Michelle #WuProtectionAct Wu has a clear preference for dodging questions in a controlled & friendly environment where she can push “progressive” soundbites unchallenged. Protestors tend to unsettle her, which is why she resorts to libel & dirty games. #ShameOnWu #bospoli #mapoli

The Only Thing America Should Mandate Is Freedom@MandateFreeedom

What @MayorWu fails to share is that she’s weaponized @bostonpolice against the people, where BPD is instructed by legal 2 ARREST people for exercising #1A #FirstAmendment before 9AM instead of the financial fine under #WuProtectionAct, aka Ordinance 16-63 https://lucibab.substack.com/p/houston-i-mean-boston-we-have-a-big

WOAH! Late night #mapoli breaking news alert! This might tip the scales in the auditors race.

Samantha J. Gross@samanthajgross

NEW: @MassAuditor Suzanne Bump, who is retiring, endorsed former transit advocate @cdempc succeed her.

Bump told me that she worked with Dempsey on Deval Patrick’s campaign in 2006, and offered him a job as her chief of staff in 2018 (he turned it down) https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/05/18/metro/state-auditor-suzanne-bump-endorses-chris-dempsey-succeed-her-role/
