    The vaccine roll-out in Massachusetts has been "unacceptable," says @RepPressley. "The fact that we could rank 37th in the nation when we are a healthcare mecca and we have that existing infrastructure? We should be a pace-setter for the nation." wgbh.org/news/national-…

    In March 2020, @alexjgoldstein created @FacesOfCOVID to share the stories of those lost. Overwhelmed by statistics about deaths and hospitalizations, he sought to represent the "human component of this loss that was just cascading over us," he says. wgbh.org/news/national-…

    “We can't let this guy stomp all over our constitutional rights," says @GovBillWeld on challenging @POTUS. “No one in the Senate says anything when he’s acquitted of a constitutional crime … of which he was so clearly guilty?” WATCH: to.wgbh.org/60161iWD0
