People are FURIOUS. So am I.
Trump has brazenly gone ahead with his destruction of the East Wing with no approval, oversight, coordination, or regard for historic preservation.
I’m demanding he stop work NOW.
We're sick of him acting like a King—and treating Washington like it’s *his* property.
The law clearly states that “new additions should not destroy the historic fabric of the property.”
He did it anyway.
Why? Because he *zero* regard for the law—and has never faced any real accountability.
I’ve been in the East Wing. It’s amazingly beautiful. If you were visiting the White House, this was where you’d probably come in.
Trump just totally destroyed it. Knocked it down like a dilapidated garage. Without any approval or oversight.
This is the People’s House. He has NO right to do this.
Great news!
After significant pushback (including from our office), the USCG has agreed to leave all of Maine’s navigational aids in place.
When people raise their voices—when communities come together—it really does make a difference.
Thanks to everyone who spoke out. Your voices were heard!
Let me see if I have this right:
Republicans can’t find $8 billion for SNAP, but *can* find $40 billion for Argentina and $230 million to line the president’s pockets… because his feelings are hurt?
The math isn’t mathing—and the American people aren’t buying the bullshit Republicans are selling.
They’re using the millions of Americans who rely on SNAP—some of the most vulnerable people in our communities—as bargaining chips.
It’s callous, cruel, and the definition of bad-faith negotiating.
Democrats are fighting with everything we have to ensure these vital benefits aren’t disrupted.
Republicans worked overtime to pass their Big Ugly Bill, taking food away from millions of people—all to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
Now they're threatening to withhold SNAP benefits because of *their* shutdown.
They can easily find the money to keep SNAP going. They just don't want to.
Trump's USDA says it can’t disburse SNAP benefits on November 1 because of the shutdown.
SNAP is an entitlement program. They could *easily* find the $8 billion.
Meanwhile, they’re sending $40 BILLION to bail out Argentina, screwing American farmers in the process.
It’s bullshit—and they know it.
I'm just sitting here waiting for my granddaughter to get off the bus, and what do I read?
“Trump Demands Justice Department Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases.”
Literally stealing money from American taxpayers to line his own pockets.
The grift never ends with this guy.
When a president treats the White House like a private venue for his wealthy friends, it says everything about how he sees this country: not as a democracy to be served, but as something that can be bought if the price is right. (5/5)
I’ve served long enough to know that transparency and process are not partisan issues. When decisions about our nation’s most iconic public building are made behind closed doors, the public has every right to demand answers. (4/5)
1. What authority allows this to move forward without congressional or historic-preservation approval?
2. Who are the donors, and what do they expect in return?
3. What precedent does this set for future presidents, who might see the White House as a personal asset instead of a public trust? (3/5)
For more than a century, changes to the White House have gone through rigorous review and public oversight.
The idea that any president could order a massive structural change, funded by anonymous corporate donors, without public accountability raises serious questions: (2/5)
In all seriousness, seeing Trump demolish the East Wing to build a gilded ballroom for his wealthy donors is stomach-churning stuff.
The Administration claims no congressional approval or historic-preservation review was needed before demolition began.
That should alarm everyone.
Quick 🧵 (1/5)
I guess his symbolic destruction of the office just wasn’t cutting it.
People across the country are receiving notices that their ACA premiums are about to skyrocket—all because Republicans refuse to act.
It’s expected to be especially bad for Mainers.
Republicans: Come to the table. Extend the credits. Cancel the cuts. Swear in Rep. Grijalva.
Do your damn jobs!
It’s been quite the journey for Republicans!
They literally can’t comprehend that people are *this* upset and angry.
Keep standing up. Keep speaking out.
It's working.
#NoKings
Yesterday MILLIONS of Americans took to the streets in peaceful protest against Trump and his increasingly tyrannical regime.
How’d he respond? With a disgusting AI video literally dumping on our First Amendment rights.
Disgraceful.
#NoKings
Maine SHOWED UP today for #NoKings! THIS is what loving your country looks like. 🇺🇸
