Heartbreaking news.
My thoughts are with Assistant Fire Chief Wayne Woodbury’s family, loved ones, fellow firefighters, and the entire Searsmont community as they mourn this tremendous loss.
His courage and dedication to his community will not be forgotten.

California and other state attorneys general should keep fighting this deal, because the stakes for journalism, competition, workers, and democracy itself could not be higher.
END RANT.
We are watching media power concentrate in the hands of billionaire Trump allies at the same moment Trump is openly threatening journalists, attacking independent newsrooms, + demanding personal loyalty from every institution he touches. That should alarm every American who cares about a free press.
And Larry Ellison reportedly discussed CNN programming changes with White House contacts, including possibly removing anchors Trump dislikes.
Trump's own Defense Secretary went on record to say "the sooner David Ellison takes over that network the better."
Paramount settled Trump's baseless 60 Minutes lawsuit for $16M while its merger with Skydance was awaiting federal approval.
Trump publicly praised David Ellison's takeover of Paramount.
This is chilling.
Donald Trump's Justice Department just greenlit one of the biggest media mergers in modern history, handing CNN, Warner Bros., and HBO Max to a company controlled by one of Trump's closest billionaire allies.

It’s the end of another terrible week in Washington. Republicans approved billions more for ICE + Trump is continuing his undiplomatic and reckless war with Iran.
And don’t get me started on the president’s birthday party UFC match on the White House lawn this weekend.
Corruption beyond belief.
Mr. President, I’m confused… I thought you were washing your hands with the Kennedy Center and “giving it back” to Congress (whatever the hell that means)?
Take the L and move on already!
Also, exactly *zero* Maine fishermen run their boats at "three knots." More like 30 knots—and some go even faster. You should check out a lobster boat race sometime!
I think it might be time for one of your famous Oval Office naps, because you have ZERO idea what you’re talking about.
Hi, Donald. Mainer here.
You did not, in fact, “have to go to Japan” to get a Maine lobster. We sold millions. Our fishery is quite valuable.
It’s a pretty big reason people come here, in case you didn’t know!
If anything is hurting our lobstermen, it’s inflation (which you apparently “love”).
The Senate needs to take up the WPR immediately. It’s critical that we reassert Congress’s authority and bring this disastrous conflict to an end. (4/4)
What we need is real diplomacy. Instead, we have Trump threatening to steal Iranian oil and the Secretary of Defense saying, “If we need to negotiate with bombs, we’ll negotiate with bombs.”
This isn’t leadership. It’s dangerous bluster—with no coherent plan or strategy behind it. (3/4)
This is dangerous moment for our country, our troops, and the world. Between the devastating bombing of Iran by American and Israeli forces, Israel’s brutal incursion into Lebanon and the West Bank, and escalating tensions across the region, things could very easily spiral out of control. (2/4)
🧵
It’s been 8 days since the House passed its War Powers Resolution, which would require the President to end U.S. military involvement unless explicitly authorized by Congress.
Trump is already doubling down on his reckless and illegal war, with some of the most sweeping attacks to date. (1/4)
You know the hashtag #ETTD? We *cannot* let that happen to the NEH.
Instead of throwing billions at Trump’s pet projects, we must restore these grants and reaffirm our commitment to investing in the kinds of programs that actually strengthen our communities—and drive America’s creative spirit.
Between Trump’s disastrous war, the Republican assault on health care, and rising costs everywhere, these attacks on the NEH haven't gotten enough attention.
To date, the Admin has illegally cancelled more than $100M in grants.
Even worse, Trump's now using the NEH to bankroll his vanity projects.
This is about transparency, accountability and upholding the Constitution. Americans should be able to document what their government is doing—on THEIR streets, in THEIR communities—without fear of retribution.
Republicans rejected it.
Just another green light for Trump’s cruel immigration agenda.
My amendment simply said DHS CANNOT use taxpayer dollars to spy on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights.
In Maine and across the country, ICE + CPB are trying to intimidate observers from documenting their operations—including threats to put people on a “domestic terrorism” list.
"No, I love it. I love the inflation.”
Incredible. He literally does not care.
BTW, we should probably ask a few follow-up questions about these “millions of barrels of Iranian oil."
