Middleboro Review and so on

                    THANK YOU VERMONT! Good News For Us, Bad News For Trump Onward. Scott Dworkin Mar 2 Before we start another week of Musk and Trump’s madness, I’m happy to deliver another round of positive news today. I hope it gives you at least some relief—and shows you there are great people fighting this tyranny. Trump’s planned Oval Office ambush of Zelensky continues to backfire, as thousands rallied in support of Ukraine in Times Square on Saturday. There were similar demonstrations held in Los Angeles, Boston, and other cities across the country. JD Vance went on a ski trip to Vermont this weekend, where hundreds of people lined the streets with pro-Ukraine and anti-Trump/Musk/Vance signs. Protesters gathered at the resort where Vance was staying—before he moved to an undisclosed location. Ukrainian President Zelensky, on the other hand, was welcomed in the UK with open arms on Saturday. British Prime Minster Keir Starmer gr...

  View in browser   BY  LISA KASHINSKY AND THEN THERE WERE TWO —  Quentin Palfrey’s abrupt  exit from the attorney general race  and  endorsement of former rival  Andrea Campbell recalibrates the Democratic primary with less than a week to go. It's also sending Campbell and Shannon Liss-Riordan racing to capture his supporters  and other big names who have yet to wade into the contest. The two remaining Democrats spent Tuesday making personal appeals to party activists, city councilors, and state and federal lawmakers, with some success. Liss-Riordan finished the day with around 50 new endorsements,  her campaign shared with Playbook. They’re   a mix of former Palfrey supporters — including state Sen. Anne Gobi and state Rep. Adam Scanlon — and newcomers to the race like state Rep. Mike Connolly and state Sen. Paul Feeney, and district attorneys Jonathan Blodgett and Anthony Gulluni. She also picked up the support of Our Revolution ...

  More than a century after women gained the right to vote, Vermont remains the only state yet to send a woman to Congress. It’s high time we end that distinction for our state. Becca Balint is smart, tough, and effective. She’s got the skills and the courage to deliver on a bold progressive agenda that includes funding for housing, mental health care, and a Green New Deal to protect our people and our planet. Split a donation of $5 or more between our campaigns to help send her to Congress in November. DONATE  Earlier this month, both Becca and I won our primaries – her for Congress and me for the Senate.  The outcome of both of our races will decide the trajectory forward for Vermont. Will we fight for Medicare for All? Protect our beautiful state with a Green New Deal? Invest in affordable housing, raising wages, and defending the fundamental freedoms of women and LGBTQ people? Or will we allow the Senate and Congress to fall into the hands of a Republican Majority dea...

At a time when our democracy is imperiled and partisan division seems worse than ever, I look to Vermont. We see people helping their neighbors, caring for their communities, and working together to solve problems. I think we need more of Vermont in DC and that’s why I’m running for Senate. We’re approaching our August deadline—the first of the general election. We’ve got an ambitious fundraising goal to meet before Wednesday night because we can't risk the Senate falling back into Mitch McConnell's hands.  Can you pitch in $5 to help support this grassroots campaign? DONATE  If we win this election, I’m ready to get to work on Day 1. To best represent the great state of Vermont, I’ll listen, keep doing the work to know and understand my constituents, and focus on solutions that make an impact. To help win this critical Senate seat, I’m going to need some help. This campaign refuses to take corporate PAC money, so we rely on grassroots supporters like you. That’s the importanc...
