News of the Day from a Crazy Blue State

In this week’s episode, Jennifer takes center stage. Jennifer is an experienced attorney and political strategist, known for her leadership as former Chairwoman of the Massachusetts Republican Party and as the founder of Pocketbook Project. Jennifer has built her career championing conservative values, government transparency, and women's participation in politics across Massachusetts. Her work continues to focus on fiscal responsibility, advocating for effective public policy, and empowering citizens to engage in governmental processes.

Jennifer covers a single day’s worth of current headlines in Massachusetts, detailing the financial gains of members of Congress from the state, including Ayanna Pressley, Elizabeth Warren, and Katherine Clark. She breaks down the Massachusetts budget’s recent growth under Governor Healey and examines changes in government spending, rising utility costs, and resident outmigration. The episode also highlights proposals from the Boston City Council to create an immigrant emergency response fund and addresses how public and private funds are being allocated at the local level, all while the local support for seniors, veterans, and the state’s homeless are being ignored.

“We should be helping our homeless. We should be helping our elderly, number one and two. We should be helping our veterans.”
