AI that works for us means that workers share in productivity gains. That requires Universal Basic Income funded by corporate automation taxes, worker councils with real power over deployment decisions, and strong collective bargaining rights.

"In Milford, the student population had been steadily rising in recent years, according to state data, exceeding 4,500 for the first time last year. But enrollment fell by more than 200 students this year, or about 5 percent, according to district data."

H.Res.876 appropriately recognizes the genocide of the Palestinian people and calls for ceasing arms transfers to Israel in accordance with U.S. and international law. Proud that @pressley.house.gov and @repmcgovern.bsky.social from Massachusetts are co-sponsoring this resolution.

"One-of-a-kind winner" Jared Golden (D-Retiring) voted with Republicans to increase healthcare premiums by thousands.

NEW: Somebody just polled a 2026 Dem primary challenge against Jake Auchincloss in #MA04

But who?

One name in the poll: Sheriff Paul Heroux, who tells me he's interested but Auch has $6M+

Jesse Mermell tells me it's not her poll

Jason Poulos is sole Dem now www.wpri.com/news/electio...

I'm the only AIPAC-free candidate declared in the 2026 MA-4 Democratic primary. @trackaipac.com

This bill (now signed into law by Trump) eliminated IRS reporting requirements for decentralized finance (DeFi), enabling crypto-facilitated money laundering and tax evasion.

The IRS can track your Venmo transactions but DeFI platforms are allowed to traffic billions in unreported crypto trades.

In Massachusetts, Eversource and National grid have already received requests from proposed data centers for an additional 2GW of energy, which is equiv. to the annual electricity usage of 2.4m HHs (85% of all HHs in the state). www.joinact.org/news/an-econ...
