Lisa's husband. Patrick and Molly's dad. Proud to serve the 2nd Congressional District of MA. Co-Chair of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission. Top Democrat on the House Rules Committee. Hunger is a political condition.
Trump has already spent nearly $7 billion on his war of choice, according to independent analysis—2x what America spends on housing homeless veterans every year.
It’s disgusting. I’m going to keep talking about how his broken promises are hurting folks here at home.
Gas prices are soaring because of Trump’s war.
Grocery prices are through the roof because of his tariffs.
The job market is worsening because of his awful economic policies.
A reckoning is coming soon.
Republicans say we don’t have enough to feed hungry kids, but never hesitate to write a blank check for defense contractors.
Their priorities are way out of whack. Shameful.
It hasn’t even been a week, and Trump’s regime change war in Iran has already cost taxpayers over $6.5 billion.
That’s more than twice as much as what we spent on housing homeless veterans in 2025.
Outrageous.
Thank you @nationalnow.bsky.social for honoring me with the Equal Rights Champion Award!
I’m ashamed that it’s been over 100 years since women secured the right to vote, and yet we’re still fighting for equality. We must affirm that the Equal Rights Amendment is the law of the land NOW!
Great. He replaced the lady who shot her dog with the guy who hid behind a chair on January 6th.
They don’t give a damn about human rights or human lives. It’s all a video game to them.
After years of promising no new wars, the mask is off: Trump & his allies in Congress are nothing more than a bunch of pathetic neocon warmongers.
I hope betraying the American people was worth it for the defense contractor money.
The Republicans' farm bill is a BETRAYAL of MAHA. It would:
🛢️Prevent communities from regulating pesticides.
🤮Allow more toxins dumped into our water.
☠️Give CORPORATE IMMUNITY to companies that make cancer-causing chemicals.
Trump & RFK lied to win. I’m taking them on.
Republicans love to act like they give a damn about homeland security. But the truth is, under Donald Trump’s reckless administration, America is more isolated, more alone, and less safe than ever before.
Last month, I visited Growing Places' Regional Food Center in Gardner, MA to see how they're helping local farmers bring their produce to market while also expanding access to nutritious food for those in need. Thank you for all you do to #EndHungerNow!
The Trump kids won’t have to go fight in an illegal war for their draft dodging dad with "bone spurs."
It’s working class kids who die in wars waged by rich men—not the children of the billionaire Epstein class.
Another day, another betrayal. This time, MAHA.
Tonight, Republicans on the House Agriculture Committee are advancing a partisan farm bill chock full of giveaways to the Big Ag billionaires and pesticide companies that dump toxins into our food, water, and air.
I'm speaking out.
This was entirely preventable.
These planes cost $100 Million. Each.
$300 million dollars could have provided 139 MILLION meals for hungry people in America.
Trump betrayed America first—he picked military adventurism abroad over feeding kids and seniors here at home.
By the way, even your Dear Leader calls it a war.
American troops killed. 20% of global oil & gas traffic halted. U.S. bases under attack. Trump admin says it could last for a month & won’t rule out troops on the ground.
Saying this "isn't a war” is the stupidest thing I’ve heard in a long time. And I'm in Congress.
Lindsay Graham says “Cuba is next.”
He’s nuts. For 6 decades we’ve pursued a failed Cuba policy that does nothing to promote our interests or values.
I sat down with @thenation.com to discuss why it’s time to rethink relations with Havana.
This is disgusting. These things don’t just “happen.” They happen because he started an unprovoked, illegal & reckless war.
No more American deaths, no more misguided military adventurism, no more endless war.
Trump promised to end wars, bring down prices, and expose pedophiles.
He’s starting wars, raising prices, and protecting pedophiles.
Trump spent a decade selling "America-First" isolationism.
No more endless war, no sending Americans to die in the Middle East, he said.
He lied. Why? Follow the money. He's just another neocon shill for Big Oil & Middle East autocrats. Many of us tried to warn you.
My heart breaks for the families as they learn this gut-wrenching news. I pray especially for the moms and dads of all our courageous service members. The grief of losing a child is something no parent should ever know.
I pray for all our brave servicemen and women—as well as all the innocent civilians—whose lives Donald Trump has recklessly put in harm’s way with his illegal, unconstitutional war.
Congress should immediately be called back to Washington to vote on these illegal strikes—that is what the constitution and the laws of this country demand. Instead, Speaker Johnson has called off votes for Monday and Tuesday.
Is Donald Trump confused about why he’s starting this war? Maybe he needs to have his memory checked. Less than a year ago he told us Iran’s nuclear program had been “obliterated.” Now he says we need more strikes. Was he lying then? Or is he lying now?
America does not want our kids dying so corrupt defense contractors can pad their pockets. We don’t want to waste trillions overseas while families are struggling here at home.
This is an illegal war that could easily escalate in dangerous and unpredictable ways into a wider regional conflict.
Have we learned absolutely nothing from our decades of endless war and reckless attempts at regime change in the Middle East?
