One of my female role models, Governor @janemswift with our next State Treasurer @VoteDionneMA! Thank you, Governor! #mapoli
📣FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR JANE SWIFT ENDORSES DIONNE FOR STATE TREASURER🚨 BOSTON - Republican candidate for Massachusetts State Treasurer, Elizabeth Dionne announced the endorsement of former Acting Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, @janemswift. Governor Swift served as Lt. Governor to Governor Paul Cellucci from 1999 to 2001 and served as Acting Governor from 2001 to 2003. “I am honored to have the endorsement of Governor Swift,” said Dionne. “She broke the glass ceiling in the Massachusetts Governor's office. As Governor, she was instrumental in implementing the Education Reform Act of 1993, which led to Massachusetts having many of the top-ranked school systems in the nation. Swift received national praise for her calm but decisive response to the September 11, 2001 attacks and for her management of the fiscal crisis that followed,” stated Dionne. Governor Swift stated, “Massachusetts taxpayers are being crushed by rising energy, housing, and utility costs. As a local government official, Elizabeth Dionne implemented sound fiscal policies, protecting taxpayers and growing economic opportunities in Belmont.” “Berkshire, Hampshire, Hampden, and Franklin Counties deserve their fair share of Lottery distributions and local aid allocations. As State Treasurer, Elizabeth Dionne will be a committed partner to Western Massachusetts to return more local aid,” said Swift. “She comes with a proven track record of bipartisan problem-solving. In a world of divisive rhetoric, Elizabeth Dionne is focused on common-sense solutions to improve the lives of every Massachusetts taxpayer, regardless of party. Dionne has my wholehearted support for State Treasurer on November 3rd,” stated Governor Swift. Dionne added, “During her service, Jane Swift faced gendered scrutiny and judgment as a high-profile working mother. A quarter-century later, Massachusetts women still benefit from her pioneering example. Her steadfast and compassionate leadership paved the way for generations of working mothers and younger women to seek elected office in Massachusetts.” #mapoli #dionne4treasurer #taxpayerstreasurer #elizabethdionne votedionne.com/#janeswift

Has anyone thought to mention to the bar owners that militant indoor N95 maskers are not high probability to be ordering or consuming food & drink? do they use these? which are also “controversial.” I guess my practical #OldWMA farmer vibe doesn’t get it.
I have long been a Greenfield fan, even considered moving three years ago. The music festival there does have strong valley vibes, though.

This is the only article my kids ever wanted me to send them from the Globe … and if the Globe doesn’t send a reporter to that bar Sat nite they are crazy. Based on a sample size of 4 - there is great interest in road trips.

Here's the full story on the SEC filings in federal court in Alabama today against LSU, w/@DanMurphyESPN and Mark Schlabach. *SEC seeks authority to expel LSU from the league *SEC presidents and chancellors will meet Thursday decide whether to terminate LSU as an SEC member institution pursuant to Section 3.1.5 of the SEC Constitution and Bylaws *States in suit that LSU actions "confirm the lack of institutional control over the athletics program at LSU." espn.com/college-football/st…

One of the most difficult parts of my parenting very young children while holding a very public job was the external criticism that was hard not to internalize. Was I a bad mom? Here is some advice I got worth passing on (and it is a wonderful lavender growing season on the farm)

“If your children have food, shelter & appropriate clothing there is one more thing they need-unconditional love.” We take for granted how many parents can’t do the basics & then make the rest way too complicated. A wise child therapist told me that - I hope it helps another mom.

Bringing a team to Boston this week. Hotel rates? 300 - 1100 a night downtown& anywhere close/safe. At our office in PHX - during spring break rates soar: to 400ish but not by the airport where they stay in a manageable 190-275 range. Add that to the list. bostonglobe.com/2026/08/04/b…

Do you ever feel like your grown children left visiting you at their childhood home and maybe they had to leave in the middle of the night? With someone chasing them?

Thank you @jmart - I got to know Sen Graham during the McCain campaign. “These were politicians, not saints,” may be one of the best one-line remembrances of all-time. You contextualize him elegantly. Lindsey O. Graham, A Politician in Full politi.co/4vrGhem via @politico

I have actually done the drive - 14 hours - 15 max. They would have been better off taking a bus …
There are 1,500 flights that leave Chicago each day but the baseball team worth 6 billion dollars can’t find a flight out.
