“Team Wales” has made it clear that their only focus this week will be meeting local people in #Boston #EarthshotBoston2022 and climate solutions …and they will not be distracted by other issues. #royalvisit #wbz #PrinceandPrincessofWales #HarryandMeghan @wbz #cbsboston.
People are bundled up and lined up across the street from Greentown Labs in #Somerville hoping to see the Prince and Princess of Wales arrive here this morning. A mother & daughter spent the night on air mattresses at her hair salon nearby so they could get here early @wbz

Note: when you see that High School Senior in your life during Christmastime. don't ask. Wait for them to tell you.
Lot of high school seniors who applied early admission to college are getting news today that maybe they didn’t want. Everything is going to be ok. Rejection sucks but you can almost certainly end up someplace you absolutely love and get a great education. Hang in there.

Pelosi: "I don't hate anybody. " She stipulated she was raised in a Catholic household. Catholics are taught that hatred is a grave sin because it means that you wish evil on another person - this clearly struck a nerve. .
On her way out of the door, Pelosi returned to the lectern when a reporter asked if she hated the president. "I don't hate anybody," she said. "As a Catholic, I resent your using the word 'hate' in a sentence that addresses me." She said she prays for the pres "all the time."
