Trump’s rigged economy is great for billionaires & giant corporations—but the people who actually keep this country running are getting screwed.

The constant, pathetic boot licking is really weird.

TRUMP: Katie Britt -- I hope she always remains loyal to me so I can continue to support her BRITT: You've got it TRUMP: I would hate to go against her. That will never happen, Katie, right? BRITT: That's right, sir

Inflation & gas prices are at the highest level in years. The cost of groceries, housing & healthcare is at an all-time high. You can thank Trump’s stupid tariffs & his reckless war of choice with Iran.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.social17h ago(source)

Trump says he doesn’t care about your financial situation. For once, he’s telling the truth.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.social18h ago(source)

Where’s the apology from the member? Where’s the condemnation from the Speaker of the House for this racist and abhorrent remark? She ought to apologize and resign in disgrace. This is sick.

GOP Rep. Jen Kiggans says she agrees that Hakeem Jeffries has “cotton-picking hands” “Get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia.”

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.social20h ago(source)

This is what happens when you elect an out-of-touch narcissistic billionaire. He doesn’t give a shit about anybody but himself.

Trump: "I don't think about Americans' financial situation, I don't think about anyone."

RFK Jr: "In 1970, men had twice the sperm count as our teenagers do today"

Xi Jinping jails dissidents, crushes free speech and abuses human rights. Our own government says he’s committing genocide against Uyghurs. Yet Trump praises him—attacking American judges, journalists and educators with more venom than he ever uses to attack foreign dictators.

Trump on Xi Jinping: "He's a great gentleman. I find him to be an amazing man. And when I say that the press always says, 'Oh, that's terrible'…Well, you know, he runs 1.4 billion people with a pretty iron fist."

White House spokesperson Anna Kelly on high gas prices: "The president is not in a rush"

Wow. Glad this is how the Secretary of Transportation is spending his time (and your taxpayer dollars) while Trump’s Iran War is sending the cost of gas & airfare through the roof…

oh my god -- Sean Duffy on Fox & Friends this morning announced that he spent parts of *7 MONTHS* (more than half a year!) on a roadtrip with his family to celebrate America's 250th anniversary

Add this to the very, very long list of absurd Trump vanity projects we’re wasting taxpayer dollars on while people struggle to afford housing, healthcare, gas & groceries.

Reflecting Pool Repairs to Cost $13.1 Million. Trump Had Promised $1.8 Million.

While Republicans continue running scared from their constituents, I just hosted my sixth town hall this year. People in Barre told me they’re outraged this administration is working for the well-off & well-connected instead of working people. Thanks Barre Senior Center for hosting!

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.social4d ago(source)

MAGA legislatures in 5 states changed their congressional maps without a single vote. Democrats empowered VOTERS in California & Virginia to choose who represents them in Congress. Only a rigged system would throw out a VOTER APPROVED map while letting MAGA seize power. We’re fighting back.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.social4d ago(source)

…and consumer sentiment just hit a record low. Trump’s policies enrich the billionaire Epstein class at your expense.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.social4d ago(source)

The Virginia Supreme Court’s ruling is an insult to the majority of citizens who voted to fight back against Trump’s attempt to steal the midterm elections. The entire GOP strategy is voter suppression. We MUST use every tool at our disposal to reverse this awful decision.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.social5d ago(source)

The seniors I spent time with in Northampton this week are worried about the future their kids and grandkids will grow up in. They’re furious with the direction this country is going in under this administration. And they told me to keep fighting to get big money out of politics.

Trump promised that he wouldn’t use taxpayer dollars to fund his tacky Temu Versailles ballroom. Surprise, surprise…he lied.
