ROSENBERG OUT — CAPUANO and PRESSLEY’s first face-off — Remembering State Rep. CHRIS WALSH 05/04/2018 07:30 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski  (ldezenski@politico.com; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths (bgriffiths@politico.com; @BrentGriffiths) TGIF, MASSACHUSETTS.  What a week. ROSENBERG DEPARTS -  As of 5 p.m. today, the saga of  Stan Rosenberg  is over, as far as the state Senate is concerned. Rosenberg announced yesterday that as a result of the findings of the Senate investigation, he would step down effective on Friday. His announcement came as more senators joined the chorus of critics urging the former Senate president to step down - including incoming Senate President  Karen Spilka . Rosenberg's departure represents a heavy blow to the western Massachusetts district he represents. While he had not served in a leadership role in the Senate since December, his departure - and the February death of state Rep.  Peter Kocot  - mean...

18 April 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News THE IMMENSE DISSERVICE OF LONG FUNDRAISERS - This is a major issue for me and I believe for our entire community. 23+ days of fundraising every month to raise what we traditionally have been able to raise in 1 week is an immense disservice to the mission and everyone it serves. I am going to do everything in my power to move the process along. Freeing up two weeks of the organization's time every month would allow for a significant mission expansion, and far less stress for all of us. We must do this. Please give your me support. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!

Remember how far Koch brothers' Sock Puppet Scooter Brown got attacking Elizabeth Warren?  Scott Brown made history when he was defeated by 2 WOMEN!  When Republican losers can't address issues, they dredge up old nonsense. 02/15/2018 07:17 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski  ( ldezenski@politico.com ; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths ( bgriffiths@politico.com ; @BrentGriffiths) GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. THE POCAHONTAS PROBLEM -  Sen.  Elizabeth Warren  took the unexpected step of attempting to set the record straight on questions around her Native American heritage yesterday. "You won't find my family members on any rolls, and I'm not enrolled in a tribe,"  Warren said yesterday . "And I want to make something clear. I respect that distinction. I understand that tribal membership is determined by tribes - and only by tribes. I never used my family tree to get a break or get ahead. I never used it to advance my career." Warren...
