I am deeply grateful for the trust President Trump placed in me and for the opportunity to lead @ODNIgov for the last year and a half. Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.

Net migration has fallen 82%. I promised to restore control to our borders. My government is delivering. I know there’s more to do, we’re introducing a skills-based migration system that rewards contribution and ends our reliance on cheap overseas workers.

Every infectious disease is one plane ride away from the U.S. Preventing disease in foreign countries WAS a defensive posture. No more.

Funny how campaign finance reform suddenly becomes urgent the second a political outsider starts competing with the machine. Unions, PACs, and political insiders spend big money in Massachusetts races all the time. But when a candidate uses his own money instead of owing favors to the usual crowd, now it’s a “democracy” crisis? If Beacon Hill wants a real conversation about money in politics, great. Let’s have it. But cherry-picking the issue only when it’s politically convenient is exactly why people don’t trust the system. boston.com/news/local-news/2…

This is common sense: Congress should prevent the President and his family from profiting off crypto deals while in office.

In 2019, seven years ago, when he was 34-years-old, Graham Platner logged into reddit and posted a response to a video of an American soldier being shot by the Taliban. Platner wrote: "This video never gets old. Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban's part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible shit decision possible when it comes to small unit combat." Think about each line. "This video never gets old." Platner's implying he's watched the video several times and enjoys it. "At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt." That's what Platner thinks about his fellow Americans at war. If they're not good at killing or broader tactics, he has contempt for them. He displays no empathy. The opposite, in fact. The man that Platner is commenting on, by the way, is Pfc. Ted Daniels, who was a 37-year-old father of two serving in Afghanistan at the time of the incident (2012). The bad tactic Platner enjoys mocking? Daniels stepped into the open deliberately to draw Taliban fire away from his fellow soldiers so his squad could get to safety. Daniels was shot four times in this video and, ultimately, earned a Purple Heart. When the video was initially released (2013), Pfc. Daniels was critical of himself in interviews, saying, "It wasn't the most tactically brilliant thing to do." He described that he was embarrassed by the video; that people could hear him screaming for help. But, also, he said: "I put my ass on the line for other guys." Then, we have, again, Graham Platner, logging into reddit, in 2019, to comment: "Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live." For all those who say, "That's just how Marines talk," I'll tell you: Platner's comment got downvoted by the military community. Even if it didn't: We're not talking about the military anymore. We're talking about a 34-year-old man, years after service, logging in to mock another man who's being shot on video. We're also talking about the U.S. Senate, not boys-will-be-boys or Marines-will-be-Marines. We're always told to view Platner as a changed man. 2013, when he made the rape apologia comments, was the "darkest point in his life," or so we have been told. So what was going on in 2019, such that Platner enjoyed watching a video of a man getting shot and mocking him? How many arcs of change are there in Platner's life? Was there a specific point where he discovered human empathy? I couldn't help but think of that specific reddit comment while watching the video below. "Still sending young Americans to die thousands of miles away from home," Platner says. Didn't he log in to reddit seven years ago to say, "Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live" ? I don't like being lied to.

#BREAKING Australian actress Holly Valance says that everyone “starts out as a lefty” But then you “wake up” when you try to “run a business or buy a home” “And then you realise how crap their ideas are” Hard to argue, Holly.

Gov. Maura Healey and Sen. Ed Markey continue to see their approval ratings dip as the latest MassINC Polling Group survey finds that the two Democrats are becoming increasingly unpopular. bostonherald.com/2026/05/18/…

I read everywhere about the 'hard right' This the term used to describe people who are Islamosceptic - that is, people who are doubtful about the merits of a religion that demands child marriage, the beating of women, and death to all who oppose it Perhaps 'sensible right' would be a better description

Mike Minogue is calling for debates with Maura Healey, and Democrats are pretending the real issue is the Republican primary. Of course they are. They would love nothing more than a long, expensive primary while Healey avoids defending her record on affordability, energy costs, immigration spending, and accountability. LET'S NOT GIVE IT TO THEM! C'MON PEOPLE! wbsm.com/massachusetts-minog…

Brian Shortsleeve wants to be Maura - not beat her.👉 Support @MikeMinogueABMD #mike4mass

Hey @massgop Let the people vote! Have you learned nothing from Kamala Harris’ loss? Robust primaries are an essential part of our political process. Take your thumb off the scale.
