I’ve been getting a lot of calls over the past few days, and the interesting thing is none of them are about Donald Trump. They’re all about Elon Musk. My constituents, and a majority of this country, put Trump in the White House, not this unelected, weirdo billionaire.

It’s unacceptable that nearly four years after the closure of the West Paris Post Office — and months after signing a new lease — there’s still no concrete reopening plan.
My letter to Postmaster General DeJoy demands answers and, most importantly, resumed services in West Paris.

Ida May Fuller received the first Social Security check 85 years ago today. Since then, the program has helped generations of Americans build a stable future.
Thanks to the bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act, public workers are finally getting equal access to those benefits.
My push for tariffs is based on the consensus that it’ll unleash domestic manufacturing — and my desire to create an economy that’s built *for* American workers.
Thanks for checking in, @semafor.com
Lewiston-Auburn area schools are serving local foods like Maine potatoes and haddock thanks to their partnership with Full Plates, Full Potential and the USDA.
This is place-based politics at work, supporting local agriculture while ensuring good nutrition for students. Win-win.
Congress has worked across party lines to reduce federal spending with the Fiscal Responsibility Act. Trump has a willing partner in Congress to address spending. That, not vague and questionable executive action, is the route he should take. I'll be the first to take his call.
I'm working to track down those answers and ensure congressionally approved funds are sent out the door. Because the reality is simple: Congress controls federal appropriations, not the executive branch.
In question are grants for tribal health care, small business funds for fishermen, farmers, and manufacturers, and even critical services Mainers rely on, such as SNAP and LIHEAP. That said, the vagueness of the president's order means there are more questions than answers.
🧵My office has been fielding calls all day from Mainers concerned about the president’s freeze on federal assistance & grants that were approved by Congress and awarded to Maine organizations and businesses. I share their concern, and the president should release those funds.
Very grateful to Maine Adaptive Sports & Recreation for their devoted, compassionate work supporting disabled Maine veterans and their families.
This is an inspiring mission and I was honored to see it in action firsthand.
Progressive Conservatism is about rejecting partisanship and recognizing that not all our views fit neatly on an imaginary left-wing/right-wing spectrum.
Embracing it is key to healing our fractured politics:

Protecting the resources of LMA1 from development will preserve our way of life, local economies and communities.
President Trump’s recent Executive Order provides some help, but we need a more permanent solution that keeps windfarms out — regardless of who's in the White House.
While the Legislature has enacted a ban on offshore wind development in state-controlled waters, Mainers harvest more than 20 million pounds of lobster from federal waters each year — a haul threatened by the development of windfarms in LMA1.
🧵 Maine’s fishermen deserve to know that waters critical to our historic, high-value industry are protected — not by promises, but by federal law. So I've introduced bipartisan legislation to ban offshore wind in Lobster Management Area 1.
At a time when we should be lowering prescription drug costs, this order by President Trump closes the door to $2 generics and cuts the ACA enrollment window for uninsured Americans.
That’s a move in the wrong direction.
The American people — and Congress itself — cannot stop until that basic human right is restored. It's why I'll vote against the House majority's latest attack on reproductive freedoms this week when H.R. 21 is brought to the floor. 2/2
An essential part of freedom is control over your own body, and women's reproductive rights are inseparable from that.
Roe v. Wade’s affirmation of such 52 years ago was not only the correct legal decision but one that upheld the moral dignity of personal autonomy. 1/2
