In April, I questioned Secretary Hegseth about the Ecuadorian boat strikes & US involvement in them. The Secretary accused me of making false accusations. Today’s Washington Post article proves otherwise. I am demanding an immediate investigation into this program & his remarks misleading Congress.
Sending sincere condolences to the families of the two soldiers killed in Jordan and praying that the soldier still missing is found safe and soon.
Yesterday afternoon, I visited the Plymouth County Correctional Facility again. And I can tell you that this administration’s inhumane polities are doing nothing to strengthen our borders or communities. In fact, ICE’s illegal actions make all of us less safe, as we saw this week in Biddeford.
How many people need to die at ICE’s hands before they - and this administration - are held accountable?
Congratulations and thank you to the Town of Yarmouth and all involved on such a meaningful observance of the 250th anniversary of the Town’s Declaration of Independence and recognition of the 447 men of Old Yarmouth who fought in the Revolution.
Over 160 years after emancipation on Juneteenth, Donald Trump and the GOP are doing everything in their power to rip away the freedoms that generations of courageous Americans have fought and died to preserve. I refuse to stand down, and together, we will continue to fight for a more perfect union.
Yesterday, the House passed via discharge petition the Ukraine Support Act. In the absence of House GOP action, House Democrats and a few brave Republicans reaffirmed their support for Ukraine. This bill includes billions in vital assistance to Ukraine and comprehensive anti-Russia sanctions.
Thank you @repmarktakano.bsky.social!

President Trump's war of choice in Iran is costing Americans millions. Tonight, I voted yes with the majority of House Members to pass an Iran war powers resolution making clear my opposition to this war.
The House has spoken, and President Trump must end it.
Earlier today I asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio about his failure to address the seriousness of Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.

Destroy the facts, replace it with their own propaganda and replace an independent justice system with one they control. This is what authoritarian run countries do. NPR Story: npr.org/2026/05/26/nx-s1-5834992/trum...
Trump's deeply unpopular war in Iran has cost the American people billions. But instead of letting the House vote to end the war, Republicans canceled the vote.
Speaker Johnson can't prolong the inevitable and it is time Republicans face up to the reality that this war must end.
As a friend who served with Barney Frank from the Massachusetts House to the United States House, I saw up close Barney's commitment to the needs of the most needy. His legislative style encompassed skill, intellect, and, most importantly, pragmatism. Full Stmt:
I am proud to lead the Ukraine Support Act with Reps. Meeks and Hoyer. The Discharge petition on this legislation now has 218 signatures and sends a strong message to President Trump and Speaker Johnson that the majority of the House supports the US fulfilling our promises to Ukraine.
