Losing the ticket war is frustrating. Seeing that $100 seat on resale sites for 5X the price is infuriating.

Everyday Americans are struggling at the grocery store and gas pump while Trump gives tax cuts to billionaires and spends our tax dollars on foreign wars. Instead of sending money overseas, we should invest in housing, healthcare, and programs that help working people.
For the first time in three years, Americans' wages are no longer outpacing inflation, further compounding affordability concerns.

Happy Tax Day! Here’s your reminder to file your taxes if you haven’t already.
As the Trump administration rolled back efforts to expand free tax filing options, millions of Americans must rely on paid services to file basic returns. (1/2)

The Cape’s Bourne & Sagamore bridges are among 68 nationwide without a vulnerability assessment. The Army Corps, which owns them, must act now to ensure their safety. We can’t wait for a disaster—it’s time to evaluate and address any vulnerabilities. bostonglobe.com/2025/03/25/m…
