@GerryCallahan More reason to vote republican

“We pay taxes, for what?” What do you mean? You live in Massachusetts. You pay taxes so illegal aliens can have hotel rooms, free health care, uber rides, lawyers, translators and $64 a day for food. Silly woman.

@MikeMinogueABMD More money in peoples pockets allows them to spend more on the things *they* want - increasing the state sales tax… go figure 🤔

Let taxpayers keep more of THEIR money. Our one party system is fighting to keep your money but refuses to be AUDITED. MA has 8 taxes and already takes more of your income than 90% of America. I support this ballot question to lower YOUR taxes! salemnews-cnhi.newsmemory.com/?publink=25f68…

@MarcTLombardo @MassGovernor 100% about kicking the can down the road, buying some votes and not pursuing a sane “all of the above” energy policy

This is an absolute joke. Instead of repealing the climate scam mandates that are causing exploding energy costs, @MassGovernor is using tax dollars to artificially bandaid bills for a couple of months - money which was received through the utility companies (ratepayers) due to mandates! She is giving you back your own money and wants a thank you for it! Repeal the mandates!

@stoolpresidente Was an absurd call. He caught it

This was called an interception and it ended the Bills season. What did Bills fans do to deserve this torture?

@RepLuna it just looks bad in a time when republicans need to keep and grow the majority - we should do THAT and then circle back to these types of needed reforms and oversight

In July 2025, I formally referred Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to the Department of Justice for potential perjury and false statements to Congress and senior administration officials. I laid out, in detail, how Jerome Powell lied under oath to Congress and misrepresented facts in official communications to senior administration officials, including OMB Director Russell Vought. Unelected bureaucrats do not get a free pass. This is exactly why oversight exists, and I am thankful the @DOJ is taking this seriously. No one is above the law.

Sadly most public schools are like this - replete with "Oppressor/Oppressed" dialogue teaching Critical Theory and not critical thinking.

My children’s schools are a place for students to be educated not a “site of resistance” for spoiled, childless, trust fund socialists to push their shitty ideas. These people are unbearable.

Friends- This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I’ll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die. Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence. But I already had a death sentence before last week too — we all do. I’m blessed with amazing siblings and half-a-dozen buddies that are genuinely brothers. As one of them put it, “Sure, you’re on the clock, but we’re all on the clock.” Death is a wicked thief, and the bastard pursues us all. Still, I’ve got less time than I’d prefer. This is hard for someone wired to work and build, but harder still as a husband and a dad. I can’t begin to describe how great my people are. During the past year, as we’d temporarily stepped back from public life and built new family rhythms, Melissa and I have grown even closer — and that on top of three decades of the best friend a man could ever have. Seven months ago, Corrie was commissioned into the Air Force and she’s off at instrument and multi-engine rounds of flight school. Last week, Alex kicked butt graduating from college a semester early even while teaching gen chem, organic, and physics (she’s a freak). This summer, 14-year-old Breck started learning to drive. (Okay, we’ve been driving off-book for six years — but now we’ve got paper to make it street-legal.) I couldn’t be more grateful to constantly get to bear-hug this motley crew of sinners and saints. There’s not a good time to tell your peeps you’re now marching to the beat of a faster drummer — but the season of advent isn’t the worst. As a Christian, the weeks running up to Christmas are a time to orient our hearts toward the hope of what’s to come. Not an abstract hope in fanciful human goodness; not hope in vague hallmark-sappy spirituality; not a bootstrapped hope in our own strength (what foolishness is the evaporating-muscle I once prided myself in). Nope — often we lazily say “hope” when what we mean is “optimism.” To be clear, optimism is great, and it’s absolutely necessary, but it’s insufficient. It’s not the kinda thing that holds up when you tell your daughters you’re not going to walk them down the aisle. Nor telling your mom and pops they’re gonna bury their son. A well-lived life demands more reality — stiffer stuff. That’s why, during advent, even while still walking in darkness, we shout our hope — often properly with a gravelly voice soldiering through tears. Such is the calling of the pilgrim. Those who know ourselves to need a Physician should dang well look forward to enduring beauty and eventual fulfillment. That is, we hope in a real Deliverer — a rescuing God, born at a real time, in a real place. But the eternal city — with foundations and without cancer — is not yet. Remembering Isaiah’s prophecies of what’s to come doesn’t dull the pain of current sufferings. But it does put it in eternity’s perspective: “When we've been there 10,000 years…We've no less days to sing God's praise.” I’ll have more to say. I’m not going down without a fight. One sub-part of God’s grace is found in the jawdropping advances science has made the past few years in immunotherapy and more. Death and dying aren’t the same — the process of dying is still something to be lived. We’re zealously embracing a lot of gallows humor in our house, and I’ve pledged to do my part to run through the irreverent tape. But for now, as our family faces the reality of treatments, but more importantly as we celebrate Christmas, we wish you peace: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned….For to us a son is given” (Isaiah 9). With great gratitude, and with gravelly-but-hopeful voices, Ben — and the Sasses

@PatrickMahomes Thanks for being a stand up guy, wishing you a speedy recovery. God bless!!

Don’t know why this had to happen. And not going to lie it’s hurts. But all we can do now is Trust in God and attack every single day over and over again. Thank you Chiefs kingdom for always supporting me and for everyone who has reached out and sent prayers. I Will be back stronger than ever ⏰

@conorsen @mikesimonsen Agree, plenty of housing if you’re willing to move…now if we could just get the big corporations to go all in on full remote work again…🤔

Nationally, housing inventory should return to 2017 levels in 2026 according to Compass (@mikesimonsen), and I agree. There’s just no longer a shortage of housing at a national level: youtu.be/ApB4v5T8pgw?si…

@MassFiscal I mean $800 million on shelters for migrants would be a lot of money in local aid...

Dear @POTUS Trump, We love you and support you— but your suggestion to buy beef from Argentina to stabilize beef prices would be an absolute betrayal to the American cattle rancher. We understand there are larger economic and geopolitical dynamics at play, including countering CCP influence in countries in our hemisphere. But the practice of solving problems “over there” before solving problems here on our soil is what contributed to the downfall of our country: Americans always come last. We understand beef prices are high, and we admire your concern for all Americans, but this is not the fault of the American producer. This is the fault of politicians who have allowed BRICS-aligned entities to dominate the meat industry, that participate in price fixing and who also continually lie to their consumers. Washington for decades has facilitated the squeezing of our own ranchers while allowing these entities to flood the market with cheaper, lower-quality imports -- and the American people don't even know these products are foreign because they are allowed to be marked as “Product of the USA”. On top of all this—there is only chaos coming from the Department of Agriculture. There is no true guidance, mixed messaging, and a copious amount of photo ops. There is no one to trust over there that truly understands the issues and isn’t bought out by or aligned with Big Industries. The American cattle rancher is one of the last symbols of independence we have in the nation—but the continued manipulation and betrayal by the very people who claim to support them, needs to end immediately. While only representing 1% of the population, the work is tireless, daily, in poor conditions, with low margins, without thanks— all in order to keep this country fed. We would be a failed nation if we continue to betray the very people who put food on the table for us. There are so many voices on the outside that support you and want to see you succeed. Maybe it’s time to start listening to them. Your team knows how to get in touch with us. Sincerely, Meriwether Farms

@RjeyTech I did as well and for some reason got a 9/25 delivery date - even though I ordered literally at 8:01AM EST

Looks like no one bought the Blue iPhone 17 Pro 😅

@dlnt This sucks, again - company not innovating just slicing up their existing offerings and charging you more money

@Scavino47 pretty awesome power move right there...

HAPPENING NOW!

@ShortsleeveMA 100% support this, stop the “mass save” scam. Also let’s support building more energy infrastructure and increase our supplies.

Ouch! I'm shocked every time I read my bill. The biggest problem we have right now are the Healey fees within the bills. As the next Governor, I am going to pull the cord on the fees. bostonherald.com/2025/08/01/mas… #magov #mapoli

@MassFiscal yet marijuana remains legal...crazy

Massachusetts lawmakers want to ban all future adults from ever buying any nicotine products-- even alternatives like ZYN. This isn't about protecting kids. It's a sweeping assault on adult liberties. 📰 Must-read op-ed: telegram.com/story/opinion/…
