The rally, held at 1 Silber Way, was organized by Terrier Courage, a group that has collected more than 2,000 signatures on a petition urging the university to reconsider its rules on displays on public-facing windows and walls.

"Today, our Board took decisive action to protect what generations before us fought to build. These so-called prediction markets are an attempt to bypass tribal authority and recast gambling as a financial product. We will not allow that. We will stand united to defend tribal sovereignty and the integrity of Indian gaming."

That number represents roughly 7% of the state's land and waters. It also corresponds with the amount of land the federal government promised it would hold as reservations for Indigenous tribes after California joined the union in 1850. Congress ultimately rejected these treaties in a secret meeting - after pressure from the state - and failed to notify tribes, many of whom upheld their end of the agreement to relocate.

Within the workplace, the content and conditions of work are largely controlled by employers who often have an interest in degrading the quality of work, both to increase productivity and to increase their control over employees in the workplace. Outside the workplace, employers have both an incentive and the power to undermine measures that would improve the quality of work through the political process.

It's time we start using the tremendous wealth in this state to invest in people's needs.

Massachusetts is known for being one of the least transparent states in the country when it comes to the accessibility of public records. The governor, judiciary, and state lawmakers enjoy broad exemptions for compliance with public records requests. There are no independent statewide audits of compliance with public records law.

I was talking to [the two veterans] on the rope line, and we were just talking about like, this is just deja vu again, right? And there are so many Latino families right now that are seeing what's happening in Iran and they're like They're doing it again.

We are seeing online retailers that charge first-time parents more for baby products simply because the retailers know that the new parents are likely to pay more. We are seeing seniors getting upcharged while ordering groceries on the same day that they receive their benefits.

The legislation - which only applies to large oil companies - would impose a per-barrel tax "equal to 50% of the difference between the current price per barrel of oil and the average price per barrel last year, when big oil companies were already earning large profits."

More than one local Dem exclaimed "It's an election year!" when asked about Mamdani's brash demand Tuesday that Hochul and Albany either pass a 2% increase on millionaires - or he'd be "forced" to hit New Yorkers with a 9.5% property tax hike to balance the city's budget. "Middle class homeowners shouldn't be used as a bargaining chip," Queens Borough President Donovan Richards said in an interview.

She's put forward her proposal and we are as interested [as] anyone in making sure that we are not overcharged and subjected to fraud. So I believe we'll have a broader conversation. Yes, sir, [the governor should explain what promise there is insurance companies would actually lower their rates].

"From the moment Katie set foot in my consumer law class, I knew that she would be a warrior for working families," Warren said in a statement, citing Porter's work on the foreclosure crisis as well as her questioning of corporate leaders and members of the Trump administration while wielding a white board in hearings when she represented an Orange County district in Congress.

A global contest is escalating between democratic institutions governed by the rule of law and lawless dictators who seek to enrich themselves and their cronies. Here at home, President Trump's tariffs are driving up costs for families. Millions of Americans have lost their health insurance so that Republicans could fund tax breaks for rich people. ICE is sowing chaos and terror in our communities, resulting in the tragic killing of Renee Good in Minnesota.

Warren writes that she is worried OpenAI "has committed to more than a trillion dollars in spending despite not yet turning a profit" and "appears to be seeking government assistance should it prove unable to pay its bills."

So, for a solid year while he ran for president, Donald Trump promised pretty much every day that he was going to lower costs on day one if he was elected. Those were his words, not mine. So, Secretary Bessent, you are one of the president's top economic advisors. Let's just start with a little truth-telling about the Trump economy one year in. Affordability is the top concern for Americans across the country.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu was sworn in for her second term Monday, taking the stage inside Boston Symphony Hall to tout her administration's accomplishments over the past four years and to lay the groundwork for the next four. On the precipice of the nation's 250th anniversary, Wu delivered an inaugural address steeped in the history of the American Revolution. She framed the city's current work as a continuation of that original fight, casting Boston as a beacon of social connection in an era of isolation and as a bastion of democratic values under a federal government that sullies them.

Amid national furor over ICE tactics, Gov. Maura Healey has consistently railed against the agency and the Trump administration's broader immigration enforcement efforts. She filed legislation this week and signed an executive order aimed at reining in federal agents, saying that ICE is engaging in unlawful actions designed to stoke fear and destabilize communities.

Slotkin told the outlet that she learned about the investigation after the office of Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., sought an interview with her or her personal attorney. Pirro's office has yet to publicly comment on the reported probe. "Facts matter little, but the threat matters quite a bit," she told the Times. "The threat of legal action; the threat to your family; the threat to your staff; the threat to you."
