‘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...

Trump’s Older Sister Worries About Him: ‘Donnie’s Acting Like A Nutjob’

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

POLITICO Massachusetts Playbook: BAKER's latest letter — Endorsements abound in MA-3 — Worcester's convention twofer

BAKER's latest letter — Endorsements abound in MA-3 — Worcester's convention twofer 12/21/2017 07:06 AM EST By Lauren Dezenski  ( ldezenski@politico.com ; @LaurenDezenski) with Rebecca Morin ( rmorin@politico.com ; @RebeccaMorin_) GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. LETTERS FROM CHARLIE —  Sticking to his modus operandi on national issues affecting the state, Gov.  Charlie Baker  has  signed on to another letter  to congressional leaders. This time, it’s to leaders in both parties urging them to “come together quickly to shape a bipartisan solution that allows our Dreamers to remain in the United States and continue their constructive contributions to our society.” In September, Baker said “President Trump made the wrong decision today that could negatively impact our economy and many of the Commonwealth’s families,” and then called for a bipartisan solution from Congress. In the past, some Massachusetts Democrats have taken issue with Bake...

Deeply troubling

Americans may find their Fourth Amendment rights violated and the contents of their communications funneled to investigations that have nothing to do with foreign intelligence or national security. Extension of the Government’s Warrantless Surveillance Program is Deeply Troubling POGO is disappointed and troubled by Thursday's rushed vote by the House of Representatives to pass legislation reauthorizing the government’s warrantless-surveillance program and codifying its most controversial practices with no real reforms to protect the privacy of Americans. “By Congress allowing the backdoor search loophole to exist, Americans may find their Fourth Amendment rights violated, and the contents of their communications funneled to investigations that have nothing to do with foreign intelligence or national security,” said Jake Laperruque, senior counsel for The Constitution Project at POGO.
