If you or someone you know is driving this bus — send me a message! Contact info in my bio
RFK Jr’s 2024 campaign bus has been busy. It was in California. Then it went to Burning Man. It was in Reno. It popped up in DC, where it was last spotted. So who is driving it? Kennedy spokespeople say it’s not them. I dug into the trail of clues: https://t.co/WFWUMZ3G1t

The bus — actually a used converted RV — was purchased in Florida in 2023 for roughly $191,000.

National parks remain largely open during the shutdown. Not so for their fee collection booths. And that's a growing problem for parks already struggling under Trump's cuts.
bostonglobe.com
At least $1 million in fee revenue is being lost every day, according to an outside estimate, starving parks of money needed for staff and projects.

Susan Collins should be at the peak of her power as Senate appropriations chair. Instead, @talkopan explains she's finally ascended to the coveted job at a time when the Trump administration has no use for the appropriations process.
bostonglobe.com
The Appropriations chairmanship should have been the pinnacle of her nearly three-decade-long career. Instead, it’s been an onslaught of challenges.

“Any number of prominent killings have been used by organizations afterwards to try to mobilize their base,” said Harvard professor Stephen Ansolabehere. “They’re taking full advantage of the opportunity to make sure that message carries forward.”

Moulton, 46, makes age the centerpiece of his challenge to Markey, 79, telling @sambrodey: “I mean, if we can’t learn the lessons of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Dianne Feinstein and Joe Biden, then people aren’t going to trust us to lead for the future.”

If lawmakers can strike a deal to quickly end the federal government shutdown, it may be due in part to the quiet work of New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen.

Hey @AmericanAir. You've changed the gate twice at O'Hare for Flight 906, the second time from an open gate to one with a plane waiting to depart. So obviously, that means you had to delay Flight 906 for 30 minutes and counting. What were you thinking?

For Trump, a Comey conviction might be secondary to a simpler goal: humiliation https://t.co/lKHOekHIQC via @BostonGlobe

Legal experts said the case against the former FBI director appeared to be weak. But the outcome could be less important to Trump than the legal process it has kicked off.

Ed Markey dodges a significant primary challenge from Jake Auchincloss (whose congressional career was launched, interestingly enough, when Joe Kennedy III gave up the same Boston-area House seat to primary Markey in 2020.)
bostonglobe.com
The 37-year old Newton congressman had seriously weighed whether to challenge Markey, who is seeking a third Senate term, before deciding against it.
