Wu are wrong about the economics, as usual. Having a safe, fair, climate-resilient city is always *good for business*
Don't sleep on Michelle Wu, one of this country's most quietly effective climate leaders, cruising to a second term in Boston. It's telling that business interests tried and failed to stop her and are pouting about it now

Zohran Mamdani isn’t the only candidate challenging the status quo—and having fun doing it.

Donald Trump has proven that politicians today can get away with ignoring basic transparency & avoid accountability on personal financial interests, conflicts & entanglements. I’ve been disclosing financials since before Trump & still believe in good government. Here’s why it matters in this race:🧵
Josh Kraft has yet to disclose his 2024 tax return — in fact, he's filing late
In May, the Kraft campaign said it would release his tax returns “in the near future.” But now the campaign says the candidate had asked the IRS for a six-month filing extension.

“Democrat for Mayor” plastered everywhere & this is what it means to him 🤔

![Screenshot of State House News Q&A with Josh Kraft:
Q: Why are you choosing to run as a Democrat? What does being a Democrat mean to you?
A: I think the history of Democrats, especially --
(A Kraft aide sitting in on the interview interjects: "You are a Democrat.")
Well, no, I'm a Democrat. But running as a Democrat means to me, the history — there's a part of the party that's, I think it's called the Blue Dog Dems now, but that's sort of been lost. And a lot of folks [say], "Oh, the Democratic Party has lost its way," you know, whatever. I believe firmly in that traditional Democrat pathway, not only about supporting people, working people, but also being open to listening to every side and understanding how to get things done by partnering and listening to others that might disagree with you, which was always a hallmark — whether it was Tip O'Neill, Ted Kennedy reaching across the aisle.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lqyudu2xl2qfksfbza6uyboh/bafkreihppnygyq3jomm4sc65fxekv42dquo7zw3vs7qr3qcve7abmizvwq@jpeg)

18,000+ students in 5th quarter learning programs across 250 sites (more than ever before), 10,000+ paid youth summer jobs, AND free summer meals to stay healthy, active & learning all summer long ☀️
While summer meal programs like this one should be commonplace in US cities, it feels revolutionary at this moment in time. Thank you Mayor Wu for reminding us what real leadership looks like.👏👏👏
Young people in Boston can get free meals all summer long. Visit boston.gov/summereats to find a Boston Summer Eats location near you.

President Trump’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill is an attack on the people of Boston. The President and his supporters in Congress are jamming a bill through that will steal health insurance and food assistance from thousands of Boston families while giving massive tax cuts to billionaires.

WBUR's @thebrodybeat.bsky.social asked Boston Mayor Michelle Wu about the NYC race and Zohran Mamdani on Monday, after Mamdani recently pointed to Wu as a model.
"If New York is to have that kind of leadership, that would be a really thrilling thing to be able to partner," Wu said.
