Breaking the bubble

January 17, 2017 By Setti Warren

Whither GOTV?

December 1, 2016 By jonsax

Dropping film tax credit to expand EITC is both progressive & populist… why aren’t Dems on board?

March 12, 2015 By SamTracy

On the Road to Political Irrelevance with Rudy Giuliani

February 22, 2015 By steven-j-gulitti

Another famous New Yorker, Yogi Berra, once said, “We may be lost but we’re making good time.” That pretty much sums up the current state of Rudy Giuliani’s political reality and doesn’t bode well for his future. When it comes to Rudy … [Read more...]

"a rabid pro-life conservative"

Frank Phillips is slyly trying to get Lyons reelected so he continue to write about stuff. It's obvious. #mapoli

Frank Phillips @GlobeFPhillips

2)Watch for a raucous State Committee meeting as Lyons, a rabid pro-life conservative,tries to quash move to block his reelection.He wields a wild gavel,blows through rules,could even defy a court order to sit one member.Still hasn't explained hidden party debts.#mapoli

Folks like to blame @GOP for lack of meaningful #PoliceReform. Truth IS; it's bipartisan and both parties present barriers to #PoliceReform. @massdems hide behind support of collective bargaining which has NO place in public safety POLICY! #UrbanAgenda #BOSpoli #MApoli

Notorious VOG @NotoriousVOG

Also UNIONS shouldn’t have influence over #PublicSafety. Any meaningful #PoliceReform MUST include set of CORE responsibilities & requirement which AREN’T subject so-called COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. Cops AREN’T cleaning ladies, they hold life & death in their hands. #BOSpoli #MApoli https://twitter.com/NotoriousVOG/status/1619730104476930050

1)Whether Mass. will ever get a two party system again to be decided Tues. when GOP leaders meet to decide fate of chair Jim Lyons, who has run amok bankrupting the party, losing elections - and faces probes from the AG +camp. finance regulators. #mapoli
