Massachusetts Republicans have no one to blame but themselves for a disastrous 2022 performance. But Jim Lyons is going to try anyway.

For the new Healey administration and thousands of homeowners with septic systems, it’s gut check time. New regulations in motion could soon require costly upgrades in the name of environmental protection, but at a potential cost to the state’s housing goals.

It’s tempting to pretend that the COVID-19 pandemic is over. But Gov. Charlie Baker’s making a big mistake if he ignores the warning signs that the virus is still very much here.

Granite Staters are furious that Democratic Party leaders, including President Joe Biden, want to strip New Hampshire of its first-in-the-nation primary. Oh, please.

Billionaire Elon Musk has owned Twitter for a month, and it’s been nothing but an avalanche of bad headlines and questionable business decisions since then. Maybe Musk is exactly what Twitter and many of its users deserve.

It’s that time of year to sharpen the carving knives and roast the “turkeys” who have made the past year in Massachusetts politics one to remember. Or maybe for some a year they would rather forget.

The Massachusetts Republican Party had a bad night last Tuesday, losing even more ground in the Legislature, not to mention its only standing in statewide or Congressional offices when Democrats Maura Healey and Kim Driscoll punched their tickets to succeed Gov. Charlie Baker and Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito. It was a fitting end to a cycle during which the MassGOP tried to embrace the far-right conservatism, and even election-denialism, that has worked in the past in other parts of the country, but not here and not this year.
