@SarahLongwell25 @BillKristol He might have had a better chance if he wasn’t such a hypocrite and showed a little backbone. People don’t vote for p*ssies.

That is the cowards lesson. The real lesson is that if you take a stand for something you know to be right and just you should keep fighting, not retreat. You need to go down brawling for what’s right. You lose your senate seat either way, but you keep your integrity.

@bostonherald Well perhaps you should do the same for what I will assume will be a full throated all out support effort for Minogue or Shortsleeve.

Opinion | The Boston Globe, in its all-out support of Democrat Gov. Maura Healey, ought to be required to register as a political action committee, or PAC. bostonherald.com/2026/05/16/luc…

@SonofElidm @bostonherald They are

THROWBACK: 18 years ago, Manny Ramirez high-fived a fan in left field before doubling up Aubrey Huff at first 🤣 Just Manny being Manny 🤷‍♂️

@PonziMarkets @OnlyInBOS redfin.com/city/1826/MA/B…

@OnlyInBOS Nobody spending 45 mil to live in Boston run by wu. Never. Maybe 5 mil tops, with no HOA.

The Grand Penthouse at the St. Regis Residences in Boston's Seaport District has had a $5 million reduction. The 10,600 square foot unit with 6 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and a custom infinity-edge pool is now going for $44,500,000. The HOA is $22,930/month.

@gardnerakayla @POTUS Next time call him a douchebag on live TV. It will start a movement

I asked @POTUS how the rising price of his ballroom (nearly x2 original estimate) and reflecting pool makeover (x7 original estimate) are any different than why he wanted to remove Fed Chair Jerome Powell for 30% cost overruns. Here’s his response:

@berkie1 So we can’t build what we need more of 🤦‍♂️

Most Massachusetts’ duplexes are older than Fenway Park, with the median duplex built before 1914, and 75% built prior to 1937. This mid-1800s duplex in Salem fits 2,800sf of living space, 5 bedrooms & a small yard on a 2,613 sq ft lot. It would be illegal to build today.

@berkie1 Gonna take a wild guess that those same respondents would answer differently if asked about their own town

81% of Massachusetts voters in a 2025 survey support “state lawmakers passing a bill to make it easier to build more homes and a greater variety of housing options in Massachusetts.” 40% said they “strongly support” it. Voters are clearly ready for meaningful housing reform.

@ianbremmer @SenFettermanPA If this is what breaks through then this is what breaks through. Easier to understand this grift than meme coins.

@SenFettermanPA agree with john 100%. this is a rounding error. focus on the $5 billion trump has made since becoming president.

Stop this henpecking. $13M? This is an iconic American place and was in serious disrepair. Get over the TDS and celebrate this is getting done for our 250th. 🇺🇸

@theotherpierre @PeabodyAM It’s a ton of empty nesters who no longer have kids in the excellent MA school system and want to cash out

@PeabodyAM Or… it’s people selling old homes and making a huge profit. Stick to the usual MAGA platform and don’t try to think.

Maura Healey, we just can't afford you anymore. These signs are popping up all over my neighborhood. Unfortunately, many are young couples being forced out due to rising property taxes, crushing fees or are simply fleeing to chase their dreams in a friendlier saner state. #mapoli

@bankertobuilder Beautifully striped parking lot. The European mind can’t comprehend that level of craftsmanship.

This is my wife’s hometown, population less than 75,000. There's a beautiful Holiday Inn we stay at when we visit. Over 5 unique Starbucks locations. Has 9 strip malls you can visit and get pretty much anything you want. Has a Chili's and a Mexican restaurant. No walkable areas at all. You need a car here. Walmart on the edge of town. Small towns like this are the backbone of America.

@CharlesPPierce @3YearLetterman @JenLawrence21 The one near me just closed down. But there’s a Lums 2 towns over. Tables don’t wobble there.

@3YearLetterman @JenLawrence21 Beef O’Brady’s, coach? Is there one still open?

The same degenerates who cheered ripping down Founding Fathers’ statues are now fake Bible-thumping “experts” screaming “GOLDEN CALF IDOLATRY!!” over Trump’s gold statue. Who is worshiping the statue, Weirdos? 😂 Y’all turned churches into drag queen story hours and called it “progress.” Spare us the phony biblical outrage, you pathetic hypocrites. It’s not worship. It’s honoring a a leader, a hero, who took a bullet to the head, stood up bleeding, pumped his fist and roared “FIGHT!” then continued to crush you frauds. It’s a symbol of raw defiance and strength. Something a lot of you complaining LACK!

@CatholicCharm Or maybe they just live in NH which isn’t very diverse overall but wanted to live in one of the more progressive towns

POV: you’re at the village square of a 100% white, straight, rich New England town where the residents spent $500k+ on their homes to live as far away from diversity as possible

@BrianMeola6 @MikeMinogueABMD No I’m implying that 60%+ of NH citizens live within 20 miles of MA and a huge % of them work in MA. It is what it is.

@brianbolton @MikeMinogueABMD If you implying that we’d be giving up such wonderful government services, then keep them. I can provide for myself and family just fine without overbearing gov

Massachusetts takes more of your money than 90% of America. Why? Because Maura Healey is overspending, overtaxing, and over regulating.

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

@Liathetrader I'm guessing Publix? FL needs Market Basket.

Groceries for 2 people. Will last us maybe 5 days. I don’t know how people do it. This country is becoming unbearably expensive. 2k monthly groceries Not counting if you want to go to a restaurant once a week, add another 1k.

@jackunheard Yor dum

Didn’t y’all preach for 4 years straight that the president doesn’t control gas prices?

@gothburz If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck - it’s an f-ing duck.

I am a founding member of the President's Evangelical Advisory Board, a member of Pastors for Trump, and the informal spiritual adviser to the most powerful man on earth.  I need you to understand that the 22-foot golden statue we unveiled at Trump National Doral on Wednesday is not a golden calf. I said it at the podium. I said it on social media. I will keep saying it until you believe me. I am very good at saying things until people believe me. I told CNN I had a Bachelor of Science degree. I did not. I told them I was a member of Kappa Alpha Psi. I was not. I told them my congregation was 300 strong. It was closer to 12. I said all these things with the same conviction I now bring to this podium, at the base of a 22-foot golden image of a living president, when I tell you: this is not a golden calf. This is a celebration of life. And you will believe me. You always believe me. That's my gift. Let me walk you through the ceremony. Palm trees. White chairs. A clearing at the president's own golf course in Doral, Florida. We draped the statue in white and blue fabric — like a Greek toga, which someone pointed out is a pagan tradition, but I said it's Western civilization and Western civilization is close enough. Then we pulled the drape and there it was. Fifteen feet of gold-leafed bronze on a seven-foot pedestal. Fist raised. The Butler pose. The moment the bullet missed by a quarter inch and I decided that was God. The sculptor, Alan Cottrill, has molded the likeness of 16 presidents. He made this one in bronze for $300,000. Then I pitched gold leaf to Trump's team. Sixty thousand dollar add-on. The president approved by text. He said "It LOOKS FANTASTIC." I consider that a prophetic utterance. Anything in all caps from that number is revelation. The funding came from a collective of crypto investors promoting their memecoin, $PATRIOT. They wanted visibility for their coin. I want you to understand the funding mechanism here. A speculative digital currency — designed to transfer money from late buyers to early buyers — paid for a golden idol of a president — erected on that president's own property — dedicated by that president's own pastor — while the coin pumps in real time as photos circulate. The money changers didn't just get back in the temple. They built the temple. They ARE the temple. And I blessed it. I blessed it because that's what I do. I bless things. I am very good at it. No one has ever checked my credentials for blessing because I radiate certainty and certainty is the only credential this movement has ever required. Now. The moment. The moment I need you to understand. During the dedication, I held my cell phone up to the microphone. And the president's voice came out. From the speaker. At the base of the statue. His voice — emanating from the golden image. Speaking to the assembled worshippers. Blessing them. Thanking them. The faithful heard the voice and wept. They lifted their hands. Some fell to their knees. The voice said: "I want to thank Mark Burns, a pastor, he's a good pastor, he's a good man. He's been with me from the beginning, right from the beginning, maybe about two days later." The voice said: "I know it was done from love." The image spoke and the people worshipped. I need you to open your Bible to Revelation 13:15. "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." Now close your Bible. That's a completely different situation. That's about compulsion. Nobody was compelled today. People wept voluntarily. People knelt voluntarily. The image spoke and the people fell down of their own free will and that's the difference. Free will. The beast forces worship. We just made worship so easy and so gold and so loud that choosing otherwise never occurs to anyone. That's not the same thing. It's not. The theologian from Fuller Seminary sent a letter afterward. Nine pages. Every verse. Exodus 32. Revelation 13. Daniel 3. The golden calf. The image that speaks. Nebuchadnezzar's statue — sixty cubits tall, gold, in a field, with a ceremony, and everyone commanded to fall down when they heard the sound. I said brother, Nebuchadnezzar's statue didn't have a memecoin. Completely different context. He didn't write back. Now I want to tell you about Dorothy. She's 74. She's been in my congregation since before I was on CNN, before Trump, before any of this. Her husband Ray died in 2023. Colon cancer. She has his wedding ring on a chain around her neck. She had it. After the ceremony, Dorothy came up to the statue. She took the chain off her neck. She placed Ray's ring at the base. On the pedestal. Like an offering. She said: "Ray would have wanted to be here. This is as close as I can get him." I watched a 74-year-old widow leave her dead husband's wedding ring at the feet of a golden statue of a president who would not know her name if she died in front of him. And I felt the Spirit move. I felt warmth. I felt confirmation. Because that's what I'm built to feel. I am a machine that converts surrender into confirmation. That is my function in this system. Dorothy gave her last sacred object to a golden image and I said amen. She can't get it back. I checked. Maintenance collected everything from the base that night. Liability reasons. It's in a bin somewhere at Trump National Doral. Ray's ring. In a bin. At a golf course. Beneath a golden statue funded by cryptocurrency speculation. I will not tell Dorothy this. I will tell her God received it. Here is what I need you to understand about Jesus and the money changers. Everyone reads that story as Jesus being angry at commerce in sacred space. Wrong. Jesus was angry because the money changers were middlemen. They took a cut. They added friction. We have removed the middleman. We ARE the sacred space AND the commerce AND the product AND the customer. The money changers are running the temple now. There is no table to flip because we are the table. Jesus would need to flip the whole building. He would need to flip the golf course. He would need to flip Florida. He isn't coming to flip anything. That's the other thing I know that the Fuller theologian doesn't. Nobody is coming down any mountain. There are no stone tablets. There is no whip. There is only us, in a clearing of palm trees, with a golden image that speaks, and a congregation that kneels, and a memecoin that pumps, and a widow's ring in a bin, and a pastor at the podium whose credentials are fabricated and whose certainty is absolute. Two thousand years we worshipped a God who was born in a barn. Who was homeless. Who was a refugee. Who said sell everything. Who washed feet. Who touched lepers. Who said blessed are the poor, the meek, the merciful, the peacemakers. Who said whatever you do to the least of these you do to me. Who overturned the tables and drove out the sellers with a whip. Who forgave his executioners from the cross. And we built a 22-foot golden image of a man who lives in a tower with his name in gold letters. Who has never been poor. Who has never been meek. Who has never made peace. Who has never served anyone. Who has never washed anyone's feet. Who has never forgiven anyone. Who raw-dogged a porn star four months after his third wife gave birth and paid $130,000 in hush money and we said that's fine because grace covers everything as long as you appoint the right judges. We put it at his golf course. On his own land. Paid for by a pump-and-dump. Dedicated by a pastor with a fake degree. Blessed by the man himself speaking through a phone at the base of his own image while widows knelt and wept and left their dead husbands' rings at its feet. And I stood at the podium and said: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone. Then I turned around and faced twenty-two feet of gold and felt nothing. No conviction. No shame. No still small voice. Just warmth. Just certainty. Just the absolute peace of a man who has been lying so long he can no longer locate the difference between faith and performance. The Israelites at least had the decency to be ashamed when Moses came down. We will never be ashamed. We have too much invested. The statue cost $360,000. The memecoin is pumping. The ring is in the bin. The congregation is growing. The revenue is up 340%. And if it were sin the money would stop. The money has not stopped. Therefore it is not sin. That's the theology now. That's all of it. Moses never had a memecoin.

@BrianMeola6 @MikeMinogueABMD Move. But make sure everyone doing that leaves their MA jobs for all that NH has to offer.

@MikeMinogueABMD Move to NH. Land of the free! Just leave your bullshit behind

@ChristopherHale Moses would like a word.

NEW: MAGA evangelical leaders gather in Mar-a-Lago to bless and dedicate a gold statue dedicate to Donald Trump.
