Perhaps President Donald Trump will name Gov. Maura Healey the way in which he phoned fellow Trump hater Sen. Elizabeth Warren final Monday.
Thursday can be an ideal time as a result of that’s when Healey will give her annual “State of the State” speech earlier than a joint session of the Legislature.
She is going to inform Massachusetts what a great job she is doing and the way she is going to do extra if reelected.
If something is incorrect, it’ll be Trump’s fault.
Maybe Trump will watch, if he isn’t too busy taking up Greenland and Cuba, to associate with his different worldly accomplishments.
In any case, he did watch leftist Warren on tv when she gave her speech on the Nationwide Press Membership the place she criticized him over a variety of points.
However Warren additionally introduced up capping bank card rates of interest and creating extra reasonably priced housing, each of which Trump helps. So possibly that’s why he referred to as.
One thing else is probably understanding between the 2, a potential detente, as a result of every week has passed by and Trump has not referred to as Warren Pocahontas and Warren has not referred to as him a dictator.
There isn’t any probability that Trump will name Healey, after all. She in all probability wouldn’t take the decision anyway. And he or she is not going to name him.
That’s as a result of a part of her reelection technique is to marketing campaign towards Trump and negatively tie all three of her Republicans opponents to him, as if supporting Trump is a horrible factor.
The lame, left-wing media laps it up anyway.
These three candidates are Brian Shortsleeve, Mike Kennealy and Mike Minogue.
Warren, by the way in which, isn’t up for reelection till 2030 — so politically, she will afford to speak to Trump, and possibly even get one thing executed as a substitute of simply whining.
Healey is up for reelection this yr, although. So how wouldn’t it look to her lunatic leftist supporters if Trump-hater Healey talked to the president?
Progressive hearts would break.
The decision Healey ought to take, although, is one from fellow Democrat state Auditor Diana DiZoglio.
She is being blocked by the ability brokers on the State Home, particularly Lawyer Basic Andrea Campbell, in her effort to audit the Massachusetts Legislature. DiZoglio may use the assistance.
The voting public in 2024 overwhelmingly accredited a poll query, which DiZoglio campaigned on, authorizing the auditor to audit the Legislature.
The vote was 2,282,333 votes (72%) in favor to 906,034 (28%) towards.
Since its passage, nonetheless, the Democrat-controlled Legislature, led by Home Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka, have fought its implementation on constitutional grounds.
In addition they consider that such an audit is pointless as a result of the legislature audits itself.
DiZoglio’ try and get the courts to rule on the matter has additionally been blocked by Lawyer Basic Andrea Campbell, who has refused to characterize DiZoglio, who can’t go to court docket with out illustration by the lawyer normal.
Campbell maintains that DiZoglio has not offered her workplace with sufficient data. DiZoglio says that she has given Campbell the whole lot she has requested for after which some.
The legislature in flip has rewarded Campbell by approving an additional $7 million within the AG’s funds.
DiZoglio accused Campbell of “conspiring” with Mariano and Spilka to kill the hassle.
“What we’re all witnessing earlier than our very eyes is nothing wanting public corruption,” DiZoglio mentioned.
Healey, like Campbell, campaigned on offering extra accountability and transparency in authorities, however she gained’t facet with DiZoglio, or the individuals who voted to open the books.
Healey can “arise” to Trump, however she will’t stand as much as the legislature.
DiZoglio could also be on her personal on the State Home, however she has 2,282,333 voters behind her.
