NEWSFLASH to my Republican colleagues: national security is about more than how many bombs we can drop on people.
It’s also about making sure folks have access to quality healthcare, ensuring they can afford food, rent, and gas, and creating good jobs that allow them to provide for their family.

This is beyond idiotic. Our rights are not an Olive Garden lunch special.
Your shitty, watered-down bill is a bandaid on a bullet hole. It does NOT ban stock trading. It bans Members from *BUYING* stocks but not *SELLING* them. Nice loophole. 🙄
And it does NOTHING to prevent crooks at the White House from cashing in on insider info. We need a REAL ban on stock trading.
Are you better off today than you were a year and a half ago? I doubt it.
It’s been over a month. Where’s Mitch?
WE WILL STOP FASCISM. 🇺🇸
Republicans say we “already have laws against insider trading.” So why the hell do so many Members of Congress make MILLIONS off the stock market while in office?
We should ban stock trading throughout the government—including at the White House–NOW!
He always goes out of his way to dishonor and disrespect fallen heroes. Because he is a sick, depraved, empty human being with no moral center. I pray that the families of the service members who were killed do not see the President of the United States putting words in their loved ones' mouths.
America’s 6-decade embargo of Cuba has been a disaster—not for the Cuban government, but for the Cuban people:
❌Power grid collapsed 8x
❌Daily water shortages for 3 MILLION Cubans
❌Infant mortality rate doubled
❌Childhood cancer survival rates down.
It’s Gaza in slow motion.
Republicans pretend to care about the national debt, but when it comes to defense contractors or tax breaks for billionaires, they race to write a blank check.
Their hypocrisy is truly astounding.
Guess who attended a $1,200 per plate dinner with the pesticide industry?
If you said top Trump & RFJ Jr. advisor Calley Means—who publicly says pesticides are bad—you're right! Is that all it takes to buy a Trump official these days?
It's time for MAHA & MAGA to BREAK UP!
How many of Trump’s radicalized ICE incels are violent monsters? It’s a threat to public safety and a danger to our communities.
It was an honor to finally meet Pastor Ezra Jin. I joined colleagues in calling for his release from detention in China. Authorities must release the rest of the Zion Church members whose religious freedom rights are denied by the Chinese government.
Last week, I spoke with 160 incredible young anti-hunger advocates as part of the 4th Gen Z Food & Hunger Summit.
This work is more important than ever. 1/3 of Gen Z Americans have faced food insecurity. Together, we can #EndHungerNow.
Republicans have a new favorite talking point: calling anyone who disagrees with them a “communist” instead of addressing the affordability crisis—or the fascist MAGA takeover eating their own party alive. I’ll keep calling them out.
If Republicans actually went out and talked to people, they’d know the only ones they’re helping are the billionaires who bought another private jet thanks to Trump’s tax breaks.
Reposted byRep. Jim McGovern
Rep. McGovern on Trump's new budget requests:
A budget proposal that includes $73 billion for Trump's never ending Iran war, a $12 billion band-aid for farmers who are hurting, a big admission that tariffs have devastated farmers, and $10 billion to indulge the Trump's election conspiracy theories.
Trump promised gas would go down. He promised no more endless war.
Gas is now much more expensive because we’re 5 months in, with no end in sight, to a brand new war he started with Iran.
You and your family are paying the price for his lies.
Apparently the emergency is that billionaires needed another tax break. You can’t make this stuff up.
Trump wants to give ICE incels a blank check to kill Americans in broad daylight with zero repercussions. This kind of impunity is TOTALLY IMMORAL and INCOMPATIBLE with global human rights standards.
