I stand in solidarity with Teamsters Local 3. Every worker deserves dignity, and that starts with a fair contract. Smurfit Westrock needs to get to the bargaining table and negotiate in good faith.

Whether you support the President or not, you know this comment is disgusting. Robert Mueller earned a Bronze Star with valor and a Purple Heart as a Marine fighting for this country. He was a great American. Donald Trump is a horrible human being and an embarrassment to the United States.

What America saw last night was not just "an immigrant," but a great American. A patriot. A reminder of what courage looks like.

Wishing all who observe a blessed Lent and Ramadan Mubarak! These sacred seasons invite reflection, compassion, and renewal, and highlight the strength and richness found in America’s diverse traditions. May this season bring you peace and meaningful time with loved ones.

On Feb 24, you’ll hear about two very different visions for America. Shot: Trump’s “State of the Union” Chaser: My “State of the Swamp” Rebuttal Livestream free at DEFIANCE.org/sotu Or attend in person with discount code: FROGFRIEND15

Grateful to join @teamsters.bsky.social on Sunday and proud to stand with them. Unions like Joint Council 10 are the backbone of our economy. Affordability starts with standing united as working people and making both everyday life and the future better for everyone.

In a democracy, the people have the power. Well over a year ago in MA, 72% of voters demanded transparency by voting to audit the Legislature. Voters did their job. Beacon Hill needs to do theirs. Stop standing in the way of democracy. Let Diana DiZoglio conduct the audit the voters asked for.

Is anyone surprised that Ghislaine Maxwell continues not to cooperate with investigations into Epstein’s accomplices? If you actually are surprised, ask yourself who she’s protecting. Because it’s certainly not the victims she and Epstein trafficked, abused, and raped.

Full stop.

Trump is a racist. That’s not an opinion. It’s fact. He's not even hiding it anymore. His latest racist post about the Obama’s is another attempt to use racism for attention, to spread hate, normalize cruelty, and divide the country.

No masks, period. No excuses. I never wore a mask when I was fighting in a combat zone. ICE shouldn't wear masks in the streets of American cities.

I voted NO on the DHS funding bill that Chuck Schumer shamefully caved on. Cutting off funding and opposing Trump’s cruelty isn’t enough. We need an immigration system that actually reflects American values.

This is why America is supposed to have three co-equal branches of government. Ending Haitian TPS would tear families apart and weaken our economy. The fact we have to fight to protect TPS at all is even more validation that cruelty and racism drive this administration's agenda.

Black History Month reminds us that powerful moments accelerate progress, but they’re only symbolic if we’re not fighting to break down oppressive systems every day.

When a boat doesn’t come home, everyone in Gloucester feels it. We’re grieving with the families of the crew lost aboard the Lily Jean. For the families, this is also an economic shock. If you’re able to help, please visit fishingpartnership.org and designate your gift for the Lily Jean.

Earlier today, Epstein-related records were posted on the DOJ website. The contents are beyond deeply disturbing and obscene. My team has redacted some obscene, explicit language for social media in the excerpt below.

ENDORSEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT: VFRL is proud to announce our endorsement of U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, @sethmoulton.bsky.social , for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts. Seth is currently in the House of Representatives where he serves the constituents of Massachusetts' 6th District.

The violence is the point. What the Trump administration is doing here in Minnesota is so unbelievably un-American. If they were actually focused on their stated mission, they would be in a red state like Florida or Texas.

Abolish AND prosecute ICE.

Powwow Coffee has not only made itself a center for mutual aid in Minneapolis, it's also helping people understand the best ways to protest. This is what America is all about.

Abolishing ICE is step one.

Nazi Steve-O Greg Bovino thinks LARPing and a made-up rank turn child kidnapping into “duty.” This ends with you in prison.

Stephen Miller is a domestic terrorist.

I think we’ve all learned to take Donald Trump seriously when he says the craziest, most racist things. So when DHS talks about ICE removing 100 million people, we need to call it out and stand ready to stop it.

Nothing says “deporting the worst of the worst” quite like detaining a preschooler with a Spider-Man backpack. This should make anyone with a soul absolutely sick. Puppy-killing, child-kidnapping Kristi Noem needs to be impeached ASAP.

I am a hard “No” on tomorrow’s DHS funding bill. This is an agency defined by cruelty that just murdered an innocent mother, called her a “fucking bitch,” and laughed about it. Kristi Noem and Tom Homan’s army of ICE goons are untrained, unaccountable, and an embarrassment to the United States.

Didn't even take 24 hours for this to age well.

Dr. King believed in nonviolence, truth, justice, and the courage to build a more just democracy. Last night in Boston, I was honored to reflect on those values at Embrace Honors MLK 2026. Today, I joined the MLK Jr. Memorial Breakfast and local community events rooted in service and faith.

What happened in Minnesota was an outright murder for anyone who can look at it with their own two eyes. We should not be funding the continuation of ICE terrorizing American cities.

Impeach Kristi Noem. Prosecute ICE agents who violate the law. I’m joining Rep. @robinlynnekelly.bsky.social’s articles of impeachment as a cosponsor, and I introduced the NOEM act last month. Pass both now. End this reign of terror.

When facts threaten the leader, the cult attacks reality

@edmarkey.bsky.social - Vote for the War Powers Resolution this week to end this nonsense in Venezuela. We can’t afford any more of your regrettable votes.

You don't get to just invade a country because you don't like the leader and want its oil.

How the hell is war with Venezuela in America's best interest?

Marco Rubio is a snake and a liar.

Congress did not authorize this war. Venezuela posed no imminent threat to the United States. This is reckless, elective regime change risking American lives (Iraq 2.0) with no plan for the day after. Wars cost more than trophies.

President Trump says he's the president of peace. He delayed starting this war, because of whatever he's trying to start in Nigeria.

When you govern by fear and conformity instead of conviction, people get hurt. Republicans caved to Trump. Democratic leadership failed to stop it. Now ACA premiums are rising for millions of Americans. The cost of weak leadership is tangible, and Americans are paying real money for it.

I was sent to fight a war built on lies. Now Trump is doing it again in Venezuela. I'm fighting to stop it.

The Trump Admin is scrambling to censor any footage of last night's "60 Minutes" segment about the brutal conditions at CECOT since it aired in Canada. Screen record/download a copy of this critically important reporting ASAP. We cannot let this get buried. Every. American. Needs. To. See. This.

Trump has no shortage of enemies, so why obsess over Maduro? Did he see him on Epstein's island?

A redacted statement on the release of the incomplete, excessively redacted Epstein Files:

We all know Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. The law to release those files by midnight tonight is clear. Release the unclassified records. Redact victims' names of course but appropriately name EVERY SINGLE public official + public figure in the report without regard to reputation/politics.

Congress was wrong to authorize the Iraq War. I know because I was sent to fight it. Ground operations in Venezuela are a recipe for Iraq 2.0. We are on the brink of war with no authorization from Congress. We cannot let American service members die to satisfy Trump’s ego.

Great energy from the UMass Dems today! The future of the Democratic Party is in good hands.

Wait? I thought kicking out immigrants was supposed to free up jobs for Americans and make unemployment go down? Maybe the Trump economy is worse than people think… 🤔

The President of the United States calling for Democratic members of Congress to be hanged helps explain why members of the military may need to disobey unlawful orders at some point.

I’m proud the House just took a major step for transparency and justice. The vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files sends a message: survivors matter. I’ll keep pushing until full accountability and truth prevail.

Starting out Veterans Day in Worcester serving pancakes for veterans and their families!

Last night was another example of why we need new leadership. If @chuckschumer.com were an effective leader, he would have united his caucus to vote ‘No’ and hold the line on healthcare. Maybe now @edmarkey.bsky.social will finally join me in pledging not to vote for Schumer?
