🚨UPDATE🚨: I'm so relieved to hear that DOJ has agreed to give the Maine Resiliency Center the funding they deserve.
Shoutout to @bangordailynews.bsky.social for covering this story yesterday. Their reporting—and the public pressure it created—seems to have really made a difference.

This is just one of countless grants the DOJ is refusing to award. The Administration is failing communities that are counting on these critical resources.
I will do all I can to help ensure MRC and the people of Lewiston get the funding they deserve—so their community can continue to heal. (4/4)
During a hearing in Augusta on state funding for MRC, State Rep. Peggy Rotundo shared some powerful examples of how MRC has supported people in the community.
Like the 7-year-old who was there the night of the shooting and “still struggles with the sound of classmates popping bags of chips.” (3/4)
Back in February, MRC applied for a federal grant to help it continue this critical work. It normally takes a few weeks to receive a response.
The Trump Administration still hasn’t responded.
Without this federal grant, MRC will only have enough money to cover 3 more months of expenses. (2/4)
October 25, 2023 was a day of unspeakable tragedy here in Maine.
For many in the Lewiston-Auburn community, the trauma will never fully subside. That’s what makes organizations like the Maine Resiliency Center so important. They’re not just providing support; they’re helping people heal. (1/4)

The U.S.-Canada relationship is vital to Maine. They’re our biggest trading partner. Their tourists help fuel our economy. They're our friends.
That’s what makes yesterday’s meeting so infuriating. The President treats diplomacy like a lark—and our closest ally like a piece on a chess board.
I implore the Israeli cabinet to set aside its internal politics so the remaining hostages can be brought home, for the wellbeing of Palestinian civilians, and to end these isolationist policies that harm hostages and jeopardize the future of Israel. (6/6)
Using humanitarian aid as a bargaining tool is a flat-out violation of the law. Such tactics play into the hands of terrorists, who use these actions as anti-Israel and US propaganda across the Middle East to recruit and reinvigorate groups like Hezbollah, ISIS, and Iranian-backed Militias. (5/6)
From bakery owners who have been forced to close because flour and cooking gas have been cut off from the blockade.
And from UNICEF aid workers, who are sounding the alarm on the 400,000 children who are even more food- and water-insecure as a result of the Israeli blockade. (4/6)
From hostage families who oppose the government's blockade—which will have an adverse impact on the wellbeing of their loved ones in captivity.
From farmers who’ve had their fields burned and cattle slaughtered for no military purpose other than to starve Palestinians. (3/6)
95 House colleagues and I are calling on Israel to immediately lift the blockade and reimpose the ceasefire, which would ensure all hostages are released.
I've heard heinous stories of the crisis in Gaza. From doctors working in makeshift surgery wards because hospitals have been decimated. (2/6)
Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid into Gaza violates both U.S. and international law.
Since March 2nd, Netanyahu has deliberately and systematically chosen to starve the civilian population inside Gaza in an attempt to force Hamas to release the remaining hostages. (1/6)
In Maine, this could mean disaster for the 400,000 people who rely on MaineCare to cover their medical bills.
All so billionaires like Elon Musk and big corporations can get $4 trillion in tax breaks.
This isn’t governance. It’s a betrayal of the American people. (2/2)
The nonpartisan CBO has weighed in: Under the Republican budget, MILLIONS of Americans will lose their health care.
Their plan is as ruthless as it is reckless, slashing Medicaid spending in states that expanded coverage and hiking premiums for people just above the poverty line (1/2)
Democrats will never back a plan that takes food away from children and families to pay for tax cuts for billionaires like Elon Musk.
We’ll fight this every step of the way. (3/3)
Mainers are already struggling with high food costs. These SNAP cuts will only increase the burden on communities and taxpayers.
If the Administration really wants to “MAHA,” they'll boost SNAP, not slash it.
Huge thanks to FPFP’s Anna Korsen for her insights on what’s at stake for Mainers. (2/3)
As part of their proposed reconciliation bill, Republicans want to cut the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by $230 *billion*.
For a nonprofit like Full Plates Full Potential, which works to address childhood food insecurity here in Maine, the impacts will be devastating. (1/3)
