Sixth District Congressman Seth Moulton has called on both Democrats and Republicans in Congress to independently investigate reports of the Trump administration’s ties to Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin.
“I’m calling on my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to put our country before politics and support a comprehensive investigation into the ties between the Trump White House and Putin’s Russia,” said Moulton in a prepared statement.
An urgent investigation into whether the Trump administration has compromised the US and UK through its links with Russia has been demanded by a member of the Oversight Committee in the House of Representatives.
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) on Tuesday said that if members of the Trump administration or campaign have been "conspiring" with Russia, "that's the very definition of treason."
National Security Advisor Michael Flynn resigned on Monday after reports surfaced that he had spoken with a top Russian diplomat about the U.S. sanctions against Russia.
LYNN – The city has been reimbursed $1.3 million in federal money for repairs to the Seaport Landing Marina.

One is among the longest-serving current members of the US House of Representatives, an icon of the civil rights movement, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.
The other is a Patriots fan.
Moulton was greeted with a standing ovation by those who squeezed in; some who didn’t make it inside said they were going home to watch via live stream. The congressman began the meeting by discussing how Republicans continue to move to repeal the ACA without a replacement. “The reality is, they have no plan,” Moulton said of the Republicans.

Sports bets are nothing new for electeds around these parts. Some, like the cursed Mayor Marty Walsh, know enough to button up, lest they place a hex. Others, like Sen. Elizabeth Warren, wager hackneyed hometown comestibles, like a case of Sam Adams.

There is method to Donald Trump’s madness. He and his political advisers know exactly what they are doing.
They may not know how to lead an effective, ethical government, or how to make Americans safer or more prosperous. But they do know how to use lies to manipulate what Americans think, to pit us against one another, and to pervert our democracy to attain power.
