George H.W. Bush's letter to Bill Clinton. Inauguration Day 1993.

May #Bush41 rest in peace. A dignified statesman.

His friendship with @danacarvey exemplifies a virtue that too many our leaders lack today -- humility.

#mapoli spent over $35,000,00 for Courts to make audio hearings available (at $10 a pop) on https://t.co/6c4D59HzVj

Labor cost for IT to set up folders on https://t.co/GQb29Cg5G7 servers for clerks to plop audio files in (which would be easier than using this site): $16.73

🤦🏼‍♂️

@uber supports it because their drivers would bear the cost 🤭

Why not tax Uber directly?

Imagine an admin assistant who moved out of the city due to unaffordable rents, cannot rely on the T, and must pay higher rates to drive with no control of work schedule 🤔

⭐️ to @massago and @BillGalvin4MA on public records victory!

(an aside: Secretary Galvin's efforts to promote transparency is underrated)

I have suspected that @MassGovernor may not finish his second term 😅

For a @TulaneNews of the North alum, impressed @joekennedy adopted Prof @JamesCarville's timeless wisdom: it's the Economy!

Push economic empowerment too: Own a biz, Unionize, or be called Doctor; 4th choice invites economic vulnerability. IMHO.

Best of luck to #mapoli & #MA3 candidates tonight. Thank you for improving our community.

Baseless complaint. No quid-pro-quo - @elizabethforma's vote not influenced.

Fundraising & promising votes on key issues is what all pols do. That's ok.

Different if someone campaigns against issue then flip-flops right after receiving benefits from issue supporter.

From @Joan_Vennochi: Weekends with John Burke were Journalism 101. https://t.co/RUcHllWk05

@GlobeOpinion That's thirteen @MassNurses for four execs -- whose pay was inadvertently omitted 🤫

I appreciate why Edward Moore is voting the way he is...

[Brian Wells @_brianwells]

I'd fault @Joan_Vennochi and @GlobeScotLehigh for omitting facts this week, but @SenWarren does not say it enough herself:

"Harvard hired me because [??]" - the blank is impressive and imperative to good governing. The folks in Iowa would likely agree.

@UrbanBooster Louisiana is a fine state, indeed.

But this tweet reveals your Connecticut roots—such hubris would not be found on the bayou.

[Brian Wells @_brianwells]

@elizabethforma better to respond to voters than the Donald. His goal is distraction.

The more time you spend here, the less time you spend promoting policy goals that people should hear.

@jay4ma — #mapoli could match Seoul’s system in 6-8 years...if this goal was set.

If your campaign also retained @psy_oppa to promote a #mbta goes #GangnamStyle vision, November = auspicious.

.@Joan_Vennochi via @GlobeOpinion: The Seoul subway system is as old as the Orange Line. Why is it so much faster and more efficient? https://t.co/vV0d54oNV1

Wonder if members of the @dc_bar are obligated to report #Kavanaugh's testimony re drinking 🤔

(See, e.g., Rules 3.3, 8.3 & 8.4)

Reliable and efficient public transit must be part of the solution.

Worcester to Boston could easily be a 30 minute train ride. That would ease this shortage while revitalizing areas facing the opposite issue.

I wish Chris Farley were still with us to impersonate Attorney Mitchell.
