November 7, 2010 By AmberPaw 85 Comments

Our banks are sitting on a trillion+ dollars but demanding 18% returns and so investing overseas, not in American businesses. Great for the stockmarket - but not for workers.   And WE bailed these bloodsucking Plutocratic Neobarons … [Read more...]

April 9, 2010 By liveandletlive 3 Comments

It is interesting to listen to the talk on Wall Street, and the way they feel put upon by government and society.  They think Tim Geithner is "solid" and the good guy.  They spin tax numbers to make it seem like they are going to … [Read more...]

As usual, @ewarren is absolutely right. We must go further and investigate the T. With rider safety, and the civil rights of some of our most vulnerable communities at stake, as AG I'll get to the bottom of how our transit system got to this point of consistent failure.#mapoli

Conservative John Bolton failed us during Trump's impeachment but he's not holding back now. This conservative shows he still cares about national security unlike Trump's cult who are defending national security risks Trump caused w/his handling of documents #mapoli #nhpolitics

Ron Filipkowski 🇺🇦 @RonFilipkowski

When John Bolton says on Newsmax that we are safer under Biden then we would have been under Trump, the host loses his mind and they have an epic battle. I know people hate Bolton, but this is fantastic - he debunks every fake narrative they created about his foreign policy.

Extreme drought/no end in sight for eastern MA. Many communities use well water drawing from the same aquifer. There are no laws/regulations to impose restrictions on well water use. People still water lawns while mature trees die, and rivers dry up. #mapoli #Drought2022 1/

Dave Epstein @growingwisdom

Drought signal remains powerful into next week. It's not hopeless for rain, but with each passing day and the guidance keeping the storm to our east, the odds of significant rain remains low. #Drought2022

According to @JimLyonsMA today: “Hunter Biden just left for a vacation with "the big guy" as an ever-expanding mountain of evidence continues to point to that family's illegal influence-peddling schemes.” Hard to imagine why @massgop is such a train wreck. 😂😂😂 #mapoli

How do say your current elected official has done nothing for his constituents w/out having to say anything? Ricardo Arroyo brought home NO bacon. Not one dime of ARPA money. @RicardoNArroyo what exactly do you do all day besides run for another office? #bospoli #mapoli
