"The Massachusetts Department of Correction... formally partners with ICE to transfer people who have finished their sentences." Healey's office has also not responded to my calls about this (and why would they) BUT maybe if a lot more of us call and keep calling, they'll get the drift. 617-725-4005

JUST IN: Democrats tonight have flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Florida. And not just any seat: This is the district that contains Mar-a-Lago. (It voted for Trump by 11% in 2024). That's right: Trump will now be represented by a Democrat, Emily Gregory, in Tallahassee.

Citizens Bank protests are no joke, but these Boston guys naming every town in Massachusetts are funny. Ben Affleck wins. I couldn't stop listening.
