Congressional Democrats are reintroducing legislation that would repay the families of Black American veterans who served in World War II and were unable to take advantage of the original GI Bill. The GI Bill Restoration Act would provide descendants of these veterans a transferable benefit that could be used to obtain housing, attend college or start a business, according to the announcement Thursday from the bill’s sponsors. To mark Veterans Day, the bill was unveiled Thursday by House Majority Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina and Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts in the House and is expected to be introduced...

Marie Harf is stepping down from her post as a political commentator for Fox News Channel and co-host of Fox News Radio’s Benson and Harf—a show co-hosted with Guy Benson—to join Team [Seth] Moulton as deputy campaign manager for policy and communications, The Daily Beast confirmed. Harf’s hire adds more foreign-policy credentials to the 40-year-old veteran’s early presidential campaign. Prior to becoming a talking head, she worked as a senior communications adviser to former Secretary of State John Kerry and at the CIA as a Middle East analyst. She also ran former President Barack Obama’s national-security strategy during the 2012...

Are you now or have you ever been an agent for the Russians? No? Okay, let me ask it another way:  Were you ever a Russian agent? No? In that case, let me ask the same question again with slightly different wording... And so it seemed to go on the July 22 State of the Union on CNN as host Jake Tapper appeared to act as a latter day Inspector Javert hot on the trail of his Jean Valjean in the form of businessman and former Trump adviser Carter Page who was clearly amused by Tapper's dogged persistence over what...

Gun shop owner talks AR-15 NY Daily News BY Seth Moulton SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Tuesday, June 14, 2016, 8:26 PM I’m a Marine. I carried guns every day in Iraq, guns very similar to the ones used to perpetrate the Orlando murders and many other mass shootings in America. I’ve used guns in combat. On more than one occasion, guns have saved my life.

Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton possibly committed a crime when he brought an illegal immigrant to President Trump's State of the Union address on February 24, and then hid the illegal immigrant — Marcelo Gomes daSilva — in his office when daSilva's presence was made known. ICE arrested daSilva last May.But the plot now thickens. The Milford Police shared information that daSilva was reportedly mentioned in police reports involving "sexual assault and juveniles."WOW. Marcelo Gomes da Silva, the illegal alien guest that Rep. Seth Moulton (D) brought to the State of the Union address, was reportedly mentioned in police reports involving...

Congressman Seth Moulton’s illegal immigrant guest during the State of the Union address is referenced in police reports involving sexual assault and juveniles, police say. The Herald submitted a public records request to the Secretary of State’s Office and the Milford Police Department regarding two reports, one from June and the other from September of 2021, where Marcelo Gomes da Silva was apparently named as the person of interest. The Herald sought the police report numbered 21-23101 dated 9/15/2021 featuring Marcelo Gomes da Silva and 21-16254 dated 6/30/21 also featuring the 19-year-old. Milford Deputy Chief John Sanchioni denied both of...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) responded to the Trump administration stating that attacks on Teslas or Tesla dealerships could be domestic terrorism by stating that President Donald Trump believes that “somehow, having a protest in front of a Tesla dealership is” domestic terrorism and Trump believes “freedom and liberties belong to people who agree with him, and that’s it. … That’s not a view that people who believe in our Constitution share.” Host Audie Cornish asked, “[P]ublic backlash against Elon Musk, the Trump administration is now saying that, like, if you are attacking Teslas...

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) doubled down on his recent comments about transgender athletes, saying the response to them proves his point. “I was just speaking authentically as a dad about one of many issues where I think we’re just out of touch with the majority of voters, and I stand by my position,” Moulton said Sunday during an MSNBC appearance. “The backlash I’ve received proves my point that we can’t even have these discussions as a party.” “And we’ve got to be able to have these debates,” he added. “But, instead, we have a wing of our party that shames...

On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “The Hill,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) stated that Israel shouldn’t start another war by moving “against Hezbollah in Lebanon to dramatically escalate the conflict to the north.” Moulton said, “[W]e absolutely do not want to do anything that might escalate this into a regional war. That’s not in our national security interests to get bogged down in a war in the Middle East, potentially sending American troops. And it’s not, frankly, in Israel’s national security interests either. So, behind the scenes, we’re doing what we can to tamp this down and say enough is enough,...

If it comes down to Seth Moulton vs. Dementia Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and tubby Jim McGovern, I guess you know which side I’m on. I bow to no one in my longstanding disdain for the preening wannabe John Kerry (j.g.). When Moulton was running for Congress the first time, I had him on my radio show to discuss his, ahem, business, and an alleged office he claimed to have in, I believe, London. Moulton’s answers were unsatisfactory, to say the least. I haven’t spoken to him since, nor do I have any desire to, and he probably feels the...

Reps. Seth Moulton (D-MA) and Peter Meijer (R-MI) made a secret visit to Kabul, Afghanistan, on Tuesday where they learned that evacuations cannot be completed by President Joe Biden’s August 31 deadline, according to commanders in charge of the situation. In a joint statement, Moulton and Meijer said their surprise mission was to “conduct oversight on the mission to evacuate Americans and our allies,” arguing that Members of Congress “have a duty to provide oversight on the executive branch.” The two representatives were also clear that they ensured their visit would not take away seats from those in need: As...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN Newsroom,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) stated that after going to war against the Taliban, “we’re relying on that same Taliban to keep Americans safe,” and “to not start massacring people today.” And he doesn’t see how America will be able to get its allies out of Afghanistan. Moulton stated, “We went into Afghanistan 20 years ago. Because the Taliban harbored the terrorists that attacked us on 9/11. And now we’re relying on that same Taliban to keep Americans safe, to keep American citizens — they estimate between 10 and 15,000 American citizens are still in...

If Fox News were really interested in payback, it would have offered Elizabeth Warren’s spurned television town hall meeting spot to fellow Massachusetts presidential candidate Seth Moulton. The congressman from Salem, far behind in the overcrowded field of 24 candidates running for the Democrat nomination for president, would have snapped it up in a New York second. Such an appearance might have helped Moulton make the cut and qualify for participation in the first two- night Democrat Party sponsored television debate in Miami June 26-27

A three-term Massachusetts congressman is poised to join the crowded Democratic presidential field - after he was spotted making a campaign advertisement in his hometown. Seth Moulton would be the 19th Democrat to throw his hat in the ring if he beats Joe Biden to the punch - and if the former vice-president announces first, he would be the twentieth. Moulton, 40, was spotted in his hometown of Marblehead, Massachusetts taping his presidential announcement, according to Axios. A source close with the Democratic congressman says he is expected to release the announcement within a week. 'Seth has said he's seriously...

It is good to know that the Democrats are against hate. The next thing you know they’ll be against war, crime and broccoli. Faced with condemning freshman U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a Muslim Somali American, for her anti-Semitic remarks last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi caved under pressure from a group of freshmen members and went bland. Instead of punishing Omar, Pelosi rewarded her. She also emboldened her by removing her name from the stand alone, specific resolution condemning her for her hateful anti-Semitic remarks in a resolution so watered down to be rendered meaningless

Someone should have warned Seth Moulton that age and guile beats youth and innocence every time. The adage comes from the title of satirist P.J. O’Rourke’s’ book “Age & Guile Beat Youth, Innocence & a Bad Haircut.” Had Moulton been clued in, the 40-year-old congressman from Salem could have avoided the humiliation showered upon him by grandmother Nancy Pelosi, 78, the other day.

What’s a guy got to do to get ahead around here? That is what the ambitious and hard-working U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton must be asking himself today — especially after U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy’s nationally televised speech Tuesday night. The way Moulton sees it, he does all the work and Kennedy, his rival, gets all the attention. Some feel that on a level-playing field it is Moulton who should have been chosen to give the official Democrat Party response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address — not Kennedy. Moulton, an Iraqi War veteran, has recruited some 19...

Forget the Better Deal. What the Democrats need is a better candidate. Besides, the new slogan of the ailing Democrat Party -- A Better Deal -- is about as old and tired as FDR's New Deal or Harry Truman's Fair Deal. Even A New Spiel would have been better. However, it is what you get when you hire political consultants to do your thinking for you

Friday on CNN’s “New Day,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, doubled down on remarks he had made earlier in the week in Austin, TX at the South by Southwest music festival regarding the possibility of a U.S. nuclear war with Russia. Moulton argued Russia had violated the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty and criticized President Donald Trump for not acting more forcefully against Russia for the violation. That he said raised the possibility of nuclear war with Russia should Russia use nuclear weapons against U.S. allies in Europe.
