Rep. Morgan McGarvey, a current member of the U.S. Congress representing Kentucky's 3rd district, recently shared his thoughts on several pressing issues via social media posts. McGarvey succeeded John Yarmuth in 2023 and has a background in law with degrees from the University of Missouri and the University of Kentucky College of Law.

On November 20, 2024, McGarvey addressed the issue of violence against transgender individuals. He stated, "Today we mourn all of the trans lives lost to violence—friends, neighbors, family, and loved ones." Emphasizing the need for greater protection for the transgender community, he pledged continued efforts alongside his colleagues from the Equality Caucus to work towards a safer future.

Later that day, McGarvey announced his presence on another social media platform. In his post at 22:36 UTC, he informed followers that "ICYMI: I'm on @bluesky! We'll keep sharing info here, there, and everywhere." This suggests an effort to maintain communication across multiple platforms.

On November 21, 2024, McGarvey focused on healthcare affordability. He expressed concern over individuals having to choose between essential medications and basic needs. Highlighting recent legislative efforts by Congressional Democrats to make insulin more affordable for seniors at $35 a month, he affirmed ongoing work "to cap the cost of insulin for all Americans." This message was part of his recognition of National Diabetes Month.
