@theripsnorter No way its only 400k. Framingham has 50k alone

Pew Research estimates there are 400,000 unauthorized immigrants in Massachusetts (2023) Migration Policy Institute est. 388,000 (2023)

Switzerland considering population cap of 10 million to ease pressure on housing, infrastructure, and welfare. For equal pop. density, Massachusetts would need 500,000 fewer people. Sounds about right.

@elonmusk Or... hear me out .... we can just not track everything everyone in the world does to record it and use it to control people later

So much space in space that it boggles the mind!

@SwannMarcus89 If you don't hurt the citizens they won't be forced to give you more money

Portland’s budget is 8.5 billion compared to Nashville’s budget of 3.8 billion despite Nashville having like 50k more people How on Earth are you spending that much and you can’t find anything else to cut before getting rid of a neighborhood’s only fire truck?

@theripsnorter @bostonherald Now do the math per tax payer and not per resident 🤯

@bostonherald $63.4 billion ÷ 7,154,084 = ~$8,863 per capita That could leap MA to a Top 5 spender.

The House voted 149-9 around 7:10 p.m. Wednesday to pass a roughly $63.4 billion fiscal year 2027 budget, after adding about $81 million in new spending over three days of deliberations. bostonherald.com/2026/04/29/mas…

@MassGovernor @MassEducation @AssabetValley Which is absolutely useless due to the Journeyman/master to apprentice ratio. Hundreds of kids graduate from vo-techs and can't get jobs because there aren't enough people to train them. Another example of unions screwing everyone over to make sure they get paid more

At Assabet Valley Technical High School, students get hands-on training that sets them up for success, whether their next step is college or career. We’re investing $100M in career technical education — because building a strong, skilled workforce starts before graduation.

@TrollyP71 Because people leaving own homes, prices aren't going down enough for people to buy, so they need to build more "affordable housing" for illegals to live in

If MA has a declining population why do we need more housing?

@BasedMikeLee They think it's 100% and then they will demand the same from the millionaires

What exactly is the “fair share” that billionaires should pay? Is there any limit to that? Or is it always just … more?

@RealDanBlack @Las_Vegas_Jay @greg16676935420 Just the tip?

@Las_Vegas_Jay @greg16676935420 What if you just tip the Spearmint Rhino employees instead?

Why in the world would you tip after winning on a slot machine?

@BasedMikeLee Either the government does it itself, or it shouldn't be allowed to do it. If people want to donate to charities, they can do it without the government skimming first

No more federal funding for NGOs Who agrees?

@BTCBreadMan @grok what is a safe radius from golf course grounds to not worry about well water contamination from lawn chemicals

@BTCBreadMan Id be more worried about the golf course. Have you researched what the average radius is of water contamination? There have been enough lawsuits and studies, it should be easy to find

Wife and I found an amazing house today on 2 acres of land in a very nice neighborhood. Significant upgrade from our current home/yard/hood. The kiddos want to veto it because they would have to switch elementary schools. They are in 2nd grade and kindergarten. Dad advice?

@WallStreetApes Kindercare is the most expensive daycare in Massachusetts that isn't an ultra exclusive private school. She can get daycare for half that price but she won't get the clicks and rage bait for it

This woman lives in Boston, Massachusetts. She has a 6 month old child and needs childcare but she heard it was expensive She films herself walking into KinderCare, she got a quote: - 2 days a week cost $2,450 per month - 3 days a week cost $3,115 per month + $200 initiation fee yearly “Like that is crazy” “This is a true problem in the United States. Like this is really a legitimate problem that needs to be addressed because people can't afford childcare” Foreigners and illegals get this 100% for free, paid for by taxpayers Americans can’t afford to have kids but we’re paying for foreigners to have kids and replace us

@marcuslemonis This is the democracy they demand to have, where 51% can do whatever they want to the 49%. Also, 35k mail in votes from one district seems odd?

Does this mean Virginia is now gonna be anti-business, anti-democracy? No Party should do this.. This is just bad form and setting a terrible example for young people by telling them that if they don’t like the game just change the rules? this applies to everybody U2 Florida.

@FallRiverReport Because the state needs a middle man to run the phone service instead of just using Verizon 🙄 they could put a phone in every cell for what they pay to the middle man

In late 2023, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed legislation making phone calls, video calls, and electronic messaging free and unlimited for inmates in state prisons and county jails. Effective December 1, 2023, the "No Cost Communications" program shifted the financial burden from incarcerated individuals and their families to state taxpayers. Proponents argued that eliminating fees—previously around 12–14 cents per minute—would strengthen family ties, support rehabilitation, and reduce recidivism. Massachusetts became one of the first states to extend free calls to county jails as well as state facilities. However, usage far exceeded initial projections. What was once a modest revenue source for facilities (with sheriffs' offices sometimes netting revenue) quickly became a significant expense. Reports indicate the program cost approximately $12.5 million for sheriffs' offices in recent fiscal years, with overall annual taxpayer costs climbing toward or exceeding $24 million in some estimates. On Tuesday in April 2026, Governor Healey filed a supplemental budget that included $22.5 million specifically to fund these no-cost calls as part of a larger ~$227 million package. This comes amid ongoing shortfalls; the state's dedicated trust fund appropriation has fluctuated, dropping as low as $1 million in some proposals before supplemental infusions.

@Zigmanfreud But she's not anonymous, her name is everywhere. Supposedly she has texts telling friends it happened and a had a rape kit done at the doctor's office

I’m sorry, I loathe Eric Swalwell, but you shouldn’t be allowed to destroy a man’s career with a sex abuse allegation without at least… -A lawsuit/criminal charge -Public ID -Publicly providing alleged electronic communications (unclear here) -Not having TWO very drunk “rapes”

@TheMaineWire @JanetMillsforME And just like that, everyone is going to stop paying rent and wait until this passes and they can file for state money

The budget signed by @JanetMillsforME includes $11 million for free rent to applicants who are behind on payments. Each applicant can claim up to $19,200 in taxpayer funds. U.S. citizenship is not listed as a requirement to be eligible. A "foreign School Record that contains a photograph" is an accepted form of identification to qualify for the program. Insanity... The provision was sponsored by Reps. Deqa Dhalac and Ambureen Rana.

@MorosKostas Supposedly she has proof, including texts talking about it and medical records showing she needed to be tested at the hospital the next day

My general belief is that politically-timed accusations should be ignored, unless the alleged victim has proof. If you want to come forward at a time when it would do maximum political damage to someone, as opposed to any time before that, then don't be surprised when people don't see you as credible. That said, Swalwell had no reservations about going after Kavanaugh. So, it's only fair to make him live by those same rules.

@nypost You don't have a right to go to another country and protest about anything. You are not a citizen, you do not have constitutional rights

Immigration board denies Mahmoud Khalil's appeal, bringing activist one step closer to deportation trib.al/ZYHdolX

@RealJessica Well well well

Pregnant mom of 5 shows the groceries she got with her $415 in food stamps. Why are people having all these kids while relying on government assistance?? Makes no sense to me.

@ack4whales Don't worry, tax payers will still foot the bill in the end
