What did he write?

September 14, 2006 By rex 2 Comments

What did Deval Patrick write?  Why would Chris Gabrieli announce that he was looking at Deval Patrick's personal notes?  Actually, why was he looking in the first place?  Doesn't he run the risk of getting caught looking like … [Read more...]

A General Election Advertisement

July 11, 2006 By Ryan 8 Comments

The quotes come from CentralMAguy on this BMG thread and I thought it was brilliantly strong-worded, yet poignant; it's the sort of ad which can deliver votes. Use of language is paramount in an election. Not only do Democrats have to be … [Read more...]

Of the People?

June 21, 2006 By smart-mass Leave a Comment

Hey #mapoli please tell me come 2022 we are going to remember how Charlie Baker mismanaged the COVID vaccine rollout, vetoed the consensus police reform bill, vetoed abortion access, vetoed the consensus climate bill, didn’t fund the SOA, and slashed transit. Please.

Focus on the record - "small minded and shortsighted" justification for transit cuts that make it tougher to reduce emissions, harm those in need and hold back our recovery #mapoli https://twitter.com/cdempc/status/1353002390560141318?s=20
