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 ...

Right now, testing shows the F-35 is incapable of performing most of the functions required for an acceptable close support aircraft, functions the A-10 is performing daily in current combat. F-35: Still No Finish Line in Sight Right now, testing shows the F-35 is incapable of performing most of the functions required for an acceptable close support aircraft—functions the A-10 is performing daily in current combat. As initially advertised, and throughout the program’s development, taxpayers have been told this exorbitantly costly system is necessary to combat advanced future threats. However, testing results show that  the planes already delivered cannot even effectively address the current threats.  That’s a problem.

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 ...
