Dad. Marine. Massachusetts Congressman. Build an economy that works like Legos, not Monopoly.
The last time a child in the U.S. died of measles was in 2003.
RFK JR on Measles Outbreaks: It is not unusual. There are measles outbreaks every year.
I mourn for the nine Fall River residents who died in last night's fire, and I am keeping the over 30 hospitalized residents in my thoughts, wishing them all a full recovery. Thank you to the firefighters and first responders who prevented an even greater tragedy. I have spoken…
Our hearts are with the City of Fall River and the families grieving after last night's terrible fire in an assisted living facility. Thank you to Fall River FD, PD, EMS, EMA, and others who undertook heroic efforts to rescue and treat occupants: ow.ly/GFew50Wp2kz
Hallucinated drug reviews. Politicized priority vouchers. Purges of top scientists. Rejection notices leaked with unprofessional talk tracks. The Food & Drug Administration is bleeding out its integrity. The Commissioner needs to change course and focus on the FDA's safety &…
The president seems to be recognizing, a decade late, that Vladimir Putin is an enemy. Now he must demonstrate strength, not vacillation.
The directors of the Shriver and Grafton Job Corps Centers recently met with me in Washington to discuss the cruel and counterproductive actions by the Department of Labor (DOL) against Job Corps. Frustrated by court orders blocking its funding freeze, the DOL is now refusing to…
When I questioned him on this, RFK Jr. had the chance to condemn his aide's corruption. He refused.
Truemed, a start-up run by an aide of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., helps people avoid taxes by claiming luxury wellness items and more as medical necessities. nyti.ms/44ZeKFT
"Massachusetts also needs to negotiate a new waiver with federal Medicaid officials by the end of 2027... Congressman Jake Auchincloss suggested, in an interview with the editorial board, that the state could seek to negotiate more state flexibility and autonomy in running its…
We agree with @BostonGlobe: now is a time for the entire healthcare sector to step up, collaborate, and rally around solutions that can protect Massachusetts patients and providers. Read more here ⤵️ bostonglobe.com/2025/07/17/opi…
The Commissioner of the Food & Drug Administration has no authority to offer special approval pathways based on his policy preferences. Congress mandates that clinical data proving safety & efficacy should be evaluated by scientists who grant approval. The Commissioner's National…
If the majority whip had gone with my bipartisan Power of the Mint Act, introduced last term with French Hill, instead of his partisan anti-CBDC bill, then it would not be a poison pill to combine CLARITY with CBDC legislation. I've reintroduced Power of the Mint today— it makes…
The Hitchhiker’s Guide To What’s Stalling the House on the Crypto Bills for the Second Day in a Row Here’s what’s behind the holdup in the House as Republicans try – again – to pass a trio of crypto currency bills. The House deemed this “crypto week” – with the aim for…
Gloves off with the social media corporations. They attention-fracked Gen Z. Now with AI, Gen Alpha will be treated even worse unless Congress acts.
The Power of the Mint Act would help.
Here's where we're at: Conservatives want CBDC language added to House market structure crypto reforms. The authors of the bill on the House Financial Services Committee are pissed, because the CBDC language will cost the package Democratic votes. Loggerheads.
Here's how I'm thinking about CLARITY & GENIUS.
Congress has not passed immigration reform since 1996. Today, I reintroduced bipartisan legislation as an original cosponsor — drafted by @RepEscobar and @RepMariaSalazar— that secures the border, fixes the visa backlog, and vests undocumented immigrants with legal rights &…
Putin surprised only one person, who unfortunately happens to be the President of the United States.
To reduce the impact of the Medicaid cuts, the congressional delegation and the governor will need to work together on our 1115 waiver renewal. Massachusetts needs more autonomy over our healthcare than ever.
Like a deer in the headlights. Instead of weak & confused, the president must be strong on Ukraine. Strength starts with defining victory: a secure eastern border, freedom of navigation in the Black Sea, and accession to the European Union.
Putting RFK Jr. in charge of vaccines is like making a flat-earther the head of NASA.
Housing & healthcare have cost disease. Treating it must be core to the Democrats' agenda for financial freedom. My essay in The Economist:
“To lower costs, America needs to build a lot, fast, the same way,” argues the Democratic congressman. “Housing should be the priority for mass production” econ.st/3Iado3o economist.com/by-invitation/…
After a few hours of performative opposition, the House GOP is caving to Trump’s Medicaid cuts & debt binge. It’s bad for Massachusetts and unfair to the middle class.
Here with Hakeem as he makes plain for the American public that when Republicans gut health care for millions, Democrats fight back.
