Just *16* out of 112 Massachusetts municipal police departments actually conducted required annual inspections of local gun stores.

The natural question: What is AG/governor-elect Maura Healey doing about it? So far, repeatedly declining the Globe's interview requests. #mapoli

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s January 6th comments at last night’s New York Young Republican Club Gala:

“I got to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, it would’ve been armed.”

Washington D.C. is introducing free bus fares to residents. Analysts say D.C.’s free fare system offers a good test case on how public transit can be reshaped for a post-pandemic future. https://t.co/FK8EIqhQE0

Like I vaguely remember it costing nearly $1k just for me to sign up for one of the better travel ball orgs in GA

[C.A. Gibson @itsDatKingCole]

Literally any travel ball sport that you want to excel at costs a small fortune.

My Dad probably would be sick if he could find and add up all the receipts from him buying me baseball gear and signing me up for camps and travel ball teams lol

[NPR @NPR]

Playing competitive youth soccer can cost families a small fortune, excluding kids who might excel at the sport. People around the country are trying to get more kids in the game. https://t.co/6E7p4Ivv0o

“A review of J.R.O.T.C. enrollment data collected from more than 200 public records requests showed that dozens of schools have made the program mandatory or steered more than 75 percent of students in a single grade into the classes”

History will not be kind to Kyrsten Sinema and neither should we.

Sinema followed through on her promise to make decisions by listening to business leaders.

Illinois requires media literacy to taught in HS, but NJ is first state to enact a media literacy curriculum starting in kindergarten. Our kids in MA need this too! Anyone working on this already? Anyone at the statehouse want to take this on? Sign me up to help! #mapoli #bospoli

Factory workers across the U.S. say they were exposed to asbestos on the job – sometimes for decades.

Their accounts contrast sharply with what chemical giants have said about worker safety at their facilities.

Kudos to the nonprofits here and shame especially on the elected officials who are validating their constituents' NIMBYism

Just got laid off from BuzzFeed and I’m truly heartbroken. I have so much passion for writing and to get this news right before Christmas is truly devastating. If anyone is looking for a writer—I’m available for hire. 🙁
