I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the oligarchy and return power to the people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP0pRIBRcDk

Another example of POTUS’s lack of respect for scientific evidence and lack of compassion for fellow human beings.

Trump’s undisciplined and hypocritical sycophant Hegseth: “We are made stronger and more disciplined with high, uncompromising, and clear standards.” This is in preparation for a change in the grooming policy regarding beards, a thinly veiled racially motivated action.

Progress in this country never comes easy or quick. For every few hard-earned steps forward, we might stumble a couple steps back. But sometimes, the slow, steady effort of generations is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt.

Press Secretary’s answer about peaceful protest: “He supports the First Amendment. He supports the right of Americans to make their voices heard. He does not support violence of any kind. He does not support assaulting law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their job.” Jan 6 pardons?!

This is an ad on a public transit train. Providing a gambling addiction hotline number does not make this right.

SCOTUS allows transgender military ban to stand while challenges make it through the lower courts. Perhaps Hegseth can explain what Trump means by “conflicts with … an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle.”

FDA’s Marty Makary is a competent and dedicated public servant with real expertise, albeit holding some controversial but arguably reasonable positions. Unfortunately Dr. Makary’s boss, like so many other Trump appointees, spreads misinformation, lacks expertise, and holds unreasonable positions.

Helpful COVID aid bill signed by Trump 45. Easy to use by the needy, but also by fraudsters. Fraudulent accounts are flagged with future birth dates. Trump 47: the idiot savants from DOGE “discover” the fraud. Then Trump & Musk complain that tax dollars are wasted on “people born in the future.”

Who’s coming to the show in Somerville?
