Last night, we saw how Trump plays fast and loose with the truth. A great opportunity to point out how candidates in MA can also be heavily disingenuous in how they talk about policy and votes. Case study: this mailer from Somerville candidate Kathleen Hornby

Friend was traveling & wanted to visit - I declined because they don’t take Covid precautions. They get home & tell me “omg I’m so sick - it’s a good thing we didn’t visit as this would kill you.” I asked if they considered the other people like me they exposed on travels. A 🧵/1

.@SpeakerJohnson thank you for providing an increase in SNAP so all Americans in need will be able to eat and also for supporting Universal School Lunch. You can not multiply fishes and loaves but you can support the policies to make something similar happen! Jesus will be so proud
Speaker Mike Johnson tonight: “Someone asked me today in the media, ‘People are curious, what does Mike Johnson think about any issue?’ I said, ‘Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That’s my worldview.”

Meanwhile in Florida, a woman, unable to get an abortion due to DeSantis’ deadly anti-abortion laws had to carry to term a baby that was found to have no kidneys at 24 weeks. I’ll say that part again, no kidneys and was forced to carry the baby for an additional 13 weeks until she gave birth. Deborah Dorbert’s son Milo died in her arms on March 3, shortly after birth just like the doctors said would happen. Forced to carry, knowing there was no chance of survival. Then watching a baby gasp for air and die. What part of that scenario is pro-life? The walking around for 13 weeks knowing your baby is going to die? Oh wait, is it the part where the baby took one breath and died? DeSantis chases woke while real-life consequences are happening “death on delivery.” That’s not governing it’s torture. #FreshResists #FreshVotesBlue

I have been asked to post my Locus Award acceptance video. This is what I threw together because I was pushing up against the deadline and figured they'd never need to play it.

If you’re ever wondering why the next 40 years are sucking, remember a former game show host indicted for felony espionage appointed one third of the Supreme Court

34 percent of Harvard students are white. 43 percent of those students are either legacies, children of faculty, kin of donors or a recruited athlete. 75 percent of them would not have gotten in if not for special status (National Bureau of Economic Research). But when in doubt, blame the Black people!

I hope that this is the last time I need to post my legal defense fund GFM link. I'm expecting a whopper of a final lawyer bill in the next couple of weeks, but note the words FINAL LAWYER BILL. 🎉🎉🎉 If you're able to contribute or boost, please do? gofundme.com/f/uc4wb-help-cr…

FYI Democrats this is an opportunity to re-emphasize that Republicans are perfectly happy to be in league with a criminal bigot and not an opportunity for more useless “will no republicans stand up to him?” posturing
