As Massachusetts braces for the possible loss of federal funding streams that comprise about $16 billion of the state’s budget, Gov. Maura Healey tells GBH News that cuts imposed by the Trump administration could significantly change the fabric of life in Massachusetts.

“It’s devastating,” Healey said during her regular appearance on GBH’s Boston Public Radio.

Healey praised Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell and other attorneys general around the country for fighting to preserve federal funding that’s already been appropriated by Congress for the states, but also acknowledged that their efforts might not succeed in the long run.

“I want to be clear with the public: We do not have enough money as a state, we do not have enough money to even begin to make up for the shortfall,” Healey said. “We’re talking about $16 billion as part of an annual budget. Our stabilization fund is only $8 billion. … So the scale of this is massive, and it’s devastating for states, all states around the country.”

Healey said a number of different programs could be affected by cuts that have already been announced and may still be forthcoming, from Mass. Health to school-meal funding to support services for special education students in Massachusetts public schools.

While Healey said her administration is working to make a public case against federal cuts, she also urged Massachusetts residents and others to give voice to how their lives have been affected by federal cutbacks and funding freezes.

“I’m encouraging people to talk about what’s happening to them, and to talk about it all around this country, and to bring the pressure on Congress, whose power by the way has been usurped,” Healey said. “[President Donald] Trump and [Elon] Musk have just run roughshod over Congress, and Republicans there seem to be totally fine with it. Well, it’s not totally fine when people are hurt every day by this.”

Healey also urged federal workers who’ve been laid off — including at the Boston office of the federal Department of Education — to explore job opportunities in Massachusetts by going to mass.gov/fedup .

“You have a place where you can go,” Healey said. “There’s resources to connect to with different job opportunities in state and local government. We’re also bringing in the private sector.

“My heart goes out to the federal workers who are all across this state, and people are going to see it,” she added. “Go to a national park — we’ve got national parks right here in Boston. See what’s happened … The next time you take your dad to a [Veterans Administration hospital], people are gone. People are gone from [the Occupational Safety and Health Administration] doing the inspections on worksites, or the inspections out on roads and bridges. People are gone from providing through the National Weather Service what we need to know in terms of storm information. It’s very, very serious.”
