Cancer touches us all. It doesn’t care how you vote—and the fight to prevent it and catch it early is one that brings us together across party lines. I was so grateful to join the bipartisan Annual Action for Cancer Awareness Awards Luncheon of @PreventCancer’s #CongressionalFamilies Program, led by my wife Lisa. Congratulations to this year’s honorees: @SpeakerPelosi, actress and advocate Amanda Peet, and congressional spouses Colleen Peters & Heather Obernolte. All are cancer prevention leaders who use their platform to support this important work!

As we approach Labor Day, remember: the strength of our workforce isn’t just measured by the jobs we create, but by who we include. @AISSystems in Leominster shows what’s possible when businesses create opportunities for people of all abilities to succeed.

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.

VFW, our nation’s top veteran advocacy group, called out MAGA for trying to cut veterans benefits for disabled veterans. The response from House Republicans has been one of the most disgraceful and cowardly things I’ve ever seen.

Trump says housing affordability is “unimportant.” What does he think matters? His insane attempt to relitigate the 2020 election with his phony claims of widespread voter fraud. What the hell is wrong with him?

🧵1/ The NBA should divest from the UAE until it ends support for the RSF in Sudan. Sudan is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises: more than 11 million people displaced, widespread atrocities, and millions facing hunger and famine.

🚨NEWS: Republicans just pulled a vote on the Iran War Powers Resolution because they knew they were going to lose. They rigged the rules to protect the president’s historically unpopular war from a fair up or down vote.

McGovern: Can you explain what is happening with the Iran war powers resolution that was scheduled to be voted on this evening? Are we not voting on it because the American people are sick and tired of this illegal war that is costing tens of billions of dollars? Gas prices are through the roof. People can't afford their groceries. Is that why you're pulling it? You guys don't have the guts or the balls…

After waiting around all night for Republicans to make a deal—with themselves—on a procedural rule for the week, Democrats showed up to the Rules Committee for an 8am meeting. Unsurprisingly, when we showed up, we were told there is still no deal. Their chaos is only matched by their incompetence. Here is the statement I would have made if we had gaveled in on time: “Madam Chair, the way this place is being run by your so-called leadership is beyond incompetent. This is no way to run a banana stand, let alone the Congress of the United States of America. “And I mean this with no disrespect to you or your staff, but the way this majority is behaving is embarrassing for the institution and it is bad for the country. You guys couldn’t organize a two-car funeral! It’s pathetic. “You have razor thin majority. You’ve been in total control for 16 months now. And you still can’t get it right. “The alternative to this dysfunction is that you actually work with us on this side of the aisle to move forward legislation in a bipartisan way. You could do that, but you have not. “You are advancing legislation that may be good for your donors—but this is lousy for our constituents. And it’s lousy for America. “So here we are. The dysfunction continues. I have an honest question, what changed between midnight—when you sent us home—and 6am today when you told us we were coming in? “What the hell did you figure out at 3am that you couldn’t figure out with a zoom call over the weekend? I’m happy to yield to the Chairwoman if you’ll tell me what changed overnight so we can at least get some kind of guarantee that this is not another exercise in futility. “You continue to fight with yourselves and find yourselves in the same mess over and over and over again when your bad bills inevitably implode at the last minute because you didn’t do your homework. “So madam chair, I am done dignifying this exercise as if everything is normal. It is not normal. “You clearly didn’t do your homework and the American people are paying the price.”
The Committee will reconvene at approximately 8:00 AM ET.

So many politicians in Washington are bought and owned by greedy corporations—it's exactly why the rich are getting richer while working families struggle to get by. We HAVE to deal with this. It’s time to restore our democracy and get big money OUT of politics. youtube.com/watch?v=ECMubl_8…

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

The man with the nuclear codes wants to annex a key ally…and he can’t even remember which one it is. It’s time to take away the car keys.
Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

🚨NEWS: I'm launching a statewide #EndHungerNowTour to visit every congressional district in Massachusetts & see how Trump's cruel cuts to food assistance are hurting our communities. This administration thinks they can starve hungry people and then silence their voices by canceling reports on hunger in America. Not on my watch. I'm listening to your stories & fighting back.

You know what’s weak & stupid? Dragging us into another costly endless war that puts our troops & innocent civilians in harm’s way. Strong leaders have moral clarity & use power responsibly. Weak men like Trump make other peoples’ kids fight in their unnecessary, illegal wars.
FOX & FRIENDS: Rep. Jim McGovern is saying you did not get authorization from Congress and that you just launched an 'unjustified, illegal strike on Venezuela.' Your reaction? TRUMP: These are weak, stupid people
