Few people do more to fight hunger than my friend Monte Belmonte. His annual 48-mile March for the Food Bank is an incredible contribution to our community & a highlight of my year. Honored to present him the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts’ Community Led Impact Award. He is an inspiration!

I'm proud to announce that I secured $879K in federal funding for Stop It Now!, a Northampton nonprofit fighting to prevent child sexual abuse. Too often, our institutions & people in power fail to protect our children. This lifesaving work matters more than ever.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJun 17(source)

Our policies sure would make it a hell of a lot better—instead of his administration’s out-of-touch, billionaires-first tariffs and war that’s driven inflation and gas prices through the roof.

Trump: Democrats are the ones who caused affordability

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJun 17(source)

This conflict never should have happened. Trump lied when he promised no new wars. And after three months of death and destruction, the rest of us are now left paying the price. His war proved only one thing: that diplomacy was the answer all along.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJun 17(source)

In the end, it looks like Trump negotiated the reopening of a strait that was already open before the war, and reached an agreement no better than the JCPOA—the deal President Obama secured through sustained multilateral negotiations (which Trump tore up because it wasn’t all about him.)

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJun 17(source)

Any move toward diplomacy and away from violence is welcome news. I want peace to prevail. But this war should be a lesson. The push for military adventurism and regime change by neocon war hawks was, unsurprisingly, an unmitigated disaster.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJun 17(source)

We lost 14 brave service members. Thousands of innocent Iranian civilians were injured or killed. Millions more were displaced across the region.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJun 17(source)

Over 100 days ago, Trump and Netanyahu launched a reckless, illegal war of choice against Iran. America spent a billion dollars a day—exacerbating the affordability crisis at home, putting our troops at risk, and making us less safe.

America in a nutshell.

"A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday—and may every day be another wonderful secret.” —Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein

JD VANCE: One of the things you see in the Epstein emails is that Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump NAVARRO: They were best friends for about a decade. And remember, he signed that transparency act under duress

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJun 16(source)

I seem to recall dozens of Republicans promising us this wouldn’t cost taxpayers a cent. Now, they’ll endlessly justify Trump stealing from you to fund another gaudy self-obsessed vanity project.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJun 16(source)

Does Lying Leavitt care to revise her answer? Good luck lying yourself out of this one.

Honestly, it might not even be in the top 10.

Vance calls his ‘childless cat ladies’ comment ‘one of the dumbest things I ever said’

Vice President JD Vance, who previously stood by the insult of Kamala Harris and other Democrats, writes in his new book that the remarks were “a clear moment where I failed.”

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJun 16(source)

Huge thanks to Community Servings' David Waters & Tufts University’s Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian for always bringing attention to the importance of nutrition in public health & supporting my bipartisan Medically Tailored Meals legislation. Now is the time to make it happen!

America’s public health programs must cover medically tailored meals

When you prescribe the nourishing meals that people require, they get healthier — and the system spends less.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJun 16(source)

Dreamers have built their lives in America. For many, it’s the only home they’ve ever known. They’ve gone to school, built careers, raised families, paid taxes & strengthened our communities. They deserve citizenship—not deliberate processing delays & unwarranted deportations.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJun 15(source)

When we invest in early childhood education, we build stronger communities & a brighter future. That's why I'm proud to have delivered $5M in federal funding with @warren.senate.gov & @markey.senate.gov for a new learning center at the #MetroWestYMCA — helping every kid get a fair shot at success!

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJun 12(source)

What’s the return policy? We don’t want it.

Rubio on Trump's White House UFC fight on his birthday: "It's a gift to the American people."

El futuro de Colombia debe ser decidido únicamente por el pueblo colombiano, no por políticos estadounidenses que intentan influir en las elecciones de otro país. Veinte miembros del Congreso exigen a EEUU que respete la soberanía colombiana. Lea nuestra declaración aquí:

The future of Colombia should be decided by the Colombian people alone—not by American politicians trying to tip the scales or interfere in another country’s elections. 20 Members of Congress are calling on the U.S. to respect Colombian sovereignty. Read our statement here:

In 2018, Elon Musk paid $0 in federal income taxes. Most Americans pay 14%+ of their income. He pays the same into Social Security as someone making $184.5K — a sum he made just 15 minutes after midnight on New Year’s Eve. Trillionaires shouldn’t exist in a moral society.
