This story of obfuscation & political interference points to the failure of #mapoli’s approach to MBTA governance. The T should not be governed by the Executive branch; a different more inclusive approach is needed to restore quality & confidence. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/07/06/metro/three-t-derailments-three-days-lots-questions-curious-delay/

My goodness, Boston Globe. It was a tool cart. You even called it a "relatively unserious mishap" but then gave it the Watergate tick-tock treatment. and wrote "Three Derailments in Three Day" and put it on the front page.

It was a tool cart. #mapoli

Dozen's of senior cabinet members resigned yesterday. PM Boris Johnson lost the confidence of his own team.

The threat of DOJ doing the same thing made Trump re-think his plan to overturn the election #mapoli #nhpolitics
