Jim McGovern

And his Christian nationalist rhetoric has reportedly prompted hundreds of service members to file complaints with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.

And joining me now to talk about all of this is Democratic Congressman Jim McGovern of Massachusetts.

He's the ranking member on the Rules Committee.

Congressman, it's good to have you on the assignment.

All right.

All right.

Congressman Jim McGovern, you're sticking with me.

We have a lot more to talk about.

They want to slow down Amazon's plans to launch drone deliveries in part of Metro West and Worcester.

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, along with Representatives Jim McGovern and Lori Trahan, say there needs to be more study on environmental and noise impact of drone deliveries and more public feedback.

And as we've learned from recent local meetings, a lot of the public feedback isn't positive.

The risk does not match the want.

Members of the Massachusetts congressional delegation get their hands dirty with a plan by Amazon to launch delivery drones from its warehouse in Westboro.

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, along with Representatives Jim McGovern and Lori Trahan, want the FAA to take a closer look at this plan.

The lawmakers would like an environmental review before those plans go any further.

A recent survey finds almost everyone in Westboro is opposed.

They argued also that the Supreme Court justice who tried Flávio Bolsonaro should be, uh, charged under the Magnitsky Act, which is a law that was passed in the United States, uh, to denounce governments that are violating human rights, alleging that there had been severe violations of human rights in Brazil by the Supreme Court against the former president and other people.

And in fact, Jim McGovern, who was the congressman from Massachusetts who introduced the Magnitsky Act into Congress, uh, sent a tweet saying that his law had nothing to do with the allegations that the Trump administration were making against the Supreme Court justice or the Lula administration.

So the tariffs have been, uh, placed on Brazil as a way of pressuring the country and causing a certain amount of disruption in the economy.

In addition to this, the Trump administration attempted to send election observers to look at the election system in Brazil and evaluate whether, uh, the electronic voting system there was valid or not.

You'll have, uh, Jamie Raskin on judiciary, and you'll have people who are...

You know, you'll have Jim McGovern on rules, so you'll have an actual organized structure of, of voting and people showing up to work.

But this is not a person who's, who's built for the moment.

And, you know, it wasn't [laughs] as viral as your Cory Booker moment, but the last time I spoke to Jeffries, I asked him about $50,000 he got in, uh, donations from Palantir executives.

Who in your re- dream world would be the best leader for this moment?

I like a, I like a Katherine Clark, uh, second in command.

I like a Jim McGovern.

Uh, this is someone who knows the House really well.

And the center of that in Hampden County is one of the hubs for that education and care in a beautiful building in Springfield.

Thursdays is usually when we McGovern with McGovern, but McGovern couldn't make it this Thursday, so pinch-hitting for US representative from the second congressional district, Jim McGovern, is State Senator Jake Oliveira.

We're going on a field trip with you.

We are on a field trip.

Representative Jackie Speier said the only sounds audible from the facility were the rushing air conditioning and the cries of small children and babies.

Representative Jim McGovern reported migrants who hadn't showered in 40 days.

The smell, multiple witnesses reported, was overwhelming.

And this is where Ayla Lucas is right now.
