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

NEW LEGISLATION
NO FUNDS FOR NATO INVASION ACT

Snippet from Politico news story, headline reads:
"Bipartisan group of lawmakers introduces bill to prevent military action against NATO members
The legislation would prevent the Trump administration from taking action to invade a NATO country or territory, such as Greenland."

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

US will exit 66 international organizations as it further retreats from global cooperation

The Trump administration will withdraw from dozens of international organizations, including the U.N.’s population agency and the U.N. treaty that establishes international climate negotiations.

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.

Donald Trump called January 6, 2021 “a day of love” - but it was anything but. 1,500 were charged. 629 pleaded guilty, and another 127 were found guilty of charges related to their actions at the Capitol. The efforts of MAGA to rewrite history and downplay what happened that day are truly disgusting - from the President’s pardons of those who breached our Capitol to the Speaker’s ongoing refusal to display a plaque in honor of the law enforcement officers who they violently attacked. I will forever be grateful to the US Capitol Police and all of the law enforcement agencies involved in protecting democracy on that fateful day, and I continue to be grateful for the work they do every single day. 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.

‘It’s been a challenging year.’ Trump’s tariffs have taken a toll on small businesses. - The Boston Globe

It's been a year of complications and cost-cutting for business owners struggling to deal with unpredictable levies on imported goods.

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.

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

Make no mistake, this is one of the most eye opening days in US political history.

President Trump has just announced that he is taking control of the sovereign country of Venezuela until he feels fit to return it. He will install his Secretary of Defense, his Secretary of State, his and his Joint Chiefs Chairman to run the day to day operations. Additionally he is ordering US oil companies to enter Venezuela and take control of their energy industry. He personally will control billions of dollars that he has no right to access.

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.

Congressman Bill Keating@keating.house.govJan 1(source)

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.

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.

Congressman Bill Keating@keating.house.govDec 18(source)

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.

Speaker Johnson must schedule a vote ASAP - the healthcare of the people we represent is far more important than leaving DC early for the holidays.

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

Congressman Bill Keating@keating.house.govDec 3(source)

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.
