This year’s Worcester African Festival was amazing! This is America at its best—neighbors becoming friends and folks from different backgrounds, cultures, and traditions all coming together to build community and celebrate the rich diversity that makes our country stronger.

Sometimes people ask—do I read the mean replies from the MAGA bots?

Toxic PFAS are poisoning our water & food—causing serious health impacts. That’s why my team & I worked tirelessly to help deliver $1.5 million for groundbreaking research happening in Worcester at @wpiedu.bsky.social where scientists are close to finding a way to eliminate these forever chemicals.

This is outrageous. Americans are getting gouged at the gas pump because of Trump’s Iran War–meanwhile oil companies are DOUBLING their profits off your pain. Republicans reward them with tax breaks and handouts. Democrats will crack down on corporate greed & hold price gougers accountable.

Shell posts best quarterly profit in four years as Iran war boosts oil and gas prices

The bumper result comes as energy majors receive a profit boost from soaring fossil fuel prices amid the Iran war.

How many medical evacuation requests for cancer patients in Gaza have been approved by the Netanyahu government since June? I asked Dr. Fadi Atrash and Dr. Khadra Salameh from Augusta Victoria Hospital in East Jerusalem. Their answer? Zero.

Proud to help cut the ribbon for 36 new apartments & an emergency shelter space that will soon open in Greenfield—bringing housing & support services together under one roof. Supported by major federal funding, this model will give folks the tools they need not just to survive, but to thrive.

Killers. Pedophiles. Stalkers. Rapists. This is the story of the cabal of criminals—violent felons, pardoned by Trump, who attacked our country on January 6, 2021. Watch the trailer below. Full mini-documentary on my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFET...

Democrats need to listen to and respect our voters—not the Washington pundits and DC donor class that for too long has protected a broken economy and failed status quo. It’s time for change.

Trump’s reckless & illegal war with Iran is costing tens of billions of dollars, thousands of innocent lives, and has already killed 18 brave American service members. All the while, prices are soaring even higher. END THIS WAR NOW!

Trump, Rubio and Hegseth are trying to dismantle the ICC because they fear being held accountable for the war crimes they are committing in office. Theirs is the Impunity Agenda.

Republicans are dragging us back into another costly, endless war in the Middle East—burning billions of taxpayer dollars and killing thousands of innocent civilians. Their reckless & illegal war of choice with Iran is Iraq 2.0.

A document declassified two years ago proves that Ethel Rosenberg was innocent of the espionage charges for which she was executed by the U.S. government in 1953. Her sons Michael and Robby, a constituent of mine, deserve to have their mother exonerated.

The Rosenberg Boys

When Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were executed by the U.S. government, they left behind two sons, ages 6 and 10. All these years later, Robby and Michael are still trying to make sense of what happened...

I join with Tibetan-Americans mourning the death of Lobga Rangzen in calling on the Chinese government to respect the fundamental rights of the Tibetan people, and on Congress to pass my Assuring the Future of Tibet Act.

Donald *definitely not a pedophile* Trump

While Republicans fight amongst themselves, Democrats are fighting for an affordable America.

Longtime Tibet advocate @repmcgovern.bsky.social attended a peaceful gathering outside the UN headquarters in New York City where Lobga Rangzen self-immolated in protest of China’s rule of Tibet. Rep. McGovern reemphasized his support for the Tibetan cause.

Sadly, France is correct…for now. A majority of the American people still want the U.S. to lead on human rights and freedom, while the Trump-Rubio team aligns with dictators and authoritarians.

Republicans’ latest talking point just shows how desperate they are. The American People aren’t buying it.

Independent analysis shows the bill for Trump’s reckless and illegal war of choice with Iran could be well over $100 BILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS. Enough to extend the Biden Administration's child tax credit—which cut child poverty in half—for an entire year!

Huge thanks to The Alliance for American Leadership for delivering a #USAID flag to my office last week! American leadership mattersa— & I’ll do everything I can to bring lifesaving humanitarian aid to those in need. It’s not just a moral imperative, it’s a smart investment in our global stability.

Too many folks work hard, play by the rules, and then get screwed over by an economy that’s rigged in favor of billionaires. From groceries and gas to healthcare and housing, life in this country is far too expensive. Democrats are FIGHTING for an AFFORDABLE AMERICA 🇺🇸🇺🇸

As if prices weren’t already high enough, these tariffs will push them even higher. But they don’t care, because the billionaires are doing just fine.

Trump Administration Imposed New Tariffs of Around 10% on Over 80 Nations

The administration launched new duties tied to countries’ imports of goods made with forced labor, replacing a 10 percent tariff immediately after it expired.

Awful. People are sick and tired of war. It’s been five months and there’s no end in sight. Yet Republicans continue to let Trump drag us further and further into another costly quagmire. ENOUGH!

Neocon warmonger Pete Hegseth refused to answer a basic question about Trump’s reckless & illegal war of choice with Iran. I’ll do it for him.

This is an outrageous insult to the brave Americans who gave their lives for our country. This administration is dishonoring their sacrifice to cover up the true toll of their disastrous war. It is truly a new low.

The number of service member deaths in Iran has mysteriously lowered from 18 to 14 on the Pentagon website. When asked for an explanation, Pentagon officials said the 4 most recent military deaths did not count since the Iran conflict "officially ended" in April.

Gas prices are once again above $4/ gallon, courtesy of the warmongering neocon liar-in-chief’s brand new endless war in the Middle East. This guy does not care about you. At all.

He literally doesn’t give a shit that his war, his tariffs, and his inflation have decimated your bank account and taken money out of your wallet.

Trump: They were screaming at me, 'What are you going to do about high prices?' I said give me a break.

For decades, Big Ag has weaponized the patent process to wage lawfare on small- and medium-sized farms in an attempt to put them out of business. My Fair Seeds for Farmers Act would put farmers ahead of greedy corporations & lower grocery costs for families! Congress must pass it NOW!

McGovern unveils bill to rein in seed monopolies - Greenfield Recorder

Rep. Jim McGovern introduced the Fair Seeds for Farmers Act to limit seed patents and protect farmers' rights to share seeds.

This isn’t complicated. You don’t have a constitutional right to a bowl of pasta.
