Maura Healey

You know, I feel a lot of anger. I feel anger for Democrats. the people I am elected to serve. And I think a lot of us feel that. And so as governor, I am focused on delivering for people here. How do I lower their costs? How do I build more homes? How do I lower taxes? How do I make sure that kids are educated, that our communities are safe, right? That our veterans are taken care of.

And in the face of that, we have Donald Trump, who's teamed up with his co-king, co-president, Elon Musk. That also became quite clear. And they are doing everything, it seems, to cut jobs. Look at all the layoffs. And remember, a third of the federal employee workforce are veterans. And they've been laid off, let go, fired by the tens of thousands.

They're also doing everything they can to increase costs, it seems. Tariffs, which would be devastating, going to raise the price of everything that we buy and rely on. So they are acting in ways that are diametrically opposed to what we're trying to do as governors, causing a lot of hurt, a lot of chaos. I'll give you an example, Lulu. Massachusetts, we're home to life sciences.

There is a ton of research and innovation. We're number one in healthcare. And here within Massachusetts, we depend on funding from the National Institute of Health, as do a lot of states, so-called red states and blue states. He wants to cut all of that.

Which means that people who right now are researching the cure for your child if they get cancer or researching the cure, the treatment for Alzheimer's are no longer going to have access to that funding. That's outrageous.

Look, I was attorney general throughout the Trump won presidency and presidency. joined and led many cases suing him. So I'm not unfamiliar with the way he operates. It's incredibly important for AGs to continue to be in the courts. They, like we back during Trump one, are having success. How I look at things as it's been consistent for me.

If the president is going to work and support the state of Massachusetts, I will work with the president and the federal administration. When he is not, then I will be the first to stand up and fight for the people of Massachusetts. I think that is probably the attitude of most Democratic governors, at least.

I think the premise of that question is totally off. Tell me why. And I think the notion that these are, quote, political fights is totally off. When I brought suits as an attorney general and when other AGs I worked with brought suits, because a lot of these were multi-state suits, why were they multi-state suits? Why were a bunch of AGs joining in the same lawsuit?

It's because there was some action taken by Trump during Trump 1. that hurt people in our states. As attorney general, you're there to represent the people of your state, to protect their interests and to protect their rights. So when somebody like Donald Trump illegally cuts off access to healthcare, violates the law, Of course, your AG can and should sue. That's not a political issue.

That's an attorney general doing his or her job vindicating the rights.
