It’s Day 15 of the Republican shutdown, and @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social and I have one question:
Why was it such a huge emergency to call Congress back to pass tax cuts for the rich, but millions of people losing health care (and federal paychecks) is 🤷♀️?
We came to work. Where the hell are you?

Update from the empty halls of Congress:
The Speaker has still not sworn in Rep. Grijalva.
The House doors remain locked.
The Epstein files are still sealed.
The Republican health care crisis is still weighing on millions of Americans.
Speaker Johnson needs to do his job so WE can do ours!
“Tone down the rhetoric!”
“Stop being so divisive!”
With MAGA, every accusation is a confession.
Here’s a free idea for Republicans: Instead of demonizing a bunch of protestors in frog costumes, maybe get your own house in order.
Vile vitriol like this has no place in our politics, PERIOD.
To call peaceful protests “Hate America Rallies,” or smear Indivisible as “domestic terrorists” is completely absurd—and profoundly un-American.
Exercising our 1st Amendment rights *is* loving our country.
They’re trying to scare people into silence. Don’t let them.
See you Saturday. 🇺🇸

History should be told honestly, not rewritten to glorify oppression. In Maine, we’ll keep celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
Trump can keep celebrating his whitewashed myths. (4/4)
That’s why, in 2019, Maine adopted Indigenous People's Day—a long-overdue gesture of honesty and recognition.
Now, as Trump once again proclaims “Columbus Day," hailing him as “the original American hero,” we’re reminded why this day—and the truth it represents—matters so deeply. (3/4)
Columbus Day has long been a painful reminder of the suffering that was inflicted on Indigenous peoples in North America, and the ongoing failure by the federal government to live up to its trust and treaty obligations to sovereign tribal nations. (2/4)
🧵
For more than 12,000 years, Indigenous peoples have inhabited the vast and beautiful lands we call Maine.
On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor their enduring contributions, acknowledge the injustices they’ve faced, and recommit ourselves to a future rooted in respect, sovereignty, and truth. (1/4)
Next Saturday, it’s the American people’s turn to show this Administration—loudly, clearly, and peacefully—that their extreme agenda is falling apart.

This week, we’ve seen:
🚨 MTG blame Republicans for the shutdown
🚨 Rand Paul call out Trump’s reckless attacks on alleged cartel boats in Venezuela
🚨 Laura Loomer blast Hegseth’s decision to let Qatar build a training base in Idaho (this is totally insane, by the way)
The MAGA ranks are breaking.
HUGE congrats to Margaret and Jeremy on their amazing accomplishment (and just in time for Indigenous Peoples Day)!
You’ve made all Mainers—and Indigenous communities across the country—so incredibly proud. (2/2)
This year’s class of 22 MacArthur Fellows includes not one, but *TWO* Mainers!
What makes this so special is how both recipients have used their genius to highlight the Indigenous experience: Jeremy through his extraordinary basketweaving, and Margaret through her game-changing cartography. (1/2)
Seriously though: The American people *want* us back to work—so we can stop the growing health care crisis and continue fighting this out-of-control president*.
(*Release the damn files.)
9 days into the Republican shutdown, Speaker Johnson still refuses to call us back because he’s afraid the Epstein files will finally be released.
Meanwhile, Trump is threatening to invade American cities and jail his political opponents.
At least my tiny kiwis are healthy and normal!
When I see the passion and energy of young people like Hailey, a @howard.edu student who’s helping her peers embrace slow fashion, I can’t help but feel hopeful for the future.
“Celebrating is a form of action.”
I love that!
So honored to participate in this piece for @reportinglabs.bsky.social.
Israel and Hamas must both abide by the ceasefire, and the hostages must be released without delay. It is imperative that both sides commit to a future where peace, prosperity, and a two-state solution are more than just empty promises. (3/3)
We still have a long way to go. There’s no guarantee the ceasefire will hold. There is immense work to be done, and the international community must follow through on a commitment to peace. But it’s a promising development—and a hopeful one. (2/3)
After two years of unfathomable bloodshed, I’m relieved a ceasefire has been reached.
From the heinous attacks of October 7, to the unconscionable collective punishment of the Palestinians, to the countless lives brutally snuffed out by bullets and bombs, the human toll has been devastating. (1/3)
One of the most deceptive Republican myths about the shutdown: We don’t need to act on health care right now, because the ACA tax credits don’t expire until 12/31.
FACT: People are already receiving notices that their premiums will skyrocket (by more than 93% in ME on average).
This is a crisis.
HUGE thanks to everyone who tuned in to my town hall with AARP Maine! The questions were so thoughtful.
Social Security and Medicare are lifelines for hundreds of thousands of Mainers. I will do everything in my power to protect these vital programs—for today’s seniors, and for future generations.
