Former Commissioner and Chairman, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. RT & follow does not imply endorsement.

Joined September 2014
I overlapped with Barney Frank in law school and saw many flashes of his brilliance and wit. He was a sitting state legislator so he rarely had time to do the reading, but he was so smart that he could talk rings around anyone on any issue. (1/2)

Despite his part-time commitment to law school, he was chosen for Harvard Law Review but laughed it off, saying he was too busy to paint and repaint Tom Sawyer’s fence. Just an unforgettable individual and true public servant. R.I.P.

Well said. @FERC was very lucky to have @ChristieFERC at the helm.
Replying to @ChristieFERC
@ChristieFERC is a marine, a 17-year veteran of the Virginia SCC, and now is wrapping up a notable term at FERC. He is the ultimate public servant and a good man!

Thank you @SenatorShaheen. You are one of the best.
Today, after careful consideration, I'm announcing that I have made the difficult decision not to seek reelection to the Senate in 2026. There are urgent challenges ahead, both here at home and around the world. And while I'm not seeking re-election – believe me – I am not retiring.

RIP Jimmy Carter—an uncommon public servant and man. He was the father of @FERC and @ENERGY, and the first person for whom I ever voted for president.

In a personal note—two from Massachusetts! I believe I was actually the first @FERC commissioner from Massachusetts. There was one back in the early days of the Federal Power Commission.

As a @Patriots fan before and during the whole arc of the Belichick era, I am very sad today. 💔 It’s impossible to overstate his impact on our team and what he gave the New England sports fans. Thanks for the memories.
Thank you, Coach Belichick.
