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.
Trump removes nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial positions
The Trump administration is recalling nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial and other senior embassy posts as it moves to reshape the U.S. diplomatic posture abroad with personnel deemed fully supportive of President Donald Trump’s “America First” priorities.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.
Trump administration will tap contingency funds to make partial SNAP payments - The Boston Globe
But the US Department of Agriculture has refused to dip into other funds to make full food stamp payments for November.

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.

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.
