As my buddy @jonathancohn.bsky.social always says, Massachusetts has a larger GDP than Sweden but much, much worse public services. A travesty that people think of the state as some socialist paradise. By our powers it will be someday, but that day is not today.

Can Democrats Win Rural Voters Turning Away From Trump? It’s a Tough Sell. (Gift Article)

House candidates like Beth Macy, author of “Dopesick,” have crafted messages based on lifetimes in rural regions. But messages need an audience, and many minds are closed to the party.

For decades, the US has been a hub for groundbreaking scientific and medical research. But the Trump administration’s attempts to politicize research funding and bring higher ed to heel are endangering that innovation & threatening all the progress we’ve made. (1/3)

Four years ago, SCOTUS gutted Roe and put access to abortion in jeopardy for countless patients. Massachusetts stepped up and established a free and confidential abortion legal hotline, providing support for patients, providers, and helpers. Share this number to save a life: (833) 309-6301.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

Really lazy journalism for State House News service to say "Emerging House energy bill switches focus to affordability" when the House's bill actually guts energy efficiency programs that save people money and makes people pay a tax for new pipeline construction. It's Trumpian in its dishonesty.
