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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
SUBCOMMITTEE ON EUROPE
Ranking Member Bill Keating (D-MA)

"The Trump Administration's 28-point plan for Ukraine is a total capitulation to Putin. Ukraine's future is up to Ukraine, and Europe as well as the international community must be at the table.

 Limiting Ukraine's military, deciding future NATO membership, and ceding territory to Russia among other things neuters this to nothing more than Putin's wish list. 

It must be rejected."
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:
The Trump Administration is illegally blowing up boats and undertaking extrajudicial killings in the western hemisphere, all while building up more than 15,000 troops, a carrier strike group, and military aircraft for a potential mission in the Caribbean they claim is about counter-narcotics.
 
I am beyond alarmed, and it’s well beyond time for answers. That’s why I am joining House Foreign Affairs Ranking Member Gregory Meeks in calling on the House GOP to hold oversight hearings to get to the bottom of exactly what is going on in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. I am also co-sponsoring a War Powers Resolution that will halt the Trump Administration’s unauthorized military actions.
 
The American people deserve evidence and facts, not bluster.
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
As we await further action in the Senate, I’m fearful that House Republicans are preparing to return to Washington after 53 days away just to cast a vote to continue to willfully neglect their responsibilities.
Republicans in Congress couldn’t kill the ACA with over 70 legislative attempts over 15 years, so now the plan is to defund it out of existence by forcing massive premium increases on everyday Americans.
