Quote of the Day
“So many things I love about the 80s—big hair, bright clothes & the music. What I don’t love? Failed trickle-down economic policies that make rich corporations richer & leave so many families behind. So glad @MA_Senate did not include corporate tax breaks in supp budget.”
Speaking about the supplemental budget after she was not allowed to speak on the subject during the house debate.
