Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
Massachusetts is now the first state to certify a rideshare driver union after granting Lyft and Uber drivers' collective bargaining rights.
This is the largest new private-sector union in over 85 years.
70,000 workers are now represented by the App Drivers Union.
Jake Auchincloss:
-voted for the Moskowitz bill prohibiting the State Department from citing Gaza Health Ministry death figures
-released a statement characterizing as a “modern-day pogrom” an episode during which Dutch locals attacked visiting Jewish supremacist soccer fans after the latter spent the weekend burning and vandalizing Palestinian flags while storming the streets of Amsterdam chanting “There are no schools in Gaza, for there are no children left”
-publicly rebuked Amnesty International's 296-page “misleading and false report” compiling the evidence that led the organization to conclude in mid-2024 that Israel was guilty of genocide
-on September 26, 2025 demanded Marco Rubio take swift action to "end Hamas's war on Israel" & said Hamas was "singularly responsible for atrocities in the Middle East right now."
-is in other words, another in a long line of liberal coded Holocaust deniers cynically exploiting the memory of one genocide to prolong another that has already lasted nearly three years, even at the risk of prolonging the violence and plunder of Trump's clique of kleptomaxxers. Did I mention he's an abundance bro? Move to Israel Jake.
Lying in a legal briefing would get you disbarred as a regular lawyer. But when you’re an unelected, lifetime appointee with powers to write decisions that completely undo & remake the Constitution, the decision gets to stand & you get to keep your lifetime position. Outrageous.
Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.
The @BostonGlobe opinion page this morning is headlined by white supremacist Richard Hanania, whose racist views have been smoothed over in recent months by centrists
You can't reform slave patrols. You can't reform secret police. You can't reform brownshirts. You can't reform the SS. You can't reform a white supremacist army.
Just defund these murdering fascist fuckers without diluting your moral decision in squishy appeals for "reforms."
The FBI has raided landlord giant Cortland Management over algorithmic price-fixing collusion.
Cortland is allegedly part of a bigger conspiracy coordinated by software firm RealPage to raise rents across the country through price-fixing and keeping apartments empty.
This appears to be one of the biggest crimes in modern history. For context, if the FTC's investigation is accurate, this single crime costs people at least 10 times the amount of all property crime combined according to the FBI.
The saga of the #Sacklers, a multigenerational billionaire crime family of murdering dope-peddlers, is an enraging parable about how the wealthy, the courts, and sadistic high-powered lawyers collude to destroy the lives of millions, profit handsomely, and evade justice.

Bro not even the Ku Klux Klan members who lynched him accused him of any of that shit. Y’all are just making shit up about at murdered 14 year boy old from 1955.
Elon took over Twitter and new breeds of racism are popping up like new strands of Covid in 2021
Most Globe commenters have strong opinions. What makes “Interested Party” different? The calls are coming from inside the house.
A commenter who relishes attacking Mayor Wu & most of the City Council does the bashing on a shared Council account #bospoli
