As if it hasn’t already under your failed leadership…

Do you have to show a birth certificate or a passport for your pasta? Didn’t think so.

Scalise: "For God's sake -- you can't get pasta at Olive Garden without a picture ID! Why not be able to show a picture ID to vote?"

Thank you @hcrichardson.bsky.social for writing about the deeply disturbing parallels between MAGA and fascist movements. We are living through a dark chapter in America’s story. But we will fight back & reverse course before it’s too late.

“The Republican Party’s new favorite talking point is calling Democrats communists,” Representative Jim McGovern (D-MA) said yesterday on the floor of the U.S.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 23(source)

Democrats are not communists. Republicans are fascists.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 23(source)

Congress AGAIN votes to end Trump’s illegal & reckless war with Iran. Massachusetts does not want this war. America does not want this war. It’s costing us billions & has taken the lives of 18 brave service members. END THIS WAR NOW!

House rebukes Trump's war in Iran

The 214-208 vote to direct Trump to end hostilities is largely symbolic.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 23(source)

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.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 23(source)

This is beyond idiotic. Our rights are not an Olive Garden lunch special.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 22(source)

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.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 22(source)

Are you better off today than you were a year and a half ago? I doubt it.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 22(source)

It’s been over a month. Where’s Mitch?

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 22(source)

WE WILL STOP FASCISM. 🇺🇸

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 22(source)

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!

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 22(source)

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.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 22(source)

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.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 22(source)

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.

GOP lawmaker hammered by Dem during fiery hearing on Trump debt: 'Take responsibility!'

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!

Pesticide lobbying group hosts MAHA champion at tony ag soiree

The senior White House adviser has blamed pesticides for Americans' rising rates of chronic illness.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 21(source)

How many of Trump’s radicalized ICE incels are violent monsters? It’s a threat to public safety and a danger to our communities.

ICE agent David Brouillette reportedly told ex-wife “you should have your throat cut” as she details history of abuse

David Brouillette reportedly told his ex-wife, Ashley, that he was the ICE agent who fatally shot Joan Sebastian Guerrero.

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.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 21(source)

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.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 21(source)

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.
