🔬New paper! This has been my personal favorite project I’ve ever done - also, the only one that the President of the United States has tried to destroy by 100% defunding our lab & institution. Please enjoy: https://t.co/oNtb1cB9kH

[Maggie Haberman @maggieNYT]

In private, Trump has said in conversations that Gaetz has less than even odds of getting confirmed. But he's pushing ahead, making calls and sticking with him in a move that speaks volumes about his second-term mindset @jonathanvswan me https://t.co/2WPNzh0kLJ

🤯Unreal…for the second time this week, I’m posting a video of jaw-dropping progress for safer streets: the new bike lanes on Washington St. are like a dream come true. This ride is from Beacon up towards Union Square, ending right at the Argenziano School. @SomervilleInfr1

[Somerville Infrastructure @SomervilleInfr1]

🟩paint coming soon on Summer Street, but you can see the connectivity for the new cycle track heading west on Summer Street and then making a right on Central Street. #bikenetwork

[Ben Ewen-Campen @BenForWard3]

The new protected bike lanes on Summer St. and Central St. are really extraordinary. Very much still under construction, but this gives a taste of what safe neighborhood cycling will be as our bike network continues to expand. @SomervilleInfr1 @SomervilleCity

Hell yes, @BenForWard3.

Good news for Somerville: Question 6 won big, which means more money for affordable housing, open space and preserving history.

Somerville voted Yes overwhelmingly on all ballot questions. Unofficial City results👇
