What a joke and a disgrace. Massachusetts voters were going to be able to vote on whether their state income tax should be cut, but a court just said you can't vote on it.
Federal authorities have arrested and charged 16 people with defrauding numerous government programs including MassHealth, SNAP, disability, and unemployment.
In announcing the arrest, U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Leah Foley says, "it appears that you can come to Massachusetts and steal as many benefits as you want without fear and without any accountability."
🚨#BREAKING: Today, #FBI Boston special agents arrested Christopher Gerstel, the Chairman of the Needham Parks & Recreation Commission, on fraud and tax charges.
Mr. Gerstel allegedly stole over $200,000 from a little league organization based in Needham, MA, to pay credit card debt, make car payments, & cash withdrawals at casinos.

The town of Rutland Massachusetts has canceled its huge annual Fourth of July celebration that has been happening in Rutland for over 100 years! Last week the residents of Rutland voted down a massive override that would’ve resulted in huge property tax increases for many of the residents. This includes senior citizens that cannot afford the increase.
Today residence of Rutland learned that the town has decided to cancel the Fourth of July festivities this year. Yes this is the 250th anniversary of our country! July 4th festivities in Rutland have always been funded by private donations. They are telling the residence that this is not a money problem, they are saying that we don’t have enough police officers and first responders to staff the festivities.
They are blaming this on the failed override. In past years, most of these essential workers have been brought from other communities to help manage this large annualevent in Rutland. Shame on the corrupt politicians that are using a failed override vote to punish citizens of Central Massachusetts and Rutland! It’s just another day and the people’s Republic of Massachusetts!
Please share for more visibility 🙏🙏
I asked (or tried asking) #Massachusetts Senate President Karen Spilka if she thinks it’s appropriate for @MassGovernor Maura Healey’s years-long ex-romantic partner to be one of the Supreme Judicial Court Justices overseeing the legal battle between state Auditor @DianaDiZoglio and Attorney General Andrea Campbell on whether to carry out the voter-approved audit of the state Legislature. Spilka didn’t want to answer my question.

Here's Biden Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg bragging about blocking the Spirit Airlines merger with JetBlue that would have saved the airline from bankruptcy. I don't think America has ever had a more incompetent Secretary of Transportation than Mayor Pete.
Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren
She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.
Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.
JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.
The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.
For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.
Warren said no.
She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.
Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.
Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.
510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.
14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.
And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.
Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.
40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.
And the math ain’t mathing.
Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.
That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”
So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?
Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.
Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.
Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”
A win.
14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.
And she’s taking credit.
This is socialism in 2026.
A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.
She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.
She cost you ten times that in real life.
She didn’t protect consumers from anything.
14,000+ will go from working to welfare.
She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.
Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.
She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.
If Spirit Airlines fails, the blame will fall squarely on crazy Elizabeth Warren and the Biden Administration. Their anti-capitalist policies killed the Spirit–JetBlue merger that would have saved the airline and protected its workers’ jobs.
Warren is a nasty woman.
🇺🇸 Here's what $39 trillion in debt really means:
If we confiscated every dollar of U.S. corporate profit ($3.8T/year), it would take over 10 years to pay off.
Sell every ounce of gold ever mined: $32 trillion. Still $7 trillion short.
Liquidate every Bitcoin in existence on top of that: $33.5 trillion. Still $5.5 trillion short.
If we confiscated every dollar of federal tax revenue ($5.3T/year), it would take over 7 years to pay off, assuming zero spending.
The debt is 71% of every home in America, or 30% of every publicly traded company on Earth.
The debt grows by $7.2 billion a day, or $84,000 a second.
This is a problem.
US national debt just surpassed the size of the entire economy for the first time since World War II.
Public debt: $31.27T
GDP: $31.22T
The math is broken. The endgame is obvious.
This makes me so 😡 angry. I have daughters who are 26, 24 and 7 years old. During my youth, I was guaranteed to do better than my parents if I was willing to work for it. Young people today do not have the same guarantee that I did.
And it’s an absolute disgrace and betrayal. It’s not about left 🆚 right. Career politicians are to blame. Whether it’s @SenSchumer@SenMcConnell@SpeakerPelosi@ChuckGrassley@SenMarkey@LindseyGrahamSC - all of them - regardless of party. This is unconscionable.
Starting this year, the Social Security Administration will raise the full retirement age to 67 for everyone born after 1960.
Americans must work longer because Congress keeps spending our Social Security.
Senator Tommy Tuberville confirms they spend our Social Security, “It’s all a scam - what happens, it comes up here, we spend it”
“This is all a scam. I mean, we got people that's getting ready to retire that's gonna try to live off $2k-$3k, Impossible. It's impossible. Because what happens, it comes up here, we spend it.“
“In this body, we had better start figuring that out because we're gonna have a run from this city here soon, and there's gonna be about a 150 million people coming up here saying, where's our damn money that we paid in?”
A major new report shows Massachusetts has gone from the 2nd best state in America to start a business to LAST PLACE. Due to Democrat misrule, businesses & companies are fleeing MA in record numbers to Texas, Florida & South Carolina. Gov. Healey is DESTROYING the state! #mapoli
