Four Things to Know

In a nearly 100-minute speech last night, President Donald Trump boasted about his administration’s actions in its first six weeks. “Our country will be woke no longer,” Trump said. You can find a full rundown of the main themes of the address, along with fact-checking, right here. 

Two of the largest federal buildings in New England — The JFK Federal Building and the Thomas P. O’Neill Jr Building, both in downtown Boston — may be up for sale under a plan from the U.S. General Services Administration to identify real estate that is “not core to government operations.” The JFK building houses an immigration court and offices for the IRS, Homeland Security, Department of Labor, and Veterans Affairs, among other offices; The Tip O’Neill building has offices for a passport agency, social security, and Defense Contract Management Agency.

Boylston bus lane shuffle: First there was a road, then a bus lane, then no bus lane, then a bus lane again. The back-and-forth over a bus-only lane on Boylston Street in Back Bay — which first appeared as a temporary option for riders during a monthlong shutdown of the Orange Line in 2022 and became permanent last year — is entering a new stage. The city of Boston now wants to do away with the lane, saying car drivers are often in it and buses don’t have a clear path of travel. The nonprofit Transit Matters calls the move short-sighted, estimating that 20,000 bus riders a day use that lane, and that travel times have dropped by 40 percent during the morning commute.

NOAA cuts: What do mass layoffs of employees at the National Weather Service mean? GBH’s meteorologist Dave Epstein explains: “One thing that’s important, I think, for folks to understand with the National Weather Service is that they provide the watches, the warnings, all those hazards that you hear disseminated from someone like myself here on GBH or any of the other local media outlets,” Epstein said. “I make my own forecasts, but those warnings come from the National Weather Service. And if those go away, we’re going to have a lot of chaos, because then it will turn out to be on each individual media organization to come up with those.”

Parents who lost children push bereavement leave bill

There are no laws in Massachusetts — or at the federal level — requiring employers to give their workers bereavement leave: days off after the death of a loved one. Employees who lose a family member sometimes have to use their vacation or personal days to deal with funeral arrangements, the logistics that come with death and the heaviness of grief.

A group of parents went to the State House this week to advocate for change: a bill that would require employers to give parents like them up to 10 days of bereavement leave after the death of a child.

Dr. Erin Bowen, a Connecticut pediatrician and vice president of the Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood Foundation, experienced this after the death of her 17-month-old son, Conor, according to the State House News Service . Her employer initially rejected her request for bereavement leave. It was eventually approved after an appeal.

“After facing the most unimaginable loss, parents should not have to fight for bereavement leave, as well. There is no amount of time that would pass when it would be easy for a bereaved parent to return to work,” Bowen told the State House News Service.

Rep. James Arciero of Westford filed the bill, which would apply to biological kids, adopted children, step- and foster children who die before they turn 18. Parents could use their 10 days of leave at any point in the first year after the death.
