Trump did this. Minneapolis was fine until he sent his masked secret police to terrorize the community & murder innocent Americans for exercising their fundamental rights. Their blood is on his hands.

🚨🚨 NEWS: I'm urgently asking governments and global #HumanRights leaders to forcefully condemn Alex Pretti's murder and demand a transparent, impartial investigation so that those responsible can be brought to justice.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

Resistance matters. Keep making good trouble.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

Not at some point. Now. There wasn’t chaos in Minnesota until your thugs shot a mom in the head & killed a VA nurse in cold blood.

At Some Point We Will Leave, Trump Says Of ICE In MN During WSJ Interview

When asked if the immigration officer who shot Alex Pretti did the right thing, the president didnt answer directly, the Journal reported.

Proud to earn an A+ from @endcitizensunited.bsky.social. It's shameful that politicians can be bought off by billionaire donors & big corporations. Sadly, many of my colleagues would rather cash a fat campaign check than fight for you. It’s time to put power back where it belongs: with the people.

End Citizens United Scorecard — End Citizens United

Fixing our democracy by getting big money out of politics and protecting the right to vote.

Thank you to everyone who came out ahead of the winter storm for my second town hall this year in Auburn! People here are angry about skyrocketing costs, ICE terrorizing our neighbors, and Republicans’ refusal to stand up for our democracy. Thanks to the Pakachoag Center for hosting!

Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

Alex Pretti was an American hero, and Stephen Miller is a domestic terrorist.

ICE is violently assaulting peaceful protestors & entering homes without warrants. They shot an innocent mom in the head & used a 5-year-old as bait. I voted against funding, but that’s not enough. Abolish and dismantle ICE. If you support this shit, you are sick in the head.

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

Outdated, obsolete, Cold War thinking—unsurprisingly coming from the oldest person ever to assume the presidency. We’ve had an embargo against Cuba for over 60 YEARS! History has proven that it does not hurt the elites or the government—it punishes regular people and families.

Trump administration weighs naval blockade to halt Cuban oil imports

“Energy is the chokehold to kill” the Cuban regime, said a person familiar with the discussions.

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

To protect the American People, we must abolish Trump’s paramilitary secret police force. That’s why I voted HELL NO to another cent for ICE.

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

Last time I introduced my bipartisan War Powers Resolution, most Republicans said they wouldn’t support it because Trump hadn’t attacked Venezuela. Well, now he has, so today I forced them to vote again. Unsurprisingly, most of them chose to be weak and spineless.

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

Today, House Republicans held a vote open for nearly a half hour—flying a Member in from Texas—to tie a vote which would have simply stopped Trump from engaging in further unauthorized & illegal hostilities in Venezuela without Congressional approval. My full statement ⬇️

Hey Secretary Rollins: Running “a thousand computer simulations” to figure out how close you can get to starving people is seriously sick. Have your chauffeur drive you to the supermarket so you can educate yourself on how expensive groceries are.

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

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

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

I for one am shocked—SHOCKED!—that the man who bankrupted a casino doesn’t know how to run the economy.
