Naturalization ceremonies are truly special events. I can’t imagine anything more American for a new citizen to do than registering to vote.
That’s exactly why Trump wants to stop it—and why he’ll do anything he can to suppress voter turnout.
The right to vote should *never* be a partisan issue.

Trump is doing everything he can to rig the midterms (and the next presidential election)—trying to stop mail-in ballots, demanding that red states gerrymander their maps.
Now, he’s directing USCIS to stop voting groups from registering new citizens at naturalization ceremonies.
It's disgusting.
As one farmer said, “We’re feeling pretty kicked around right now.”
Trump and Russ Vought think the Constitution doesn’t apply to them.
This will impact farmers in blue *and* red states. Democrats are fighting to protect Congress’s power of the purse. We need Republicans to join us in that fight.
For nearly 40 years, the SARE program has helped farmers across the country develop new methods and keep their farms going (and growing). It's been a game-changer for many Mainers.
Once again, Trump’s USDA is illegally withholding money already approved by Congress ($48 million worth, this time).
Outsourcing our history to right-wing, for-profit companies like Prager U is a recipe for distortion—and the subjugation of marginalized voices.
We cannot let that happen.
Are you a teacher who uses Smithsonian materials in the classroom? We want to hear from you.
(PingreePress@mail.house.gov)
The Smithsonian is more than a collection of museums. It’s a treasure trove of knowledge—one that schools rely on.
Trump’s propaganda campaign is already having a chilling effect.
This teacher summed it up perfectly:
“We don’t want partisan history. We want history produced by real historians.”
The arts are more than a creative force. They’re an economic driver.
That’s why it’s so important that we fight back against Trump’s assault on the NEA, NEH, Smithsonian, and America’s creative diversity.
Huge thanks to the artists and organizers who made this such a special, galvanizing night.
Last night, I had the honor of attending Creative Portland’s Hear Here concert at the Merrill Auditorium, alongside Gov. Mills and Mayor Dion.
It was an incredible showcase of our state's diverse and dynamic talent—and a powerful reminder of how art can educate, inspire, and open hearts and minds.
ACA premiums could rise by a staggering 23.9%.
Republicans have made it worse by refusing to extend the enhanced premium tax credits, which have been a lifeline for millions of Americans.
I wholeheartedly support *permanently* extending them—and doing all we can to make healthcare more affordable.
This is especially rich coming from Trump—a man who ducked out of serving his country; who convinced millions of voters he was the “peace candidate”; and who prefers dictators like Putin and Kim Jong Un over democratic leaders.
It’s dumb, it’s wrong, and it will only make the world less safe. (4/4)
But resurrecting the “Department of War”—while turning our back on NATO, the U.N., foreign aid, and the whole idea of diplomacy—will only escalate tensions, and put the world at greater risk of catastrophe. (3/4)
For decades our generals have told us that the more we spend on deterrence, diplomacy and foreign aid, the less we need for bullets and bombs.
It hasn’t always worked out that way. Vietnam and Iraq were abject disasters. Our country has plenty of blood on its hands—and much to apologize for. (2/4)
🧵
There’s a reason we changed the name of the Department of War to the Department of Defense back in 1949: After losing more than 500,000 American lives—in the two most devastating catastrophes in human history—we were determined to prevent another one from happening. (1/4)
This is a huge warning sign.
Trump thinks he can make up his own facts. That’s why he fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Now he’s telling us to wait a year for the “real numbers”?
His policies are tanking the economy. And no amount of mathematical gymnastics will change that.
Experts are already sounding the alarm about the impact this will have on future affordable housing developments, especially in rural states like Maine.
If the so-called “Party of the Working Class” wants to stand up for working families, why are they trying to sabotage affordable housing?
Since 1992, the HOME program has helped build or repair 1.3 million affordable homes—including thousands in Maine. It’s strengthened communities, boosted economies, and transformed lives.
In some places, it's been the only way to make more affordable housing available.
Trump wants to eliminate it.
Watching Trump bully his way into controlling the Smithsonian is absolutely infuriating.
Its board includes Republicans, the Chief Justice, and the VP. To think it's "woke" is laughable.
I'm doing everything in my power to ensure he doesn't turn this beloved institution into a propaganda machine.
Given the recent funding cuts to the food and farm sectors (which I'm continuing to fight at every turn), this kind of local cooperation and collaboration is critical—generating investments that can propel this vital sector for years to come.
Whenever I read a story like this, I’m reminded of the incredible creativity and outside-the-box thinking happening every day in our district.
Food Fork Lab is more than just a business incubator. They’re a real community hub—one that’s empowering entrepreneurs and invigorating the local economy.
Their Energy + Water Appropriations bill (which I'm voting against this week) cuts $2+ million in efficiency funds for Maine—just as we're seeing the biggest surge in energy costs anywhere in the country.
Republicans will do anything to appease Big Oil. Even if it means making life harder for you.
