Governor Maura Healey criticized Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency for potentially compromising the personal information of millions of Americans in its efforts to streamline government operations. Healey expressed outrage over reports that Musk’s team had accessed sensitive government systems, including payment and contracting systems at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Democrats and activists have described Musk’s actions as a “coup,” leading to protests and concerns about government overreach.
Healey, drawing on her experience as a former attorney general, condemned Musk and his inexperienced team for having unauthorized access to personal information, calling it dangerous and irresponsible. She emphasized the need for Americans to be deeply concerned and outraged by the situation, urging Congress to push back against Musk and Trump’s administration. Healey also encouraged speaking out against the harm caused by government actions.
In a coordinated effort with other Democratic governors and lawmakers, Senator Elizabeth Warren took to the Senate floor to hold up the nomination of Russell Vought, Trump’s pick to run the Office of Management and Budget. This move was part of the resistance against Trump’s federal funding freeze and executive orders, with Warren highlighting the impact on Massachusetts. The actions of Musk’s team and the Trump administration have sparked a wave of concern and opposition, prompting calls for transparency and accountability in government operations.
