New: President Biden is wading into Mass. politics, backing Dan Koh, a former Biden White House official, in the Sixth Congressional District’s crowded Democratic primary. That endorsement, among Biden's first since leaving office, may test the influence he still has in his party’s contests.

In Massachusetts' Eighth District, Rep. Stephen Lynch is facing a primary challenger testing whether Dems want a tested old-guard or a youthful but inexperienced vanguard to meet the moment. On today's @bostonglobe.com A1, feat. Elmo and Boston's Cop Slide:

While President Trump has unleashed his pressure campaign on elite universities, some conservatives on campus are growing uncomfortable with his "slash-and-burn approach."

The criticism, coming amid relentless pressure from the federal government, leaves Harvard in an extraordinary bind: How can the school and the government win without alienating its core supporters? Story by @aidanryan.bsky.social & @anjalihuynh.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/29/b...

New: ICE has ramped up arrests in Mass., often with strong-arm tactics, under the Trump administration. But agents are facing more resistance from advocates and neighbors who are recording ICE encounters, raising funds for immigrant families, and more. For @bostonglobe.com:

Seeking to provide a fuller picture of who was imprisoned in El Salvador, an NYT team ran the names of the 238 men through US databases, checked backgrounds in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Chile, scoured court docs and news articles, and spoke to relatives. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/w...

New: Democrat-controlled state legislatures around the country have taken up resolutions and allocated funds to push back on actions from the Trump administration. In Mass., however, lawmakers have been slower to coordinate a public response. @bostonglobe.com

New: Mass. legislators have pledged to be more transparent this session. But in a recent @bostonglobe.com survey, just 12 percent of lawmakers said they should be subject to the state's public records law. The vast majority — 78 percent — didn't respond to our questions at all.

President Trump’s aggressive actions since taking office have raised concerns among legal experts and critics that he is blatantly disregarding the Constitution, with some arguing the country is facing a constitutional crisis. Here's my explainer on what they are:

Eugene Daniels representing the White House Correspondents' Association: "In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps."

The quiet town of Cumberland ME is now the epicenter of Trump & Gov. Mills' battle over the rights of transgender students. In some ways, Mills is taking a stand on behalf of one student from here. Most say they're glad to see it. My latest (non-climate) story www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/24/m...

The National Press Foundation is pleased to welcome 20 journalists from across the country to its 2025 Widening the Pipeline Fellowship, designed to support journalists of color staying in – and leading – the newsrooms of tomorrow. nationalpress.org/newsfeed/npf...

Mass. has a full time Legislature. But we found that at least half of our 200 state lawmakers have a second job, outside business interest, or side hustle—raising questions about how much time they commit to their jobs, as well as potential conflicts of interest. www.bostonglobe.com/2024/12/19/m...

Criminal justice reform advocates have for years sought to allow 18-year-olds to be tried and sentenced as juveniles instead of adults for certain crimes. But efforts to make that happen failed again this session, despite support from one of the Mass. Legislature's most powerful figures.

New: In the aftermath of Donald Trump's 2016 win, women opposing him mobilized in huge numbers. But now, that movement looks different. Some say they’re exhausted, scared, or bitter — feelings only exacerbated by his recent cabinet picks. www.bostonglobe.com/2024/11/23/m...

New: Democratic state AGs are once again poised to be the strongest check on Trump—and some of them prepared years for this election outcome. "We are better prepared than we were at this point in 2016," NJ attorney general Matt Platkin told me. www.bostonglobe.com/2024/11/22/n...
