#Breaking: Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley Ayanna Pressley finally breaks her silence on the murder committed in the #Boston home she owns with her husband, Conan Harris, and the controversial $2 billion state contract awarded to the company co-owned by her husband and the head of the #Massachusetts Convention Center. Pressley became visibly upset when I asked her about the murder, stating it “didn’t happen in our home,” and that it “happened in a rental property owned by my husband.” As far as the shady state contract, she defends her husband and the deal. #Massachusetts #Pressley #Harris #Politics #mapoli

After issuing guidance Tuesday to #Massachusetts schools and child care facilities on how to interact with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who show up to schools under the recently signed Protect Act, I asked Governor Maura Healey Maura Healey today if there is even a notable amount of instances where #ICE agents have tried apprehending children at schools or child care programs. She couldn’t name a specific example, falling back on decreasing enrollment numbers. #Massachusetts #Healey #ICE #politics #mapoli

#Breaking: The next time you hear #Massachusetts is the least transparent state, this may help illustrate why: Following an event at the State House today, I tried asking state Sen. Joan Lovely about her vote to repeal Chapter 62F - the law allowing a tax rebate for residents. I was physically touched and blocked from talking to her by what appears to be her aide, who also yelled at me for not asking his permission to film him in a public area without his consent. #Massachusetts #taxes #politics #mapoli

Things are getting weirder and weirder at the #Boston No Kings rally at the Boston Common, with this bizarre song and dance routine by one of the nonprofit groups headlining the event. It’s been a morning filled with strange interactive chants and exercises from the organizers as thousands wait for Governor Maura Healey Maura Healey to speak. #Massachusetts #NoKings #Trump #weird #politics #mapoli

#Breaking: I was able to catch the disgraced ex-aide to Governor Maura Healey Maura Healey - LaMar Cook - as he was leaving a Springfield courtroom following a pretrial hearing. I asked Cook about his trip to Disney World, partially funded by taxpayers via his #SNAP benefits, the $31,000 contract buyout he got from Healey’s office that he says he “earned,” his mother’s $1 million state lottery winnings just days after his release on bail, and more. Cook doubles down on his defense of all the taxpayer funded benefits and payouts he’s received. #Massachusetts #LaMarCook #Healey #cocaine #Disney #politics #mapoli

#Breaking: New court documents show that interim Director of the #Massachusetts Convention Center Mass Convention John Barros, who divested from the shady $2 billion state contract he won with Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s husband, did not fully disclose his conflicts of interest with the state until the day after he won the bid. I asked him about this today at an unrelated event in Springfield, and also asked him if his former business partner Conan Harris should divest as well. #Massachusetts #Barros #Springfield #Politics #mapoli

#Breaking: One member of the #Massachusetts Governor’s Council, Mara Dolan, says she rejected a nominee with prosecutorial experience because he could not guarantee that he would not “go too far in ensuring public safety.” The vote follows last week’s mass shooting in #Cambridge, carried out by a suspect released early by the parole board from an already light five-year sentence for shooting at police. It also came as the board has granted early release for several convicted violent criminals, including first-degree murderers. #Massachusetts #PublicSafety #parole #politics #mapoli

#NEW: While announcing new guidelines for illegal immigrants in #Massachusetts to avoid U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, Governor Maura Healey Maura Healey went on a lengthy rant against the agency and the #Trump administration after I read the latest ICE Boston arrests to her, which includes statutory rape, narcotics trafficking, assault and other charges. This as Healey frequently states that ICE is not arresting violent criminals as promised, but rather people with no criminal history. #Massachusetts #ICE #Healey #Trump #politics #mapoli

#Breaking: I asked Governor Maura Healey Maura Healey to explain her support for controversial #Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner Graham Platner for Senate, asking how she could endorse someone with a Nazi tattoo and who messaged women while married on the “predators paradise” Kik app, among other controversies. #Healey says “come November, we need to do everything we can to defeat Susan Collins,” citing her support of the Dobbs decision and her “enabling of Trump” as her primary reasons. #Healey #Platner #Collins #Trump #Maine #Massachusetts #Politics #mapoli

#NEW: “A GREAT RECORD.” Attorney General Andrea Campbell is defending her office after the #Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court struck down a third ballot initiative Tuesday (rent control), again citing errors made by the AG’s office. Campbell tells me that out of the 44 ballot initiatives certified by her office, “we had six challenges and got three wrong. I think that’s a great record.” #Massachusetts #Campbell #politics #mapoli

#NEW: During a celebration of the completion of the nation’s first-ever industrial scale offshore wind farm, I asked Governor Maura Healey Maura Healey if the energy source is really as reliable as she makes it out to be based on the #NewEngland grid having to resort to burning trash during the deep winter cold snap due to its significantly low output (below 6% of total grid). Environmental Secretary Rebecca Tepper says offshore wind “played a terrific role in what happened this winter,” while Healey says “people would have been a lot worse off” this winter without offshore wind. #Massachusetts #Healey #Tepper #Trump #offshorewind #politics #mapoli

.Governor Maura Healey Maura Healey calls it a “silly question” to ask if Attorney General Andrea Campbell should be replaced for her “misleading summary,” cited by the state’s Supreme Judicial Court, in its decision to kill a ballot initiative that would have lowered the #Massachusetts income tax from 5% to 4%. I asked Healey this as she stopped by the Juneteenth celebration in Roxbury today. #Massachusetts #incometax #Healey #Campbell #politics #mapoli

Governor Maura Healey Maura Healey is blaming federal changes to #SNAP admissions by the #Biden admin. during the #COVID pandemic for a whopping $364 million in SNAP payment errors by #Massachusetts in FY24 ($338M in overpayments)- a year after the COVID state of emergency ended.

At a press conference at the #Boston Common doubling down on his calls to remove the “morally corrupt” Donald J. Trump from office over the #IranWar, despite last night’s ceasefire being reached , I asked Ed Markey what he has to say about the droves of Iranian citizens celebrating #Trump’s truce in the streets. He didn’t seem to like the question. I also asked him if he would call former President Barack Obama “morally corrupt” for dropping over 21,000 bombs on the Middle East in his final year in office without congressional approval. #Markey #Massachusetts #Boston #Trump #Iran #IranWar #politics

After I asked her if she had a response to Donald J. Trump mentioning #Massachusetts during the State of the Union along with #Minnesota, #California and #Maine as some of the most fraud-ridden states while announcing a “war on fraud,”Governor Maura Healey Maura Healey said it’s all about #Trump “continuing to try to deflect and distract from the reality of what’s happening,” referring to what she says are affordability issues caused by Trump’s economic plans. I also asked her about my recent report on a #DTA whistleblower’s claims of “rampant” #fraud in the state’s #SNAP-#EBT program. Healey called it an effort by Trump to “distort reality.” #Massachusetts #Trump #Healey #politics

After stating that the relationship between #Massachusetts state government and the federal government has been strained by the #Trump administration, I asked Governor Maura Healey Maura Healey if she feels that she has anything responsibility for the strained relationship with her executive orders and polices against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and her refusal to cooperate with Trump admin. requests for information on #SNAP recipients and other things. Healey proceeded to go on a rant about a lawsuit filed this week by Assistant AG Brett Schumate over her refusal to allow #ICE undercover license plates. #Massachusetts #ICE #Trump #politics #mapoli

I asked Governor Maura Healey Maura Healey about her letter she sent to Acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons and Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem “demanding” information on #Massachusetts ICE arrests. I also asked her if she thinks her continued antagonization of #DHS and #ICE leadership will get her anywhere. Healey said her demands are in the interest of “public safety” and “public welfare” and continued to push her claims that the “vast majority” of people arrested or detained by #ICE have “absolutely no criminal charges against them or criminal convictions,” while failing to recognize that being in the country illegally is in itself a crime. #Massachusetts #immigration #ILLEGALimmigrants #ICE #DHS #politics #mapoli

I asked Governor Maura Healey how an “error” that caused the $31K contract buyout to be paid to disgraced former aide LaMar Cook could have possibly happened in her office, and if that is an acceptable excuse for someone at her level. She drew back on her time as AG. #mapoli

As the #Massachusetts Senate gets into budget week on Beacon Hill, I asked Senate President Karen Spilka if the Legislature dwindling amount of local state aid, which has forced cities and towns into property tax hikes or Proposition 2 1/2 override votes. Spilka instead blames federal funding cuts by the #Trump administration. I also asked her if the Legislature is spending too much on pet projects and the state’s costly climate mandate. She says that was too general of a question to answer. #Massachusstts #Spilka #Budget #politics #mapoli

After I asked him if #Massachusetts and Governor Maura Healey Maura Healey should turn over #SNAP recipient data requested by the #Trump administration and Dept. of Agriculture to root out waste, #fraud and abuse, Congressman Jim McGovern Rep. Jim McGovern said “I wouldn't trust the Trump administration to tell me the correct time,” and that “I wish the Department of Defense Department of War 🇺🇸 had this kind of scrutiny. But it doesn't.” I also asked McGovern if the federal government should be subsidizing the fraud Massachusetts is not addressing. He snapped back, saying the federal government is not subsidizing it, saying “please, don't tell me that SNAP is the poster child for fraud. That's just not the case.” #fraud #SNAP #Massachusetts #Trump #mapoli #politics
