I for one am shocked that the president who renamed it the “Department of War” has, in fact, been a warmonger.

You know what’s weak & stupid? Dragging us into another costly endless war that puts our troops & innocent civilians in harm’s way.
Strong leaders have moral clarity & use power responsibly. Weak men like Trump make other peoples’ kids fight in their unnecessary, illegal wars.
It is entirely consistent to hate Maduro & strongly condemn the decision to remove him by force.
Trump did not seek & Congress did not grant authorization for this use of force.
Under our Constitution & laws, that makes it ILLEGAL.
My full statement:
Big Oil spent millions and millions to get Trump elected. They’re getting a great return on their investment.
Without authorization from Congress, and with the vast majority of Americans opposed to military action, Trump just launched an unjustified, illegal strike on Venezuela.
He says we don’t have enough money for healthcare for Americans—but somehow we have unlimited funds for war??
Earlier this month, I met with the parents of Umar Khalid, who has been jailed in India for over 5 years without trial. Congressman Raskin & I are leading our colleagues to urge that he be granted bail & a fair, timely trial in accordance with international law.
There’s nothing worse than losing a child—especially to cancer.
From one parent to another, I’m sending my prayers to Caroline and Edwin as they grieve the loss of their daughter.
I’ll be blunt: this year sucked. But while Republicans ripped away folks’ health care & food assistance to give massive tax breaks to billionaires, my staff and I fought to deliver for #MA02. Here’s some of what we accomplished for YOU.
This is exactly why I introduced a War Powers Resolution to end all hostilities against Venezuela. Nearly every Republican voted against it.
The American People don’t want another endless war over oil. My colleagues need to grow a spine & stand up against these illegal hostilities.
He is turning everything he touches into one of his tacky casinos—at taxpayer expense—while the American people can’t afford rent, healthcare, or groceries. Utterly insane.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! Hoping your day is filled with joy, peace, and love as you gather with friends and family to celebrate.
My Republican colleagues don’t have the guts to face their constituents & listen to their concerns. If they won’t listen, Democrats will.
Flooding is making the horrific humanitarian crisis in Gaza even worse. I’m grateful that aid organizations are getting food to some of those in need, but Palestinian families need more help. President Trump must pressure Netanyahu to let in ALL humanitarian aid—including shelter—NOW!
The DOJ's only client is the American People.
Its purpose is to defend the Constitution—not serve as the president’s personal defense attorney.
Tonight, I joined a town hall hosted by the Worcester Afghan Cultural Association & the Refugee Assistance Center. Folks in the Afghan refugee community are brave patriots—many fought with American soldiers & heroically served our country. Removing TPS is immoral, & it’s putting their lives at risk.
This is what happens when billionaires control the press.
Corporate media execs at @cbsnews.com are pulling punches to protect profits & make sure their next big merger gets approved.
This self-censorship is awful for journalism & terrible for democracy.
#ChagSameach from Westborough as we approach the end of Hanukkah!
Proud to join Congregation B’nai Shalom’s annual Menorah lighting. May the festival of lights bring health, happiness, warmth and love to you and your loved ones—and may we all recommit to building a more peaceful and just world.
In the richest country in history, no one should go hungry—especially during the holidays.
Today, I helped distribute food & toys at El Buen Samaritano in Worcester. I’m so grateful to my good friend Mari Gonzalez & her entire team at EBS for their tireless work.
