As the border crisis continues to worsen, it almost seems like each week brings another tragedy to light illustrating the impact that the problem is having on American citizens. Just weeks after the murder of Laken Riley at the hands of an illegal immigrant, another story out of Massachusetts has people wondering when the government will finally do something about the problem at the southern border.A Haitian migrant was arrested for raping a 15-year-old girl at one of the hotels being used to shelter illegal immigrants and asylum seekers coming over the border. Gov. Maura Healey, a Democrat, chimed in...

Homeless families already in emergency shelters, including migrants from other countries, may be eligible for a state-run program that provides up to $30,000 over two years to find stable housing. The program, HomeBASE, has long served homeless families with children or pregnant women living in the emergency shelter system, which provides temporary housing under state’s decades-old right-to-shelter law. About half of the shelter system houses Massachusetts residents, according to state officials. Resettlement agencies are also working with Gov. Maura Healey’s administration to stand up a pilot program that would, according to one draft plan, help up to 400 migrants in...

Massachusetts Republicans painted a bleak picture Wednesday night of a state spending billions on shelters, tax revenues in decline,residents fleeing for other parts of the country,and a lackluster education system for students. Sen. Peter Durant,a Spencer Republican, offered the stark and dark portrait of Massachusetts in response to Gov. Maura Healey’s State of the Commonwealth address, which cast the state as having a “strong” economy and made clear some of the governor’s spending goals in the fiscal year 2025 budget. But Durant invoked immigration,education, housing, efforts to fight climate change, and underperforming revenues as sore points on Beacon Hill that...

Gov. Maura Healey on Wednesday proposed using nearly $300 million in one-time funds to infuse the state’s strained emergency assistance shelter system, as Massachusetts works to assist a record number of people in need. “As you know, the demand for emergency shelter by families experiencing homelessness in Massachusetts continues to increase in part as a result of migrant families arriving in Massachusetts and lack of federal action,” Healey wrote in a filing letter to lawmakers. The state is currently housing more than 6,300 families in shelters, hotels, motels and other sites, an increase of more than 60 percent from when...

“Boston has become a little bit of a target in terms of culture wars and white supremacist action,” Mayor Michelle Wu claimed. “We represent what progress looks like.” In a municipality where Biden won 82% of the vote and the city council includes an African Muslim woman in a hijab, the first “Afro-Latina” and the first “Haitian-American,” but only a minority of white Irish politicians terrified of being canceled, where is this threat coming from? Despite that, the Harvard Law grad who is married to a white banker has blamed all her problems on white people. “I’m getting used to...

Gov. Maura Healey tore into Ron DeSantis, saying the Florida leader’s stances on education have been “really shameful,” particularly his controversial “Don’t Say Gay” law, which the nation’s first openly-lesbian governor described as nonsense. In a Thursday interview on GBH’s Boston Public Radio, Healey said she would support Democrat President Joe Biden if he were to run for another term. She also characterized Gov. DeSantis, a possible 2024 Republican presidential candidate, as someone who wants to take the country “backwards.” “The idea of punishing, you know, punishing people for some of the things that he talks about,” Healey said. “This...

You’d almost think, based on the media coverage in Boston, that the Messiah had showed up in the Massachusetts State House to be inaugurated as governor, not Maura Healey. Despite the inability of Supreme Court Justice Brown Jackson to be sure what a woman is, the media are trumpeting the “Historic Day” and just can’t stop congratulating Bay State voters on their wisdom in electing her, with extra special bonus points for her being a lesbian. These screengrabs from WBZ-TV, CBS Boston complete with "Historic Day" plastered over the video and smug grins from the talking heads express the masturbatory...

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is among those criticizing Monday's Supreme Court ruling that sided with a Washington state high school football coach who lost his job for praying after games. "The football field is for playing, not for forcing religion on children," Healey said in a statement. "I'm disappointed that the Court failed to recognize that team prayer can be coercive, alienating, and exclusionary for many student-athletes and their families."

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey, the beneficiary of thousands of dollars in donations from pro-abortion organizations ranging from NARAL to Planned Parenthood, rejected a ballot initiative petition Wednesday seeking to let voters decide whether infants born alive in the commonwealth should be guaranteed access to lifesaving medical care. Massachusetts Republican Party Chairman Jim Lyons said there’s “absolutely no question” that Healey’s history of involvement with the abortion industry played a role in her decision to reject the initiative. “Today’s denial by AG Healey confirms the radical left has no problem eliminating medical care for babies born alive,” Lyons said. “The...

A recount could be looming in the 4th Congressional District race between two Democrats as more uncounted ballots surfaced on Thursday. Officials in Newton, Wellesley and Franklin on Thursday restarted counting primary ballots after Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin filed a court order to authorize local poll workers to continue counting ballots that were received on time and had not been tallied by the end of Tuesday night. In Franklin, poll workers Thursday evening were counting about 3,000 uncounted ballots — much more than the previously estimated 600 uncounted ballots, according to a spokeswoman for the Secretary of the...

Massachusetts attorney general Maura Healey (D.) on Tuesday refused to denounce the violent riots occurring nationwide, likening them to the purifying effects of a forest fire. "Yes, America is burning, but that's how forests grow," Healey said in a speech delivered to the Boston Chamber of Commerce. Healey, who is also the co-chair of the Democratic Attorneys General Association, repeated her remarks in a tweet later the same day, adding that Americans need to "seize the opportunity" to rid the country of "institutionalized racism," which she blamed for the violence. Maura Healey Today in my address to the bostonchamber, I...

Maura Healey, the attorney general of Massachusetts, set the Internet ablaze Tuesday with her non-criticism of the continuing riots – “Yes, America is burning, but that’s how forests grow.” Yet Healey has not always had a positive view of forest fires. In October 2015, she submitted negative comments to a federal agency on a proposed natural gas pipeline in Massachusetts, calling on the Obama-era Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to “scrutinize” the pipeline plans for adverse effects, including “increased occurrences of wildfires.”

“I like you. You and me, we’re going to be best friends.” It is early January, and Eric Schneiderman is sitting in his 25th-floor office above Lower Manhattan, doing his best Donald Trump impression, puckering his lips into a duck face, scrunching up his nose and lowering his voice into something that resembles the president’s outer-borough growl. Schneiderman is recalling his meeting with Trump in 2010. Back then, Schneiderman was running for attorney general of New York, and Trump was still in his pre-birther, reality TV host phase. Trump had donated money to one of Schneiderman’s opponents in the Democratic...
