Whalen for Congress @jeromiewhalen.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Today is the day. Tune in this afternoon and this evening to watch the MA-01 Congressional Democratic Primary Debate on 22-News. We look forward to watching as Jeromie makes his case, takes Neal to task, and proves exactly why people across our district will be voting for change on Tuesday.

Political violence from any party or any ideology is a direct assault on the foundations of democracy and the rule of law; it seeks not to persuade but to intimidate, not to debate but to destroy.

Congress is back from recess, which means your lawmakers are back at work voting on bills that affect you 🫵 The SAVE Act is one of those bills: which proposes to require proof of citizenship (such as a birth certificate or passport) to register to vote.

Washington, D.C. is not just the government. There are over 700,000 people just like you who call it home. All people have the right to live in safe, peaceful neighborhoods. But Donald Trump doesn’t care about other people, and he doesn't care about keeping other people safe.
Trump's unprecedented takeover of D.C. police comes as crime is down, figures show
The move has already caused confusion among federal agents tasked with tackling local crime. "No one knows who is in charge or what they're supposed to do," one official said.

They’re cranking up the propaganda machine again: claiming Brad Lander “unlawfully interfered” and that ICE is just “enforcing Trump’s policy.” Reality: Lander stood up for civil rights. ICE’s conduct reflects a deeply troubling use of federal power.
