Drew writes: "The just-released book about Donald Trump and his dysfunctional presidency (Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House) has left much of Washington reeling. Despite the White House's constitutionally dubious threat to try to quash the book, the publication date was moved up four days. But the bulk of Fire and Fury's disclosures, though deeply disquieting, aren't all that surprising."

VOTE THE TURTLE OUT OF OFFICE! The war on drugs is an insult to the intelligence of the American people. There are mountains of evidence proving that the biggest importers of harmful, addictive, mind diminishing street drugs is the government. The drug laws that exist do not apply t o the government agencies that bring these substances to our country. They are only designed to keep everyone else from this extremely lucrative business and give the establishment another reason to oppress people.

‘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...

Three things to watch at the GOP-VENTION – HOUSE passes $41B budget – STATIE tax trouble 04/27/2018 07:08 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski  ( ldezenski@politico.com ; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths ( bgriffiths@politico.com ; @BrentGriffiths) TGIF, MASSACHUSETTS. IT'S GOP-VENTION WEEKEND -  Are you ready? More than 2,400 Massachusetts Republicans are headed to the City of Seven Hills this weekend for the state GOP convention - the confab that not only will seed the September primary ballot, but also give a peek into the hearts and minds of state Republican activists (all with the sweet, sweet convenience of being centrally located inside Worcester's DCU Center). And so, here are my three things to watch as we head into this weekend: - Trump's shadow . Gov.  Charlie Baker , the de-facto head of the state party, has taken pains to maintain daylight between himself and the president (and based off poll numbers, it appears to be working). But in a room fu...

Must Reads: The astonishing number of kids who have experienced a school shooting

Image
Compelling, ambitious reads you can’t afford to miss. v John Woodrow Cox was working on a story about a teen who'd opened fire on a South Carolina school playground in 2016 when he glanced up at a TV in The Post newsroom last month and saw that another school shooting was unfolding in Parkland, Fla. "There were aerial shots of kids on gurneys," said Cox, who felt nauseated at the sight. "I started taking some deep breaths." Cox has spent more than a year reporting a series of searing stories on children and gun violence. He knew the damage done at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School would not be limited to those killed and injured. The trauma, he said, extends to "hundreds and hundreds of kids in that school — their lives are forever altered. Some of them will never recover." After Parkland, Cox and Steven Rich, The Post's database editor for investigations, worked at a breakneck pace to produce a groundbreaking analysis on school ...
