The agents who were on the scene of Alex Pretti’s murder should be on leave, not out working in a different state. Here’s my letter to Sec. Noem, demanding that she follow DHS policy by removing these agents from the streets and guaranteeing their cooperation. Full letter: https://loom.ly/DCOhnoM

I got off our emergency House Dems virtual caucus meeting a little earlier, where I was grateful to hear from Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Governor Tim Walz, two former House colleagues, about what they’re encountering in dealing with the administration’s lawlessness in Minneapolis.

Watch the videos. Share them. Count the shots. It’s not easy to watch - and it shouldn’t be. But every American must understand what federal agents are doing in our names, and we must believe our eyes. My full statement in the image below (with alt text):

Today, I spoke on the phone with President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola to discuss the transatlantic relationship, tariff threats, & bolstering shared security.   The EU is an indispensable ally, including in the Arctic, & the transatlantic alliance is stronger when we work together.

Yesterday, I met with Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado. I thanked her for her leadership and courage and expressed my support with my bipartisan House Foreign Affairs colleagues for the democratic aspirations of the Venezuelan people.

I have signed on as a co-sponsor of the Articles of Impeachment against Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

Tonight I introduced the bipartisan No Funds for NATO Invasion Act, prohibiting the Trump administration from invading the territories of any NATO ally. Story: https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/01/12/congress/house-lawmakers-introduce-bipartisan-nato-bill-00723206

These three frames, synchronized with each gunshot by the Washington Post, show the ICE agent’s legs beside the car with each shot. The statements from Trump, Vance, and Noem contradict the facts. An independent investigation is essential to ensuring justice for Renee Good.

Withdrawing from 66 international organizations is not America first. It is America alone. https://apnews.com/article/united-nations-trump-international-organizations-withdrawal-d704fb9b444dc9cf569865d391b544a6

Some thoughts on the ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good and the reaction from the Trump Administration as a former District Attorney -

Ambassador of Denmark to the United States Jesper Møller Sørensen and the Head Representative of Greenland in the US Jacob Isbosethsen came to my office this afternoon for an emergency meeting to discuss Greenland and the importance of NATO. On Greenland, the message is clear: it's not for sale.

We must remember January 6th for what it was - a violent attempt to overthrow the peaceful transfer of power - and not for what the President and his followers want us to believe.

The Trump Tariffs cost US families an average of more than $1,200 in 2025 even as small businesses work hard to absorb increases to minimize the impact on consumers. These tariffs are not being paid by foreign countries - they're being paid by all of us.

On 9/11, Denmark stood with the US. They lost 44 soldiers in Afghanistan - one of the highest per capita losses of any nation. This is The Who Donald Trump is disparaging - our NATO ally that answered the call. The future of Greenland is up to its people, not Stephen Miller and Donald Trump.

If you are impacted by the massive increase in healthcare costs starting this month I want to hear from you - share your story: https://keating.house.gov/yourpremiums

Donald Trump is no more the legitimate president of Venezuela than was Nicholas Maduro.

My statement on President Trump’s unilateral action to send our military into Venezuela on a personal impulse under false fentanyl narco-trafficking allegations and without Congressional authority.

While the GOP have raised premiums for now, the fight isn’t over. When I return to DC next week, I will fight alongside my Dem colleagues to restore the ACA tax credits and reverse the huge premium increases that are making life even harder for 32,000 of our neighbors here in SE Mass.

Today we celebrate new beginnings and the potential of the year ahead. Wishing you health and happiness in 2026!

Recalling career Ambassadors is a reckless move that harms America’s credibility and does nothing to protect the interests of Americans. This administration should be expanding international engagement, not politicizing the foreign service. I urge Secretary Rubio to reverse course.

I am glad that we now have enough support in the House to pass a 3 year ACA tax credit extension under a discharge petition. But the 32,000 residents of Southeastern Massachusetts facing thousands of dollars in monthly premium increases cannot wait until Congress returns in the New Year to vote.

Productive meeting today w/ Ukrainian Ambassador Olha Stefanishyna and repjimcosta.bsky.social , mcbride.house.gov, and titus.house.gov to discuss the necessity of US-backed security guarantees for Kyiv and Ukraine's European future. I look forward to our continued work together in the new year.

Tevis and I had a great time at today’s Falmouth Christmas Parade, but Moby stole the show per usual. Thanks to the Falmouth Chamber and to all of the volunteers and small businesses who worked together to bring the parade and the entire Holidays by the Sea celebration to life this weekend.

The American public should see what happened during the second strike of a suspected Venezuelan drug boat - my op-ed in today's Boston Globe: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/03/opinion/strike-drug-boat-hegseth/ @globeopinion.bsky.social

The tapes of the second strike must be released - not just to Congress, but to the American people. Thanks to MSNOW for having me on today to discuss.

Happy Thanksgiving - I hope your day is filled with family, friends, and gratitude.

WH's 28 pt plan for Ukraine is total capitulation to Putin. Ukraine's future is up to Ukraine, & Europe as well as the international community must be at the table - it must be rejected. More below:

Productive conversation today with the Ambassador of Colombia to the United States, Amb. Daniel García-Peña, on efforts to counter transnational crime and the impacts of the admin's illegal boat strikes.

All the credit to the survivors who stepped up to make their voices heard in an effort to make sure that no child should ever again have to go through the trauma that they experienced, and that no White House can dismiss their lived experience as a hoax.

The Trump Administration is illegally blowing up boats and undertaking extrajudicial killings in the western hemisphere and the American people deserve evidence and facts, not bluster. My full statement:

If you have plans to escape the cold this winter, now is the time to take a look at your passport. With routine processing times of 4-6 weeks and a suggestion to allow an additional 2 weeks on both ends for mailing, time is running out for routine processing before the February school break.

Today we thank and honor the men and women who have served our nation and the families that have sacrificed alongside them. To all who have served, I extend my deepest gratitude today and always: Thank you for your service

POTUS is in court again, fighting to prevent the distribution of SNAP benefits, and now he’s focused on penalizing states like MA that are stepping up to feed residents who are going hungry while the administration wages its fight in court to prevent the use of available funds to sustain SNAP.

I was glad to stop by the Dartmouth Friends of the Elderly's annual Veterans Appreciation Luncheon today to say thank you to the men and women who have served our nation and to congratulate this year's honorees, Norm Gunderson and Bob Mayo, on their recognitions.

The Trump administration has once again opted to cut food assistance to hungry seniors, children, veterans, and people with disabilities. This is a manufactured crisis that continues to get worse as it drags on due to the legally and morally questionable decisions made by this administration.

Open Enrollment starts today, and that means many of you will be exploring options as you face steep premium increases as a result of changes made by Republicans in Congress. If you're one of the 93% of ACA enrollees facing increases, please share your story: https://keating.house.gov/yourpremiums

We knew POTUS was acting illegally by refusing to issue November SNAP benefits, and now we have the court order to prove it. 42 million Americans - and 1 in 9 veterans - are facing hunger tomorrow because Donald Trump chose to break the law and put his own politics ahead of the American people.

POTUS is faced with two options: he can direct USDA to pay out SNAP benefits or he can do nothing and force 42 million Americans to go hungry. Starving Americans to score political points shouldn’t be considered an option at all, but the cruelty all too often seems to be the point these days.

I am a co-sponsor of H.R. 5401 - the Pay Our Troops Act of 2026 which will ensure our military personnel do not miss their October 15th paycheck, and I joined my colleagues in calling on Speaker Johnson to reconvene the House so we can vote on it ASAP.

My office has compiled a list of FAQs regarding the current GOP shutdown. We will update it as more information is received from federal agencies and as new questions come in. If your question isn’t answered here, please give us a call to address your inquiry: http://keating.house.gov/shutdown

Republicans decided long ago that they could govern without Democrats, and while the GOP may not think they need us, the American people do, and we are answering their call to fight and negotiate.

We are facing an unprecedented health care crisis caused by Trump & the GOP – with ACA credits set to expire, 29,000 of our neighbors here in our district will see their health care costs rise. We are in the midst of the largest cut to American healthcare in history - that’s why we're fighting back.

If acetaminophen is too big of a word, and not eating horse dewormer or injecting Lysol is too big of a concept, you’re probably not talking to a medical doctor. Do not take medical advice from politicians, seek it from your own doctors, and get a second opinion when necessary.

Trump's vacillation on Russia and Putin must stop. There's too much at stake. We have the ability to avoid a direct conflict with troops on the ground in Poland, but we must act now. I commend our Polish and NATO allies for their measured response.

I have signed onto the discharge petition to move forward with the disclosure of the Epstein files - and I applaud the brave women who came forward yesterday to share their story.

Today’s diplomatic TACO didn’t deliver a ceasefire, nor did it result in the promised “severe consequences” for Russia. The only thing Donald Trump did was allow Putin more time to wage his illegal war.

Occupying Gaza City will only endanger hundreds of thousands of innocent Palestinians who will again be displaced by this conflict, worsen the humanitarian situation, and further threaten the remaining hostages. Full statement:

When Trump entered office, the average tariff on European products was 1.5%. His new trade "deal" with the EU raises tariffs to 15%, passing that cost onto the American people. Bullying allies into paying tariffs only hurts Americans who will now pay more for everyday products.

I'm sure Republicans wanted this immoral bill passed in the middle of the night, but we're not letting that happen. We're making sure the American public has every chance to see eactly what's going on.

You know, it might be a big bad ugly bill, but it's an easy vote. I'm voting no. Hell no.
