Trying to figure out how to get from South Station to where I need to be in Boston. With the Green Line out of commission, I'm not sure the MBTA website could manage to be less helpful about what to do if it really really tried. Good work, MBTA!

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

It appears that the White House affidavit, swearing that pool reporter had access restored by shortly before 10 AM, was perjurious: It will be interesting to see whether the affidavit, when refiled per the Clerk's order, will be modified

DPS voter registration applications weren’t sent to counties

Counties will start receiving a surge of applications less than two weeks before the Oct. 5 registration deadline, adding work at one of the busiest points in the election calendar.

Rubio justified Trump’s ban on some media from the White House partly on the grounds that he gets to decide who has the privilege of being in “his White House”. No, honey. It’s OUR White House.

Because so many synagogues live stream their services, one can attend almost anywhere. I “went to” yizkor at the beautiful place we went when I was a child. (Temple Israel, Westport, CT). It was very special, moving. My parents (z”l) and I, there.

What Republicans are currently doing to Mitch McConnell, all to hang on to their majority, is elder abuse. But Republicans are like their cult leader, Donald Trump—they only think about themselves.

I don't expect to agree with my candidate on every issue. Sometimes I even disagree on something important. But I do the math and find the balance, especially with respect to their actual authorities and power in office. And I understand: The collective matters. The majority matters. Vote. Blue.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.
