ICYMI: This week I had the opportunity to sit down with Heather Cox Richardson, a brilliant historian (and a Mainer!), to talk about Trump’s many attacks on the arts and culture, and how Democrats in Congress are pulling every available lever to fight back.
This Administration cannot take taxpayer dollars for body cameras, then fail to equip agents or activate those cameras when people are killed—or dismissively conceal the footage whenever the truth becomes inconvenient.
Mainers deserve answers. Johan's family deserves answers. (4/5)
Furthermore, the public must receive that footage within 72 hours, with only narrow redactions necessary to protect victims, children, or a legitimate investigation. Any delay must be approved and publicly justified by an independent authority, not ICE itself. (4/5)
Every agent participating in an enforcement operation must wear and activate a body camera. Every recording must be preserved. DHS must immediately provide unredacted footage involving deadly force, death, or serious injury to Congress and independent investigators. (3/5)
Congress specifically provided $20 million for the procurement + deployment of body cams for officers. DHS has dragged its feet and offered flimsy excuses for why every agent still isn't equipped with a camera.
Now it claims the authority to decide whether footage will ever be shared at all. (2/5)
🧵
Johan Sebastián Guerrero was killed by ICE nearly a month ago. We still don't have a full accounting of what happened, and questions remain about what recording devices were present and why they weren't used.
ICE deciding whether the public sees evidence of its conduct is indefensible. (1/5)
I will continue fighting to ensure that our rural communities aren’t left behind because of where they live, or because of Congressional Republicans’ policy decisions that put the interests of billionaires and giant corporations ahead of the health and wellbeing of the American people. (3/3)
I appreciate MaineHealth’s commitment to investing in new services, and I understand the staffing challenges it faces. But a 2-year promise to not close more units is cold comfort for many.
Maine needs a real plan for rural maternity care. This decision moves us in the wrong direction. (2/3)
🧵
I’m deeply disappointed by MaineHealth’s decision to close the L+D unit at Lincoln Hospital, and fearful of what it means for Midcoast families.
Maine has lost 10 birthing units in 10 years. This will put more pressure on other hospitals and create unnecessary stress for expecting mothers. (1/3)
To those who say she deserved to be deported for “overstaying her visa”—it can take 10 YEARS or more for asylum cases to be decided.
Also, you can’t renew a non-immigrant visa while your asylum is pending!
Just because our immigration system is broken doesn’t mean we should punish innocent people.
GREAT NEWS!
Debora Kapisha, the Maine Medical Center nurse who was detained by ICE at Logan Airport, has been released from detention and is on her way back to Maine!
Thank you to EVERYONE who stood up, spoke out, and worked so hard to make this happen.
TSA should NOT be helping ICE turn airports into traps.
That's why I signed on to Rep. Tlaib's TSA Data for ICE Act, which would stop TSA from sharing passengers’ sensitive information with ICE.
Debora is one of far too many caught up in ICE’s cruel system. We'll do all we can to bring her home.
Debora Kapisha is a nurse at Maine Medical Center. She came to the U.S. from Zambia and is authorized to work here.
Last week, ICE detained her at Logan—part of a recent surge in airport arrests.
Debora couldn't be further from "the worst of the worst." She's dedicated her life to serving others.
Not only would this weaken due process; it would make it harder for PNS to recruit and retain skilled workers, jeopardizing our national security.
Our federal workforce should be built on merit, fairness and accountability—not weaker due process protections that make public service less attractive.
The Office of Personnel Management + Merit Systems Protection Board are proposing a rule that would weaken civil service protections—including for more than 8,000 workers at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNS).
Sen. King and I joined the NH delegation in calling on OPM + MSPB to rescind this rule.
Coming from the most divisive Administration in history, that’s pretty rich.
Understanding history isn’t about cherry-picking the good things and ignoring everything else. It’s about telling the truth—even when that truth is painful or inconvenient.
What Trump did to the Kennedy Center—slapping his name on it, throwing it into chaos—is a preview of what he's trying to do with the Smithsonian.
It's about control. He wants to turn these institutions into propaganda machines, rewriting history and erasing anything he thinks is “too divisive."
First the Admin made massive cuts to the NPS.
Now Trump is using our parks to bankroll his vanity projects—to the tune of $75 million so far.
The NPS has a project backlog of $24 BILLION. But Trump cares more about building monuments to his ego.
People need HEALTH CARE + FOOD. Not gilded horses!
It'll also worsen the affordability crisis, forcing parents to quit jobs or reduce their hours to care for their kids.
Head start costs $12.4B a year. They've already spent AT LEAST THREE TIMES THAT on Trump’s war!
This isn’t about “efficiency.” It’s about dismantling a popular, proven program.
