Morning, Mass. ☁️ It would be pretty easy for Gov. @maura_healey to take the T to work — and former Gov. Mike Dukakis thinks she should. It made him “a better gov.” Plus:
— Delegation doesn’t want to ban TikTok, yet
— More fams in emergency hotels #mapoli https://politi.co/42ANvj2

What ideological laziness about MBTA. Mr. Howard (typical of a Twitter activist) thinks the problem is that we don’t believe enough in transit. 🙄 The piece has no ideas and no new information, which is normal for him. Some activists don’t change. #mapoli

I’m glad the school district budget makes clear inflation exists, meaning a 1.8% “increase” is really a cut (local media rarely/never says that) #MApoli

This week on The Horse Race, what happened to #mapoli Twitter? Also, we dive into the state of polling, nationwide and here in Massachusetts. Then, the gig worker debate is picking up steam at the State House. We’ll look at what both sides want.

At one of the top hospitals in the nation, Massachusetts General Hospital in #Boston, you enter the building called Yawkey & you are ordered to wear a mask immediately because there’s covid inside but there’s no covid down the hall in their cafeteria. Science! #mapoli 🤦🏻‍♀️
