Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), a four-tour veteran of the Iraq War, has dropped out of the presidential race. But, while campaigning, he pledged to expunge the records of men and women dishonorably discharged for serving in the military as homosexuals.
Some of these gay and lesbian military officers and enlisted persons were "discovered," or hunted down, during the time of the soul-grating "Don’t ask, don’t tell" law, hatched by the moral-triangulating of the Clinton administration. Scores of thousands of other discharges occurred before DADT came into force.
The giant dredge that will return the Annisquam River to safe navigability is expected to arrive in Gloucester next week, and the project, which has had more twists and turns than the ancient river itself, physically will begin in earnest.
On Friday, officials came from near and far, and from the varying strata of government, to the Coast Guard’s Station Gloucester on Harbor Loop to celebrate the onset of the $7.85 million project that will remove about 140,000 cubic yards of sand and bring new life to the Annisquam.

Today, federal, state and local elected officials representing Gloucester will come together to celebrate the Annisquam River dredging project, which is finally moving forward.
For nearly a decade, Iraqi citizens worked side by side with US military forces, diplomats, contractors. They were the translators, the cooks and drivers, the aides who helped guide and explain their culture. They were a critical part of the US effort — and now they have been virtually abandoned.
IPSWICH — Congressman Seth Moulton remembers not knowing anything about composting, going to school one day in Marblehead, where he grew up, learning about composting and coming home and telling his parents, “We’re going to compost.”
And they did.
The story was part of an hour-long give and take between the Sixth District Congressman and a mix of middle school and high school students at the Dolan Performing Arts Center, Monday, Nov. 4, at the high-middle school.
Former U.S. Representative Chris Gibson and U.S. Representative Seth Moulton sat on different sides of the aisle during their time together serving in Congress.
But something they consider more fundamental than party politics unites them: their military service in overseas combat deployments.
Gibson, a Republican, and Moulton, a Democrat, shared their stories with an audience of students, faculty and staff at Northeastern Monday night as part of a conversation about how military experience shaped their careers in Congress.
The TL;DR Act would direct the Office of Management and Budget to require federal agencies to place important action items at the beginning of their letters to Americans that would outline the following information:
Two years ago, Seth Moulton had what was arguably the single most unambiguously clout-boosting moment of his political career, at least as such things are tallied these days, when he and/or his social media team unleashed a banger of a tweet.

“As the Representative of Salem, MA, I can confirm that this is false,” he wrote.
Despite broad praise for the operation that ended with the death of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, President Trump’s overall Syria policy drew continued criticism by local Democrats Sunday.
“We killed one important ISIS figurehead, but it’s a very decentralized organization with plenty more fighters on the ground in Syria, in Iraq and in the pipeline,” U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton said. “Make no mistake, it’s a good thing he’s killed, but our fight is in a far worse position against ISIS.”
