Let me be absolutely clear: DHS’s operation "Catch of the Day" does not serve the public interest in any way.
It exists solely to meet anti-immigration quotas.

Trump’s insane post about Greenland was incredibly reckless.
He’s jeopardizing NATO, undoing our centuries-old alliance with Denmark, and risking economic catastrophe—all because of his delusional idea that we need Greenland for “national security.”
He needs to quit acting like an asshole.

I was born in Minnesota. I still have family there. I’m angered and heartbroken by everything that’s happening—and deeply worried about the chaos and violence ICE might bring to Maine.
I asked the experts on the ground in Minneapolis what Mainers need to do to be prepared.

Checking in from Minneapolis with fellow New Englander @balint.house.gov, about to start our briefing with elected officials, lawyers and law enforcement.
What we know so far: The community here is strong. Neighbors are helping neighbors. People are standing up for their rights.
*This* is America.

I know Mainers are on edge and incredibly worried over possible increased ICE operations. I am too.
I’m in Minnesota, where tomorrow, I will attend a briefing to hopefully learn how we can prepare for—and protect our citizens from—any potential federal operations.

We’re hearing reports that DHS could launch increased immigration operations in Maine in the coming days.
I know people are scared. Please know I stand firmly with our immigrant communities.
We will NOT stand by as ICE, CBP, or any other agency terrorizes our communities and abducts our neighbors.

About to head in for the first vote series of the week, but just a few quick thoughts on this nice night outside the Capitol.

Back to DC to fight this out of control Administration.
We're moving forward on impeaching Noem. We’re also looking at how we can check DHS, which is enabling untrained ICE agents to terrorize our communities.
Protests this weekend showed people are standing up. I’m proud to stand with them.

Doug LaMalfa once offered to give me a few empty tequila bottles—so I could return them for deposits in Maine.
I thought he was joking. Then the bottles showed up.
That was Doug: funny, good-natured, and always willing to reach across the aisle.
I’ll miss him. And I know his loved ones will, too.

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!

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.
ENOUGH.

Stephen Miller is one of the most monstrous people in this Administration, full stop. His comments here are truly unhinged.
But when it’s the President of the United States openly threatening to take over A LITERAL NATO ALLY, as he’s done repeatedly—that should alarm every American. (1/4)

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.
I met with owner John Jabar today to talk about recovery, the community support pouring in and how we rebuild this working waterfront stronger.

Cold morning on the Maine coast, headed back to DC. Thanks to our discharge petition, the House will finally vote on extending ACA tax credits that millions rely on for affordable health care.
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.
Congress must vote on a War Powers Resolution ASAP.
