Young people deserve to know they’ll be able to afford groceries, buy a home, & raise a family when they grow up. Enjoyed meeting with students from Sullivan & Sutton Middle Schools. Their inquisitive questions & inspirational stories give me great hope for the future of our country!

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMay 29(source)

Good. Rip Trump’s disgraced name off the memorial meant to honor John F. Kennedy’s legacy. It never belonged there in the first place.

Thanks to my friend Richard Gere, who’s championing my bill that would elevate the Central Tibetan Administration & give them the power to negotiate with China. The Tibetan people have the right to choose who governs them. It’s time we exercise our power to uphold that right.

Honored to host high school students in my district at Doherty Memorial High School to share information about the Congressional Nomination process to U.S. Service Academies. Grateful that there are so many young people considering a career in our armed services—they’re an inspiration!

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMay 29(source)

Thanks @keating.house.gov for hosting the 8th stop of my #EndHungerNow Tour at PACE Food Bank & New Bedford Public Schools’ culinary kitchen! The work they’re doing is so important in our mission to ensure no one goes hungry in the richest country in history. Thank you!

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMay 29(source)

Medicaid helps people with disabilities live, work, and participate in their communities. It’s shameful that Republicans are cutting those programs. Great to join the 35th annual Providers of Central Massachusetts in Worcester—they’re fighting for folks’ right to live with dignity & respect.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMay 29(source)

The U.S. must stand for those who defend human rights. Ruth Lopez has been imprisoned for political reasons. The government of El Salvador should release her immediately. The Trump Administration should stand with human rights defenders, not the dictator who jails them. FREE RUTH LOPEZ!!!

The US once led on religious freedom. This administration is dismantling that legacy.

(RNS) — Congress must use every tool at our disposal to demand that this administration reverse course and protect international religious freedom.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMay 29(source)

Trump is destroying America’s long legacy of defending religious freedom at home and abroad. Click the link in the comments to read my oped about why it matters—and what Congress can do to reverse course before it’s too late.

While many are trying to pull us apart, organizations like the Retired Friends of Greendale are building community. It was an honor to present them with a flag flown over the Capitol to celebrate America’s 250th—a reminder that our common love of country is stronger than what divides us.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMay 28(source)

I said what I said 🤷

“You guys don’t have the guts or the balls to vote for this!” Rep. Jim McGovern, MA02, brings the Democratic caucus to their feet on the House floor!

I’ve been wanting to write about Rep. Jim McGovern for quite awhile now. He gives incredible floor speeches, and I appreciate that he brings his emotions, empathy and morality to his remarks.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMay 28(source)

Elections have consequences—and none are more severe than Trump’s Big Ugly Law, which threw at least 700,000 KIDS off nutrition assistance (that we know of). One hungry kid in this country is one too many. Hundreds of thousands is beyond shameful. I’m furious. You should be too.

Todd Blanche said there was never an Epstein coverup and “the 3 million pages that are being held back …having nothing to do with Epstein.”

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMay 28(source)

Everyone deserves access to fresh, local produce—and family farms in Massachusetts are leading the way to make that happen! Great to visit Dan & his brother John from Smiarowski Farms in Sunderland. They grow asparagus, delivered to schools, restaurants, & grocery stores across the Commonwealth!

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMay 27(source)

He’s not just protecting & pardoning pedophiles—now, he’s using your money to pay them too. Sick.

Andrew Taake, a registered sex offender who attacked police officers with bear spray during the January 6th insurrection, is applying for Trump's $1.8 billion weaponization slush fund.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMay 27(source)

The Trump administration is tearing up our public lands to enrich the fossil fuel lobby—making conservation efforts more important than ever before. That’s why I’m thrilled to announce that I secured funding to preserve over 260 acres of prime forest land in Deerfield!

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMay 27(source)

What Republicans are fine spending your money on: Trump’s ballroom. Trump’s White House arena. Trump’s arc. Trump’s Iran War. What Republicans say we don’t have enough for: Your healthcare. Your social security. Your education. Your roads & bridges. Disgusting.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMay 27(source)

This administration is a total clown show. How embarrassing for us.
