  • SEN. CORY BOOKER MAKES U.S HISTORY – LONGEST SPEECH ON SENATE FLOOR AT CAPITOL HILL

    The record for the longest filibuster in Congressional history was once held by a staunch segregationist opposing the Civil Rights Act.

    Today, Senator Cory Booker has made history—commanding the Senate floor in a powerful stand against the dangerous and oppressive actions of this administration. A Black man breaking the record once set in defiance of justice, now using it to defend democracy against the tide of fascism.

    “Liberty—not just for people who agree with the president—but FOR ALL!” – Cory Booker 

    “It’s not a right or left moment. It’s a right or wrong moment. This is a moral moment in America.” – Cory Booker

  • Key Insights into the New Rail Line Linking Southeastern Massachusetts to Boston

    The Fall River-New Bedford MBTA Commuter Rail line commenced operations on Monday morning, reinstating a direct rail connection between southeastern Massachusetts and Boston for the first time in 65 years. This long-awaited service, extending to Taunton, New Bedford, and Fall River, has been under development for decades and represents a multi-billion-dollar investment. “After years of setbacks, we confronted this challenge with determination and succeeded in delivering for the South Coast. The entire state will reap the benefits,” Governor Maura Healey remarked in a press release dated March 24.

    The newly extended rail line introduces six additional stops. Beginning at Middleborough, which replaces the former Middleborough/Lakeville station, the service progresses to East Taunton before splitting into two branches: one heading to Freetown and Fall River Depot, and the other toward Church Street and New Bedford, as outlined by the MBTA. Notably, the existing Middleborough/Lakeville station has been re-designated as Lakeville station and will now exclusively accommodate the seasonal CapeFLYER service.

    Trains are scheduled to operate every 70 minutes on weekdays, with a total of 32 direct trips from South Station, including 15 to Fall River and 17 to New Bedford. Weekend service will consist of 26 trips, with trains running at two-hour intervals, according to the MBTA.

    For the remainder of March, weekday travel on the South Coast Rail will be complimentary for passengers starting or concluding their journey at one of the six newly added stops. Riders must inform the conductor of their origin and destination stations to qualify for the free service, as per the March 24 press release.

    Following the conclusion of the free period, standard fares will apply, with a one-way ticket from South Station to any of the new stations priced at $12.25. A reduced fare of $6 will be available for seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those meeting income eligibility requirements, as specified by the MBTA.

  • Postal workers in Boston rally in opposition to proposed changes to the USPS, advocating for the preservation of its services and workforce

    Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Boston on Sunday afternoon to voice their opposition to proposed reforms to the United States Postal Service. Letter carriers from across the region convened at Boston Common to protest a plan that seeks to eliminate 10,000 jobs and cut billions of dollars from the USPS budget. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has indicated that he is collaborating with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to implement these changes. The protesters also expressed their concerns regarding the potential privatization of the 250-year-old public institution.

    According to WCVB 5, The National Association of Letter Carriers says the plan would put millions of jobs at risk and would put in place the following:

    • Abolish the Postal Regulatory Commission, leaving no independent regulatory authority on pricing and service
    • Raise shipping costs, driving inflation higher for businesses and consumers
    • Sharply reduce service to rural America, including over 50 million addresses where private carriers often do not deliver
