Interesting that @repauchincloss.bsky.social appears to feel no shame over this while I feel kind of bad for assuming AIPAC had a few more supporters in our district. I'm sorry I doubted you, obnoxious rich people from Newton and Brookline.
@repauchincloss.bsky.social's Q2 2026 FEC report shows AIPAC's conduit bundled another $32,850 across 27 earmarked contributions. 91% came from outside Massachusetts. Exactly one AIPAC-bundled donor lives here in MA-04.

Under Medicare for All, Mass General Brigham stops being an insurance negotiator and becomes what it claims to be: a hospital system devoted to care. It gets a public budget that must fund staffing and services. Execs stop making $8.4M, and nurses never again bargain raises against premium hikes.

MGB calls replacement nurse costs acceptable because they're temporary, unlike raises. The current system's logic says spend freely to fight labor, not to fund fair contracts. Medicare for All means budgets exist for care and workers who provide it, not endless expansion and execs' second yachts.

Mass General Brigham found billions for expansion and executive pay, yet is refusing to negotiate fair contracts for nurses and home care clinicians. The 4500 on strike have my full support and solidarity. Hospitals cannot be run like hedge funds.

We are witnessing MAGA equivalent of destruction of Democratic Party through election of progressive Socialists.
If you think this ends well for country, I believe you're sadly mistaken. Extremism on one side simply fuels opposite growth on other side.
We need moderates.

Vouchers were first used after Brown v. Board to avoid integrating public schools. Today, they still operate outside the civil rights and accountability standards that guide public education, and a new federal voucher program could divert $50 billion from public schools nationwide.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

NEW: In response to DOJ's request for a stay pending appeal of her Haiti TPS order, Judge Reyes questions the "suspect" nature of DOJ's "irreparable harm" arguments, orders DOJ to file a declaration about what actions DHS has taken "in expectation" Haiti TPS would end, and sets a hearing for 2/12.
![MINUTE ORDER. The Court has reviewed the Government's 126 Motion to Stay the Court's Order Granting Relief Under 5 U.S.C. § 705 and 127 4 Plaintiffs' Motion to Set Briefing Schedule. The Government took three business days from the Court's decision to file the motion. They now ask the Court to rule within one business day and three hours and do so without identifying any basis for this rushed timetable. Due to the serious issues presented in this litigation, Plaintiffs should be afforded at least the same amount of time as the Government to brief their opposition.
At the hearing on the Government's Motion, the Court expects the Government to articulate, among other things, how the irreparable harm and other stay factors weigh in the Government's favor. The Government contends that the Court "intru[des]... in the workings of a coordinate branch of the Government." Dkt. 126 at 22 (citation omitted). But missing is any concrete example of how the Court does so. This failure is particularly problematic in light of the Government's representations that it was "remote conjecture," "speculation," and
"theoretical" that it would detain or initiate removal proceedings against Haitian nationals if the Termination went into effect. Dkt. 92 at 42; see Dkt. 126 at 23-24. Either the Government does not have any concrete plans to detain and initiate removal proceedings against Haitian TPS holders if the Court stays its decision pending litigation and therefore its own irreparable harm argument is suspect. Or the Government does have such concrete plans and therefore its argument that Plaintiffs will suffer no "irreparable harm" is suspect.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreid2l2ag2innap7ravycp3m3jvijokr6nlh23szextifdre5aisysu)

I don’t think I can say this forcefully enough: hundreds of thousands of Haitians will lose status tomorrow with racist ending of their TPS & are spending today refreshing their feeds for a court order that could literally save thier lives.
