In Congress – July 4, 1776

July 4, 2021 By Christopher

I think it was David who had a tradition of posting this every year and I want to keep it going.  For the last four years on my FB page I posted a riff that was a bill of particulars against Donald Trump.   It is with tremendous relief and … [Read more...]

Boston Globe Recommends “Future Proofing” the Presidency.

June 9, 2021 By Christopher

Massachusetts's paper of record has posted a 6-part series on how to insulate the presidency from another Donald Trump.  I have not read the series yet, but I understand the theme is legal remedies to codify norms.  They will run one at a … [Read more...]

Senator Warren to Seek Re-election

May 8, 2021 By Christopher

Politico frames this as a surprise among Massachusetts Democrats.  It isn't to me, nor have I heard the conversations speculating that she would not run.  I tend to assume that incumbents will seek re-election until I hear otherwise. … [Read more...]

RIP Vice President Walter Mondale

April 19, 2021 By Christopher

He was VP when I was born and one of my earliest political memories is of him being the 1984 Democratic presidential nominee. I remember hoping he would win, not because I had real political views at age 6, but because that is the age we … [Read more...]

March 11, 2021 By Christopher

Yesterday, was the one year anniversary of Governor Baker's declaration of a state of emergency on account of the coronavirus, which is easy to remember because it is also my birthday.  That day remains the most recent time I have shaken … [Read more...]

Highlights of Impeachment II, Day 1

February 9, 2021 By Christopher

Well, this is interesting…

January 20, 2021 By Christopher

...and certainly counterintuitive.  For all our griping about inert politics and governance in this state it seems we stand out among states for liking our elected officials.  Not just in the mine is great, but everyone else stinks, but we … [Read more...]

Massachusetts Will Have a New Speaker [maybe]

December 16, 2020 By Christopher

Update: A spokesperson for DeLeo now denies that he is leaving for Northeastern. But you know how these trial balloons work. Maybe, could be. Supposedly Ron Mariano would be next in line, which sounds like more of the same if not worse. -- … [Read more...]

Seeking Information on Joe Curtatone

December 7, 2020 By Christopher

I've seen a couple of news items today indicating that Somerville Mayor Joe Curtatone is making moves toward a 2022 gubernatorial bid.  Obviously we're a long way from the field settling, but I'm always ready for the next race, so I was … [Read more...]
