I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

The life-saving COVID vaccine was developed because of federal research investments at a Mass-based company. Disbanding HHS’s COVID advisory panel and targeting Moderna is yet another baseless attack on Massachusetts and example of RFK Jr’s incompetence. Vaccines work. RFK Jr should resign.

The Devers Mess
The Red Sox made promises to Rafael Devers. Then they broke them. Now they’re asking him to fix the problem they created — and getting mad when he won’t.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.
100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
