Sheesh, you can run for Town Meeting (and win!) in Brookline for less than the cost of a roll of stamps.
Local elections shape our communities, but when one candidate can outspend everyone else by $240K, it shows why we need to keep fighting to get big money out of politics. Local elections shouldn’t be for sale.
Tech guy sinks $250K into Seattle suburb’s council elections
Jeff Lyon's spending is extraordinary, especially in a city of less than 10,000 voters where the biggest news in recent years was the closure of a garden store.

Elections have outcomes!
Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.
Trump was the loser from the first pitch, with either California or Canada finishing on top. (Newsom should invite both teams to a celebration.)
An all time classic World Series. It’s a shame someone had to lose.

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

Walkable city baseball edition:
Andrés Giménez on how you get the feeling of a city by walking it.
Brookline's Advisory Committee has been talking about it. A resolution on the subject comes to Brookline Town Meeting in just a few weeks.
The person who is currently running our country has lost his mind and it’s time we start talking about it.
Trump said he has instructed the Defense Department to “prepare for possible action” in Nigeria over the country’s alleged killing of Christians.
Brookline Town Meeting will be taking up the question of Trump's competence in just a few weeks.
At some point we might have to consider the fact that he might be mentally unstable.

It’s between Canada and California. Trump loses either way.
Hopefully the BlueJays will win tonight and win the World Series. I know it will piss off the Convicted FElon. Let's go Toronto‼️

Millions of Americans, including thousands of El Pasoans, will be going hungry starting tomorrow because the president is choosing not to use $6 billion in available emergency SNAP funding.

Instead, his focus is on his White House renovations.

Nothing like holding a gilded Gatsby party while killing the food lifeline for 40 million people.

Trump is at the Halloween party at MAL

“Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.”
