In April, I questioned Secretary Hegseth about the Ecuadorian boat strikes & US involvement in them. The Secretary accused me of making false accusations. Today’s Washington Post article proves otherwise. I am demanding an immediate investigation into this program & his remarks misleading Congress.

Yesterday afternoon, I visited the Plymouth County Correctional Facility again. And I can tell you that this administration’s inhumane polities are doing nothing to strengthen our borders or communities. In fact, ICE’s illegal actions make all of us less safe, as we saw this week in Biddeford.

Over 160 years after emancipation on Juneteenth, Donald Trump and the GOP are doing everything in their power to rip away the freedoms that generations of courageous Americans have fought and died to preserve. I refuse to stand down, and together, we will continue to fight for a more perfect union.

Yesterday, the House passed via discharge petition the Ukraine Support Act. In the absence of House GOP action, House Democrats and a few brave Republicans reaffirmed their support for Ukraine. This bill includes billions in vital assistance to Ukraine and comprehensive anti-Russia sanctions.

I am proud to lead the Ukraine Support Act with Reps. Meeks and Hoyer. The Discharge petition on this legislation now has 218 signatures and sends a strong message to President Trump and Speaker Johnson that the majority of the House supports the US fulfilling our promises to Ukraine.

Today I took my five minutes at Armed Services to call out Pete Hegseth to his face instead of giving him an opportunity to spew out even more of his convoluted BS.

The 25th Amendment warrants attention and discussion, even if we know we can’t necessarily depend on a cabinet full of people chosen for their allegiance to Trump to initiate the process.

Congressman Bill Keating @keating.house.gov · 07/04/2026

The Speaker must reconvene Congress so we can hold hearings and cast votes to reign in this out of control President and his actions, his words, and his illegal war of choice. My full statement:

The President’s statements about Iran are horrible, destabilizing, destructive, and clearly demonstrate that he is not only unqualified but also unfit for office. Threatening to destroy an entire civilization is obviously a war crime, and it should be condemned by all Americans, including my Republican colleagues in Congress.

But that’s not enough - the power enshrined in Congress by our Constitution is not the power to issue statements on social media, our power is to legislate and act as a check on the executive branch. We should be in Washington right now, and the only person stopping us from ending this extended recess and holding Donald Trump accountable is Speaker Mike Johnson.

The Speaker must reconvene Congress so we can hold hearings and cast votes to reign in this out of control President and his actions, his words, and his illegal war of choice.

Yesterday I spoke in support of passing the ALERT Act - and in support of bringing the ROTOR Act back to the floor for a vote - so that we can stop reacting to tragic accidents and near-misses and instead prevent them from happening in the first place.

The Trump administration cut State Dept funding to assist on investigating Putin’s war crimes, and just like Marco Rubio, the Undersecretary in charge of those cuts is refusing - under oath - to even say whether or not Putin is a war criminal.

Congressman Bill Keating @keating.house.gov · 17/03/2026

I am disturbed, horrified, and unsurprised with this administration's continued, cruel attacks on science and global health. This is yet another example of the Trump administration playing politics with the health and well being of those who need help. It must stop.

A pleasure to see Taoiseach Micheál Martin on St. Patrick's Day to reaffirm the US-Ireland relationship. The stories of Ireland and America are so often interlinked, and today is a reminder that we will always celebrate our enduring and long-lasting friendship.

I will be voting to cease hostilities with Iran. Full statement:

“Over the past six days I have sat in classified briefings regarding the President's unauthorized military action in Iran as a member of both the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees. I have spoken extensively with our diplomatic counterparts across the Atlantic. I have seen the economic impacts of this war on the American people in under a week. I have spoken with constituents trying to bring stranded family members home. And I have sat in quiet reflection over the lives lost and the families left behind. After gathering as much information as available regarding Donald Trump’s unauthorized and ill-prepared war of choice against Iran, I cannot support this war. Sending troops to war is the most consequential decision any elected official can make, and I reject the President's view that the lives already lost and additional casualties are simply 'the way it is.' I don’t think that’s the way it needs to be. I will be voting to cease hostilities with Iran.”

The agents who were on the scene of Alex Pretti’s murder should be on leave, not out working in a different state. Here’s my letter to Sec. Noem, demanding that she follow DHS policy by removing these agents from the streets and guaranteeing their cooperation. Full letter: loom.ly/DCOhnoM

LETTER: Take Alex Pretti's Killers off the Streets

Pull quote from letter: “It is essential that any individual whose conduct is under formal review not be in a position to influence any ongoing investigation. Moreover, these individuals should not be exercising law enforcement authority until that investigation is concluded. When a life has been lost during federal law enforcement operations, the agency must be held to the highest possible standard of transparency and accountability.”

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.

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.

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.

3183

Congressman Bill Keating @keating.house.gov · 18/12/2025

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.

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.

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.
