That will bring BU’s total yearly contribution to the city to about $22.3 million in fiscal year 2030, a 19 percent jump from the $18.7 million the university paid in fiscal year 2025, according to the city’s latest PILOT data. The deal is also the first written PILOT agreement between the city and BU in more than 25 years, Wu’s office said Tuesday.

Seth Moulton calls himself a progressive now, but has condemned socialism and opposed progressive policies like the Fair Share Amendment and Medicare for All. What does it mean to be a progressive senator?

Sadly, Moulton seems unconcerned about the increasing influence of private equity and other corporate health care companies on the care of veterans outsourced to the private sector through the MISSION Act. To better understand what Moulton’s proposal for a supposedly more workable “public option” for veterans might look like—and how it might differ from the VA’s existing nationwide public health care system—the Prospect contacted Moulton’s campaign, by email and phone. We also sought further information about his own personal experience as a VA patient, which in a Boston Globe interview more than a decade ago, he claimed was bad. No one, including his press secretary, ever responded.

CryInternational4892 • 20h I'm not a Markey fan by any stretch of the imagination - voted & volunteered for Kennedy in 2020 - but I'm voting for him this time because Moulton is everything we shouldn't want in a Senator. It's been documented that he changes positions based on campaign needs (no backbone) and he profits in the market on companies regulated by the committees he sits on. So l'm voting old guy with right positions than young opportunistic guy.
Ed Markey speaks at a Massachusetts Senate debate
Comment from Mike Gelt on the Erin in the Morning Substack: The Massachusetts Democratic primary is a test of character, not political convenience. In my opinion, Representative Seth Moulton has shown that his support for the transgender community depends on the political climate rather than on principle. When standing up for transgender Americans becomes difficult, that's when true allies are revealed. Senator Ed Markey has consistently stood with the LGBTQ+ community and defended transgender rights, even when doing so drew political criticism. That is what leadership looks like. If transgender rights matter to you, this primary cannot be treated as just another election. It is a choice between consistency and political calculation. In my opinion, defeating Moulton in the primary would send a clear message that the transgender community and its allies expect unwavering support—not campaign-season promises or shifting positions when the political winds change. The community deserves leaders who fight for their rights every day, not only when it's politically safe.

The intrigue: Markey's campaign claims Moulton has financial holdings between $3.1 million and $15.2 million tied to firms with military contracts and Army partnerships that could have business before Congress.

Quote from press release introducing Markey’s Judiciary Act "Republicans stole the Court's majority, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation completing their crime spree," said Senator Markey. "Of all the damage Donald Trump did to our Constitution, this stands as one of his greatest travesties. Senate Republicans have politicized the Supreme Court, undermined its legitimacy, and threatened the rights of millions of Americans, especially people of color, women, and our immigrant communities. This legislation will restore the Court's balance and public standing and begin to repair the damage done to our judiciary and democracy, and we should abolish the filibuster to ensure we can pass it. I thank Chairman Nadler, and Reps. Johnson and Jones for their partnership on this legislation that will ensure the Supreme Court reflects the value of equal justice under law, not politics."

At all hours of the day, all year long, the tall metal tube calls to them. Tourists walking the Freedom Trail line up for a chance to launch down its twists and turns. Boston Marathon runners cross the finish line, then descend it, still wearing their race jackets. So have hundreds of Scots, here for the World Cup, among them a bagpiper tootling "Scotland the Brave."
