Honored to be at Friendly House’s Legislative Breakfast in Worcester. It’s become fashionable and popular in Washington to beat up on those who are struggling to get ahead, but organizations like Friendly House show us a different way forward. Thank you for all you do.

What a pathetic, small man.

Trump wanted Dulles Airport, Penn Station named after him — in exchange for releasing federal funds

Trump has named several landmarks and initiatives after himself since he returned to office.

Donald Trump’s vile, disgusting post about Barack and Michelle Obama is beyond offensive. This man is and always has been a deranged and hateful racist. He needs to apologize to the Obamas, who–by the way–are much better people than he can ever hope to be.

Huge thanks to Lorraine's Soup Kitchen for hosting the third stop of my #EndHungerNow Tour last week! They’re doing incredible work to keep their community fed as Trump’s cruel cuts to food assistance are making hunger in America worse.

🚨BREAKING: Ostracized by Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene, in a new interview, says that MAGA was “all a lie.” “MAGA, I think people are realizing, was all a lie. What MAGA is really serving is their big donors.” Finally a bit of truth from MTG! A little late. Share widely so that MAGA sees this.

Heartbreaking. Renee Good's family is right. What happened to her was violent, unnecessary, and it must lead to change. The majority of people in this country do not support armed federal agents acting like they are above the law. Enough is enough.

Black history is American history. I’m proud to celebrate this month and honor the work of the amazing Black trailblazers, trendsetters, artists, entertainers, entrepreneurs, luminaries, and political leaders who have shaped our destiny and made this country what it is today.

A U.S. District Court Judge has ruled it legally unjustifiable and wrong to let TPS for Haiti expire. This fight isn't over, but at least our neighbors can rest knowing they still have legal status and can't be taken from their homes, jobs, or communities.

Federal judge postpones Trump administration's termination of TPS for Haitians

Temporary Protected Status for more than 300,000 Haitians was set to end Tuesday. The Trump administration said it will take the matter to the Supreme Court.

No one cares. We just want affordable healthcare.

White House touts Trump’s ‘bold vision’ for towering Independence Arch for America 250

The White House is pushing back on reports that President Trump favors a 250-foot-tall “Independence Arch," calling the monument an iconic part of his vision for America’s 250th anniversary.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialFeb 3(source)

This is Trump's #1 tell. He spends zero time attacking the pedophiles—and instead attacks the Republican congressman who helped expose the pedophiles.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialFeb 3(source)

Why are Republicans more afraid of Donald Trump than their own constituents?

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialFeb 3(source)

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

The dam is starting to break.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialFeb 3(source)

This administration is collapsing under the weight of its ties to a global child rape ring—Trump’s name alone appears 5,361 times in the Epstein documents we’ve seen so far. Why won’t he cooperate?

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialFeb 3(source)

This administration is the least transparent and most corrupt in American history.

Tulsi Gabbard is a russian operative. "There is a whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard that is so sensitive that it is "said to be locked in a safe," and the administration has spent months trying to figure out how inform Congress."

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialFeb 2(source)

For the record: I will not send another cent to Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller while the department they run is shredding the Constitution and murdering American citizens in the streets. A two-week extension is two weeks too long. I’m voting no.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialFeb 2(source)

No kid should have to worry about whether their friend is safe because they were abducted by masked agents sent by the federal government. This is not the world we want our kids to grow up in. We need to do better.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialFeb 2(source)

By only releasing half of the files, Todd Blanche is still violating federal law. When Democrats are back in power, criminals who break the law will be held accountable.
