I am proud to have the endorsement of Matt Chilliak, Chair of the Andover Democratic Town Committee.

“Connor Murray is well prepared to take on the challenges facing our communities and the Commonwealth… the best choice on November’s ballot.”

The old guard is failing us, and their disdain for voters who try to initiate change is a liability to earning popular support for a progressive agenda.

We need new Democratic leadership on Beacon Hill, and we need it yesterday. #mapoli

Chilliak: Time for new Dem leadership on Beacon Hill

Opinion | The Democratic Party’s legislative leaders are failing to meet the moment. But the problem goes beyond Capitol Hill. Massachusetts Democratic leaders on Beacon Hill are failing too.

Congrats to the newly elected @ndp.ca leader and Canada’s future Prime Minister @avilewis.ca! I’m excited to see him revitalize a strong social democratic party that puts the people and workers first. #cdnpoli

Poilievre’s recent shift in strategy to expand his voter pool is critical for his political success, but it risks alienating a significant portion of the party’s base which supports Trump, say some political players.

Poilievre's trip to the U.K. and Germany with his message of stoicism may help rebuild moderate Tory support, 'but you can't out-Carney Carney,' say observers.

“I don’t think this is a one-and-done thing,” says Ben Woodfinden, a former communications director to Poilievre.

“I don’t think there’s a radical pivot here ... But I do think he’s finding his sea legs.”

My latest in @hilltimes.com on Pierre Poilievre's shedding his MAGA persona in favor of something a little more familiar during his international foray.

Thousands came to the rallies in Andover, North Andover & Boxford—but not a single MAGA. It’s a sign they’re either ashamed or scared. Either way, those who did come were part of the millions who made a massive show of resistance to Trump’s fascist attempt to remake America. #NoKings #mapoli

I had the chance to discuss the MAGA North dynamics at play for Canada’s Conservatives. From the great reporting of @lefthandstu.bsky.social

MAGA North is solidly half the Conservative Party—a problem that lasts as long as Trump is president (so, god-willing, no more than 3.5 years) #cdnpoli

Front | Conservatives seize on Liberals’ ‘law-and-order vacuum’ as Trump anxiety wanes; Carney calls Indonesia trade deal ‘game changing,’ but labour says it is a ‘step backwards;’ Without clarity, Kneecap ban appears as a ‘politically motivated PR stunt,’ say critics; and more.

One of the best parts of my job is recognizing and celebrating awesome people and great things happening in the Commonwealth.

It was an honor to present this recognition from the Auditor to the Commission on Disability at Lawrence’s first Disability Pride Flag Raising. #mapoli

‪This is at least the third time he’s brought me up, unprompted, on his show or in interviews, trying to “cancel” me from Democratic politics.‬

‪Get bent, Bill. I’m not going anywhere. ‬

So @realbillmaher.bsky.social called me a douchebag last week…

I’ve been called worse things by funnier people.

NDP needs to build an Orange Wave in the West The party has been too focused on winning support in Quebec when it should focus on traditional strongholds in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia.

The @ndp.ca need to make some drastic changes after their federal election wipeout. Here’s my take in @hilltimes.com on how they rebuild. #cdnpoli

My latest in @hilltimes.com on Canada’s upcoming federal election.

It’s time for a new strategy from NDP and Green voters: to prevent a Liberal majority. #cdnpoli #Elxn2025

First time I’ve been called a “pundit” and I gotta say, I much prefer being called a goon, henchman, or hack.

The NDP leader presents himself as a boxer 'fighting' for Canadians in a new ad, but caucus could be facing an electoral knockout, says former NDP strategist Matt Chilliak.

“the bench is deep and popular” LOL

The average voter has no
idea who is on our federal bench… which has shrunk each cycle and will be lucky to not disappear entirely this time around.

The ndp needs a change at the top—and preferably someone from outside of their bench

Hey Peter, I’m the mediocre white guy who wrote this. Can assure you it’s not copied from anywhere else.

What do you think I have wrong about the NDP’s current dismal outlook? Do you not think a provincial leader like WB Kinew would improve the party’s standing?

New Democrats need a new federal leader The electoral window of opportunity is now, and under Jagmeet Singh, the party is failing to capitalize.

Chilliak: The New Democratic Party is struggling, and in order to turn things around, Jagmeet Singh needs to step down as leader—immediately.
