I’m heartbroken by the passing of my good friend and colleague, Gerry Connolly. Gerry and I came to Congress together. He was a fighter, a hard worker, and cared deeply about the people he served.
My thoughts are with his family, his staff, and all who knew and loved him. He will be greatly missed.

The Interior Department is supposed to protect our natural resources and cultural heritage.
Instead, it’s partnered with DOGE to cancel grants, fire employees, and abandon Tribal communities.
@democrats-appropriations.house.gov are calling on Sec. Burgum to uphold the department’s mission.
Time and again, this Administration has shown it’ll go to any length to deport people on a whim. No matter how illegal or inhumane their methods.
Time and again, the courts have told it to follow the law.
Enough.
These charges must be dropped—and the Administration must follow the law. (3/3)
By law, members of Congress are allowed to inspect ICE facilities. It’s the definition of oversight.
We don't need an appointment.
We don't need the President’s approval.
Rep. McIver was protecting her constituents. She was demanding answers. She was doing her job.
We proudly stand by her. (2/3)
The charges brought against Rep. McIver are outrageous.
The Administration is clearly trying to stop House Democrats from exercising one of our fundamental constitutional powers: oversight of executive agencies.
This is a blatant attack on the separation of powers.
It won’t work. (1/3)
I hope this response was a mistake. If not, we are dealing with a fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to protect the health and safety of all Americans.
They are sovereign nations with legal rights that this Administration cannot simply dismiss. If the EPA cannot grasp this basic fact, then we have a much bigger problem on our hands.
To suggest that supporting Tribal health and environmental safety—in this case, by studying PFAS contamination in their ancestral waters—is some kind of ‘radical agenda’ is both offensive and deeply ignorant.
How many times do we have to make clear to this Administration that Tribes are not ‘DEI’?
In our @democrats-appropriations.house.gov EPA hearing last week, Administrator Zeldin acknowledged the importance of these grants and that this funding was already appropriated by Congress.
So, either he was disingenuous with me and our Subcommittee, or he and his agency aren’t on the same page.
Thank you to the team at Goodwill of Northern New England—which oversees several amazing AmeriCorps initiatives that are now in jeopardy—for sharing these stories with us.
Mainers deserve to know the human cost of these reckless cuts. (4/4)
Or the Mainer who drew on her experience living abroad to help New American entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of owning a business—and just had her funding rescinded.
Sadly, we’re likely to hear many similar stories. These cuts are happening across the country. The impacts will be huge. (3/4)
When you start to hear the real human stories, the true costs of this callous decision really start to hit home.
Like the 167 kids from Waldo County—many of whom have experienced poverty—who were able to participate in a wonderful 4H camp, thanks to an AmeriCorps program.
Not anymore. (2/4)
🧵
The Administration hasn’t just proposed eliminating AmeriCorps; it’s taken the first step, abruptly canceling hundreds of millions of dollars in grant funding that supports critical volunteer programs across the country—including many here in Maine. (1/4)
People who say the Republicans' “big beautiful bill” (which includes massive tax cuts for the rich) will add trillions to the federal deficit:
✅ CBO
✅ CRFB
✅ The Joint Committee on Taxation
✅ Countless analysts
People who say it won’t:
🔴 The Trump Administration
Who should we believe?
I’m so saddened to hear the news of President Biden's diagnosis.
I also know what a fighter he is—and what an incredible community he has in his corner.
To the President and his family: You have the love and support of millions behind you. We stand with you, hopeful for a swift and full recovery.
It's also a massive national security threat. Air Force One is essentially an airborne version of The White House. It would cost potentially billions of US taxpayer $ to secure + retrofit the plane so that it meets the rigorous requirements of Air Force One.
Talk about "waste, fraud, and abuse."
The President’s claim that the jet was ‘free’ and therefore no big deal, is as laughable as it is delusional.
Qatar is infamous for its human rights abuses + has known ties to several terrorist groups. At a time when the Administration is alienating allies, this is who they choose to cozy up with?
(He dodged the question, btw.)
Climate change poses an existential threat. We need to take it seriously.
You know who agrees? Administrator Zeldin.
That’s what he claimed in his confirmation hearing, anyway.
But his actions—shutting down climate research, giving free passes to polluters—speak *a lot* louder than his words.
Republicans ended our Ag markup early, cutting off debate on amendments that actually help farmers and families—including mine, which would require USDA to rehire experts Trump fired.
@houseagdems.bsky.social would've happily stayed if it meant making this sad excuse for a bill just a bit better.
