Today, Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on Trump’s crypto corruption.
We need answers, and we need them now.
The American people deserve to know if their President is turning his office into his own personal kickback machine.

Let’s be clear about what’s happening here: The President is using the power of his office to enrich himself and his family, offering “meme coins” and other shady crypto ventures to rake in billions in exchange for political favors.
But kids shouldn’t have more than five pencils? Seriously?
We need transparency on how this money would be spent—and assurance it’s not being used to reward loyalty or bankroll pet projects under the guise of cultural investment. (2/2)
The Trump Administration is canceling arts grants, trying to kill the NEA and NEH, and censoring museum exhibits—while quietly pushing a $256M allocation for the Kennedy Center that is *6 times* what Congress normally appropriates.
It’s hard to ignore the red flags here. (1/2)
Instead, on Thursday, we’re voting on a bill that would make Trump's “Gulf of America” name change permanent.
Meanwhile, Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and health care.
But hey, priorities!
But that package is stuck in limbo. Because they realize how wildly unpopular these cuts are, and they don't want to be on the record supporting them.
Cutting funding already appropriated by Congress is illegal. That's why Republicans were planning to put what's called a "rescissions" package on the floor this month—a roundabout way of legitimizing billions of dollars in DOGE cuts.
Trump's complete elimination of the National Endowment for the Arts—coupled with devastating cuts to humanities and library services—exposes an alarming agenda aimed not at saving money, but at exerting cultural control.

This is obviously a huge relief. But the fight is far from over. The Administration continues to illegally withhold funding for several critical programs, and we won’t rest until every dollar is restored.

Trump thinks he can dictate what history and culture Americans access by zeroing out funding for arts and humanities and repurposing it for his personal vanity projects—like a bizarre “Garden of Heroes.”
We’ll fight this budget—and its assault on culture, history, and speech—every step of the way.
The Coast Guard is accepting public comments until 6/13. To provide your input, send an email to D01-SMBDPWPublicComments@uscg.mil. Be sure to reference Project No. 01-25-015.
You can also contact our office to share your opinion on the policy. On an issue like this, your voice is critical. (3/3)
Many constituents have written to express their concerns. One person used this analogy: “Removing buoys because we have GPS is like removing street and highway signs because we have Google Maps.”
Our maritime community is too important to jeopardize their safety just to save a few bucks. (2/3)
This is a *huge* deal for our state. And not in a good way.
The Coast Guard wants to remove or alter more than 150 navigational markers along Maine's coast.
They say using new technologies will “modernize” our navigation systems. But if safety is the top priority, wouldn’t you want both? (1/3)
With this illegal action, and his incessant attacks on media, the President is sending a chilling message: We will silence any voice that questions us.
Public media doesn’t just deserve our support. It demands our defense. (2/2)
$2 a year.
That’s how much Americans pay in taxes for PBS and NPR.
The President just signed an Executive Order to stop *all* federal funding of these public services.
Once again, the Administration is illegally cancelling funding approved by Congress. It’s flagrantly unconstitutional. (1/2)
I’ve met many AmeriCorps volunteers. These are kind, compassionate, dedicated people. They don’t do it for money; they do it because they care.
No Administration in our history has shown more disdain for the public good—or been more hostile to the idea of helping those in need—than this one. (2/2)
🚨 The Trump Administration just cut funding that supports more than 100 AmeriCorps positions in Maine.
These are people who deliver food to those in need. Who help individuals experiencing homelessness. Who maintain hiking trails, test water for toxins, and support children in classrooms. (1/2)
At a time when our country is under attack by a reckless Administration, these values are especially vital.
The more we engage in direct action and demand accountability—both here in Maine and across the country—the more we help shape a future where fairness, decency, and democracy prevail. (2/2)
For more than a century, May Day—also known as International Workers' Day—has been a powerful catalyst for solidarity, justice, and workers’ rights throughout the world.
May Day also has deep cultural roots, symbolizing new beginnings, eternal hope, and the enduring strength of community. (1/2)
Sometimes just reading a headline is enough to make your jaw drop.
In its first 100 days, the Administration took *145* actions attacking environmental + climate policies.
Failing to act on climate change will result in incalculable damage and suffering around the world.
They simply don't care.
