Former FBI director James Comey is now facing another indictment again. This time stemming from an Instagram post of seashells arranged in the sand to form the numbers "86 47" with a caption that read: "cool shell formation on my beach walk". Republicans took that as a threat or message of violence against President Trump with 86 meaning "to get rid of". The indictment charges Comey with two counts: knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the life of - and to inflict bodily harm on - the president, and second, knowingly and willfully transmitting in interstate commerce a threat to kill the president. Is this just political revenge by Trump or political justice?

How can we cut down on the current political rhetoric that's filled with vitriol and at times questionably dangerous speech? Late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel is under fire (again) for comments he made mocking the White House Correspondents' Dinner days before it occurred, saying Melania looks to have the "glow of an expectant widow", among other questionable comments. In other examples we've seen the President himself making nasty comments against his opponents. The rhetoric goes both ways, so we ask, as a society, how we can cool down the rhetoric on both sides?

Boston Mayor Wu floats the idea of congestion pricing to cut down on driving in Boston, a move that's part of the Wu Administration's climate action plan. In the city's five-year climate action plans released this week, it states, "The city will study financial mechanisms to discourage vehicle trips into Boston, including updates to parking freeze permit fees, parking pricing structures, tolls and congestion-related fees. By examining these tools, the city can identify the most effective strategies for reducing congestion and encouraging more sustainable travel choices.” Would you be in favor or opposed to Boston adopting congestion pricing? Why or why not?
