Republicans could stop your healthcare costs from doubling TODAY. There’s absolutely nothing stopping them. They rushed through their Big Ugly Bill to give billionaires a massive tax cut, but now that working people are about to suffer, they’re dragging their feet.
Proud to serve as Vice Chair of @equality.house.gov. I’ll always fight for everyone’s freedom to be who they are and for a country where every single person is treated with dignity and respect.
🌟VICE CHAIR SPOTLIGHT — @repmcgovern.bsky.social🌟 Rep. Jim McGovern is a passionate leader in the fight for LGBTQI+ rights. We were honored when he became a founding member of the Equality Caucus in 2008 and are honored to have him as one of our Vice Chairs! Allow us to introduce you:
Equality Caucus Vice Chair Spotlight. Congressman Jim McGovern, Representing Massachusetts’ 2nd District. IMAGE: Rep. McGovern in front of the U.S. Capitol dome.
Happy to be back for Worcester’s annual Festival of Lights celebration in the Worcester Common!   Great to kick off the holiday season with festive lights, delicious food, and performances from local musicians.
Great to meet with Amherst College President Michael Elliott. Everyone deserves equal access to a quality education—and I am so proud that we have such amazing colleges that make Massachusetts proud!
The GOP economic platform: Struggling to pay for food? Relax. Can’t make next month’s rent? Relax. Going without health insurance because it’s too expensive? Relax. Don't worry, Republicans have the solution to your economic problems: just relax!
🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 I’m partnering with Rep. Massie & @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social to introduce a War Powers Resolution that will force a vote in Congress to block Trump’s insane escalations against Venezuela. No one except Trump wants this war—so I’m going to use every tool I have to stop him.
Every year on December 3rd, I take a moment to remember & honor the #Worcester6 firefighters—heroes who we tragically lost in 1999. I am forever grateful to Worcester Fire Department and all first responders who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe.
We need to talk about the fact that we still DON’T KNOW who Trump murdered. The survivors of the first strike were killed in cold blood as they hung on for their lives—and the administration won’t reveal their identities. They could be victims of human trafficking for all we know.
How quickly we forget the BS excuses Republicans make up for military invasions. Does anyone remember weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?!?! It’s almost always about oil. Another GOP president wants to use U.S. soldiers as pawns for big oil in his sick pursuit for money & power.
Thanks @mikethompson.house.gov (D-CA) for signing H.Res.317 and for speaking out against the dangers of nuclear weapons. This is the type of leadership we need now more than ever. Our local Davis BftB hub--and all of us--are honored to work with you to make our communities safer.
Trump calls human beings “vermin,” “garbage,” “diseases,” “poison,” and “animals.” Then, when I rightfully point out that the same dehumanizing language has been used by fascist regimes to justify humanity’s worst atrocities—Republicans lose their minds. Give me a break.
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."
