The same day she's getting endorsed by David Ortiz, Mayor Wu throws a heater of a statement at challenger Josh Kraft

[Ari Drennen @AriDrennen]

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

Michael was homeless for 520 days. His life started to change when he connected with Pine Street's outreach team, & his caseworker helped him secure housing at Pine Street’s newest residence. Now he is in recovery & recently got a job with @CityOfBoston. https://t.co/PJDcdh5Q4j

[Asma Khalid @asmamk]

This is your must-listen for today.

Michel was polite and persistent. Relentless sharp follow-ups.

Today was the grand opening of Pine Street's newest residence in Jamaica Plain! "Every single bit of this is a community effort," said Lyndia Downie, Pine Street’s president and executive director.

[MayorWu @MayorWu]

To every one of my neighbors back in Boston, know this: You belong here. This is your home. Boston es tu hogar. Boston se lakay ou. 這是你的家.

This is our city.

We are the safest major city in the nation because we are safe for everyone.

Shame on Tom Homan for lying about the City of Boston.

BREAKING: A federal judge pauses President Trump’s order aimed at restricting gender-affirming health care for transgender youth. https://t.co/U9v7JlZws9

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

No one elected Elon Musk.

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.

We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

[Congressional Equality Caucus @EqualityCaucus]

"Trump’s censorship of information about trans people and other resources for LGBTQI+ people is just the latest part of his crusade to undermine the health, wellbeing, and civil rights of transgender people, as well as LGBTQI+ people and minorities more broadly." -@RepMarkTakano

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.

[Boston Public Works @BostonPWD]

After being damaged, our Street Lighting Division is resetting a light pole in #EglestonSquare. In addition to maintaining 71,000 electric streetlights & 2800 gas lights, the Street Lighting team has personnel available 24/7/365 to respond to any emergency in the @CityOfBoston.

[BostonTeachersUnion @BTU66]

A few pics from today's powerful demonstration of unity by 1000s of BTU members. Across Boston educators held informational pickets to highlight the contract vision we've proposed to @BostonSchools to improve our schools. Thank you @ben4district6 & @SamvMontano for the support!

[JP Centre/South Main Streets @JP_CentreSouth]

So excited for @jaduboston Grand Opening! Maya has put her heart and soul into opening this #smallbusiness and we're ecstatic about her success! #JamaicaPlain #boston #shopsmall #supportlocal #mainstreets

[Congressional Equality Caucus @EqualityCaucus]

Today, SCOTUS will hear arguments in US v. Skrmetti, a case that will decide the constitutionality of bans on necessary healthcare for trans people.

We again urge the Court to protect trans Americans' rights & strike down Tennessee's ban.

@VickiInBoston I think it’s funny how the drama on the council last session was attributed to the black and brown lefty councilors and this year it’s silence in the media about this drama

[Jesse Mermell @jessemermell]

Twenty years ago (😬) I took over as Executive Director of the Mass. Women’s Political Caucus, so it was extra special to be back with my @MWPC family - and with so many #mapoli friends - tonight at the annual Abigail Adams Awards!

[Samantha Montaño @SamvMontano]

Anyone who thinks we lost because Dems support trans kids playing sports with friends clearly isn’t connected to folks on the ground.

[Boston Globe Opinion @GlobeOpinion]

Trans kids weren’t on the ballot — our approach as Democrats was, write @DallasDucar, @JulianCyr, and @SamvMontano. For Representative Seth Moulton to suggest trans kids “lost” this election is simply wrong and a cowardly take on why Democrats lost. https://t.co/1heGOOWgIc
