The truth remains: America cannot be great without being good. It's time to reset national aspirations in order to save democracy.
My talk on American patriotism is featured today on @TEDTalks. Take a look: https://t.co/09KhLSQ58P
It was an honor to work with him, and I will always treasure the privilege of officiating his marriage to Jim in 2012. It was an historic moment, to be sure, but above all, it was about two people deeply in love. My heart is with Jim and the whole Frank family today.
Barney Frank was a force. He was brilliant, fearless, the sharpest person in any room. He fought for working people, for LGBTQ rights and for a fairer financial system with a wit and tenacity that was entirely his own. He loved Massachusetts, this country and all of its people.
That's still our calling. Not cynicism. Not nostalgia. Imagination, conscience and the courage to build something worthy of what this country has always promised. Thank you for showing up. Now let's go do the work. #NoKings
On Saturday, I stood with friends, neighbors and fellow citizens on the hallowed ground of Concord — where ordinary people once bled not just to say no to a tyrant, but to say yes to something better.
Reverend Jesse Jackson was a relentless advocate for justice who demanded that America’s opportunities belong to every American. From the streets of Chicago to the national stage, he expanded the coalition for civil rights and economic fairness across faith, race, party and more.
He lifted the political voices of millions, and his impact has shaped movements and leaders for generations. America has lost a champion of her best values, and I have lost a friend and counselor. Diane and I send our condolences out to Mrs. Jackson and the entire Jackson family.
Patrick has brought seriousness of purpose and lasting impact to everything we have ever worked on together. His humility, fresh thinking and persistence is needed to deliver real results for the people of #MA08 and all of Massachusetts. I'm happy to endorse him for Congress.
Today I’m proud to announce that Governor Deval Patrick has endorsed our campaign.
Working for him in the State House and on his campaigns, I learned first hand what real leadership looks like. His mentorship inspired me to service, and I’m honored to have his support. Let's go!
Everton was a student of mine at Harvard. He understands that politics is about expanding opportunity and dignity for everyone, not just the powerful or those who already agree with him. The people of #GA13 would be fortunate to have him fighting for them in Congress.
I am deeply honored to have Governor @DevalPatrick’s endorsement.
Governor Patrick spent his career expanding opportunity, at the Justice Department, in the private sector, and as a groundbreaking governor who invested in education and communities. 1/2
The residents of Newton, the students, faculty and staff of Harvard, and so many more were touched by his kindness and care. Diane and I are shocked by this loss and our hearts go out to his wife Tassy, his children Abigail and John, and all those who loved him.
Setti Warren was a colleague in government, a true public servant, and a friend. He believed in the power of community, of service, and he was always ready to engage in the hard work of making things better.
A huge thank you to Maryland's @GovWesMoore and former Massachusetts Governor @DevalPatrick, Senior Advisor at The Vistria Group, for kicking off Day 2 of The Well! They shared powerful insights on community, leadership, and tackling societal challenges.

The work continues all the way up until the polls close. Make your voice heard — and bring a few friends with you when you do.
Let’s #GOTV for @kamalaharris.
What a beautiful day in Pittsfield. Electing @KamalaHarris as the next President of the United States is how we reclaim our place as champions of American aspirations — showing up for everyone, everywhere, with hard work, hope, humility and purpose.
Let’s make history.
