THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2025 Page 21 BHRC | FROM Page 17 QUOTABLE QUOTES — To no one’s surprise, Gov. Maura Healey and President Donald Trump had sharply diff erent views of last week’s elections. Here are some of their post-election quotes. “[The elections were] a resounding rejection of Donald Trump.” ---Gov. Healey. “The results yesterday, across the board — it’s a referendum on Donald Trump. People are not happy with how he’s handling the economy. They’re not happy about the fact that under his presidency, prices continue to go up. People struggle with affordability all around this country, and he hasn’t delivered on what he promised to and that’s what last night was about.” ---Gov. Healey. “It’s pretty clear what’s happening. [Donald Trump], your boss, your leader-in-chief, is taking you all down … and you got midterms next year. Read the room. This isn’t working for people.” ---Gov. Healey. “After last night’s results, the decision facing all Americans could not be more clear. We have a choice between communism and common sense.” ---President Trump. “If you want to see what Congressional Democrats wish to do to America, just look at the result of yesterday’s election in New York, where their party installed a communist as the mayor of the largest city in the nation.” ---President Trump. “Last night I think, if you read the pollsters — the shutdown was a big factor for Republicans. They say that I wasn’t on the ballot was the biggest factor.” ---President Trump. HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of November 3-7, the House met for a total of four hours and 51 minutes and the Senate met for a total of three hours and 57 minutes. Mon. Nov. 3 House 11:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Senate 11:03 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. Tues. Nov. 4 No House session. No Senate session. Wed. Nov. 5 House 11:01 a.m. to 3:24 p.m. No Senate session. Thurs.
