🚨NEWS: My bipartisan amendment to protect seasonal work visas received unanimous approval in the Homeland Security Appropriations bill.
Seasonal jobs are a huge driver of Maine's economy. H-2B visas help ensure our local businesses have the people power they need to thrive.

The harmful impacts of that decision can’t be measured.
While Republicans continue their cruel crusade against reproductive rights, I'm fighting back with the Reproductive Freedom Caucus, and by supporting the Women’s Health Protection Act to restore the right to abortion nationwide. (2/2)
Three years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade—stripping the rights of tens of millions of women away.
Since then, more than a dozen states have passed total or near-total abortion bans, putting lives at risk and straining the resources of states that are still providing access. (1/2)
By striking Iran without Congress's approval, the President defied the Constitution and put our troops in harm's way.
Congress must consider the War Powers Resolution my colleagues and I put forth, to ensure the President does not abuse his power—and get us involved in another disastrous war. (2/2)
As of right now, it looks like no American troops have been harmed. That’s a huge relief.
The Administration must not use these strikes as justification to further escalate—which would only hinder our ability to reach a diplomatic solution and risk further inflaming hostilities in the region. (1/2)
Trump may joke that he wants Canada to become the 51st state, but we are not laughing. His policies are hurting Mainers and damaging our vital relationship with our Northern neighbors.
🎥: from my chat with @jenrubin.bsky.social a few days ago
New data reveals just how damaging Trump's trade policies, tariffs, and insults are: 85,000 fewer travelers have crossed our Northern border into Maine—an alarming 27.5% drop from last year.
It is imperative that Congress convene as soon as possible to address this crisis, to vote on the bipartisan War Powers Act introduced last week, and to make clear to the President that the United States must not be dragged into another war in the Middle East. (2/2)
The President’s decision to bomb Iran without the authorization of Congress is reckless, unconstitutional, and puts countless lives at risk—including U.S. troops in the region.
No President has the authority to launch a military attack against any country without Congressional authorization. (1/2)
There’s no mincing words here: Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a disaster. The impacts it will have on our states and our communities will be devastating.
Thanks to @jenrubin.bsky.social for having me on!

Stories like Alex’s are powerful reminders of why protecting Medicaid isn’t just policy. It’s personal.
So glad I got a chance to meet Alex and his family in DC last week.
Alex lives with a rare genetic condition that requires 24/7 care. Thanks to Medicaid, his family can ensure he gets the complex medical support he needs to thrive.
As we honor Juneteenth, let us acknowledge not only the power of Black resilience and freedom, but the moral imperative of confronting the wrongs of a not-so-distant past—and righting them once and for all. (4/4)
In the scourge of mass incarceration.
In targeted voter suppression.
In the ever-growing wealth gap.
In health and education disparities.
In environmental injustice.
In so many systemic inequalities that persist to this day. (3/4)
To be sure, our country has made a lot of progress since that day in Galveston, Texas in 1865, when the last enslaved Black Americans finally learned they were freed.
Sadly, the legacy of slavery is not confined to the past. We see its devastating impacts all around us. (2/4)
For some, 160 years ago might feel like ancient history. But for the Black community, and the millions whose ancestors endured the unfathomable traumas of slavery, the origins of Juneteenth are painfully recent. (1/4)
Instead of going after the most dangerous people, ICE has chosen instead to terrorize our communities and sow fear among law-abiding residents.
It’s morally and legally indefensible, erodes trust in government, jeopardizes public safety, and undermines the very values our country holds dear. (3/3)
As someone who has long worked in Congress to fix our broken immigration system and correct the cumbersome work permit authorization process, the reports of workplace sweeps and of people with valid work permits being detained by ICE are particularly disturbing. (2/3)
The Trump Administration has made it abundantly clear that it will stop at nothing to meet its insane deportation goals, even if it means sweeping up immigrants who have taken every step required to live and work here and continue to follow the law—including corrections officers. (1/3)
