The death, destruction, and suffering endured by the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is unfathomable.
In a matter of days, so many beliefs and ideas were turned upside down.
About the power of science.
About what constitutes just warfare.
About the awful devastation human beings are capable of.

There’s a reason Republicans want to make voting as difficult as possible: to avoid accountability.
As we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the VRA, let us not lose sight of the enormous stakes we face.
We must protect the VRA—and do all we can to ensure *everyone* has a voice in our democracy.
Because of this historic law, our democracy became stronger—and more inclusive.
But the fight is far from over. For years, Republicans have been trying to roll back the VRA: shutting down polling sites, requiring voter ID (a poll tax), purging eligible voters from the rolls—the list goes on.
Before the Voting Rights Act, obstacles to voting were widespread—especially for people of color.
Poll taxes.
Literacy tests.
Intimidation.
Violence.
These weren’t isolated phenomena. They were systemic tools of oppression.
The VRA aimed to put an end to these egregious and racist practices.
Administrator Zeldin must reverse course and stop sabotaging critical investments in our communities.
At a time when electricity prices are rising, it is unconscionable for the EPA to deny access to clean, cheap energy for those who can least afford it.
The Solar for All program was expected to generate $350 million in annual savings for low-income and disadvantaged households—and create 200K jobs.
Republicans—including Trump—ran on the promise of making life more affordable for hardworking Americans.
Their policies are doing exactly the opposite.
If they don’t work with Democrats to do *something* to address this looming disaster, Maine families are going to bear the brunt. (4/4)
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.
