Donald Trump is not a king. And he will never be a king. Because we will not ever let him be a king. Thousands across Central Mass are here in Worcester to fight for our democracy.

An AMAZING crowd in Northampton today of folks from all over the 413.

Thousands of people standing up for what’s right—saying NO to Donald Trump and his authoritarian agenda.

This is what patriotism looks like!

It’s our first rally of #NoKings day. What a crowd for the first stop in Haydenville! We will not back down to Donald Trump—protest is what this country was founded on.

RFK Jr and his quack science is bad for all Americans.

It shouldn’t take a governor like Maura Healey to keep us safe. We deserve a hell of a lot better than RFK’s conspiracy theories.

Thank you Governor Healey.

On Labor Day, we celebrate working families and organized labor.

Everyday, I’ll never stop fighting for labor unions in this country.

When working Americans do well, we all do well.

Trump attacks unions and working people every day. I'm proud to stand with my friends in organized labor to fight back.

Great to celebrate Labor Day at the Manor in West Boylston for the Central Mass AFL-CIO labor rally!

I’ll never back down from defending unions and everyday working families.

Donald Trump is a con man. Americans see that he’s not for the people.

He doesn’t care about us. And it shows.

This guy is running a government for the billionaires and by the billionaires.

Where Trump's approval rating as president stands in a brand new national poll

Americans' concerns over the economy, and specifically inflation and tariffs, appear to be partially fueling the downward trend of President Donald Trump's approval ratings in a new national poll.

Donald Trump’s economy has made costs go up for all four months he’s been in office.

This tariff trade war is just another terrible decision that hurts the American economy.

Jim McGovern @jimmcgovernma.bsky.social · Apr 10

Trump’s tariff flip-flop appears an awful lot like a global pump and dump scheme—letting his billionaire buddies rake in record profits via insider trading while everyday Americans lose their life savings.

Who knew what, and when? Start asking questions!!

Trump says groceries are “old-fashioned.”

Maybe it’s because he never went to a grocery store.

Donald doesn’t care about us. All he cares about is himself and his billionaire buddies.

Donald Trump and his billionaire cronies don’t give a damn that their tariffs will make American families suffer every day and will tank the global economy.

Anything to fund tax breaks for billionaires, right Donald?

America should be about uplifting our students, not making it harder to give quality and fair public education.

This is no way to treat our federal workers.

They do critical work on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Things that we rely on.
