Half of Massachusetts school districts cannot afford to keep teachers in classrooms, AP classes on the schedule, or art and music in schools. Boston cut 260 teachers and 144 aides, yet somehow found room to hire more administrators. Governor Healey just passed a $63.3 billion budget that grows every year. If the money is not getting to our kids and it is not getting to our classrooms, I think it's fair to ask: where is the money going?
Boston’s cutting teachers and running deficits, but don’t worry, there’s still money for “wellness grants” and block parties.
Mayor Wu can’t explain where the money’s going, but she’s definitely spending it.

MASSACHUSETTS DESERVES SO MUCH BETTER THAN MAURA HEALEY
Massachusetts is in trouble. Big trouble. The kind of trouble you do not recover from unless you make a change, and you make it fast.
The great Commonwealth of Massachusetts… the home of Paul Revere, the home of the American Revolution, the home of Plymouth Rock… is now the 3rd most expensive state in the entire United States of America. 3rd! And when I say expensive, I mean really expensive. A family of 4 needs $313,747 a year just to live "comfortably" in Massachusetts. The highest figure in the entire country. Higher than California. Higher than New York. Higher than anywhere. And the woman in charge, Maura Healey, has done nothing about it.
People come up to me, very smart people, very respected people, and they say, Sir, please, please, you have to talk about what is happening to our state. They say, Sir, we are losing it. And I tell them, I know. I see it. Because the numbers do not lie. The numbers never lie.
33,340 residents… beautiful, hard-working, taxpaying residents… packed up and left Massachusetts last year alone. Many went to Florida. Wonderful state, Florida. The greatest. Many went to New Hampshire, right next door. Right next door! They could not even make it out of the region, they just had to get out. 5th-worst in the country for outmigration. 5th-worst! Behind California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey… a rogues' gallery of failed Democrat states. And now Massachusetts is in the club. Maura Healey dragged it into the club. By the collar. And when I say dragged, I mean really dragged.
Now let's talk about the migrant shelter disaster. This is one of the great scandals of modern American government, and nobody talks about it. Almost nobody. $1.9 billion. Almost 2 billion dollars of Massachusetts taxpayer money. Spent on what? On emergency shelters running at $15,166 per family per month. Per month! That is more than most working people in Massachusetts make in 3 months. 4 months. Think of it. The state was housing more than 7,600 families at the peak, in hotels, in motels, in conference centers, paid for by the people who get up every morning and go to work in Worcester, in Springfield, in Lowell, in Lawrence, in Brockton.
And the State Auditor, a Democrat… a Democrat, by the way, this is not a partisan thing… came out and said the contracts were unlawful. UNLAWFUL! No-bid emergency procurements. Sole-source contracts. Wasted taxpayer money. A 74-page audit. 74 pages of failure. And now $1.9 billion is gone. Gone! And she has the audacity, the AUDACITY, to ask the people of Massachusetts for 4 more years.
Who can believe it? Who can believe we are even talking about this?
Let me talk about electricity. Oh, the electricity. Massachusetts has the 3rd-highest electricity rates in the entire country. Up 70% in 10 years. 70%! While the national average went up 40%. So Massachusetts went up almost double the rest of America. Almost double.
And families are suffering. 1.3 million ratepayers… 1.3 MILLION people in Massachusetts… had to choose between paying their electric bill and paying for food, for medicine, for healthcare. 900,000 households missed at least one energy payment. 900,000 families! And what does Maura Healey do? She announces a "winter discount" right before her election. The timing is incredible. The timing is perfect, just perfect. A 25% discount for 2 months, paid for by RAISING the rates for the other 10 months of the year. It is a gimmick. A magic trick. A scheme. And the people of Massachusetts are very, very smart. They see it. They always see it.
Then there are the trains. The MBTA. Oh, the MBTA. 44 derailments in 2024. 44! The most of any major transit agency in America in over a decade. More than New York. More than Chicago. More than Washington D.C. People are getting hurt. 6 passengers were injured in one Green Line derailment last October. Green Line drivers received 133 speeding violations over 5 years… 66 of them in 2024 alone… and the federal government had to step in.
The State Auditor, the same Democrat, came out again and said the T failed to perform timely preventive maintenance, failed to perform basic visual inspections, failed to do almost everything a transit agency is supposed to do. The transit advocates are now calling it… and these are not my words, these are their words… a "spiral of doom." A SPIRAL OF DOOM. Imagine being the governor and your own people are calling your transit system a spiral of doom. The MBTA is running a $700 million deficit, projected to climb to $859 million. Where does the money go? Nobody knows.
I take trains sometimes. Beautiful train system in some places, like the Acela, very fast train, named after I do not know who, but a beautiful train. The MBTA is not the Acela. The MBTA is, well, the MBTA. And it is on Maura Healey's watch.
Housing. Massachusetts got an F. An F! 2nd-worst in the country. Only Rhode Island is worse, and Rhode Island is very small. Maura Healey signed something called the Affordable Homes Act. She called it the most ambitious housing investment in history. In HISTORY! And what happened? The grade went down. The prices went up. The people kept leaving. Builders cannot build because the zoning is, in their own words, "complex and hard to navigate." Complex and hard to navigate. So the projects do not happen. The supply gap gets worse. And meanwhile, families are being squeezed harder and harder and harder.
Now the taxes. Massachusetts dropped from 34th to 46th in the Tax Foundation's State Business Tax Climate Index. Think of it. From 34th to 46th. The biggest single-year drop of any state in America. Number 1 in collapsing! Champion. And it is because of the so-called millionaires' surtax. I warned about this. Everyone warned about this. And what happened? 70% of CPAs in Massachusetts said their clients changed their tax home in 2024. 70%! 27% of business clients are thinking about leaving the state. The Massachusetts budget would be $463 million in the red right now without that surtax… but the surtax is what is pushing the very people out who pay it. A fiscal death spiral. You cannot tax your way out of an outmigration crisis when the tax IS the outmigration crisis.
And now let me tell you about transparency. Maura Healey ran on transparency. She promised "more transparency than any governor in history." Those were her actual words. In history! And what did she do? She stopped disclosing her out-of-state travel. Stopped! Citing "security." Security from what, I have no idea.
Then the reporters at WBUR uncovered something called One Commonwealth. A "dark money" group. A 501(c)(4). Funded by who? Funded by DraftKings, $50,000. A company her administration regulates. Imagine that. And by a New York paving company called Peckham Industries that has millions and millions of dollars in MassDOT contracts. They put in $10,000. And the finance director of the dark money group? The same person… the SAME PERSON… who is the finance director of her reelection campaign. The same human being. Imagine that.
A retired UMass Boston professor, a campaign finance expert, said it perfectly, and I will not tell you his name out of respect, but he said this... What does DraftKings care about housing? What does a paving company care about housing? They do not. They are currying favor with the governor. The swamp. The Beacon Hill swamp. And Maura Healey personally opened the door.
I love Massachusetts. I really do. I love the people. I love the history. The Pilgrims. Plymouth. Lexington. Concord. The shot heard round the world. Bunker Hill. The greatest revolution in the history of mankind started right there. With everyday Patriots… farmers, blacksmiths, fishermen, regular people who said "enough"… who said, "We will govern ourselves." Who said, "No more taxation without representation." And those Patriots… my grandfather came to America with nothing, never had it easy, but he loved this state and he would not believe what he was seeing now… those Patriots did not freeze in the snow at Valley Forge so that one day their descendants would have the worst electricity prices in the continental United States, the most-derailing trains in America, the worst housing grade in the country, and a governor who hides her donors from the public.
The polls do not lie either. Only 21% of Massachusetts voters think Maura Healey kept her promise on tax reform. 21%! That is a disaster. A total disaster. Working-class voters, voters making under $40,000 a year, her approval crashed from 58% to 40% in just a few months. Voters with a high school education or less, down from 54% to 37%. The people she was supposed to help are running away from her, just like the 33,340 people who ran out of the state.
A UMass political scientist, very smart guy, said her numbers should be… and these are his exact words… "a flashing red light" for her and her advisors. A flashing red light. I would call it a flashing red, white, and blue light. Because in November of 2026, the great people of Massachusetts get their say. They get their vote. They get their chance.
In 2026, Massachusetts has a chance to take its state back. To make it affordable again. To make it safe again. To make it competent again. To make it transparent again. And to make it GREAT again.
Send Maura Healey home. Send her home and do not look back.
God bless Massachusetts.
God bless the United States of America.
And let's bring this beautiful Commonwealth back to where it belongs.
The energy crisis in Massachusetts didn’t happen by accident. Governor Healey killed two natural gas pipelines that would’ve cost $3.3 billion to build and saved us $1 billion a year. Instead she spent $4 billion on Vineyard Wind, a project whose turbine blades are collapsing into the ocean, whose manufacturer is walking away, and which is now buried in lawsuits. She has been building solar farms that cost up to $30 million each and get buried under snow every winter. Massachusetts has the highest electric bills in the country. No one is more responsible for our outrageous energy costs than Maura Healey.
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.
All I know, is that I’m on the side that doesn’t kill anyone, nor celebrates the killing of anyone, nor fantasizes about the killing of anyone...
…just for winning an election
That’s what side I’m on.
People love Massachusetts. They just can’t afford Massachusetts anymore.
The problem isn’t the state. It’s the policies.
High taxes. High costs. Families getting crushed.
Fire Maura Healey and people will stay.
#mapoli#magov
Our electric bills are the highest in the country because of Governor Healey's green energy agenda. Our taxes keep going up because she keeps growing benefit programs full of fraud. SNAP. MassHealth. Hundreds of millions of our hard earned money stolen every single year. We are paying for her bad decisions and her failure to stop the fraud at the same time. We are getting crushed from every direction and she is at a podium saying everything is fine. Enough is enough.
BREAKING: Massachusetts paid out $1 billion in improper SNAP payments while 75% of able-bodied recipients didn't work, new report finds

I've been holding back on this, but I'm just gonna let loose...
So many of these "protestors" here in Asheville NC have had their lives DRAMATICALLY improved by President Trump.
Trump's FEMA resolved 80% of ALL open Hurricane Helene cases Biden left sitting 116 days... in 5 DAYS.
Trump's DOT gave nearly $2 BILLION to fix roads and bridges in WNC, which is the largest Emergency Relief allocation in federal highway history.
Trump's DOT reopened I-40 in 5 months. Everyone said it would take years.
Trump's HUD approved $1.4 billion for Helene housing recovery so fast that even Democrat Governor Josh Stein publicly thanked him for it.
Trump's USDA delivered $221 million directly to WNC farmers who lost everything.
Trump gave NC 6 full months of 100% federal cost coverage — one of the longest in FEMA history.
The same people driving on rebuilt roads, drinking clean water, living the comeback... are out here protesting the man who made most of it happen.
JUST GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!!!
It's not that hard.
He knew you hated him before the storm.
He knew that when he landed in Asheville.
And guess what?
HE SHOWED UP AND HELPED YOU ANYWAYS!!!!!!
And today you grabbed your little sign and costumes, got in your little Subaru, you drove on those rebuilt roads, over those rebuilt bridges, passed rebuilt houses and rebuilt parks, to protest a man who helped your city.
You look stupid, out of touch, and insanely ungrateful.
Let me paint a picture: A large scale cocaine operation run out of Gov. Healey's own state office. Over $364 million in fraud and counting. Billions spent on illegal migrants. Millions spent protecting criminals from deportation. BPD cruisers set on fire in our streets. Utility bills nobody can afford. A housing crisis chasing families out of the state they were born in. Maura Healey did all of this. And has the audacity to ask for four more years.
