The most important thing we can do *right now* is extend the premium tax credits, which will help insulate Mainers against these staggering increases.
I’m proud to cosponsor the Health Care Affordability Act, a bill that would permanently lower health care costs for millions of Americans. (3/4)

To make matters worse, tax credits created via the American Rescue Plan—which lowered premiums for 50K Mainers by hundreds of dollars a month—are set to expire.
Then there's the Big Ugly Bill, which will kick thousands of Mainers off Medicaid and cause major financial stress for providers. (2/4)
🧵
Mainers already pay some of the highest health insurance costs in the country.
They’re about to get a whole lot higher. Up to 32% higher for individual and small group plans, according to the Maine Bureau of Insurance.
This is a ticking time bomb for our state—and for the country. (1/4)
THIS.
Every. Word.
Texas Republicans are trying to pull off one of the most egregious gerrymanders in history, drawing themselves *5* new House seats—on Trump's orders.
They know they’re in trouble. But they’ll do anything to stay in power.
Texas Democrats are taking a stand. We stand with them.
When you can’t fix the economy, blame the statisticians.
When you can’t create jobs, fire the people counting them.
This is straight from the authoritarian playbook: silence truth-tellers, juice the numbers, gaslight the public.
Congress must investigate—before he inflicts more economic damage.
Great to see Balfour Farm of Pittsfield bringing a taste of Maine to the Great American Farmers Market in DC this week! 🧀🐄 #NationalFarmersMarketWeek
With state resources unable to meet the full scope of need, it’s critical that we take a proactive approach to safeguarding Maine’s working waterfronts.
It’s not just about recovering from the last disaster. It’s about preparing for the next one.
*That’s* how we create real climate resilience.
The storms that ravaged Maine 2 years ago caused unprecedented damage to coastal communities. The impacts—on our economy, on lives and livelihoods—were huge.
@senangusking.bsky.social and I introduced a bipartisan bill to provide a 30% tax credit to waterfronts that invest in disaster mitigation.
The Israeli and Palestinian peoples deserve a better future—a future where the hostages are safely home, aid can flow freely into Gaza, attacks on innocent civilians never happen again, and a two-state solution is finally achieved.
We must do our part to help make that future possible.
The international community is stepping up. We cannot remain on the sidelines.
Especially in the face of such unimaginable suffering.
Especially when our allies are standing up for the very values we've long defended: justice, human rights, and the freedom of all people to determine their destiny.
The atrocities happening in Gaza are a clarion call for the world.
It’s time for the U.S. to heed that call.
I’ve long believed a two-state solution is vital to achieving peace. That’s why I joined a growing group of Democrats who are urging the Administration to endorse Palestinian statehood.
As a longtime organic farmer, I’ve seen firsthand the transformative impacts these markets can have. This resolution reaffirms our commitment to honoring and celebrating the importance of farmers markets—and the thousands of farmers, businesses, and communities they support.
In states like Maine, Farmers Markets are more than a fun activity. They’re a big source of income for farmers—and a great way for people to access healthy, affordable, locally-grown food.
That’s why I’m proud to introduce a bipartisan resolution to designate this week National Farmers Market Week.
Thanks to Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, several clean energy and energy efficiency tax credits—for things like solar panels, heat pumps, and insulation—will expire on Jan 1.
These programs help Americans go green AND save green. So why are Republicans so hellbent on stopping them?
Two words: Big Oil.
My office has heard from several Maine employers who say that their legal, work-authorized employees are being targeted for detention.
These are not failures of individuals. They are failures of a system that makes it dangerously easy to jail people who are here lawfully.
It’s flat-out wrong.
When Homeland Security’s own system gives local police the green light to hire someone, then arrests that person without warning, something is seriously broken.
This is deeply troubling, and exposes a broader pattern of this administration using opaque, punitive, and wildly inconsistent tactics.
That’s enough to:
✅ Provide food assistance to 5 million families
✅ Expand Medicaid to 5.7 million children
✅ Give free school lunches to 28.6 million kids
Empowering DOGE was never about government efficiency. It was about Destroying Our Government Entirely—and ripping off the American people.
Remember when Republicans kept bragging about how much “waste, fraud, and abuse” DOGE was finding?
Shocker: It was all a bunch of bullshit!
A report from the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations shows that DOGE has created an estimated $21.7 *billion* in waste.
Not "savings." WASTE.
We call it “freezer camp," but before that day comes, our cows live a good life.
The real problem? Small farmers often have to drive hundreds of miles just to legally process and sell local meat.
The PRIME Act fixes that. It supports local farms, local processors, and food you can trust. 🐄 🥩
Netanyahu’s blockade and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's dangerously mismanaged aid sites are directly contributing to the crisis in Gaza.
I joined @casten.house.gov and 90+ @housedemocrats.bsky.social in demanding an investigation into the unqualified aid org at the center of this disaster.
