How about ending the war they started that’s sending gas prices up? That seems like a good place to look…

Susie Wiles sounds the alarm on gas prices

White House aides and Cabinet officials are coming under intense pressure to reverse the spike in energy prices caused by the start of the war in the Middle East.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 20(source)

My Republican colleagues love to talk about the national debt, but have NOTHING to say about the fact that we’re sending $1 BILLION a day to the Middle East on Trump’s reckless war of choice with Iran. Their hypocrisy is astounding.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 20(source)

Reminder: Trump’s Big Ugly Bill added more to the national debt than any other single piece of legislation in history—all so Bezos can buy another mega yacht.

US national debt surges past $39 trillion just weeks into war in Iran

The U.S. national debt has hit a record $39 trillion. The deficit hit the milestone Wednesday just weeks into the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 19(source)

Trump spent more in 19 days in Iran–including on bombing elementary schools & killing civilians–than America spends in 6 months on international diplomacy at the State Departmnt. War should be a last resort—not a first impulse.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 19(source)

Maybe we should invest in affordable housing here at home instead of spending one billion dollars a day on war with Iran?

Mortgage Rates Climb to Three-Month High, With 30-Year at 6.22%

Mortgage rates rose for a third week, reaching a three-month high as wartime inflation fears drove up yields for the government bonds that guide home loans.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 19(source)

In just 19 days, Trump has already wasted $25 BILLION on his reckless war of choice with Iran. That’s enough to fund the State Department for half a year. He chooses bombs over diplomacy. Disgusting & just plain stupid.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 19(source)

Who are you going to believe? Trump, or your empty wallet?

Trump cut nutrition assistance for Americans by nearly $200B…and now he has the audacity to demand that same amount so he can use it on a war nobody asked for? This is unhinged.

Pentagon seeks $200 billion in additional funds for the Iran war, AP source says

A senior administration official says the Pentagon is seeking $200 billion in additional funds for the Iran war.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 19(source)

Republicans refuse to fund TSA, FEMA, CISA, and the Coast Guard because they’re hell bent on letting Trump’s secret police force run rampant. We must fund the critical security agencies that keep us safe—and abolish those that execute Americans in the streets.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 19(source)

What’s a better investment: $24 BILLION on a reckless war of choice in the Middle East, or fixing the roads, bridges, and infrastructure in our national parks & other public lands here at home? Trump made his choice. What’s yours?

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 18(source)

Honored to join @mazonusa.bsky.social at this year’s annual Hunger Seder on Capitol Hill. This year, it’s more important than ever that we stand up against the injustice & oppression of hunger. Food is a human right. No person in this country should go without.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 18(source)

By blocking power to Cuba’s hospitals, the United States is guilty of committing a serious human rights abuse. Under Donald Trump’s leadership, America is becoming an international pariah. Diplomacy and engagement should be our strategy. NOT a blockade.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 18(source)

Lisa led a bipartisan @preventcancer.org #CongressionalFamilies coalition on Capitol Hill yesterday, raising awareness about early cancer detection & screening during national Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Proud of my amazing wife for working to build bridges & combat cancer!

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 18(source)

Trump’s top economic advisor just said rising prices are the administration’s “last concern.” This is what happens when you have a government of, by, and for the out-of-touch Epstein class billionaire elites. This guy should be fired!

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 18(source)

Senate Republicans have blocked funding for TSA, FEMA, CISA, and the Coast Guard FIVE TIMES.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 18(source)

In 18 days, Trump has burned $24 BILLION on his Iran War. That’s enough to eliminate the maintenance backlog in our national parks & public lands—paving roads, fixing bridges, & improving water systems. He’s burning billions overseas while neglecting America’s infrastructure.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 18(source)

Trump is spending 2x more on war in the Middle East than FEMA has set aside for a disaster here at home. His priorities are all screwed up.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 18(source)

Congrats TJ! Wishing a fellow Worcester Academy alum the best of success in March Madness!

TJ Power drops 44 to lead Penn over Yale in Ivy final

TJ Power scored an Ivy Madness-record 44 points to lift Pennsylvania to an 88-84 victory over Yale to win the Ivy Legue championship on Sunday.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialMar 18(source)

A key ingredient for making America healthy is better access to cooking classes so folks can learn how to make more nutritious meals. That's one reason why the Phoenix Food Bank in Lynn is doing INCREDIBLE WORK to improve health in our communities & #EndHungerNow.

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

So do we need them, or not? Because just minutes before, Trump was asking our allies to step in… He continues destroying key strategic alliances while he plunges our country into chaos. What a disgrace.

Q: What progress have you made in getting America's allies to assist the US in escorting those oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz? TRUMP: Well, we don't need too much help. We don't need any help, actually. In fact we just put out a notice.
