Thank you to Senators Mike Brady, @jamieeldridgema.bsky.social, Pat Jehlen, and @beccarausch.bsky.social for voting to advance the local option real estate transfer fee! This would offer a vital tool for cities and towns seeking to address the housing crisis. #mapoli

This investigation is yet another baseless attempt by Trump to undermine Boston’s success.
In Boston, we are committed to working towards safe, affordable housing for all residents.
I don’t expect the most lawless & corrupt President of our time to get that.

Over fifty years ago, the Justice Department was investigating the Trump family for discriminating against Black people in their real estate business.
Now, the president's administration is accusing the city of Boston of housing discrimination against white people.

Americans are calling on their leaders to take action on affordability – and housing is the biggest expense for families.
But House Republicans just rejected a bipartisan bill to lower housing costs that received unanimous support in the Senate.
Let’s talk about it.

It’s also what the voters want. The successful, affordability-focused campaigns of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, @mikiesherrill.bsky.social, and @abigailspanberger.com are the proof.
