Keegan writes: "Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman electrified the Cannes Film Festival with a comic-tragic retelling of the incredible true-life story of Ronald Stallworth (John David Washington), a black Colorado police detective who infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan in the early 1970s."

‘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.”..."

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 ...

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.

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...

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.
