Under top-two primaries, parties can get locked out of a general election because of having too many candidates.
You’ll never believe how absurd the solution from Question 3’s backers is.
Vote no on 3.
Michigan, you deserve a better Senator than this epitome of corruption. democracynow.org/2026/10/20/…
Mike Rogers is truly an embodiment of everything people say they hate about politics.

Call him on (617) 332-3333 to let him know his silence on Trump's racist abuse of power is disgusting.
Jake Auchincloss is the only member of the MA delegation not on this. Shame on him.

Republican men are out here lusting for each other on stage every chance they get and then saying Talarico is gay because he ordered a taco without meat. Truly bizarre party.
Senate Majority @LeaderJohnThune (R-SD) calls Sen Bernie Moreno (R-OH) "eye candy" in response to the attention Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) has been receiving: "They both got it going on when it comes to that."
Maine, is this really who you want representing you in the US Senate? #Corruption #Maine #Billionaires #DarkMoney

Today marks the last day people can register to vote or update their registration before the general election in MA.
We should not have such a cutoff at all.
Vote YES on 4 to bring us in line with all the states that already allow Election Day Registration.

One giant health care company could own your doctor, your insurer, your pharmacy, AND your pharmacy benefit manager.
So, the same entity gives your prescription, fills your prescription, decides if your prescription is covered, and "negotiates" the cost of your prescription.
How is this allowed?
I've introduced the Break Up Big Medicine Act to stop health conglomerates from stacking the deck to maximize profits while patients pay more for worse care.
Massachusetts voters, Vote No on Ballot Question 3 to help ensure new candidates have a chance to challenge incumbents.
(A Yes vote will make $$ more important in our elections. That’s why the very wealthy support it.)
Mind-numbingly stupid for the Globe parrot the claim that jungle primaries will address the problem of the number of uncontested elections.
An election is only contested if a second candidate runs. Increasing the cost of the election deters candidate #2.

Fox wants to buy Roku — yes, the same Fox as Fox News.
This could let Fox steer their content to 80 MILLION U.S. households.
We can’t let this happen.

The Kennedy Center was a beloved Washington institution, enjoyed by millions of people. It has been destroyed for no real reason. Just vanity, carelessness, indifference.

.@NYTimes reports $1 BILLION in secret money flooding our elections.
Corporate donors hiding behind shell nonprofits.
Billionaires secretly picking our candidates.
This isn't democracy—it's corruption.
We need REAL campaign finance reform NOW.
Even though he'd never had an opponent in 20 yrs, Brownsberger has raised $1.5M during his time on Beacon Hill.
He had just under $200K when Lander, who had never held office, announced his run &the Mayor endorsed him in late June.
How is 50-50 anything but a win for Lander & Wu?
No surprise, it's the incumbents that get re-elected ad infinitum that are against making this change.
Imagine how much Lander would've won by if voters actually knew about this. h/t @leung
A race between state Sen. William Brownsberger and Daniel Lander, a former senior aide to Mayor Michelle Wu, remained too close to call as Wu seeks to notch a victory by ousting the Senate leader for helping to kill her tax bill. bostonherald.com/2026/09/02/…
