On the administrationmixed

Background

Every U.S. state has a governor's office that publishes press releases, statements and news on its official website. Examples include the Texas governor's news page, the Massachusetts Governor's Press Office, the Connecticut Office of the Governor and the Hawaii Office of the Governor. These offices are created by state constitutions and statutes, and their staff are usually appointed by the governor. They publish and promote the governor's actions, appointments, bill signings, emergency declarations and policy positions. They do not offer independent reporting, and their material is promotional by nature, though it is often a primary source for official actions and quotes. Their orientation follows the sitting governor: Republican governors' offices have generally been supportive of the second Trump administration, while Democratic governors' offices have often been critical on issues such as tariffs, immigration enforcement, federal funding and National Guard deployments, with some cooperation on disaster aid. Readers should check which state and governor a given item comes from, and treat its claims as official positions, not neutral reporting.
