The mission of the EPA is to protect human health and the environment—not to serve industry.
Sadly, that’s what this Administration is doing: dismantling regulations, letting big polluters run amok, and straight-up ignoring climate change.
They must think EPA stands for Everything Polluters Ask.

The Administration claims that slashing the EPA by 55% will allow it to better focus on its mission of protecting human health and the environment.
Let’s call this what it is: creating an unfunded mandate—and forcing states to pick up the slack.
This isn’t leadership. It’s passing the buck.
🚨 Republicans snuck a provision into their "big beautiful bill" to defund Planned Parenthood.
If they get their way, millions would lose access to health care, including cancer screenings and pregnancy testing.
Every Republican on the committee voted for this.
All so the rich can get richer.
Republicans are at it again, and they're hoping you won’t notice.
Cutting services like SNAP and Medicaid, then dumping the fallout on states.
Your property taxes? They could go through the roof.
Your health care? On the chopping block.
But don’t worry—billionaires are getting their tax breaks.

House Republicans’ new budget bills promise widespread harm to people & communities in every state across the U.S. One way they seek to hide these harmful impacts is by slashing federal funding & then passing the buck to state & local gov’ts to make the toughest choices & cuts.🧵
This shift wouldn’t tackle "waste, fraud, and abuse." But it could very well lead to higher local taxes and cuts to services.
Why are Republicans trying to throw SNAP into a death spiral? Because giving tax cuts to billionaires is more important to them than feeding children and families. (2/2)
As part of their reckless spending bill, Republicans are proposing changes that could slash SNAP funding by $290 billion, threatening food assistance for millions.
They want to offload SNAP costs onto states, forcing them to pick up the tab for a program that's always been federally funded. (1/2)
Next week, when Secretary Burgum testifies before the Appropriations Committee and @democrats-appropriations.house.gov, I expect him to explain why this Administration believes it has the right to undo decades of bipartisan conservation efforts. (2/2)
DOGE has no constitutional power, and absolutely no authority to rescind funding approved by Congress.
That this rogue "agency" can eliminate $26 million in grants from NPS—including two in Maine that sought to amplify Indigenous voices on climate change—is as enraging as it is outrageous. (1/2)
Trump is trying to justify cancelling funding for digital equity by claiming it's "racist" and "unconstitutional."
Irony isn't dead.
We should be expanding programs like the Digital Equity Act, not gutting them.
His vendetta against anything that dares to mention equity is truly insane.
This #MothersDay, I’m proud to stand with my colleagues in the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social to fight for the programs and protections that help Maine moms and families thrive. 💐
They’ve even targeted Title X, the only federal program providing affordable birth control and reproductive health care to low-income moms, cutting off a vital lifeline for Maine women and families.
Trump and his allies have made it clear they want to make motherhood harder—from slashing Medicaid (which covers more than 40% of births nationwide and thousands of families right here in Maine) to gutting SNAP benefits that help parents feed their kids.
Mother’s Day is about more than flowers and cards. It’s about honoring the mothers who make our Maine communities strong—and standing up for the policies they need to thrive.
Happy #MothersDay to all the Maine moms out there! 🌼 ❤️
Today’s kids will face a lot of challenges. But they also have the tools to bring about some truly transformative changes.
As The Who once said, “The kids are alright.”
So let’s empower that potential—here in Maine, and everywhere young people are making a real difference.
Whether you’re a parent or grandparent, a teacher or community leader, or simply a citizen who cares about the future of our country (and our world), it’s *so* important that we not only recognize and celebrate the service and sacrifice of young people, but encourage and amplify it.
There are many, many more stories where these came from. Stories of compassion and creativity. Stories of empowerment and community engagement. Stories that highlight the spirit of leadership and resourcefulness that Maine is known for—and that our kids and grandkids have clearly inherited.
Then there’s Maine’s 2024 recipient of the John Lewis Youth Leadership Award Rosalyn O’Reilly who:
Founded her school’s Civil Rights Team
Serves on a prominent international peace education organization
Participates in a number of food-security initiatives in Maine
Talk about an incredible resume!
In 2019, after reading studies about the impacts of low self esteem in students, two middle-school sisters created inspirational paintings to hang in the girls restroom—featuring messages like, “You’re beautiful.”
Four years later, both were awarded scholarships for their community service.
