‘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...

Jamie Eldridge Senator Jamie Eldridge calls for Senator Stan Rosenberg to resign immediately I call on Senator Stan Rosenberg to resign from his position as State Senator, effective immediately. In addition, I urge the Senate Committee on Ethics to recommend stronger punishment for Senator Rosenberg, including immediate censure, and suspension of Senator Rosenberg as a State Senator. Today, my Senate colleagues and I read S.2510, Report of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Concerning the Conduct of Senator Stanley C. Rosenberg. I am deeply disturbed, appalled, and hurt by the actions of Senator Rosenberg, as thoroughly detailed in the Senate Committee on Ethics Report. I commend the independent investigators, and the members of the Senate Committee on Ethics, for their hard work, which is evidenced in this comprehensive report. From the review of the Report, conversations with my colleagues, constituents, and fellow Massachusetts residents, reading the Massachus...

Net neutrality is dead

Dear Friend, Net neutrality is dead — at least for now, with it the dissenting voices like that of Countercurrents.org, unless we act urgently and collectively. In a 3-2 vote today, the Federal Communications Commission approved a measure to remove the tough net neutrality rules it put in place just two years ago. Those rules prevented internet providers from blocking and throttling traffic and offering paid fast lanes. They also classified internet providers as Title II common carriers in order to give the measure strong legal backing. André Staltz a reputed technology blogger wrote that internet started dying back in 2014. He predicts that what's coming is the consolidation of internet monopolies , namely Google, Facebook and Amazon what he terms as Trinet. Those interested can read the article here.  https://staltz.com/the-web-began-dying-in-2014-heres-how.html The inaugural World Inequality Report published on Thursday by economists Thomas Piketty, Emmanuel Saez, Gabr...

Jonathan Chait | Voters to Roy Moore: F*ck You and the Horse You Rode in On

13 December 17 It's Live on the HomePage Now:   Reader Supported News IS "SURVIVING DECEMBER" THE NEW NORMAL? Increasingly, December is becoming a fundraising nightmare. Traditionally, December was always considered a month where we would get a year-end boost. It's not only no longer that, it's rapidly becoming the worst month of the year. No traction at all on donations. Big concern. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation! FOCUS: Jonathan Chait | Voters to Roy Moore: F*ck You and the Horse You Rode in On    Jonathan Chait, New York Magazine   Chait writes: "Roy Moore is Donald Trump, but more so. He is a buffoon, a racist, authoritarian demagogue, and a sexual predator. In all these qualities, save buffoonery, he exceeds Trump."   READ MORE Contribute to RSN Become a Fan of RSN on  Facebook  and  Twitter Update My Monthly Donation

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.

POLITICO Massachusetts Playbook: Praise for BAKER’s strong commonwealth — The business of #MeToo — PUERTO RICAN evacuee local housing woes

01/24/2018 07:06 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski  ( ldezenski@politico.com ; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths ( bgriffiths@politico.com ; @BrentGriffiths) GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. SURPRISE! THE STATE OF THE COMMONWEALTH IS STRONG -  Those expecting to be surprised by Gov.  Charlie Baker 's state of the commonwealth speech last night had to be disappointed. It was classic Baker: straightforward, stressing uncontroversial positives like bipartisanship, a double-down on the fight against the opioid epidemic, statistics coming from rankings that prove his point, no specific mention of President  Donald Trump , and a line about the  Patriots ' three Super Bowl visits over the last four years (which landed like catnip for the audience in the House chamber). All sought to make the case for a successful first term and  likely set the stage  for what will be his reelection argument. Outside of the State House, Democrats dismissed it. The ...
