We’ve come a long way these past 250 years. Not far or fast enough, perhaps, but a long, world-changing way nonetheless.
All of us have a role to play in moving America forward. And *that* is a gift worth celebrating today.
We are bound to disagree about how best to move forward, and what we owe one another as fellow Americans.
But as long as we don’t lose sight of the many things that unite us I wholeheartedly believe that we can achieve a more perfect union.
We have a history that cannot + must not be whitewashed, because loving America means telling the truth about where we have fallen short, learning from it, + continuing the hard work of building a nation that lives up to its highest ideals.
No matter our politics, whatever our background or beliefs, today on America’s 250th birthday, I hope we can all take a moment to reflect on the ideals that have united generations of Americans: freedom, opportunity, a government of, by + for the people, and a steadfast faith in better days to come.
I love fireworks as much as anyone. But this is reckless.
Celebrating America should not come with a public health advisory telling people to stay indoors + wear N95 masks.
There are safer ways to mark this milestone without putting people, wildlife, and the Potomac at risk.
This should be a historic, unifying celebration. Instead, Trump is making everything about himself—while the American people pay the price.
For the second straight week, I’m back in Maine already because of Republican infighting over the SAVE Act.
Despite the heat, there’s no place I’d rather be spending the holiday weekend. Certainly glad to not be in DC for the chaotic mess Trump has somehow turned America 250 celebrations into.
From the beginning, Trump has treated America 250 like his own personal birthday party.
He doesn’t give a shit about honoring our country. All he cares about is putting on a huge, expensive spectacle—and being at the center of the whole thing.
Congress needs to take a hard look at all this.
When DOGE slashed hundreds of millions from NEH, communities saw their plans for America 250 vanish into thin air.
Turns out, Trump redirected millions to his stupid vanity projects.
Even worse, since Congress restored funding to state humanities councils, the Admin has yet to disperse the money.
Drink plenty of water, stay inside or in air conditioning when you can, avoid strenuous outdoor activity, keep windows closed if air quality is poor, and check on your neighbors and loved ones. And never leave children or pets in a parked car, even for a minute.
Stay safe, Maine.
Maine is expecting extreme heat over the next few days, with heat index values reaching dangerous levels.
Extreme heat + poor air quality can be dangerous, especially for kids, older Mainers, people with health conditions, outdoor workers, and pets.
Cooling centers are opening in many communities.
Least surprising breaking news update from the House: Speaker Johnson canceled votes for the week and is sending us all home early for the second straight week.
Republicans cannot govern.
Hey, at least I get to head home to Maine a few days early!
The bad news? SCOTUS:
🔴 Gave the Admin the green light to bully schools + states that refuse to target trans kids.
🔴 Opened the floodgates to even MORE money in our elections.
Rights protected. Rights rolled back. And far too many lives left hanging on the whims of this corrupt + partisan Court.
Some big SCOTUS rulings the past two days.
The good news:
✅ Birthright citizenship remains intact.
✅ Mail-in ballots CAN be counted after Election Day (a big blow to Trump’s voter-suppression efforts).
✅ Geofencing warrants are subject to 4th Amendment protections.
No one, especially students, should be used as a political punching bag, and no state should have its federal funding held hostage for treating children with dignity and respect.
Maine will not be intimidated into abandoning its values or its students.
Today’s SCOTUS ruling gives the Admin new license to bully schools + states that refuse to target transgender kids.
Maine has seen these threats firsthand: sham investigations, school nutrition funds frozen, grants threatened, and even Social Security services for families caught in the crossfire.
That four of the justices chose to overlook or flat-out ignore the Constitution’s plain language is deeply troubling, and further proof that this extreme court is in desperate need of reform.
The 14th Amendment of the Constitution could not be clearer. To repeal this statute would require amending the Constitution itself.
I’m relieved that the Supreme Court ruled to uphold 160 years of precedent and to protect the rights of those who are born on U.S. soil.
Big thanks to @nayyeroar.bsky.social for having me on to talk about fast fashion, the awful SCOTUS decision that gives sweeping immunity to pesticide-makers like Bayer, and other news of the day.
