‘Vote her in next, Massachusetts’ — $15 minimum wage, paid family leave ballot questions to be dropped — KENNEDY joins hunger strike 06/27/2018 07:17 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski  (ldezenski@politico.com; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths (bgriffiths@politico.com; @BrentGriffiths) GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. NY-14'S MASSACHUSETTS CONNECTION —  A progressive woman of color, facing institutional opposition and a significant fundraising gap, wages a long-shot bid against a 10-term, scandal-free white male incumbent. Sounds a lot like Boston City Councilor  Ayanna Pressley 's campaign to unseat Rep.  Michael Capuano  in Massachusetts' 7th District, right? But those were the contours in New York's 14th District, where 28-year-old  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez  decisively defeated Rep.  Joe Crowley  in the Democratic primary last night. There's even a Massachusetts connection to the winning campaign — Pressley sent her field dire...

Reclaim America Join the Coffee Party Movement Thank you Senator Markey! Senator Edward J. Markey  — US Senator for Massachusetts In Massachusetts, would-be gun buyers "must complete a four-hour gun safety course, get character references from two people", and have a one-on-one interview with a police officer. We have the lowest gun death rate in America. Let's do this everywhere. Congress should pass my MASS Act that incentivizes other states to adopt tough gun laws similar to those in Massachusetts. NEWTON, Mass. ― A thirtysomething man sought to buy a rifle here last September, and if he had been living in almost any other part of the country, he could have done so easily.  His record was free of arrests, involuntary psychiatric commitments or anything else that might automatically disqualify him from owning firearms under federal law. He could have  walked into a gun store, filled ...

Just an observation.....

Image
Sitting in a doctor's office this week, I picked up a  Christmas magazine that offered interesting  recipes  and so on.....  Instead of informative information, interesting recipes ..... every other page was an ad for DRUGS!  Pills!  Since I customarily bring a book or something to do, the surplus magazines aren't perused.....  Is this what we've come to as a nation?   Several years ago, a medical doctor expressed his frustration that patients came to him having determined they had a certain condition or required a certain medical test from having seen it advertised on television..... Has American Ignorance reached this level?

Trump’s Older Sister Worries About Him: ‘Donnie’s Acting Like A Nutjob’

Image
Who knows how true the comments are...just worth a chuckle.....SAD! "....“Donnie was never a smart boy, no matter what he tells you. In fact, the neighborhood kids used to call him ‘Donnie Dimwit.’ But recently he seems to be operating at an even lower IQ, and that’s not good for the country.”.... "... Frankly, I always thought he was gay. Donnie used to run around in mother’s dressing gowns, always wanted to take a bubble bath, and he had more talent for interior design than construction. When Daddy finished a residential building project, it was always little Donnie who insisted on choosing the drapes. My point is, I don’t think the daily demands of the presidency align with his softer sensibilities…and now he’s cracking under the pressure.”..." Trump’s Older Sister Worries About Him: ‘Donnie’s Acting Like A Nutjob’ Trump’s older sister is not happy about the behavior of her little brother, the President of the United States.
