Bessent on American farmers being hurt by tariffs: "Martha, in case you don't know it, I'm actually a soybean farmer, so I have felt this pain too."

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialOct 27(source)

Reminder that instead of releasing the Epstein Files, Donald Trump released George Santos. Criminals protecting criminals.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialOct 27(source)

Make no mistake: Republicans would come back to DC in a nanosecond if ending the shutdown meant more tax breaks for billionaires, handouts to big banks, or giveaways to the insurance industry. But some of us want to help regular, working people. I guess that’s a bridge too far.

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

Trump’s tariffs are putting Argentina FIRST & American farmers LAST.

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

Donald Trump is about to be the first president ever to stop federal food benefits from going out on time to people in need. My full statement on this disgraceful & shocking news:

Press Releases | Congressman Jim McGovern

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

Inflation is up 3% over the past year. Because of Trump’s tariffs, working people are struggling to pay for food, housing, & healthcare. But don’t worry, his “main priority” is building his Temu Versailles ballroom. He never was and never will be America First.

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

Let’s hear your “plans,” Lazy Mike! We’re all ears.

COLLINS: If the government reopened tonight, would Republicans have a plan to address the Obamacare subsidies? MIKE JOHNSON: Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. We do. We have proposals. Yeah. We can have that ready immediately.

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

Our healthcare system isn’t broken, it’s rigged.

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

Yikes.

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

Let’s review what Republicans have “accomplished” — Medicaid: ripping 150 million Americans off their health insurance. Healthcare access: closing hundreds of rural hospitals. Insurance premiums: exploding. About to double or worse. You’re a failure.

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

Well this aged like a glass of milk.

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

Because of the shutdown, the U.S. Capitol Police aren’t getting paid. This morning, I joined with our House Democratic leaders to serve them breakfast, thank them for their service, and talk about how I’m working to reopen the government and fighting to keep costs down for folks across the country.

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

What a corrupt snowflake. He committed crimes, got caught, and now wants $230 million for his emotional damages—paid for by you, the taxpayers—because his feelings got hurt. He’s turning the presidency into his own little piggy bank. It’s outrageous and disgraceful.

Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases

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

Americans across the political spectrum know it's well past time to make the rich pay their fair share. We CAN fix income inequality in America, but Republicans choose to pad the pockets of their billionaire donors instead.

Americans’ pessimism about the economy cuts across political lines

Inflation and a worsening job market are top of mind for many Americans, even among the president’s Maga base

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

Millions of people peacefully protested this weekend. Meanwhile, the guy who was just arrested for threatening to kill Democratic Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social was pardoned by Donald Trump after being part of a vicious mob that beat police officers on January 6th.

Pardoned Jan. 6 rioter arrested for threatening to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries: Police

Christopher Moynihan is the first pardoned Capitol rioter to be arrested over alleged political violence.

Wow. Hey Lazy Mike Johnson—even MTG says Republicans started this shutdown, and it’s on you to end it. You know you’re losing when you’re losing her.

Marjorie Taylor Greene ‘putting blame’ on GOP congressional leaders for shutdown

Greene has continued to be a thorn in the side of Republican leadership in recent weeks, splitting from Trump and the GOP on a string of high-profile topics.

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

Trump’s nominee brags about his “Nazi streak.” Young Republicans wrote “I love Hitler” in their group chat. A GOP congressional staffer hung a swastika in his cubicle. And then Republican leaders have the audacity to say *Democrats* are the ones who hate America?

Trump nominee says MLK Jr. holiday belongs in ‘hell’ and that he has ‘Nazi streak,’ according to texts

Paul Ingrassia’s bid to lead a whistleblower agency is set for a Senate confirmation hearing Thursday.

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

Trump gives billionaires huge tax breaks & bails out foreign governments while people can’t even afford to get to work. Tells you a lot about who he’s fighting for.

‘Finances are getting tighter’: US car repossessions surge as more Americans default on auto loans

Wall Street sounds alarm over strain throughout car lending market as experts warn of potential risks for wider economy

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

Hey Don the Con—you know who’s “fighting for their life?” Single parents struggling to feed their kids. Seniors whose healthcare costs are skyrocketing. Families who can’t afford to buy a home. And yet you spend $40B of OUR MONEY to bail out Argentina? Sick.

Q: What do you have to say to farmers who feel that the deal is benefitting Argentina more than it is them? TRUMP: Look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don't know anything about it. You understand what that means? They are dying

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

America: Release the Epstein Files!!! No one: Literally no one: Trump: Best I can do is release George Santos.
