The primary ballots are arriving! This one is significant, independent of the names appearing on it. For many years, Dem ballots in MA have been red, while GOP ballots have been blue. Result? Voter confusion. I filed legislation this term to fix that problem, and here we are. #mapoli #vote

The confirmed #measles case count so far this year is now 2371, in only 7 months, compared to 2289 in all of 2025. Only 7 states haven't reported cases in 2026. Only 16 of these cases were imported, #CDC reports. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

Three days. Three headlines. Meteoric fall for a candidate that never should have run in the first place and a campaign that should have ended many months prior.

Well it’s about time. The fact that it took him this long speaks volumes about his actual motives. The fact that it didn’t happen over the Nazi tattoo (and he never actually got rid of it) speaks volumes too. #ByeGraham Via @bostonglobe.com: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/08/n...

The fact that @grahamformaine.bsky.social has not yet withdrawn tells you everything you need to know about why he got into the race in the first place. And it was never about ousting Susan Collins. PS it should’ve ended with the Nazi tattoo

Exactly how many disqualifiers will it take? @grahamformaine.bsky.social says he’s “taking time” to assess but it doesn’t actually require any time at all. DROP OUT. And don’t come at me with the hideous misdeeds of others. The fact that the GOP’s bar is 6’ under doesn’t mean ours should be.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

I’m tired of headlines like this that wrongly draw a false equivalence between the parties’ positions. Congressional Dems are fighting for food and health care. Congressional GOPs want … more chaos and economic mess? Mass hunger? Secret police? Terror in our streets? Musk to become a trillionaire?
