While we’re on candidates and sex crimes, let’s not forget that MA GOP Senate nominee John Deaton, in his own memoir, describes committing statutory rape of a 15yo girl. Not an allegation. Not opposition research. By his own account, in his own words. #mapoli

The most under-the-radar story this election year is that MA GOP Senate nominee John Deaton may have committed a homicide. So I wrote about it. If you're going to demand accountability from others, you gotta lead by example. Deaton owes voters some answers. #mapoli wmasspi.com/2026/05/op-e...

“Have you ever killed someone?” isn’t the type of question you normally need to ask someone running for office. You should ask John Deaton.

The old guard is failing us, and their disdain for voters who try to initiate change is a liability to earning popular support for a progressive agenda. We need new Democratic leadership on Beacon Hill, and we need it yesterday. #mapoli

Poilievre’s recent shift in strategy to expand his voter pool is critical for his political success, but it risks alienating a significant portion of the party’s base which supports Trump, say some political players. www.hilltimes.com/story/2026/0...

Thousands came to the rallies in Andover, North Andover & Boxford—but not a single MAGA. It’s a sign they’re either ashamed or scared. Either way, those who did come were part of the millions who made a massive show of resistance to Trump’s fascist attempt to remake America. #NoKings #mapoli

I had the chance to discuss the MAGA North dynamics at play for Canada’s Conservatives. From the great reporting of @lefthandstu.bsky.social MAGA North is solidly half the Conservative Party—a problem that lasts as long as Trump is president (so, god-willing, no more than 3.5 years) #cdnpoli

Front | Conservatives seize on Liberals’ ‘law-and-order vacuum’ as Trump anxiety wanes; Carney calls Indonesia trade deal ‘game changing,’ but labour says it is a ‘step backwards;’ Without clarity, Kneecap ban appears as a ‘politically motivated PR stunt,’ say critics; and more.  www.hilltimes.com

Too many Dems were quick to scapegoat trans ppl after the election. They’re wrong. Abandoning a vulnerable part of our coalition in pursuit of political gain is short sighted. In fact, when trans rights are on the ballot, they win. My take via @thehill.com: thehill.com/opinion/camp...
thehill.com
Democrats don’t need to abandon transgender rights in order to win
This wasn’t a losing issue for Democrats so much as it was an ignored issue, and we can’t address concerns — unfounded or not — when we don’t even talk about them.
