Too many folks work hard, play by the rules, and then get screwed over by an economy that’s rigged in favor of billionaires. From groceries and gas to healthcare and housing, life in this country is far too expensive. Democrats are FIGHTING for an AFFORDABLE AMERICA 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 25(source)

As if prices weren’t already high enough, these tariffs will push them even higher. But they don’t care, because the billionaires are doing just fine.

Trump Administration Imposed New Tariffs of Around 10% on Over 80 Nations

The administration launched new duties tied to countries’ imports of goods made with forced labor, replacing a 10 percent tariff immediately after it expired.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 24(source)

Awful. People are sick and tired of war. It’s been five months and there’s no end in sight. Yet Republicans continue to let Trump drag us further and further into another costly quagmire. ENOUGH!

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 24(source)

Neocon warmonger Pete Hegseth refused to answer a basic question about Trump’s reckless & illegal war of choice with Iran. I’ll do it for him.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 24(source)

This is an outrageous insult to the brave Americans who gave their lives for our country. This administration is dishonoring their sacrifice to cover up the true toll of their disastrous war. It is truly a new low.

The number of service member deaths in Iran has mysteriously lowered from 18 to 14 on the Pentagon website. When asked for an explanation, Pentagon officials said the 4 most recent military deaths did not count since the Iran conflict "officially ended" in April.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 24(source)

Gas prices are once again above $4/ gallon, courtesy of the warmongering neocon liar-in-chief’s brand new endless war in the Middle East. This guy does not care about you. At all.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 24(source)

He literally doesn’t give a shit that his war, his tariffs, and his inflation have decimated your bank account and taken money out of your wallet.

Trump: They were screaming at me, 'What are you going to do about high prices?' I said give me a break.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 24(source)

For decades, Big Ag has weaponized the patent process to wage lawfare on small- and medium-sized farms in an attempt to put them out of business. My Fair Seeds for Farmers Act would put farmers ahead of greedy corporations & lower grocery costs for families! Congress must pass it NOW!

McGovern unveils bill to rein in seed monopolies - Greenfield Recorder

Rep. Jim McGovern introduced the Fair Seeds for Farmers Act to limit seed patents and protect farmers' rights to share seeds.

This isn’t complicated. You don’t have a constitutional right to a bowl of pasta.

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

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

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

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?"

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

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?
