To anyone starting a career in the trades: you made the right call.

We’re putting more shovels in the ground — building homes, roads, schools, and research facilities — and creating more good-paying, union jobs across Massachusetts.

Every day, law enforcement officers start their shift not knowing what the day will bring. Still, without hesitation, they put their lives on the line to protect others.

The officers honored at the Hanna Awards are real-life heroes and I'm forever grateful for their service.

Today, I signed an Executive Order launching our new Competitiveness Council.

This is an all-star team of leaders from industry, labor and government dedicated to making us the best state for business.

Because when Massachusetts competes, we all win.

White House Guts Education Department With More Layoffs

Donald Trump is weaponizing the shutdown against our schools.

Firing educators means kids will lose the mental health care, tutoring, and special education they need.

The White House needs to end this shut down and reverse this decision immediately.

If the charge on the bill is: not necessary, not good for ratepayers, get rid of it.

We've all been there — opening your energy bill and wondering, "What am I even paying for?"

It's outrageous. I'm calling on regulators to launch a line-by-line review of the charges on your bills.

Every dollar has to be justified. Just like you have to do with your own budget.

Anyone who pays their energy bill has probably noticed charges on charges — and for what?
 
As winter approaches, I’m calling on the Department of Public Utilities to do a top-to-bottom review and make sure every dollar benefits you.

Energy bills were way too high last year. That’s why we acted fast to save customers $220M — and filed legislation to save another $13B. 
 
As winter approaches, the Department of Public Utilities needs to push back on utilities and stop rate hikes before they hit.

Governor Healey’s letter to the Departmenr of Public Utilities.

Today, I sent a letter to the Department of Public Utilities, calling on them to launch a first-of-its-kind review of every charge on your gas and electric bills. 
 
Every dollar should be justified. 
 
If it's not benefitting you, it shouldn't be there.

The State Police set the standard for safety that protects everything we hold dear. That’s why we support them — not just with our words, but with the actions and investments they deserve.

Congratulations the new Troopers of the 91st Recruit Class of the Massachusetts State Police!

State First Ladies: Americans Reject Political Violence | Opinion Like the law enforcement officers who tracked down the killers of Charlie Kirk and Melissa Hortman, we have agency over what happens next.

No matter your politics, we have to stand together and reject violence in our democracy.

Now’s the time to listen more, turn away from hate, and find connection. The next generation is watching.

A much-needed message from @joannalydgate.bsky.social and Utah’s First Lady Cox.

Never in the history of our great country has another President threatened to jail a Governor for disagreeing with him. I stand with Governor Pritzker and hope all Americans do as well. This is authoritarian insanity.

Donald Trump’s not fighting crime, he’s abusing power to attack opponents.

To anyone who thinks they can take over our streets, drag race and put our communities in danger, think again.

We will find you and you face the full consequences of the law.

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.

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.
