The Republican candidate for Lt Gov. is anti-vax. She was a state rep. for nine months once and she won't say Biden won and Trump lost. She actually says she doesn't know who won because there are states still doing audits #MaPoli

Lexie Schapitl @lexieschapitl

"My Body, My Choice" is no longer polling well with Democrats because of its association with the anti-vax movement

Fascinating read from @RachelHBluth on how vaccine opponents co-opted the abortion rallying cry https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/07/04/1109367458/my-body-my-choice-vaccines

Pass-thru #smallbiz owners, who spent a lifetime building their biz, will unfairly face higher taxes under an income tax surtax. That means when they sell the biz, their retirement nest egg will be much less than they planned facing a 9% tax. #mapoli https://bit.ly/3Rgg13A

True story #MaPoli #NHpolitics #WIunion #WIpolitics

John Nichols @NicholsUprising

Boris Johnson is quitting as prime minister because the British Conservative Party is holding a dangerous and dysfunctional party leader to account — something the American Republican Party has steadfastly refused to do.

So much for @CharlieBakerMA's reputation as "Mr. Fix-It". #mapoli

Jesse Mermell @jessemermell

Not a good look when @massgovernor’s administration can’t get their stories straight about how many times the #MBTA derails. The Gov. cannot continue to be Teflon when it comes to the disastrous state of the T. 2 terms in, the management failure is his. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/07/06/metro/three-t-derailments-three-days-lots-questions-curious-delay/
