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.

‘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.

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).

Guess what folks the "rich people" pay for CNN, the NRA, the TPP, most of the politicians in Washington and a whole lot of other things that destroy the fabric of the country. RSN has always had support from large and small donors alike. That's big part of what makes us unique. Do what you can do.
