“States can’t ban conversion therapy but they can ban gender-affirming care. They can’t regulate ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ but they can ban abortion. This is required by the Constitution. If you say we’re just doing politics you’re responsible for political violence.”
—The U.S. Supreme Court

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

🚨Our poll shows us beating Susan Collins!

I’ve spent the past decade fighting corruption and working to reform our broken political system. I’m ready for the fight that this moment demands and look forward to serving Mainers in the Senate.
