As a member of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Military and Foreign Affairs, I will continue to work with my colleagues to provide our sons and daughters in uniform with the intelligence, training and equipment they need to complete their mission successfully and return home safely.

This buffoonery by an unqualified collection of stooges threatened to expose American warfighters to enemy anti-aircraft and naval countermeasures.
It is unacceptable that the incompetence and ineptitude of the Trump’s top military and national security officials allowed active U.S. battle plans to be discussed on an insecure network with random individuals who lacked authority or clearance.
I call on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to resign or be fired following the embarrassing mishandling of actionable intelligence regarding imminent military operations in Yemen.
I am grateful to everyone who stepped up today! Thank you! Let’s Fight Like Hell!
My thanks to NALC Branch 34 President Tom Rooney, Vice President John Fanning, Treasurer Bobby Damatin, Craig Samoluk of Branch 334, Chris Persampieri NALC Rep., APWU President Raymond Bell, and all the members of NALC and APWU who coordinated and attended the rally.
We must be united in our support for each other if we are to succeed in rescuing our country from authoritarian rule.
As I noted in my speech, the “Fight Like Hell” rally was not just a labor rally but a pro-democracy rally. I called upon all those who cherish democracy, liberty and justice to join in this fight.
Great to join hundreds of Letter Carriers and Postal Workers at the “Fight Like Hell” rally on Boston Common today to protest President Trump’s and Elon Musk’s unlawful attacks Postal Employees, Veterans, and Federal workers and to stand up for Democracy and the rule of law.
Today, I met with fellow members of the House Litigation Working Group to plan and support legal challenges to this unlawful action. I will work closely with my colleagues in Congress to stop this plan in its tracks and protect education funding for Massachusetts children and families.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts receives over $2 billion in annual funding from the Department of Education to help support nearly one million students enrolled in about 1,800 K-12 local schools and other institutions and programs across the state.
President Trump’s Executive Order to eliminate the Department of Education is unconstitutional and disastrous for American children. Congress established and funded the DoEd by statute and lawful appropriations. The President does not have the power to eliminate or dissolve this Department.
I will continue to work with my colleagues on the House Litigation Working Group to oppose Trump’s attacks on federal workers.
The fundamental mission of this independent federal agency is to advance our national security by promoting development, peace, and stability in conflict zones in over 100 countries.
Today, a U.S. District Court Judge ruled that President Trump and Elon Musk “likely violated the United States Constitution in multiple ways” and issued a Temporary Restraining Order against attempts to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
Wishing a happy St. Patrick’s Day to all those celebrating in the Massachusetts 8th Congressional District and across the country!
After a week-long detention, no allegations of misconduct have been charged against Mr. Khalil who applied for and received a green card in accordance with U.S. law. I also demanded that the Trump Administration immediately provide Congress with the legal basis for Mr. Khalil’s arrest.
Today, I joined my Congressional Colleagues in sending a letter to Secretary of State Rubio and DHS Secretary Noem expressing our opposition to the unwarranted detention of Mahmoud Khalil.
This week, I spoke with Boston Public Radio about my work in Washington to combat the unlawful actions taken by President Trump and Elon Musk. Please find the link to the full interview below.
