Rep. Jim McGovern

🚨Glyphosate update: Trump’s USDA Secretary repeatedly refused to answer whether she supports a liability shield for huge chemical corporations when their toxic products cause cancer and other diseases. Disgusting.

Trump & Secretary Rollins kicked at least 700 thousand CHILDREN off nutrition assistance—and that’s only counting 7 states. Today, she refused to tell me whether she stands by her comment that kicking people off food assistance is “good news.” These people are so cruel.

🚨NEWS: I just asked Trump’s Secretary of Agriculture EIGHT TIMES whether she supports a liability shield for corporations that produce cancer-causing chemicals like glyphosate. She refused to answer. It’s a total betrayal of MAHA.

I want big solutions to the important problems facing America. Republicans want a culture war food fight to distract you from the billionaires who are stealing your money and writing their campaign checks.

Shoutout to @keating.house.gov for hosting the 8th stop of my #EndHungerNow tour in New Bedford! Folks at the Pace Community Food Center & the culinary center at New Bedford Public Schools are doing great work to make sure everyone has access to healthy & nutritious food. Thanks for all you do!

Republicans like to say we don’t need to fully fund programs that help pregnant moms stay fed because enrollment dropped last year. NEWSFLASH!!! Enrollment dropped because they shut down the government & starved the program for TWO MONTHS! They should really do their homework.

Our joke of an acting AG—who “happens” to be Trump’s former personal attorney—just gave his boss a lifelong get out of jail free card (which also applies to Trump’s family and businesses.) Doesn’t get any more corrupt than that.

Why is it that when Republicans lecture America about fraud, they never seem to talk about the massive fraud foisted on America by Donald Trump & his billionaire backers? I’m all for making sure our tax money goes where it belongs. Let’s start at the White House.

Trump says he “doesn’t want to hear about affordability.” He admits he “doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation.” Do you really think this guy gives a shit about you?

Thanks to my friend Richard Gere, who’s championing my bill that would elevate the Central Tibetan Administration & give them the power to negotiate with China. The Tibetan people have the right to choose who governs them. It’s time we exercise our power to uphold that right.

The U.S. must stand for those who defend human rights. Ruth Lopez has been imprisoned for political reasons. The government of El Salvador should release her immediately. The Trump Administration should stand with human rights defenders, not the dictator who jails them. FREE RUTH LOPEZ!!!

Trump is destroying America’s long legacy of defending religious freedom at home and abroad. Click the link in the comments to read my oped about why it matters—and what Congress can do to reverse course before it’s too late.

While many are trying to pull us apart, organizations like the Retired Friends of Greendale are building community. It was an honor to present them with a flag flown over the Capitol to celebrate America’s 250th—a reminder that our common love of country is stronger than what divides us.

The @IRSnews can look into your finances…but they’re prohibited from investigating Trump, his family, or his businesses EVER AGAIN! Rules for thee, not for me.

🚨NEWS: Republicans just pulled a vote on an Iran War Powers Resolution because they knew they were going to lose. They don’t have the guts to end a war that’s costing BILLIONS of dollars and putting lives at risk while driving up the cost of gas & groceries.

Trump is giving domestic terrorists who tried to overthrow our government BILLIONS of dollars from YOUR POCKET. All he cares about is enriching the billionaire Epstein class & anyone willing to commit crimes on his behalf. It doesn’t get more corrupt than that.

🚨BREAKING: Republicans just voted AGAINST my amendment to stop Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund from bailing out the convicted felons who assaulted cops on January 6th. You read that right. They blocked us from even debating the issue on the House floor. Beyond shameful.

While Americans struggle to afford gas, groceries, healthcare, and housing, Donald Trump is worried about the drapes in his taxpayer-funded ballroom. His priorities are way out of whack.

Republicans are trying to roll back the decades of progress we’ve made towards fair representation in Congress and equal rights at the ballot box. Not on our watch. We’re fighting to take back our country.

We have to reclaim our power. We must listen to the wisdom of the courageous civil rights leaders who came before us and showed us the way forward. When enough of us stand together and fight back, we cannot be silenced.

Today I traveled to Selma with my colleagues in Congress to take a stand against the radical right-wing plot to suppress Black political representation and dismantle our democracy by gutting the Voting Rights Act. We’ve made too much progress in this country to go backwards. We won’t be silenced.

Inflation & gas prices just hit a 3-year high. Housing & healthcare have never been more expensive. …and Trump wants you to think we’re in an economic golden age?! Who are you going to believe—a career con man or your empty wallet?

Trump pardoned hundreds of sex predators & violent criminals who beat cops on January 6th. Now, they’re back on our streets—raping, assaulting, and murdering Americans. I don’t want to hear a damn thing from my Republican colleagues about “law and order.”

The Billionaire Epstein Class is making more than ever before while the rest of us are just struggling to get by. In Donald Trump’s own words, he doesn’t care: “Not even a little bit.”

Food is medicine, and medically tailored meals save lives. HUGE thank you to Community Servings for providing nutritious, scratch-cooked meals to people with chronic disease. My bill—the Medically Tailored Home-Delivered Meals Program Pilot Act—will expand access to those life saving meals.

Trump’s rigged economy is great for billionaires & giant corporations—but the people who actually keep this country running are getting screwed.

Trump says he doesn’t care about your financial situation. For once, he’s telling the truth.

Trump promised that he wouldn’t use taxpayer dollars to fund his tacky Temu Versailles ballroom. Surprise, surprise…he lied.

CEOs are pocketing record profits while throwing their workers the scraps. If we’re serious about FAIR markets, we HAVE to unrig our economy to prioritize working people over corrupt billionaires.

My promise at Northampton Pride to the LGBTQ+ community was simple: I will never stop fighting for your dignity, your rights, and your freedom.

Good News: we scored a BIG WIN by stripping the pesticide company liability shield from the Republican Farm Bill. Bad News: the farm bill STILL makes America LESS HEALTHY by locking in massive cuts to nutrition assistance which make hunger worse. The fight is still on.

Republicans have failed to deliver. Prices are through the roof. The U.S. is alone and isolated on the world stage. And working people are struggling while billionaires get another tax break. It’s time for some serious change.

The Republican agenda sucks. Luckily, they appear to be tanking their own legislation because they’re in such disarray.

I still can’t get an answer from Republican leadership: why does their farm bill shield pesticide companies like Bayer-Monsanto from liability for selling toxic pesticides that cause cancer? If the products are so safe, what are they so afraid of?

The GOP Farm Bill is poison for families & farmers—ripping food assistance away from hungry families & letting corporations dump cancer-causing chemicals into our air, water, and food. The only people that want this sit in the Monsanto boardroom.

The Chair of the House Agriculture Committee can’t even tell me how many veterans in his district lost nutrition assistance thanks to Trump’s Big Ugly Bill… …and now he has the audacity to try to lock in those cuts for 5 YEARS?!

The Republican Farm Bill protects companies like Monsanto that dump toxic, cancer-causing pesticides into our food, air, and water. It creates a brand-new liability shield to protect them from the court cases they keep losing. Why? Follow the money.

Trump continues to burn through billions and billions (and billions) of dollars on his reckless, illegal war with Iran, and THIS is what he’s feeding our troops? This is a DISGRACE!

From liability shields for companies that make cancer-causing pesticides, to delaying PFAS standards in drinking water and cutting nutrition assistance—both Trump and RFK Jr. are betraying the MAHA movement. We need to be blunt. They lied to get elected.

Thanks to Trump, gas prices have skyrocketed. His war has already cost you an extra $200 at the pump in less than two months. That’s not to mention food, travel, and everything else going up because of his illegal, reckless, stupid war. This madness needs to stop.

Grocery prices are through the roof because of Trump's terrible tariffs & costly war of choice. But instead of working to lower costs, Republicans are pushing through a horrible Farm Bill that locks in their $187 BILLION cut to nutrition assistance for 5 YEARS. It's outrageous.

This Republican Majority should pass legislation to help rural communities and farmers. Instead they’re choosing to waste time on a participation trophy resolution that literally could have been an email. You can’t make this stuff up.

In the dead of the night, Republicans tried to pass a shady FISA bill that lets the government continue to violate your rights without a warrant. Thankfully we defeated Speaker Johnson and the White House’s amateur attempt to jam it through without real debate. This overreach won't fly.

It’s a cult.

Trump Jr. advises Polymarket. The CFTC dropped their Polymarket probe last year without bringing charges. I asked the CFTC Chairman, Michael Selig, did the White House ask for that? He was “insulted” by my simple question. Guess what he didn’t do? Answer.

As a Catholic American, I’m horrified by Trump’s immoral and unjust war of choice. I’m with Pope Leo.

As part of my #EndHungerNow Tour, @whipkclark.bsky.social & I visited Hosmer Elementary in Watertown, which is at the forefront of making sure kids get nutritious meals. School meal programs need more resources, which is why I’m pushing to pass my bill, the Healthy Meals Help Kids Learn Act!

Trump is doubling down on his reckless war of choice with Iran, pushing gas prices even higher with his weapons-grade stupidity. This insanity needs to end NOW.

I just conducted oversight of an ICE facility in Burlington. Many of the people being held there are NOT the worst of the worst—they’re hardworking folks like Orlando, who simply want to support their family and give back to the community. Here’s a small part of his story.
