Former Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis has a warning for the Democratic Party: don't cede fighting crime to Republicans.
Dukakis, who was the Democratic Party's nominee for president in 1988, told The Hill in a recent interview that the movement to "defund the police" is "nuts" and that it's bad politics.
Calling Claire Cronin "an abortion extremist," the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts says her nomination to become the next U.S. ambassador to the Republic of Ireland demonstrates the failure of U.S. Catholic bishops to hold Catholic politicians who support abortion accountable to their faith.
Cronin, a Democratic state representative from Easton, spearheaded the abortion-expansion ROE Act bill through the Massachusetts Legislature in 2020.
