LINDSAY CLANCY TRIAL: WHAT THE JURY MUST DECIDE The Lindsay Clancy trial has begun. I’m Sue O’Connell, NBC10 Boston’s courtroom insider, and I was inside Plymouth Superior Court for the first day of jury selection. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTARs6eaH/

A Social Security number does not prove citizenship, a green card or permanent legal status. And entering the country unlawfully can be a federal crime without automatically eliminating someone’s ability to request asylum. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTScGAj2e/
"Widow's succession" is older than most of us — a lawmaker dies, a spouse steps in, the seat stays warm. Here it's a sister. And not a distant one: after their parents died, Lindsey Graham became Darline's legal guardian and adopted her. My explainer here: www.nbcboston.com/video/news/p...

Listen to @dsallentess.bsky.social talk about why Massachusetts should vote YES on all-party primaries this November. Thank you to @sueoconnell.bsky.social and @mattprichardtv.bsky.social for facilitating this conversation on @nbcboston.com! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBOp...
Here’s a story about why Air Force One was so important on 9/11 www.tiktok.com/t/ZTSnPF6VJ/o
Is this a total win for Senator Susan Collins - or will the race turn now into a referendum on President Trump? www.nbcboston.com/video/news/p...

Boston is suing Meta, YouTube, Snapchat and TikTok, alleging addictive design aimed at children. In "Sue Explains": what the city has to prove, why these cases are hard, and what the research on kids and screens actually says. www.nbcboston.com/video/on-air...
Taking Issue: The one about the Mass. Senate race Matt and I break down the MA Senate race — starting with that unusual Deaton-Moulton debate, where the candidate getting the most attention was the one who didn't show up: Ed Markey.
Also: Moulton's new ad featuring his wife speaking directly to Markey, and the cell phone incident with an unidentified person. Then Friends on "Friends" takes on Episode 3. youtube.com/playlist?lis...
First came the tax cuts. Now come the health coverage cuts. Half a million New Yorkers pushed off low-cost coverage, millions more projected to follow — one paperwork trap at a time. Did you know when it passed? www.tiktok.com/t/ZTSSkDT18/
The Supreme Court ended its term with major rulings on birthright citizenship, transgender athletes, and campaign finance. www.instagram.com/reel/DaOZtAr...
The Roberts Court drew a fascinating line yesterday: expanded presidential power over the FTC, but drew a hard stop at the Federal Reserve. Plus the politics driving the Republican and Trump effort to diminish mail-in voting. I break it all down here: www.nbcboston.com/video/news/p...
The Supreme Court gave Trump a major win on presidential power — but stopped him at the Federal Reserve. And on mail ballots, the Court said states can still count ballots mailed on time if state law allows it. Watch here: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTS6toHs6/

"Values" was a top answer for both what unites America AND what divides it, per a new AP poll. My read: it's a word that holds together right up until you define it. Full bit from NBC10 here 👇 www.nbcboston.com/video/news/p...
The midterms are not background noise. Every House seat is on the ballot. About a third of the Senate is, too. Whether you want to defend what’s happening or defeat it, the answer is the same: pick a race and get involved. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTSJjCos1/
Civics in 69 Seconds! Women were citizens. So why couldn’t they vote? #Our250 #America250 youtube.com/shorts/SGMzG...
Let’s Play A Game! Pardon or Punish? Same government. Different rules. Pardon or punish? The answer depends less on the conduct than on who the conduct serves. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBENXVJe/
Peace talks with Iran are about more than diplomacy. They’re also testing Trump’s leverage, Israel’s role, and the GOP divide over war. My NBC10 Boston breakdown: www.nbcboston.com/video/news/p...
Terrorism-prevention money became the lever in a new fight over voting. According to CNN, states could be told to change election rules or risk losing 20% of homeland-security grant money. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBvm6rVR/
Yes, Lincoln was a Republican. That part is true. But party names don’t freeze politics in place. Lincoln’s Republican Party used power to expand freedom, citizenship, and voting rights. Donald Trump’s Republican Party is pushing rules that narrow access to the ballot. Same name. Opposite direction.
Thanks for watching my commentary on NBC10 Boston and everywhere else. I am thrilled to win my 5th New England Emmy for commentary, tied with incredible colleagues at WCVB. Here's some of my work from 2025: youtu.be/QLlAAx4nu88
President Trump sold the Iran war as a way to weaken Iran, stop its nuclear program, crush its missile threat, and pressure the regime. But the actual deal….Is is it a peace agreement or a surrender? www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBbNPxV8/
John Sununu had the Senate seat. He left it. Now, 18 years later, he wants it back. This week on the @ Issue Midterms 2026 Podcast, Matt Prichard and I ask the former New Hampshire senator why now? Plus, a new segment, “Friends on Friends”, makes its debut. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

While the fight on the lawn grabbed the headlines — what about the babies? You know, the thousands of children — including babies and toddlers being held by ICE. The numbers are hard to look at. And that’s exactly why we should. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTB4YrEhy/
A cage fight on the White House lawn is the spectacle. The real undercard is the money. Private company. Federal property. Trump-branded coins. UFC stock. Paramount merger. Where does public office end and private profit begin? www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBxfJeEg/
Breaking News: President Trump says inflation will come down “when the war is over.” So how close are we to the war actually ending? Do you think Americans are getting a clear explanation of what this war is costing us? #Iran #Trump #Inflation #GasPrices #MiddleEast www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBuvQ6eN/

Can a police officer’s private texts be protected speech, even when those texts reveal racism, antisemitism, and bias about the person he was investigating? Karen Read’s new lawsuit raises a major question: when does “private speech” become evidence of public misconduct? www.tiktok.com/t/ZTByfnnbX/

Karen Read’s new lawsuit is not just about ugly texts. It is about who gets a badge, who gets power, who gets trusted to investigate the rest of us — and what happens when the warning signs were allegedly there all along. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBUJ8y71/
