President Donald Trump started the State of the Union with a bang, honoring America’s 250th birthday, praising WWII and Korean War heroes, and awarding high honors to a brave Coast Guardsman and a gold medal-winning hockey player. And the president crowned it all by awarding two rare Medals of Honor.In Other News
Trump managed to shame even a few Democrats into standing up for the Olympic men’s hockey team, which won gold for the first time since the historic “Miracle on Ice,” and the Medal of Honor winners. But mostly it was Republicans who applauded them and also the other patriots whom Trump specially invited and praised. The president also honored a helicopter pilot who displayed extraordinary courage during the capture of Nicolás Maduro while sustaining severe injuries.
Eric Slover is an Army helicopter pilot who suffered severe wounds while piloting a Chinook helicopter during the daring operation to capture narcoterrorist Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. Slover had multiple leg wounds yet still brought in his helicopter safely. Trump awarded him the Medal of Honor.

Audit the Massachusetts State Legislature
Massachusetts AG representing lawmakers against DiZoglio in audit lawsuit: ‘Insanity’
Andrea Campbell Urges SJC To Toss Diana DiZoglio Lawsuit Seeking To Get Legislature To Comply With Audit
It's a shame DOGE is not available for freelance opportunities
Here lies the rub
Current Law and Legal Dispute: Under current Massachusetts law, the State Auditor does not have statutory authority to audit the legislature without its consent. In November 2023, Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell issued a formal opinion stating that the existing audit statute does not extend to the legislative branch, based on the plain language of the law and historical precedent.
Question 1 and Voter Approval: In November 2024, voters approved Question 1, a ballot initiative that explicitly authorizes the State Auditor to audit the legislature, including its accounts, programs, and activities. This law added a new section to state law granting the auditor access to legislative records, though tax returns are excluded.
Ongoing Legal Conflict: Despite the voter-approved law, legislative leaders—House Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka—have refused to comply, arguing that such audits violate separation of powers under the state constitution. The State Auditor, Diana DiZoglio, filed a complaint with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in early 2025 to enforce the audit, but as of February 2026, the dispute remains unresolved and has escalated into a broader constitutional standoff.
Judicial and Constitutional Concerns: Legal experts, including former State Auditor Suzanne Bump and constitutional scholars, have raised concerns that the audit authority could politicize the auditor’s office or overstep constitutional boundaries. Additionally, two state courts have recently refused audit requests from DiZoglio, citing the Attorney General’s opinion and constitutional questions.
In summary, while no law currently authorizes unilateral audits of the legislature, the voter-approved Question 1 seeks to change that, but its enforcement is blocked by constitutional challenges and non-compliance from legislative leadership.

Massachusetts Auditor Diana DiZoglio’s Lawsuit to Enforce Voter-Approved Legislative Audit Law
BOSTON — The Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance today expressed strong support for State Auditor Diana DiZoglio’s decision to file suit with the Supreme Judicial Court to enforce the voter-approved audit law requiring transparency and accountability from the Legislature.Seems like they are doing everything they can to "End Their Own Democracy" using ignorance of the law as a ploy to delay the inevitable
In 2024, more than 72 percent of Massachusetts voters overwhelmingly approved Question 1, granting the state auditor explicit authority to audit the Legislature and access records related to spending, contracts, and internal operations. More than a year later, legislative leaders continue to defy that mandate by refusing to turn over a single document.
“This lawsuit is about whether the will of the voters still matters on Beacon Hill. Massachusetts residents voted by a landslide for transparency, and legislative leadership responded by stonewalling, lawyering up, and hoping the issue would fade away,” said Paul Diego Craney, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance.
“The prolonged refusal to comply with the law undermines public trust and reinforces the perception that lawmakers operate under a separate set of rules. No branch of government should be above oversight, especially when taxpayer dollars are involved. If legislators believe they can simply ignore a law that applies to them, then voter confidence in state government erodes even further,” noted Craney.
The auditor’s lawsuit seeks a straightforward remedy: compel the House and Senate to produce the requested financial and operational records and allow the auditor to carry out the audit Massachusetts voters explicitly authorized.
MassFiscal noted that the dispute comes as residents face rising taxes, soaring energy costs, and an ongoing affordability crisis, making transparency around government spending more important than ever.
“At a time when families are being asked to pay more and accept less, legislative leaders should be opening the books, not slamming them shut. Auditor DiZoglio is doing exactly what voters asked her to do and MassFiscal stands ready to support that initiative. It’s time for Beacon Hill to finally comply with the will of the voters,” closed Craney.
