Governor Maura Healey

See how Trump's federal funding cuts hurt Massachusetts.

Ten months in, Donald Trump's cuts are costing Massachusetts BILLIONS.

Families and businesses losing support for food, health care, housing, safety and more — all so he can score political points.

Grateful to Senator Tarr and Representative Walsh for filing this legislation. I hope to sign this bill into law in honor of all the officers, and their families, who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Blue Star Families have lived through their worst fear — losing a child, spouse, parent, or sibling in the line of duty.

A Blue Star Families license plate is a simple, but powerful way to honor the service of fallen officers and their loved ones. Let's make it happen.

Governor Healey and LG Driscoll at computer lab.

Access to the internet isn't a luxury — it's a necessity for work, school, health care and more.

That’s why we launched the Connected and Online program with @masstech.bsky.social to bring computers and tablets to places like libraries, schools, and health care centers across Massachusetts.

Two years after the October 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas in Israel, Jewish communities are also celebrating Sukkot — a reminder that in fragile times, we find strength in faith and community.

As we honor the lives lost, we renew our call for the return of hostages and lasting peace in the region.

Mass. sues Trump admin over $6.9M homeland security funding cuts The suit accuses DHS and FEMA of penalizing states that don't prioritize immigration enforcement.

The Trump Administration took $7M away from law enforcement and emergency services that protect people from natural disasters and terrorist threats.

Donald Trump is playing politics with public safety. He must restore this funding immediately.

Trump administration terminates funding for dozens of New England energy projects - The Boston Globe The previously-approved funds would have gone toward clean energy projects by New England-based organizations, including deploying electric school buses and cutting the cost of solar panels.

Bringing down energy bills means bringing more energy into Massachusetts — exactly what these projects were designed to do.

Donald Trump says he wants to cut costs and support American jobs, but he just cut half a billion dollars from their funding.

Spent the day exploring the Topsfield Fair with @joannalydgate.bsky.social! 🎡

From the food, to the rides, games, contests and more — there’s something for everyone at America’s oldest county fair. It’s open now through October 13th, so make sure to check it out!

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! This year, El Mundo’s annual breakfast was all about education — something we take seriously in our state.

We believe in the dignity and worth of every young person because when Latino students succeed, so does Massachusetts.

Healey administration steps up effort to spur more nuclear power in state - The Boston Globe On Thursday, the administration announced it has contracted with UMass Lowell to design “roadmaps” for spurring new sources of nuclear generation.

Nuclear power is the future of affordable energy — and Massachusetts has everything we need to lead the way.

This new partnership with UMass Lowell will help us play to our strengths, lower energy costs and create good jobs. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/02/b...

Grateful to local law enforcement in Lynn, Lawrence, Boston, and more, who have worked with Mass State Police to make almost 1,000 arrests, seize 130 illegal guns, and get 108 kilograms of narcotics off our streets.

Safe cities and towns depend on the brave officers and troopers who put their lives on the line every day.

In Massachusetts, we support them, we invest in them, and we work together to protect our communities.

That's what Project Safe Neighborhood is all about.

I’m heartbroken to hear about the passing of Senator Ed Kennedy.

For nearly 50 years, he’s been a fixture of Lowell government, dedicating his life to service and delivering for his community.

My condolences go out to his wife Susan, his family, his Senate colleagues and his constituents.

The story of Massachusetts is one of compassion and solidarity. It's a story few people tell better than Ken Casey of the Dropkick Murphys.

@joannalydgate.bsky.social and I were honored to join @masshumanities.bsky.social on Dropkick Murphys Day to present the Storyteller of the Year Award!

During a shutdown, furloughed federal employees who are not receiving pay and not working are eligible for Unemployment Assistance.

Americans show up every day and do their job — they expect their leaders to do the same. Donald Trump and Republicans need to get the government back to work.

I want to be clear: Social Security payments will go out. Seniors on Medicaid should still seek care. VA medical centers are open. SNAP and WIC benefits are still available.

Massachusetts will keep providing state services, but no state can fill the gap on their own.

Republicans control the White House and Congress, but they shut down the government, meaning:

Delays for seniors applying for Social Security.

Veterans waiting longer for benefits they deserve.

Hospitals won't get reimbursements they depend on.

Families risk losing food and family supports.

TD Garden is thirty and thriving! ✨

With the most championship banners in North America, the world’s best concerts, and so much more, @joannalydgate.bsky.social and I loved celebrating all the memories made here — and the ones still to come.

Governor Healey and leaders in government, solar and labor.

Yesterday I sat down with solar and labor leaders at our Solar Summit. Massachusetts should be out front—creating good jobs, delivering reliable energy, and cutting costs through solar power.

Governor Healey at Solar Summit.

Solar is the cheapest, fastest energy out there—and it should be powering Massachusetts. We used to lead, but states like Florida and Texas are moving faster.

So I’m cutting red tape, creating jobs, and making it easier for families and businesses to benefit from affordable solar.

For students, the BRIGHT Act means cutting-edge learning spaces to get them ready for today’s careers.

For workers, it means 20,000 good construction jobs like the ones at UMass Dartmouth.

Bottom line: the BRIGHT Act is an investment in our economy and our future.

Governor Healey at LEGO HQ.

From bricks to board games, the world’s biggest toy makers are building their future in the #1 state for education and innovation.

Under my administration, LEGO and Hasbro are moving their headquarters to Massachusetts and bringing hundreds of jobs with them.

Whether it’s a burning building or a rescue, firefighters always answer the call with everything they’ve got.

And the new Department of Fire Services burn building in Bridgewater gives them the cutting-edge training they deserve—so they stay safe while they save lives.

“Point guards — they’re the best people in the world.”

After cutting the ribbon on the Bill Russell Bridge, Satch, Mal and I decided to call up everyone’s favorite point guard: Bob Cousy.

Honored to join members of the Russell family and @celticsnba.bsky.social legends to officially cut the ribbon on the William Felton “Bill” Russell Bridge ✂️🏀

Shanah Tovah! 🍎🍯

Sending my warmest wishes to those celebrating Rosh Hashanah over the coming days. May the New Year be filled with happiness and hope.

When Steward walked away from Nashoba Valley, we came together—leaders in health care, government, community, labor—to chart a new path forward. 
 
Today, UMass Memorial broke ground on a new Emergency Department where folks can access high-quality emergency care close to home.

I’m a parent and I’m the daughter of a school nurse. Keeping kids healthy and safe is important to me — it’s important to all of us.

Families deserve the facts when they’re vaccinating their children. In Massachusetts, that’s what they’ll get.
