Late-night service is coming to the T. Effective August 24, we're extending service by ~1 hour on subway and 8 frequent bus routes on Fridays & Saturdays with 5 frequent bus routes running extended service every day. All modes will be free after 9pm for five Fridays & Saturdays.
Promoting clean energy *is* in the plan because it lowers energy bills, creates jobs, and reduces air pollution.
Not communism, but actually just common sense.
This is communism. Boston Mayor Wu issues her climate change plan: Ban gas stoves & SUVs; promote wind energy & phase out fossil fuels; gov't surveillance to "track" the miles you drive in your vehicle; homes measured & scored on "climate compliance." Get out of Boston! #mapoli
This is what progress looks like. 🛝
For the first time in my hometown’s history, @HVRSD secured $125k in @NJGov State Budget funding.
As Chair of my school board’s Gov’t Relations Committee, I am proud to have led this initiative.

In less than 4 years, Boston Community Choice Electricity has saved our families:
💰 $200/year vs. Eversource
💰 $700/year vs. a third-party electricity supplier
BCCE makes affordable, renewable electricity a reality for countless Boston families.
City Hall is steering most Bostonians into a more expensive electricity plan by default — and few seem to know they could save about $65 a year just by selecting the city’s cheaper rate. https://t.co/jMwDF638yb
Is it possible to ~impartially~ be a massive developer and the mayor of a major city overseeing development? Even if you refuse yourself from decisions, the regulators still work for you…

The horror of…*checks notes*…trees and local jobs.
The City Council should approve this grant without delay, especially in the face of a changing federal administration.
I asked for a vote to pass a $11M federal grant to provide more trees & the workforce to plant them. Unfortunately, a colleague tried to block this $ from our communities. It’s a sad day when we have to justify tree investments in the face of potential federal cuts to our city.
to the extent there’s connective tissue between the Dems who considerably outperformed Harris in competitive districts/states (Gallego, Gluesenkamp Perez, Ryan) it seems they all championed progressive policies while wrapping themselves in conservative cultural coding.
Thanks to @CopyrightOffice, McDonald’s franchisees now have the right to repair their own ice cream machines.
In March @FTC filed a comment in support of this change, and we’ll keep using our tools to protect people’s right to repair.
