Time to rethink the Democratic State Convention

June 2, 2018 By Pablo 64 Comments

Today's Democratic State Convention was a disappointment, and it's not the first time. After spending the better part of a February Saturday getting elected, and a June Saturday inside the DCU center, I have to say we need to start thinking … [Read more...]

THE CONVENTION WENT FINE!

June 15, 2014 By markbernstein 29 Comments

There is much hand-wringing about disorganization at the convention. Real conventions are complex and confusing, and this one was real: no one know how things would turn out. This convention planned to introduce a backup electronic … [Read more...]

Guy Glodis: what happened? (WITH POLL)

June 6, 2010 By jumbowonk 172 Comments

I have a few ideas.  The first one is that people finally got fed up with him.  There are certainly enough things out there about him to make people turn away from him.  He could have very easily alienated former supporters … [Read more...]

Looking forward to the Democratic State Convention

June 3, 2010 By Steve 4 Comments

I'm running for State Treasurer because I believe that 35 years of leadership creating jobs, meeting payrolls, and managing money in our 100-year-old family business have given me the experience to do the job and to do it right. I am the … [Read more...]

When Scott Brown won in January 2010, Alan Khazei told us, “you can’t read too much into it. It’s a special election!”

Bad result but good to keep in mind.

Looks like JEFF TURCO wins the race to replace former House Speaker Robert DeLeo in the 19th Suffolk District. JUAN PABLO JARAMILLO comes in second by just under 300 votes.

Yikes.

Adam Bass@AdamBassWCCS

The idea of a Pro Life Trump supporter winning Suffolk 19 is not out of the ordinary. Winthrop is particular is much more right leaning that Revere. And Revere got severely out voted. When Capobianco had his story, that left you with two progressives. #mapoli

.@CDCgov dir. @RWalensky, once part of MA's #COVID19 advsy board, said

"Now is not the time to relax the critical safeguards that we know can stop the spread of COVID-19 ... not when we are so close."

But @MassGovernor pushes to reopen.

Who is advising Gov. Baker now?

It's time to state outright that Charlie Baker's science advisory team is the Chamber of Commerce. That's why we were slow to act last year, why our public health network got ignored on vaccines & why our reopenings have flown in the face of data, expert advice & common sense. https://twitter.com/MikeConnollyMA/status/1366423893276303364

Mike Connolly@MikeConnollyMA

Just reiterating my COVID philosophy: Instead of bucking advice from the CDC and Dr. Fauci (by further reopening the Mass. economy), we should #TaxTheRich and use the new revenue to provide cash relief to people in need and small businesses while also investing in health equity.
