ICE arrested ~200 people during its surge in Maine. Only a few had committed a crime.
DHS data shows <14% of the people they’ve apprehended had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses.
Fourteen.
The “worst of the worst” argument was always bullshit. Now we have the data to prove it.

Frigid ferry ride this morning! This week in the House:
👉🏻 DHS funding is still up in the air. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are demanding changes before giving ICE another cent.
👉🏻 We’ll take up Republicans’ voter suppression bill—which would disenfranchise millions.
I’ll be a HELL NO on that one.
Who’s ready for Green Day and Bad Bunny tonight? 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ #ICEOUT #superbowl
In a truly free society, citizens don’t live in fear of their own government.
My Stop ICE Intimidation Act demands transparency and accountability and ensures that not one more taxpayer dollar is spent on this surveillance state.
Trump shared an AI video depicting the Obamas as apes.
This tells you all you need to know about his character—and how racist ideology has permeated the modern Republican party.
This isn’t a dog whistle. It’s vile, explicit racism shouted through a bullhorn.
This man should not be President.
This will impact *all* Mainers. And it could’ve been avoided. Instead, billionaires are getting enormous tax breaks.
The damage this Administration is doing to our country—and vulnerable communities especially—is incalculable.
40% of Maine hospitals are losing money.
76% are at risk of "severe financial problems."
Several have been forced to close.
Things are about to get worse.
Thanks to the Big Ugly Bill, 31,000 Mainers are at risk of losing coverage. That could lead to a potential death-spiral at many hospitals.
I guess funding Melania's so-called "documentary" was more important than paying literal war zone correspondents, photojournalists, sports reporters, and hundreds more.
Included in yesterday’s layoffs: the tech reporter who covers Amazon (because of course).
I’m completely disgusted by the layoffs at The Washington Post. It’s a travesty.
Jeff Bezos is worth $250 BILLION. He is single-handedly destroying one of our country’s most important newspapers.
As the paper’s masthead famously says, “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”
Bezos is turning off the lights.
The Kennedy Center is a living monument to a man who fervently believed in the emancipatory power of art and culture.
It’s a legacy that Donald Trump clearly doesn’t understand—and has no right to usurp for himself.
I will do everything in my power to ensure he doesn’t.
Read my op-ed at MS NOW 👇
ICE has scaled down in Maine. But they ARE still here.
Please continue to report ICE activity to 207-544-9989.
That so many people are calling my office about this means no one's taking anything for granted. They're continuing to protect their neighbors.
Be vigilant, be safe and KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!
To my Republican colleagues: This isn't a partisan issue. It's a constitutional one.
Please grow a spine.
If we allow this to stand, we are sending a message that any President can take any congressionally-created institution, bend it to their will, and shut it down when it becomes inconvenient.
The Kennedy Center is a living monument to JFK and to the belief that art, culture, and shared experience bind our country together.
It is NOT a private real estate project.
It is NOT a campaign prop.
It is NOT a vanity playground for demolition.
And it certainly does NOT belong to Donald Trump.
We’re standing our ground. Americans are demanding change and accountability. Without it, there’s no path forward on DHS funding.
I voted NO on today's funding bill.
We now have 10 days to negotiate on DHS—and a real chance to hold ICE accountable:
✅ Masks off
✅ Body cams on
✅ Mandatory judicial warrants
✅ No more prisons
✅ Strip funding from the Big Ugly Bill
✅ Get the hell out of Minnesota!
Believe me, it’s a LONG list.
Oversight only works if agencies have the people to do it.
I asked the OIG about this because we cannot pretend these staffing cuts are just numbers on a spreadsheet. They have real consequences for farmers, for rural communities, and for anyone who depends on USDA showing up when it matters most.
When the watchdog can’t watch, farmers pay the price.
Here in Maine we lost 27% of our USDA workforce because of DOGE—among the highest in the country.
That means fewer people helping farmers access loans and aid.
Fewer people to protect our soil and water.
Fewer experts and boots on the ground.
Ticket sales have plummeted. Programs are being cancelled left and right. And the best idea Trump has is to hold the World Cup draw there so he can give *himself* the “FIFA Peace Prize.”
Like every business he’s ever owned, Trump is destroying this once-proud institution.
Trump says he’s closing the Kennedy Center because it needs “major renovations.”
Bull. Shit.
It’s closing because so many artists—including the National Symphony and National Opera—refuse to play at a venue that the president is obviously (and grossly) mismanaging.
