Now that we’re all worried Trump will ignore election results, time to figure out what to do
Have Massachusetts (or any state) officials gamed out what they would do if Trump refuses to accept the results of the November election or unilaterally deems them invalid?
Far from presidential rally, it’s just as important that we wear masks to stop spread of Covid-19
Many of us view President Donald Trump’s rally Saturday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as an incredibly irresponsible, selfish and extraordinarily dangerous potential super Covid-19 spreader. But many liberal, educated Cambridge residents are behaving little differently by not wearing masks or distancing.
Voters need to heed lesson of this health crisis: Elect only candidates with experience, maturity
