.@Maura_healey should join me in calling for an immediate suspension of the gas tax. Commuters need a break from her wallet abuse, not lectures. Go to http://ChrisforMA.com now to support me, because I am the only candidate who can defeat @maura_healey. #magov #mapoli #massgop

If I look insanely happy it’s because I am. Thank you @SenMarkey for delivering historic climate legislation through the #InflationReductionAct and for having me speak at your press conference along side you and other climate justice leaders like @MayorWu

FACTS! What Chip said applies also to @JoeBiden. Keep in mind, @BarackObama suffered big defeats in his first midterm election after passing sweeping healthcare & financial reform. Biden has even more—we MUST BE MORE VOCAL in celebrating wins by @wutrain & Biden! #BOSpoli #MApoli

Great piece by @samanthajgross & @emmaplatoff pointing out a deeply weird but somehow normalized #mapoli dynamic: "a Democratic supermajority ceding its power to a lame-duck Republican governor, who can now veto at will without the threat of an override."
