Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, we can all agree that billionaires and big corporations buying up politicians like they’re just another vacation home is simply not right. We need to end Citizens United. youtube.com/shorts/JzBfY...

This morning, I joined local leaders in Worcester to celebrate $1.2M in federal funding I secured to build accessible & affordable senior housing next to the Worcester Senior Center. This is a HUGE step towards ensuring our seniors can live with dignity & respect in safe, affordable housing.

Tell that to the farmers in my district who are struggling to pay near record-high fertilizer prices.

Working people’s budgets are being stretched thin because Trump’s Iran War is sending gas prices through the roof. But don’t worry—the stock market is doing great! So out of touch.

Bessent: "We are cognizant that this short-term blip up in prices is affecting the American people, but I am also confident on the other side of this that prices are going to come down very quickly. If we look at the stock market ... "

I’m so thankful that the Hart-Wood Free Medical Program is fighting for a world in which healthcare is a universal human right. Honored to be at the dedication of their new space at the First Unitarian Church in Worcester, which provides no-cost primary care to people in need.

The “people” he says he hates to pay back are you—the American taxpayers.

Trump: "We had an unfortunate ruling out of the Supreme Court. It was terrible. I hate to pay people back tariffs. $159 billion. The tariffs will actually be higher, it's turning out. They're gonna end up being higher."

If you’re upset about soaring gas prices, don’t worry—Trump’s Secretary of Transportation thinks you’re just being dramatic.

VARNEY: When can we expect some relief from the surge in jet fuel prices? DUFFY: A lot of Dems are making hay on this issue, complaining about fuel prices. Do you think they want prices to come down? Look at CA. We have to have a bit longer viewpoint. This is strong leadership by the president

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMay 5(source)

At least the Trump administration is finally starting to admit that their illegal war is the reason gas prices are skyrocketing.

Incredibly honored to receive the Jean Haggerty Award for Community Engagement & Social Justice from Amherst Media at the 50th anniversary of the Amherst Media Gala! While corporate media bows to those in power, local outlets are doing incredible work to spread truth & defend the first amendment.

There’s always a tweet.

CEOs are pocketing record profits while throwing their workers the scraps. If we’re serious about FAIR markets, we HAVE to unrig our economy to prioritize working people over corrupt billionaires.

This weekend I hosted my annual Congressional Art Competition in Leominster! Amazing to see so many talented artists across MA-02—we had 11 schools & 123 students participate in the competition. Wonderful to see young people embrace their creativity & express themselves through art.

Trump’s promised to Make America Healthy Again. It was all a lie.

With all that’s going on in Washington, I’m happy to say I have some good news. This weekend, I joined folks in Holliston to celebrate over $1M in federal funding I secured to upgrade water infrastructure in Holliston. An important step towards unlocking major economic growth for the region!

My promise at Northampton Pride to the LGBTQ+ community was simple: I will never stop fighting for your dignity, your rights, and your freedom.

I led the effort in Congress to keep the Leeds VA Medical Center open against those trying to privatize the VA who wanted it shuttered. Now, because of DOGE cuts, veterans are facing staffing shortages and longer wait times. The Trump administration is betraying America’s veterans.

DOGE broke something at the VA. Massachusetts veterans are paying the price. - The Boston Globe

Many veterans say an exodus of medical staff has resulted in longer waits for treatment and has forced them to go outside the VA for care.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMay 1(source)

This week in Congress was a total clown show. Under Speaker Johnson’s failed leadership, Republicans can’t govern without tripping over themselves and hurting the American People in the process. We can do so much better.
