This week, our panel looks at the Democratic House leadership vote results, and reacts to Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton's outspoken criticism of the party's leadership team.

We also look at the ongoing feud between Boston Police Commissioner William Gross and the ACLU, after Gross published a Facebook post that was highly critical of the organization and its lawsuit against the BPD.

Finally, we touch on the merger deal for Beth Israel Deaconess and Lahey Health. Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey's office approved the deal after including specific provisions that are intended to help control costs for patients.
