BOSTON — As grocery prices soar and working families brace for the next rent hike, Governor Maura Healey is spending her time doing what she does best — blaming Donald Trump.

The same governor who found billions to shelter, feed, and transport migrants across Massachusetts now says there’s nothing left for the taxpayers who actually live here.

Healey warned this week that more than a million residents could lose their SNAP benefits if Washington doesn’t act — but her performance blaming Trump for “taking food away from families” landed flat with voters who remember where the money went.

Just last year, the governor’s team poured nearly $1 billion into emergency hotel housing for migrant families, complete with free meals, transportation, and 24-hour staffing. The state still hasn’t recovered. Budgets are bursting, schools are under strain, and food banks are running dry — yet Healey keeps reaching for the same script: cry crisis, blame Trump, spend more.

Massachusetts now spends $58 billion a year, the largest budget in its history, but somehow the people paying for it are the only ones getting squeezed. There’s money for consultants, climate czars, and new “equity” programs. There’s money for migrants, for contractors, for photo ops. What there isn’t money for — apparently — is citizens who can’t afford to eat.

The contrast writes itself: billions for migrants, zero for Americans.

Healey’s defenders say she’s showing compassion. Critics call it hypocrisy. Either way, the message from Beacon Hill is clear — if you’re a taxpayer, you’re last in line.

So when the governor takes the podium again to lecture the state about “Trump’s shutdown” and “federal failures,” Massachusetts families already know the truth. The money didn’t vanish. It was spent. Just not on them.
