To be in that beautiful space with so many amazing people was truly special.
It was especially exciting to meet Geraldine Byrne Nason, Ireland’s Ambassador to the U.S., whose visit was a meaningful moment not just for MIHC, but for communities across Maine that cherish their Irish roots. (2/3)

Last Thursday, I was honored to receive the Claddagh Award from the Maine Irish Heritage Center.
I also had a chance to share a few words about the incredible impact Irish Americans have had on our state—and what those contribution can teach us about embracing today’s immigrant communities. (1/3)
Back in Maine after a whirlwind week in Washington.
The hardworking men and women who serve in the U.S. Coast Guard deserve leaders with moral clarity—people who truly understand what is and isn’t acceptable.
This heinous decision has since been reversed, but let’s be clear: They only backed down because the public found out.
That speaks volumes.
Swastikas and nooses are symbols of racial terror.
A Trump lackey tried to downgrade them to "potentially divisive."
Tell that to the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust.
To the 400,000 U.S. troops who died fighting fascism.
To every Black American who lived under the threat of lynching.
The CIA concluded MBS had Jamal Khashoggi killed and dismembered.
Trump still gave him an audience (and a big gala dinner)—and lashed out at a reporter who dared to ask about the murder.
“Things happen,” he said.
Kudos to Mary Bruce for trying to hold Trump and his murderous allies accountable.
Texas Republicans forced the CEO of Alamo Trust to resign.
Why? Because of a post about Indigenous Peoples Day—and the CEO wanting the Alamo to be a “beacon for reconciliation."
She's a Republican. They buried her anyway.
This is so disturbing—and shows how nuts MAGA's "woke" crusade has become.
All of these members have military experience—and are rightfully alarmed that the Admin is directing people to commit violence against Americans.
Those who serve our country swore an oath to the Constitution, *not* Trump.
If pointing that out is "treason," what else is he willing to criminalize?
Trump believes he should be able to execute members of Congress.
Their supposed crime: putting out a video advising the intelligence community and military personnel not to follow unlawful orders.
This is totally disgusting—and terrifying.
What happened to “toning down the rhetoric”?
Trump can try to bury the truth by canceling the annual food security report—while spreading lies about SNAP fraud and dismissing decades of research—but families know how real the hunger crisis is.
We’re not backing down—no matter how hard the Admin tries to hide the reality of hunger in America.
Celebrating this milestone alongside General Dianne Dunn, Adjutant General of the MNG, made today especially meaningful.
America stands with the people of Montenegro as they advance democratic reforms and continue their progress toward the EU. Maine will continue to play a proud role in that work.
There’s always a Maine connection, as they say, and ours with Montenegro is ironclad. Next year marks the 20th anniversary of the partnership between Montenegro and the Maine National Guard, who've spent years helping strengthen Montenegro’s democratic institutions and building security cooperation.
Whatever crises we face, America’s commitment to our allies must remain steadfast.
As co-chair of the Montenegro Caucus, I was honored to join President Milatović + the Montenegrin delegation to celebrate 120 years of diplomatic relations—and to reaffirm our strong support for Montenegro’s future.
Huge thanks to Hunger Free America for shedding light on this growing crisis—and to all the elected officials who came out to make their voices heard.
If we can find $4.5 trillion to give tax breaks to the rich and powerful, we can find the money to feed people.
It really is as simple as that.
It’s not often that a press conference moves Senators and Congresspeople to tears.
Today was different.
Between their $186 billion in SNAP cuts and the rising costs of groceries, Republican policies are creating a food insecurity crisis in this country.
We must do everything we can to address it.
Today, the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s heinous abuse got some semblance of the justice they have fought so long for.
Now, ALL the files must be released.
As Teresa said, the truth will prevail.
Remember: The Department of Education was created by Congress. Only an act of Congress can shut it down.
If they get away with this, the impacts will be devastating—on the people these programs serve, and on so many communities that will be forced to pick up the slack (and the tab).
Trump is doubling down on dismantling DoED—by moving the offices that oversee civil rights, special education, Indian education, and secondary education into other agencies.
By law, these programs must be housed in DoED. You can’t just move them to another department. That’s not how it works.
I implore my colleagues in the Senate to follow our lead and vote to make these files public without delay.
And if President Trump is truly serious about transparency, he doesn’t have to wait for Congress. He can release every remaining file today.
The victims deserve nothing less.
With our near-unanimous vote today, the House took the first crucial step in making all the Epstein files public—and finally giving the victims the justice they deserve.
I know it wasn’t easy for Republicans to defy partisan pressure (including outright intimidation). But they did the right thing.
