Here’s your daily reminder: it’s unacceptable for millionaires & billionaires to cheat on their taxes & pay less than teachers & firefighters. But they do, because the GOP makes it easy for them.

House Democrats are committed to an America where everybody pays what they owe!

If it isn't a leading medical expert, Coach Tommy Tuberville, here again to tell women what to do with their bodies.
 
This is nuts. but it’s exactly what the GOP wants: politicians in Washington overruling doctors and telling women across America what to do with their bodies.

This is the moment for Republicans in Congress to understand that compromise is not a dirty word—it’s our job. Stop following MAGA Republicans off the cliff, stand by our allies and get to work for the American people.

This is who Republicans in Congress used their power to help. The top 1% of the richest people in America. It’s not just talking points—the numbers don’t lie.

Well, it looks like Republicans in Congress can’t use a calendar. Since the House may now take last-minute votes on Saturday, we’ll be rescheduling our coffee event at the Hopkinton Public Library to Thursday, April 25 from 5:30-6:30PM. I hope you can join us!

Double Edge Theater in Ashfield is building a new community center to expand their creative programming, thanks to $1 million in federal funding I’ve secured in the federal budget. Investing in the arts isn’t an option, it’s a necessity! gazettenet.com/McGovern-earma…

Republicans' solution to everything is to blame Joe Biden.

Iran attacks Israel? Blame Joe Biden. Earthquake? Blame Joe Biden. Some even think Joe Biden was responsible for the eclipse.

Reality check: Donald Trump, not Joe Biden, abandoned our allies & empowered our adversaries.

We live in a land of abundance, yet about 40% of the perfectly good food we produce ends up in the trash.

I'm joining an incredible Massachusetts organization, Spoonfuls, to take their pledge to reduce waste, and I'm calling on my colleagues in Congress to join me.

I want to congratulate my good friend Rep. Debbie Dingell on being elected Chair of House DPCC! I can think of no one better to help lead the fight against MAGA chaos and disinformation. House Democrats put to get stuff done—she will make sure Americans know it.

Almost 500,000 people are diagnosed with Lyme disease yearly. I met with advocates to see how I can raise awareness & support research to end this disease once & for all.

It also didn’t hurt that Law & Order star Christopher Meloni—a passionate advocate on the issue—could join!

I applaud USDA Nutrition’s move to permanently increase WIC’s fruit & vegetable benefit. This means better access to healthy foods for families trying to make ends meet. An incredible result taken from the White Conference on Hunger, Nutrition & Health! nbcnews.com/news/us-news/l…
