Anybody interested in tracking the rising temperature of the U.S. Senate primary featuring incumbent Ed Markey and Rep. Seth Moulton would do well to look at a government watchdog jumping into the fray with a critique of a “dark money” group.

For all the talk of a new and improved MBTA, Massachusetts voters appear to be less than sanguine about the state of the public transit system, according to a new poll that also has Gov. Maura Healey with an underwater approval rating.

Political conflict is often driven by time and money. The GOP primary for governor has all three things these days, with a former Reebok executive cutting a check to help fuel some of the fighting. #MAPoli

If the Legislature had run the Boston Marathon this week, it would probably still be stuck in Hopkinton — with school vacation week grinding legislative activity nearly to a halt. #MAPoli

I chatted with Bill Weld as the event wrapped up

“I know a few [Weld Republicans] who are still alive, and they’re just keeping under cover for a little bit longer,” he said

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is coming back to Boston to help Ayanna Pressley. Pressley’s reelection campaign is fundraising off a “fireside chat” with AOC, set for Friday. Access to the evening event costs $60 for general admission and $250 for a “meet and greet.” #MAPoli

NEW: Just before the Celtics' tip-off, Gov. Healey’s office announced she signed a cannabis reform bill shrinking the CCC from 5 to 3 members. The law gives the governor sole appointment power, stripping the Treasurer and AG of the authority they’ve held since 2017. #MAPoli

As Massachusetts residents face a deadline to file their IRS returns, the campaign pushing a state income tax cut is launching a digital ad campaign and three websites to promote its proposed ballot question. #MAPoli

Time stops for no man, and the 16 years since Scott Brown’s upset may have eroded some of his strengths. He was a fresh face in '10 with a triumphant life story and an array of props. But polling has him lagging behind John Sununu, writes @kelleratlarge. https://t.co/7aNViOikBc

God has a super PAC?

“The Auditor has continually made false claims in the press while not doing the work of answering the questions posed to her by the Senate. This inflammatory language is a prime example of why the Senate believes she is incapable of an independent audit, even if such an audit was possible under our Constitution.”
