The “pro-family” party does nothing to help mothers

  IT'S A SAD REMINDER OF REPUBLICAN FAILURES TO TAKE CARE OF  MOTHERS!  INSTEAD REPUBLICANS HAVE SUPPORTED THE WAR MONGERS, DEFENSE  INDUSTRY AND WAR PROFITEERS AS FAMILIES SUFFER!  FOOD PANTRIES ARE FLOODED WITH THOSE IN NEED - IT SHOULDN'T BE!  REPUBLICAN EXPLODING DEBT AND DEFICIT HAS DEVALUED THE DOLLAR  CREATING HIDDEN COSTS! IRRATIONAL TARIFFS HAVE INCREASED COSTS  ON FOOD PRODUCTS, AMONG OTHER GOODS. NO REPUBLICANS SPEAK OUT!  WEALTHY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR IN  MASSACHUSETTS GIVE LIP SERVICE TO 'AFFORDABILITY' ABOUT WHICH  THEY HAVE NO PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE AND OFFER NO SOLUTIONS.  THE SAME MAY BE SAID OF THE MASS GOP!      This Mother's Day, I'm thinking about my mother — how she dug deep to take care of our family after my daddy had a heart attack.

Norwood Hospital was done in by inadequate state regulations. Here is the fix.

  Sponsored by  The Boston Foundation The Best of  CommonWealth Beacon   OPINION (Photo via Canva) Norwood Hospital was done in by inadequate state regulations. Here is the fix.   May 10, 2026 By  Meredith McGee For the second time in two years, Massachusetts is considering whether it needs to seize hospital land by force just to get a community its health care back. In February, state legislators held a hearing on taking the Norwood Hospital property by eminent domain, the same tool the state used at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Brighton at a cost of  $66 million  to taxpayers. For Norwood, six years into a flood-related closure that never had to happen, it remains the only option available. That fact alone should tell us something is broken. Not because eminent domain is the wrong call for Norwood, but because a state that regulates its utilities, its transit systems, and its energy grid with layers of intermediate oversight has no equivalent to...
