Anthony Saltarelli, then a junior computer science major at the College of the Holy Cross, was one of many Americans who found themselves in a state of shock in the immediate aftermath of the 2016 presidential election. Unlike a lot of them, however, Saltarelli found a way to not only take action, but to empower others to do the same.
“I often ask myself: How could anyone support this guy? What kind of a person would support someone who, to me, was such a ‘total disaster?’ … So I contacted my friends (who support Trump) and asked them to tell me why they supported Trump.”
The question is, how can Trump do all of the things he promised to do when he is constantly distracted by tweeting and his senior staff is forced to spend so much of its time defending him and walking back what he really meant to say?
“In Massachusetts, being ranked number one is unlikely to be enough, just like five Super Bowl rings on Tom Brady’s right hand couldn’t stop parade-goers last month from chanting: ‘We want six’.” Plus, Healey, Murray, McGovern, video and more.
On Friday, the White House’s disconnect with the mission and value of the reputable press went from concerning to dangerous.
“Today, in America we seldom take responsibility for the messes that we create. Someone else is always to blame.” Ray Mariano on the nation’s pathological passing of the buck.

Last week, my column gave people an opportunity to vote and comment on whether Worcester should become a sanctuary city. Here are the results.
“While I don’t believe that most of those protesting Trump’s orders favor open borders, neither do they seem to have spent much time thinking about what a rational immigration policy should include.” Luckily for them, Chris Sinacola has a few ideas.
The purpose of this column is to give readers an opportunity to vote on the subject and to express their personal feelings.
Gaffney, Petty, fascism and the Bible all in one finely crafted Sinacola stew. How can you not read this?
