BREAKING: In an epic trolling, California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office posted a video of Emperor Palpatine reciting Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about L.A.

Let’s blast this to space!

Today, Boston honors the extraordinary life and enduring legacy of His Holiness Pope Francis—spiritual leader, global advocate for the poor and marginalized, and a moral force in the fight for climate justice.

CAMPAIGN CASH: Mayor Wu's reelect campaign reported raising $308K in March, per filing

Brings total cash on hand to $1.99M

Filing does not include the massive in-kind donations from GOP, in the form of Capitol Hill and White House attacks

[Rahm Emanuel @RahmEmanuel]

Spring break is almost over. Heck of a job, Vancey, posing in a parka on a frozen island. Meanwhile back here in America the Trump Administration has broken Social Security, leaving seniors out in the cold and IRS checks frozen. They care more about Greenland than Grandma.

‘Give ‘em hell Michelle’: Mayor Wu stayed calm and combative during her first congressional hearing on immigration https://t.co/hRIdY0LXGc

MY Mayor! @wutrain couldn’t have fought harder for Boston and the principles that make our country great. Thank you for fighting for us, Mayor Wu! https://t.co/s7B7FdKKfF

Watch this incredible @MayorWu testifying yesterday on the community collaboration to make Boston, City of Immigrants, safe and thriving. https://t.co/hiAqSUC6dy via @YouTube

[Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley]

Proud to introduce @MayorWu at today's @OversightDems hearing.

She is an innovative and inclusive leader who is making Boston a welcoming city for folks from every walk of life.

[Alex Goldstein @alexjgoldstein]

This was a moment.

[MayorWu @MayorWu]

Boston doesn’t listen to kings.

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

It’s a fact that Boston is the safest major city in the nation — in part, because of the strong relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

Take notes, @HouseGOP. If you’re serious about keeping Americans safe, you should listen to @MayorWu.

[Art Candee 🍿🥤 @ArtCandee]

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at the House hearing on sanctuary cities:

"If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe."

Mic drop!

[MayorWu @MayorWu]

If Republicans in Congress want to help make our country safe, I have some ideas for them.

[Niki Griswold @nikigriswold]

NOW: A crowd of more than 100, led by several City Councilors and advocacy groups, shows their support for Mayor Michelle Wu as she testifies before Congress to defend the city’s immigration and public safety policies. #bospoli #mapoli

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu struck a defiant tone in her prepared remarks for a House hearing on immigration enforcement, defending the city’s approach and criticizing the Trump administration’s push to deport undocumented immigrants.

[Adam Reilly @reillyadam]

@GBHNews @MayorWu @RepPressley @RepLynch Another strong moment for Wu, telling Paul Gosar he’s trafficking in a false narrative about the dangers posed by immigrants and then pleading for comprehensive immigration reform. And Gosar just kind of…stopped? #mapoli #bospoli @gbhnews

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

Eggs and coffee around 20 percent more expensive. Airplanes crashing. Mass layoffs. Tariffs. Data breaches. Shutting down energy projects. Letting food and medicine rot. Either they are really shitty at helping you, or you are not the one they want to help.

[Mike Firestone @FirestoneMike]

Thoughtful ideas to consider at every level of government. Excellent piece by @brhodes on the path forward.

[Lindsay Owens @owenslindsay1]

There are many unknowns about exactly how a second Trump term will play out and precisely which types of chaos it will bring about.

One thing is certain: it will start with tax cuts for Musk and his billionaire boys club. My latest for @RollingStone.
