This Administration has no problem spending $175 billion on untrained and out-of-control immigration agencies, but $2 billion for these modest resources is too much.
That speaks volumes.
It's clear this Administration has no idea what it’s doing—and lives are quite literally at risk because of it.

Earlier this week the Admin cancelled $2B in Substance Abuse + Mental Health Services grants.
Thankfully, the funding has been restored.
These grants provide critical resources. Suicide prevention, substance-use treatment—I hear from Mainers every day that we need more of these services, not less.
We WILL hold them accountable for any illegal actions they undertake.
Know your rights.
Stay calm.
Stay vigilant.
Help your neighbors.
I’ll be sharing more updates as we learn more.
Here are some helpful resources👇
We’re hearing reports that DHS could launch increased immigration operations in Maine in the coming days.
I know people are scared. Please know I stand firmly with our immigrant communities.
We will NOT stand by as ICE, CBP, or any other agency terrorizes our communities and abducts our neighbors.
I’ve signed Articles of Impeachment to have Noem removed from office.
She's engaged in blatant self-dealing, unleashed violence on innocent people, and made a mockery of our Constitution.
Her lies, incompetence, and moral failings undermine the protections she swore to uphold.
Noem must go. NOW.
The same people now claiming Somalia is “safe” increased the State Department’s advisory to “Do Not Travel,” while barring immigration from Somalia over concerns about human trafficking, terrorism, and murder.
You can't have it both ways.
Let’s call this what it is: collective retribution.
This is so cruel and vindictive.
Trump's decision to revoke Temporary Protected Status from every Somali in the U.S. will put lives at risk, including here in Maine.
Doing this with no grace period or automatic extension means hundreds of thousands are now vulnerable to detention and removal.
Add this to the endless list of reasons why Noem should be removed from office—and why DHS needs to be dramatically reigned in.
Even if Noem has no idea what this means, the fact that *anyone* in the Admin would put a Nazi slogan on public display is incredibly alarming—and points to the moral rot at the heart of DHS.
They are using a NAZI SLOGAN to threaten anyone who dares to oppose their army of thugs.
Let that sink in.
2: the Admin continues to make completely backwards decisions that will have serious impacts on our health and our environment. The latest? the EPA won’t take human harm into consideration when setting air pollution limits. Corporate profits mean more to them than your kid’s health. Let that sink in
1: Kudos to Minnesota for suing ICE. That agent murdered a US citizen—a mother of 3–in cold blood. Their continued presence there and in our communities across the country are only fomenting fear and causing violence. Proud of my home state for standing up for their citizens.
About to head in for the first vote series of the week, but just a few quick thoughts on this nice night outside the Capitol.
Trump knows he's unpopular, and that a blue wave will mean real accountability. So he’s doing everything he can to prevent it.
When confronted with such blatant suppression, there’s only one thing to do: turn out in such unprecedented numbers that their attempts to game the system fail miserably.
It's like every accusation is a confession.
Trump accuses Democrats of rigging the 2020 election (based on ZERO evidence), then does shit like:
🚨 Pressure red states to gerrymander
🚨 Restrict mail-in voting
🚨 Demand voter rolls from blue states
🚨 Pack DOJ, DHS, and the FBI with election-deniers
Unilaterally overthrowing another country’s government only creates more chaos, more violence, and more instability. Generations worth, in Iran's case.
We should support the will and rights of the Iranian people. But not with American guns and bombs.
Not here, not now, not ever. (4/4)
Just look at Iran. We ousted a democratically elected leader (Mohammad Mosaddegh) in 1953, installed a puppet dictator, which led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979—and created the oppressive system that millions of Iranians are now protesting. (3/4)
Between the illegal strikes on Venezuela and their incessant saber-rattling around the world (Iran, Mexico, Greenland, Cuba—the list goes on), it’s clear that this Administration has ZERO understanding of how badly American-led regime changes tend to work out. (2/4)
🧵
I’m horrified by the reports coming out of Iran, where hundreds of protestors have been killed.
Iran’s brutal regime must be held accountable, and the Iranian people deserve to have their voices heard. But an unprovoked attack—which Trump is threatening—will only lead to more violence. (1/4)
Back to DC to fight this out of control Administration.
We're moving forward on impeaching Noem. We’re also looking at how we can check DHS, which is enabling untrained ICE agents to terrorize our communities.
Protests this weekend showed people are standing up. I’m proud to stand with them.
Doug LaMalfa once offered to give me a few empty tequila bottles—so I could return them for deposits in Maine.
I thought he was joking. Then the bottles showed up.
That was Doug: funny, good-natured, and always willing to reach across the aisle.
I’ll miss him. And I know his loved ones will, too.
