Protesting in Rockland today with my fellow Mainers, standing in solidarity with the people of Minnesota and all Americans who oppose #ICE and this lawless administration. ENOUGH!

🚨TO CLARIFY:
In Maine, ballots must be received by 8 PM on Election Day, regardless of the postmark.
Apologies for any confusion!
That said, this rule change still raises real concerns for voters—especially seniors and people in rural communities—who are worried about their ballots being counted.

But it’s definitely a big deal.
Under the new rule, even ballots mailed *on* Election Day could be tossed out depending on where you live.

I helped strike language from a key spending bill that would’ve shielded Bayer from legal accountability.
But the fight is far from over. SCOTUS must now weigh in.
Bayer is lobbying hard to stop states from putting warning labels on Roundup.
This isn't about politics. It's about right and wrong.

We had some BIG wins this week, from extending the ACA tax credits to the Senate voting to check Trump on Venezuela.
But the murder of Renee Good is a tragedy we can't allow to fade away.
We MUST hold ICE accountable—and keep fighting to protect the American people from this reckless regime.

It’s been a dark few days, but we’ll take any win we can get—and this one is BIG.
The House just passed @housedemocrats.bsky.social's bill to reinstate ACA tax credits for 3 years!
This alone won't fix our broken health care system. But it will provide much-needed relief for millions of Americans.

After weeks of tough negotiations, @democrats-appropriations.house.gov delivered an Interior and Environment funding bill that protects public lands and the environment, invests in Tribal communities, supports the arts, and rejects billions in cuts proposed by the Admin and House Republicans. (1/3)

Renee Good was murdered by ICE.
The Administration is lying about it.
ICE is terrorizing Minneapolis. Just like they’ve terrorized L.A., Chicago, and hundreds of other communities—including in Maine.
It’s time to impeach Kristi Noem and hold this lawless, violent agency accountable.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
The video is indisputable. ICE murdered Renee Good—the mother of a 6-year-old child—in cold blood.

The news coming out of Minnesota is utterly heartbreaking—and deeply disturbing.
The videos and witness reports are damning: ICE murdered a legal observer.
My thoughts are with the victim’s loved ones—and the entire Minneapolis community.
ICE’s campaign of terror and fear MUST be stopped.

Five years ago, more than 2,000 people—whipped into an angry frenzy by Donald Trump—attempted to violently overthrow our government.
They assaulted police officers.
They looted and destroyed.
Some threatened to kill members of Congress (and the VP).
Trump pardoned every single one of them. (1/2)

Four businesses were destroyed in the post-Christmas fire at Custom House Wharf. Insurance will help some, but for many lobstermen, the impact runs deeper.

Meanwhile, the president is focused on taking over Venezuela and Greenland.

Not a good way to start 2026 seeing Trump attack a sovereign nation, capture its leader, and claim the US will “run it.”
How is this any different than Putin invading Ukraine?
It’s a violation of international law AND our Constitution—period.

Trump said the US will “run” Venezuela and take over its oil assets. He also threatened Cuba, Iran, and others.
There’s always money for war, regime change, and rebuilding another country’s oil industry, but somehow no money to help Americans afford health care, housing, or food.
