🚨 IN 24 HOURS, TWO BOMBSHELLS DROPPED
First: Daunasia Yancey, a senior City Hall official under Mayor Wu, was revealed to have been arrested three months ago for felony assault and battery with a dangerous weapon — allegedly slamming a woman into a wall.
No press release.
No public acknowledgment.
Her city bio stayed live.
The city claims she was shifted to unpaid leave “after more information came out” — but that only happened after weeks of paid leave and a $116,000 salary quietly continuing.
Then: Segun Idowu, Boston’s Chief of Economic Opportunity & Inclusion, was cleared of misconduct — through a City Hall–assisted investigation, announced the same day Yancey’s arrest became public.
So let’s get this straight:
The same City Hall that buried a felony arrest for months…
Now wants the public to trust the credibility of its own internal probe clearing one of its most senior officials?
Why wasn’t Yancey thoroughly investigated from day one?
Why was she even hired — and handed a six-figure salary — in the first place?
Why should anyone trust this administration’s definition of “accountability”?

Meanwhile… the economy is collapsing.
A Pioneer Institute report shows:
- Massachusetts dropped from #4 to #28 in per-capita GDP growth from 1998–2019 to 2020–2024
- Boston’s tech and finance sectors — once dominant — are losing ground
- Florida, Texas, and North Carolina are outperforming us
- Our share of national economic output is shrinking — and Boston leads that decline
And who’s been in charge of fixing it?
Segun Idowu.
What were these hires actually for?

Wu brought in Yancey — a 2020-era protest activist who once picketed Marty Walsh’s private home — and gave her a City Hall job because she fit the brand.
She promoted Idowu as a symbol of inclusion — but under his watch, Boston’s economy is backsliding.
This isn’t governance.
It’s aesthetic.
The people of Boston are done with the façade.
Nationally, Democratic approval is in the low 20% range.
Voters are rejecting woke ideology, performative politics, and leadership that hides the truth.
Mayor Wu promised a new era.
Instead, we got identity hires, internal coverups, and economic decline. Wu's House of Cards is collapsing and Boston taxpayers are the ones left holding the bill.
