Representative Jim McGovern
@repmcgovern.bsky.social
Lisa's husband. Patrick and Molly's dad. Proud to serve the 2nd Congressional District of MA. Co-Chair of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission. Top Democrat on the House Rules Committee. Hunger is a political condition.
Thanksgiving dinner has never been more expensive. Thanks to Trump’s terrible tariffs, disastrous economic policies & cuts to food assistance programs, hunger in America will get worse. I stand with leaders like @mindydomb.bsky.social & @jocomerford.bsky.social as we keep fighting to #EndHungerNow.

I’m horrified to learn of the horrific shooting in Washington, DC one day before Thanksgiving. My thoughts are with the victims' loved ones, and I'll be keeping them in my prayers.

My wife Lisa spent Friday at El Buen Samaritano with her treasured friend Mari Gonzalez and her team as they assembled & distributed boxes of food for neighbors and families. The need has never been greater - nor has the sense of community.

An average family of four now pays over $1,000 each month for groceries. But Trump’s “main priority” is building his ballroom.

He doesn’t care about whether you have to put something back on the shelf after checking the price tag.
U.S. grocery prices have hit a record high — the monthly cost for a family of four is now $1,030.

Trump promised to bring manufacturing jobs back to America. Instead, 58 thousand manufacturing workers have lost their jobs in America since his stupid tariffs took effect.

Then he lies to our faces, saying the economy has never been better. Outrageous.
November 23, 2025 at 4:31 PM
Trump can keep lying about the state of his disastrous economy, but Americans know the truth: it’s never been harder to afford basic needs.

Even Fox News agrees—Trump’s economy sucks.

30 days Pam Bondi. No excuses. No delays. No BS.

The law of the land demands total transparency.

Trump doesn’t shop at a supermarket. He’s never had to choose between paper or plastic. He learned what the word “affordability” meant just a few weeks ago.

Doesn’t get more out of touch than that.

This week, a bunch of our-of-touch billionaire CEOs dined with Trump and a Saudi prince who ordered the murder & dismemberment of a U.S. based journalist. There is something wrong with these people.

Grocery prices just hit a record high.

The unemployment rate is at its highest level in years.

58K manufacturing jobs gone because of Trump’s tariffs.

Crazy that the guy who bankrupted a casino doesn’t know how to fix the economy.
Highest unemployment rate since Oct 2021.
🔴 US UNEMPLOYMENT RATE ACTUAL 4.4% (FORECAST 4.3%, PREVIOUS 4.3%) $MACRO

Credibility matters. Our word on human rights means nothing to China & others if we fail to practice what we preach here at home. America must lead by example, and show we stand for freedom of thought, religion, and conscience not just half way around the world—but half way down the block, too.

I won't mince words—today, Donald Trump made a death threat against his political opponents.

Here's my full statement on the President calling for the execution of Democratic Members of Congress:

Today, on the International Day of the Child, I call on Netanyahu to release 16-year-old American Mohammed Ibrahim from detention. For 9 months, Mohammed has suffered illness, malnourishment & potentially torture—and his family is increasingly worried he may not survive.
November 20, 2025 at 10:15 PM
Unemployment is up. 58k manufacturing jobs lost. Grocery prices at record highs. These people are lying to your face. It’s unbelievable.

Welcome to Donald Trump’s America—where it’s fine to be a Nazi or in the KKK.
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

The President of the United States is openly calling for the execution of Democratic Members of Congress.

Where is the condemnation from Republicans over this blatant call for political violence?

We will not be intimidated.

Today, I heard from Israeli and Palestinian citizens about their efforts to co-create a safe, just, and shared future for their people. The U.S. government must be a partner in those efforts—not a yes-man to Netanyahu’s attempts to sabotage them.

Refusing to release the jobs report won’t make rising unemployment go away.

Refusing to release the Epstein Files won’t make whatever Trump did with his “terrific” friend Jeff go away.

You can only run from the truth for so long. Accountability is coming.

This is the exact excuse Trump & his cronies at the DOJ will use to justify any potential refusal to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Release all the Files. Now. The American People will not stand for anything less than complete transparency.

Today I met with members of faith-based groups from @justiceucc.bsky.social who are working on peace-building in Colombian communities. The US has invested so much in Colombia’s future & we must support full implementation of the peace agreement.

Honored to attend the premiere of “Wisdom Happiness: A Heart-to-Heart with the Dalai Lama” with @nancypelosi69.bsky.social & Richard Gere. I’m forever inspired by the courage of His Holiness—and I'll always be an advocate for the human rights & dignity of the Tibetan people.

Jamal Khashoggi was a journalist—a human being with thoughts and feelings and a family and a future.

A Saudi prince didn’t like his viewpoint—so he had him brutally murdered and hacked to death.

Anyone who can put that aside for polite dinner conversation is sick in the head.
November 19, 2025 at 4:29 PM
As I said on the floor today, releasing the Epstein Files is not about politics. It’s about the survivors—girls as young as 11 years old who were systematically abused by rich & powerful men.

Tonight, I stood in solidarity with them & all survivors of sexual assault nationwide.
November 19, 2025 at 12:00 AM
I’m glad the Senate swiftly passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. President Trump must immediately sign it into law & fully comply.

No excuses. No delays. Anything less is an insult to the survivors of Epstein’s heinous crimes & survivors of sexual assault nationwide.
