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.
This week Congress has a real opportunity to rein in ICE and CBP. I will be a HELL NO on the Homeland Security bill. #ICEOUT
It was never about finding the “worst of the worst.” It was always about meeting some made-up deportation quota—and kicking as many non-white people out of this country as possible.
It’s racist, it’s fascist, and it’s doing irreparable damage to our country. (4/4)
#ICEOUT
My office is doing everything it can to identify and locate others who’ve been taken, but there’s a clear pattern to these abductions: a VAST majority are following a lawful immigration process, have committed no crimes, and are simply trying to build a life for themselves and their families. (3/4)
A man with no criminal record whose car window was smashed in while his baby was inside.
An engineer who earned his master’s from UMaine and was here on a work visa. He also had his car window smashed in.
Another mom with a pending asylum case who was abducted by ICE in front of her kids. (2/4)
🧵
DHS is bragging about capturing 200 people in Maine.
Thus far, only 8 of those identified have been accused or convicted of a crime.
Who are some of the other so-called “worst of the worst”?
A mother whose only “crime” was letting her 4-year-old play soccer with other kids outside. (1/4)
In the words of James Baldwin, “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
Let us always have the courage to face our shared history—and the love and imagination necessary to build a better future. (3/3)
