In the final days leading up to his eleventh election for Congress, Rep. Michael Capuano (D-ma) was confident in his chances. As Capuano told a reporter over the weekend, “I fully admitted in the first couple of months… there was some rust on the machinery. We’ve gotten rid of that rust. We’ve greased it up pretty good. And I think the machine’s running very well.”
But the machine — Boston’s Democratic Party — was not running well, and on Tuesday, charismatic City Councilor Ayanna Pressley defeated Capuano, a 10-term incumbent.

One day before Congress voted on whether to allow Internet service providers (also known as ISPs) to sell customer data, the creator of the irreverent hit game “Cards Against Humanity” issued a strong warning on Twitter.
“If this sh*t passes I will buy the browser history of every congressman and congressional aide and publish it,” Max Temkin tweeted of the legislation on Monday, “CCing” House Speaker Paul Ryan.
House Republicans didn’t listen.
On Tuesday, the House voted along party lines to undo landmark Internet privacy protections approved by the Federal Communications Commission in the final days of the Obama administration.
