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. 🇺🇸
We the people stand for democracy! 🇺🇸#NoKings
BREAKING: President Trump is commuting George Santos’ sentence. You know, the disgraced former Congressman convicted of fraud, identity theft, and lying to donors.
The party of “law and order” strikes again.
Mainers know how dangerous forever chemicals are.
The EPA owes the public answers. NOW.
www.propublica.org/article/epa-...
🚨A critical EPA report found that PFNA—a “forever chemical”—can harm development, the liver, and reproduction, lowering birth weights and testosterone levels.
It’s been done for **6 MONTHS** but still has not been released.
Administrator Zeldin is burying the report and silencing science. WHY?
You’ve gotta be shitting me.
You don’t get to slash SNAP benefits by ~$200 billion—screwing over thousands of farmers and pushing millions of people closer to food insecurity—then blame the other party.
Republicans will do and say anything to avoid responsibility for this shutdown.
It’s pathetic.
That’s what makes the Administration’s ongoing attacks on the National Endowment for the Humanities so appalling.
As the top Democrat on the subcommittee that oversees humanities funding, I’m fighting with all I got to ensure that every American has access to powerful programs like this.
For nearly 50 years, the Maine Humanities Council has been doing amazing work.
Seeing them on the front page—for a program that helps inmates find connection in books—is so heartwarming.
*This* is the transformative impact the humanities can have. Not just on individuals, but on whole communities.
Denying basic science and economics, treating the planet like you don’t give a shit what happens to it (or to your children and grandchildren)—it's not just cynical and nihilistic. It’s incredibly dangerous. For our country, for the world, and to the very future of humanity. (3/3)
98% of climate scientists agree: Human activity is driving this disaster. This isn’t “left-wing propaganda”; it’s a fact.
For years, we’ve been seeing amazing progress with renewables. The administration is slamming the brakes on that momentum, clearing the way for their Big Oil donors. (2/3)
