Republicans are in charge. They can’t blame Biden. They can’t blame Democrats. They are running the government. They are the ones putting our data on a private server run by some 20-year-old nut who brags about how racist he is. This is on you, Kristi.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The truth is coming out...

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialFeb 7(source)

I'm all for going after waste, fraud, and abuse. The Department of Defense spends $800+ billion a year. It's never passed a single audit. Ever. USAID was audited three months ago. Is Elon scared to lose all the defense contract money he pockets from the Pentagon?

My statement on Trump’s careless and despicable move to stop funding of UNRWA:

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialFeb 6(source)

ELON, the world's richest man, is getting at least $20+ BILLION worth of American taxpayer dollars. He claims he's trying to find waste, fraud, and abuse? Maybe he should start with himself.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialFeb 6(source)

And he can take the rest of the billionaire class with him while he’s at it!

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialFeb 6(source)

Fire Elon Musk.

My statement on Trump’s reckless and shameful move to withdraw America from the UN Human Rights Council:

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialFeb 5(source)

So far, Trump's "America First" Agenda has been: -Invade Greenland -Annex Canada -Seize Panama -Now he wants to take over & occupy Gaza w/ U.S. troops Looks like MAGA got fooled by a warmonger who doesn't give a shit about egg prices. Just tax breaks for billionaires.

Trump on sending US troops to Gaza: "If it's necessary, we'll do that. We're gonna take over that piece. And we're gonna develop it."

Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass.: "Foreign assistance is about 1% of our entire federal budget. And maybe before coming after USAID, Republicans should look at all the billions and billions of dollars in tax breaks and subsidies that they give to oligarchs like Elon Musk."
