Governor Maura Healey

73rd Governor. Joanna's other half. Stepmom, aunt, sister, baller. Always playing for Team Massachusetts 🏀
Nobody takes care of each other like the people of Massachusetts.

The shutdown is over, but the Trump Administration is delaying heating assistance another week — in late November.

Families need heat now. The President should release the funds immediately.

As he steps into a new chapter next year, we couldn’t be more grateful for all he’s given to Massachusetts.

This week at the State House, we honored leaders who make Massachusetts stronger — and celebrated their stories through the Living Histories of Color exhibition.

That now includes Michael Bobbitt, who’s led @masscultural.bsky.social for the past four years with vision and heart.

By the end of the year, a new transmission line will be ready to carry 1,200 megawatts of hydropower from Canada to New England.

That's affordable, stable power to cover 20% of Massachusetts electricity needs — and save families and businesses $50 million each year.

The evidence is clear: vaccines do not cause autism.

Vaccines save lives. Undermining Americans’ trust in them is dangerous.

While RFK, Jr. uses the federal government to spin conspiracy theories, we’re sticking with real science in Massachusetts.
The CDC revives debunked 'link' between childhood vaccines and autism
A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention webpage that previously stated "Vaccines do not cause autism" has been changed to cast doubt on the scientific research that supports the finding.

Swastikas and nooses aren’t “potentially divisive.” They’re hate symbols — and they don’t belong anywhere near our military.

The Coast Guard deserves better.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

The first public school. The first university. Massachusetts has always led on education.

And now, the data is clear: degrees from Massachusetts public colleges and universities pay off.

For families fighting for a cure, time isn’t just precious — it’s everything.

While President Trump slashes billions in research funding, 74,000 children, parents, seniors and more are losing hope.

They can’t afford to lose another second.

Trials on prevention and infectious-disease, as well as those conducted outside the United States, were the hardest hit among the more than 380 affected studies.

Liz and Ben have spent more than a decade making sure kids have access to fresh, healthy fruit, and he just dropped off another 10 bushels of apples today.

The Springfield Food Policy Council and Gardening the Community are feeding families in Western Massachusetts — and doing it with healthy, affordable, locally-grown food.

Grateful to Executive Director Liz O’Gilvie, the entire team, and Ben from Clarkdale Farms.

Less than 24 hours after the shutdown ended, every dollar in SNAP benefits owed to Massachusetts families was loaded onto their EBT cards.

That only happened because of the incredible, around-the-clock work of the DTA team. In Massachusetts, we take care of each other.

When Republicans in Washington walked away from hungry families, Massachusetts stepped up.

The team at @foodbankwma.bsky.social worked nonstop to feed families who didn’t get their SNAP benefits on time. The shutdown might be over, but their work isn’t done — and neither is ours.

College students should be focused on classes and careers — not where their next meal is coming from.
 
President Trump's cuts to SNAP are making it harder for young people to get by. That’s why we’re investing nearly $500,000 in fighting hunger on campus.
November 15, 2025 at 5:12 PM
Less than a day after the federal government reopened, we issued every dollar of November SNAP benefits owed to people in our state.

President Trump might have tried to starve Americans, but I won’t let that happen in Massachusetts. Go buy groceries for your family.
November 14, 2025 at 8:59 PM
Huge thanks to @projectbread.org for stepping up to help families impacted by President Trump's SNAP benefits freeze.

Our team worked quickly to get benefits back on EBT cards — so if you’ve got funds, go get those groceries.

And if you still need help, ask. You are not alone.

The team at @projectbread.org has seen an unprecedented surge in calls since President Trump cut off SNAP benefits.

Thank you to every staff member and volunteer stepping up to help our neighbors feed their families.
November 13, 2025 at 8:49 PM
If you have money on your EBT card, go buy groceries for your family.

Forget the noise coming out of Washington. We have your back.

In Massachusetts, nearly 1 in 4 adults is a family caregiver. It’s stressful, time-consuming work — and most do it on top of a full-time job.

It's Family Caregiver Month, and we're celebrating by giving caregivers the support they need to focus on family, not finances.
November 12, 2025 at 3:16 PM
For 250 years, people from Massachusetts have answered the call — from the militias that fought for freedom to the veterans who’ve defended it ever since.

We’re proud to be the birthplace of America and our military traditions. Our veterans will keep our nation strong for generations to come.

Health care premiums could skyrocket by $25,000 if President Trump and Republicans don’t act. No one can afford that.

I’m going to fight like hell to make sure Massachusetts families can keep the coverage they need and the doctors they trust.
November 11, 2025 at 10:14 PM
Massachusetts veterans have defended our freedom and democracy. We owe them everything.

That’s why I signed the HERO Act — the most pro-veteran legislation in America — and why we’re committed to ending veteran homelessness once and for all. Happy Veterans Day!
November 11, 2025 at 7:50 PM
On Veterans Day and always, we honor the brave men and women who served our country and defended our freedoms.

Thank you for your courage and sacrifice 🇺🇸
