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 ...
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...
BAKER’s ‘safe’ — Ed funding formula REBOOT — DISTRESS from the Martha’s Vineyard ferry 05/11/2018 07:54 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski (ldezenski@politico.com; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths (bgriffiths@politico.com; @BrentGriffiths) EYE ON NOVEMBER, FORECAST EDITION — It's a good week in Bakerworld: a national election forecaster has upgraded Gov. Charlie Baker to a lock for re-election, regardless of a "national Democratic tsunami." Baker is now seen as the only safe Republican in New England heading into November according to Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball out of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. The "Safe Republican" rating holds the most confidence in a Republican gain (or in this case, hold) for a seat. That's thanks in part to Setti Warren 's departure from the gubernatorial race, which Sabato cites as "another indication of the rather hopeless position Democrats are in against Baker, who narro...

FIRST IN PLAYBOOK - PRESSLEY HITS SIX FIGURES - In the seven days after Boston City Councilor Ayanna Pressley announced her bid to unseat Rep.

Dear Friend, 2017 will be remembered as the year that the so-called ‘peace process’, at least in its American formulation, has ended. And with its demise, a political framework that has served as the foundation for US foreign policy in the Middle East has also collapsed. The Palestinian leadership and its Arab and international allies will now embark on a new year with the difficult task of drumming up a whole new political formula that does not include the United States. Cyril Ramaphosa, the next President of South Africa, was the man behind the entry of international fast food behemoth McDonalds into the country, earning him the sobriquet “The Big Mac”. Zimbabwe’s new President Mnangagwa bears the nickname “The Crocodile” from his days as head of Robert Mugabe’s secret police for, like his namesake, coming out of nowhere to suddenly snatch his victims, never to be seen again Also more stories from around the world. If you don't mind, and if you think the conten...

ARTICLE AT BOTTOM PROVES ALEX JONES IS A MORON! Alex Jones: Accident involving train carrying GOP lawmakers was a “kamikaze” attack on Republicans Jones: “This country is in a civil war” Video ››› January 31, 2018 2:23 PM EST ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF From the January 31 edition of Genesis Communications Network’s The Alex Jones Show : ALEX JONES (HOST): This is breaking: Paul Ryan was onboard the train carrying lawmakers, a whole bunch of lawmakers, to a high-level GOP retreat.

No, this is a me...
