Dunno if there are any other Mass. residents here but:
Incumbent Senator Ed Markey has defeated Seth Moulton in the Democratic primary election in Massachusetts. Moulton had made transphobic comments in 2024 about trans athletes playing school sports. He apologized for those remarks in 2026 but his apology was widely viewed as a day late and a dollar short.
Hopefully this gives the Democratic Party the clue that dunking on trans rights won't get them anywhere, and will in fact hurt them.

Weymouthite here, but I left in 2018. I suppose he'll desert the rest of the LGBT community next, then people of color, then women's rights. You know, working the clock backwards. 😔
