Here’s a way to understand what a bill is or isn’t - regardless of whether it’s at the state or federal level:

WHATEVER THEY NAME THE BILL - THE OPPOSITE IS THE INTENT AND RESULT.

Just like the “Inflation Reduction Act” - increased inflation - the MA state legislature’s “Transparency Bill” - hides corruption and avoids transparency.

They don’t even pretend to give a shit what voters want.

[John E Deaton @JohnEDeaton1]

As I said to @jimbraude and Margery, on Boston Public Radio, there is ONLY one reason to fight conducting and audit of taxpayer money and transparency this hard and that reason is CORRUPTION. Plain and simple. They give big speeches atNo Kings Rallies but turn around and pull this autocratic bullshit.

One-party rule ALWAYS ends the same: ARROGANCE and CORRUPTION.

Vote all the bums out.

As I travel across Massachusetts, I want to meet the entrepreneurs, small business owners, and restauranteurs who keep our communities thriving.

Lately, that has brought me to places like Benny's Caribbean Restaurant in Worcester, where Benny and Nadia have built something special. Great food, great people, and a great example of the hard work and determination it takes to run a small business.

Massachusetts should be a place where entrepreneurs can succeed, grow, and create opportunity. Rising costs and red tape shouldn't make it harder every year for people to pursue the American Dream.

If you're in Worcester, stop by Benny's Caribbean Restaurant and support a local business that's helping make our communities stronger. Got a business you want me to stop by? Post the name in the comments.

82 years ago today, brave American heroes stormed the beaches of Normandy and changed the course of history forever.

Their courage, sacrifice, and unbreakable will saved freedom for generations. On this solemn anniversary, we honor every soldier who answered the call and recommit ourselves to defending the liberty they won for us.

Their legacy will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

[John Deaton @DeatonforSenate]

Work hard. Save money. Live in a cardboard box.

Sounds ridiculous. But with the median home in Massachusetts costing more than $650,000, what's the alternative?

We've gone way beyond making coffee at home and skipping nights out. No amount of cutting back is going to make up a six-figure down payment.

How is the next generation supposed to start a family, start a business, and buy a home?

We're pricing an entire generation out of the American Dream.

That's why I support a simple solution: build more homes. My plan is 5 million homes in 5 years to increase supply, lower costs, and give hardworking families a real path to homeownership again.

[John E Deaton @JohnEDeaton1]

You have a plan? You’ve had 53 years to have a plan and get something done. Hell, you didn’t even vote yes for the Green New Deal.

What kind of political coward doesn’t vote for his own bill and avoids debates?

Btw, Ed, @sethmoulton debating the opposing nominee, isn’t called platforming - it’s called Democracy - something you clearly don’t believe in or you’re just too scared to show up.

Btw, you sound A LOT like Donald Trump when you say “FAKE DEBATE.” I’m just saying. 😂

Speaking of debates, why not accept my 5 single-issue debate challenge?

I’ve challenged you to debate me on energy, including your so-called signature proposed legislation - the Green New Deal. I’ve challenged you to debate me regarding housing, healthcare, and foreign policy.

I’ve even challenged you to debate me for an hour solely on the issue of women’s reproductive rights. After all, you spent your first decade in office supporting a Constitutional Amendment to ban abortion, including in cases of rape and incest. That’s right, you wanted to use the constitution to strip away women’s rights. You only changed your mind when you decided to run for statewide office and looked at polling on the issue.

How about an entire debate just on civil rights? Or are you too afraid it will give too much air time for me to bring up how you fought like hell to keep black kids from being bussed to better white schools in the 1970s and 1980s.

That’s right, you claim to be Mr Reparations today - but when it counted the most - you stabbed blacks in the back. You even claimed you were supporting black people while doing it - just as long as they didn’t go to your white school district, right Ed?

Btw, I’ve always wondered: When @JoeBiden ran for President in 2020 and reminded the world that, while he was a member of Congress, he was the guy who had reached out - across the aisle - and worked with anyone, including working with Democrats who had been white segregationists. Was he including you Ed?

Instead of debating, after 53 years in elected office, all you can do is lie and run away from accountability - showing a true lack of integrity. You truly do fit in - in Washington.

Btw, I earned my money representing working people across the Commonwealth agaisnt Multibillion dollar corporations and insurance companies. You’ve spent decades accepting their donations and doing their bidding in Washington.

I did figure out, though, why you still talk about driving an Ice Cream truck during the summers while in school (over 60 years ago). It’s literally the only private sector job you’ve had in your 80 years of living. You ran for office while in school in 1972 - got elected in 72 - was sworn in office in January 1973 - and you’ve never left.

While you’ve lived off the taxpayer, I’ve fought billionaires and regulatory capture on behalf of small investors. You bailed out billionaires and Wall Street Bankers in 2008 after their greed caused the so-called great financial crisis. But I guess you felt obligated to bail out the banks after the House Bank bailed you out and covered your nearly 100 bounced checks in the early 1990s for over $47,000. You didn’t even have to pay $1 fees, related to insufficient funds.

Regular people’s credit would have been ruined, they would’ve had to pay thousands in fees, and they would’ve likely been prosecuted for fraud. But living in swamp has its perks, doesn’t it, Ed?

You can be a coward and run from the debates for now, but you’re going to have to face me yourself - one on one - come the fall.

Of course, you could prove you’re not a coward and accept the 5 single issue debate challenge. Or, is the reason you won’t debate because you and your team are too afraid you might have a “Biden moment” during the debates?

[John E Deaton @JohnEDeaton1]

I’ve challenged @EdMarkey to FIVE single-issue debates - wherein we discuss a single issue for one hour instead of trying to cram all issues into a single one-hour debate.

I’ve offered several debate topic options, including housing, energy, healthcare, foreign policy, women’s reproductive rights, or even Markey’s favorite topic: Donald Trump. I even said he could even pick the topics.

6 years ago he challenged opponents to debate climate change. I hereby accept that challenge. Let’s do a deep dive on the Green New Deal.

He’s the co-author of the GND and therefore, should have the advantage.

Hey Ed, do you have the courage to debate me on your so-called signature legislation?

LET’S DO SOME MATH:

The United States has existed for about 250 years (1776–2026). Markey has been in elected office for 53 years - that’s 21.2% of the entire history of our country.

The U.S. Constitution took effect in 1789 - meaning the federal government itself is only about 237 years old. By that measure, Markey’s been in elected office for 22.4% of the constitutional republic’s existence.

One man has spent more than a fifth of America’s entire history in elected office - with zero days of private sector experience in between.

Massachusetts ranks dead last in affordability, and Beacon Hill’s answer is to worry about how many miles you drive so they can tax you for it.

That doesn’t solve the affordability crisis. It punishes working people.

Enough is enough. Let’s end the insanity this November.

Today, on Memorial Day, I don’t campaign. Like you, I remember those who’ve given us everything.

This morning, @kristiana4102 and I watched the Boy and Girl Scouts place flowers on the graves of Veterans buried in our hometown of Bolton.

This afternoon, Kristi, Layla and I watched the Watertown Memorial Day parade and had lunch at the Pvt. Charles J. Shutt Detachment (Detachment #139) of the Marine Corps League.

Private Charles Shutt gave his life during the battle of Okinawa. 🫡

[John Deaton @DeatonforSenate]

Our veterans wrote a blank check to this country, up to and including their lives. The least America can do is keep its promise to them.

Instead, too many veterans are stuck waiting for care while politicians put themselves first. Men and women who served this country should never have to fight their own government for the benefits they earned.

Right here in Boston, Mayor Michelle Wu gave herself a raise while cutting benefits for veterans. That’s not leadership. That’s disgraceful.

As we head into Memorial Day, remember this: veterans kept their word to America. It’s time politicians start keeping theirs.
