While Americans are getting slammed by higher health care costs and SNAP cuts, Senate Republicans slipped a payout for themselves into the funding bill.
8 senators tied to Jan. 6 will each get *at least* $1 million taxpayer-funded checks.
We’re voting NO on this egregious and utterly corrupt deal.

I'm voting HELL NO on the funding bill that lets health care costs skyrocket.
This fight is far from over. House Democrats are filing a discharge petition to force Speaker Johnson to extend the ACA tax credits (I already signed).
More to come, but first: time to FINALLY see Rep. Grijalva sworn in!
🚨 Epstein wrote that Trump was “the dog that hasn’t barked” —and spent “hours” with one of his victims.
Now, Republicans are scrambling to pull members off the discharge petition.
They'll do *anything* to protect Trump.
The people deserve the truth. The victims deserve justice.
#ReleaseTheFiles
Back in Washington. No more hiding, Speaker Johnson. It’s time to face the people you’ve failed.
@contrariannews.org @jenrubin.bsky.social
Months after firing the head of the BLS, Trump has found a new source for economic data: DoorDash.
Officials are using the company’s “Breakfast Basics Index” to show the economy is booming.
People are struggling, and this Administration is cherry-picking niche numbers to sell their insane lies.
People are pissed about the Senate. I am, too.
That’s why it’s so important that House Democrats continue to fight like hell for affordable health care (and hopefully get a few Rs to join us).
Silver lining: Rep. Grijalva can now be sworn in—which gives us the votes to release the Epstein files.
Their stories are woven into the fabric of every city and town Maine.
Their service, and the service and sacrifices of their families, has been immeasurable.
It’s on all of us to ensure that these contributions—and the impacts they’ve had on our state—are never forgotten. (3/3)
Thousands have given their lives—for our country, for the values we hold dear, and for the special place they called home.
Their impacts have been felt far beyond the battlefield. Our vets have been shipbuilders and farmers. Educators and entrepreneurs. Public servants and community leaders. (2/3)
Through their service and sacrifice, Maine’s veterans haven’t just made our state great. They’ve helped shape our country.
During the Civil War, Maine sent a higher % of its population to fight than any other Union state. Mainers have served with distinction in every major conflict since. (1/3)
Asked point-blank if he’ll bring ACA extensions to the floor, Speaker Johnson bolted. We know the answer already. He won’t.
Further proof that Republicans don’t care about bringing your health care costs down.
A deal that lets ACA credits expire fails the millions of families counting on us to keep their health care affordable.
Republicans have spent years trying to dismantle the ACA, and pretending Johnson will allow a vote on a clean ACA bill in the House is a fantasy.
I will be a no on this “deal.”
🚨BREAKING: The cruelty of this Administration keeps reaching new extremes. Trump’s USDA is ordering states to UNDO the work already done to feed millions of hungry families, kids, and seniors. It’s abhorrent, it’s chaotic, and it’s indefensible.
🚨BREAKING🚨
After appealing yesterday’s ruling to release *all* SNAP benefits for November, the Administration is backing down.
Remember: These funds are available. They tried to block them anyway.
They’re clearly feeling the pressure. Let's hope this sticks—and every last SNAP dollar is paid out.
No one is excusing China’s heavy reliance on coal (let alone its repression and human rights abuses). But the lesson here is clear:
Investing in clean energy isn’t just an ethical imperative—it’s an economic one.
By going green, we SAVE green!
While Republicans continue to subsidize fossil fuel giants and sabotage investments in renewables, China is sprinting into the future—and leaving us in the dust.
887 gigawatts of solar capacity. More than double what the U.S. and Europe have *combined*.
The scope and scale are simply staggering.
While it’s sad to lose such a trusted and cherished resource, I want to thank the Geiger family for stewarding this iconic journal for generations.
The impact the Almanac has had on farmers across the country—and here in Maine—is immeasurable. (3/3)
As a longtime organic farmer, I’ve used the Almanac more times than I can count. Not just for its predictions on how hard the Maine winter will be, but for advice on the best days to plant, tips for preserving food, and *so* much other helpful information (and wisdom). (2/3)
Just about everyone’s heard of the Farmer’s Almanac. What most people don’t know is that, for more than 200 years, it’s been produced right here in Maine.
Yesterday, Geiger—the Lewiston-based company that’s published the Almanac since 1818—announced it will discontinue publication. (1/3)
A judge ordered the Trump Administration to pay full SNAP benefits.
Their response? Immediately appeal the ruling.
They’re going to court to keep 42 million hungry Americans from getting food.
Shameful.
NEW: A federal judge ordered the Trump admin to fund food stamps in full this month. Pretty quickly, DOJ said it would appeal.
Now, millions of poor families are in limbo, and it is not entirely clear if/when they're going to see *any* SNAP payments in Nov.

I’ve been honored to serve with Nancy Pelosi my entire time in Congress—and to see her passion, determination and resolve in action.
Never were these traits more evident than during the fight to pass the Affordable Health Care.
Without her, this transformative legislation would’ve never happened.
