Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. Mike Johnson sets the schedule. He chose to leave Washington without a vote on the Senate compromise to pay the TSA, FEMA, and the Co...

After just one month, Trump has already wasted more than $38 BILLION on his reckless war of choice against Iran. Think about all the hospitals, schools, roads, and bridges we could build with that ...

I have a question for my GOP colleagues: why the hell would you want to come to Congress, hand over all your power to the president, and then betray your constituents and your values? Is it really ...

ICE already has $85 BILLION—more than most militaries in the world! Only deranged MAGA extremists would hold critical security agencies like the Coast Guard, TSA, and FEMA hostage to give Trump’s ...

Power to some is the ability to say no. Power to me is the ability to say yes. When I was Chair of the Rules Committee, I made nearly half of amendments in order to for debate. This Majority block...

Republicans could have easily ended the shutdown on Friday. All @speakermjohnson had to do was pass the bill that every single Senator, including the MAGA Republicans, moved forward. Instead, he ...

Great to tour the Millbury Street Elementary School in Grafton! Following the tour, I spoke with 5th graders about how government works at the local, state and federal levels. Honored to spend time...

Trump’s Big Ugly Law cut basic food aid to give ICE billions to terrorize communities. We should be feeding families, not feeding fear. That’s why Rep. McGovern & I introduced the Feeding Fami...

Last night, the Senate reached a unanimous, bipartisan compromise to fund the security agencies like TSA & FEMA that keep us safe. Instead of voting for it, extremist MAGA lunatics in the House ble...

Rep. McGovern (D-MA): We just need to fund all of the agencies that are following the law—that’s what we’ve been asking for. TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA—let’s just fund them.

✈️ FLY OUT DAY LANDS SOON 🚨 🎙️ @repmcgovern stopped by the townhouse for a conversation with @jakesherman and @apalmerdc about the ongoing DHS shutdown, limiting President Trump’s war powers on Ir...

ICE & CBP are totally out of control—terrorizing our communities & executing American citizens in the streets. It’s insane that Republicans are holding the TSA hostage so Trump’s secret police can ...

Republicans are now pretending to care about federal workers like TSA agents not getting paid. Where were those same Republicans when Trump called federal employees “crooked” and “dishonest?” Or ...

🚨FLY OUT DAY LANDS TOMORROW ✈️ Congress is heading out — but the drama isn’t slowing down. 🎙️ Ahead of Congress’ two-week recess, @repmcgovern sits down with @jakesherman and @apalmerdc to discus...

It would have cost $30 Billion to extend the ACA healthcare tax credits for 1 year, making health insurance more affordable for millions of Americans. Instead, Republicans burned through that mone...
