The Home Energy Rebates program helped hundreds of Mainers install heat pumps—dramatically reducing their energy bills.
The Admin froze it.
@wassermanschultz.house.gov offered an amendment stipulating that DOE either release the funds, or come to our committee and explain *why* they remain frozen.

Whenever Barney spoke, whatever the story or anecdote, I knew I was about to learn something—and laugh a whole lot.
I will miss him dearly. My heart goes out to Jim, Barney’s family, his many friends and colleagues, and the countless people whose lives he touched. (4/4)
Barney could be a curmudgeon, no doubt. But he also had an incredible heart—and a kindness that those who knew him will never forget.
After he retired and began spending more time in Maine with his husband Jim, I got a chance to really get to know them both. I will cherish those memories. (3/4)
Barney believed deeply in democracy, social justice, and the ability of government to improve people’s lives.
Whether he was defending civil rights, fighting for consumers, or crafting the landmark Dodd-Frank bill, Barney combined progressive values with a legislative mind unlike any other. (2/4)
🧵
Barney Frank was one of the most brilliant, fearless, and impactful public servants of our time—and someone I was proud to call a friend.
In the years we served together, whenever I was on the House floor and Barney rose to speak, I knew I was about to hear something special. (1/4)
No wonder he’s amending his “deal” for a $1.8 billion slush fund to include guarantees that the IRS drop any current and future tax claims against him and his family.
This is corruption on a historic scale—and a giant middle finger to the American people.
Here’s a picture worth a thousand words—and millions of dollars!
Trump has made more than 3,600 stock trades since January. In several cases, these purchases were followed by remarks in which he encouraged people to invest in those *same* companies.
This is the DEFINITION of insider trading!
I’m continuing to hold Andrew’s loved ones, those recovering, the Robbins Lumber family, the people of Searsmont, and the surrounding communities in my heart—and wishing nothing but the best to all who’ve been affected. (4/4)
Having represented Searsmont and many nearby towns over the years (first in the State Senate, then in Congress), I know how much these citizens care about their communities—and their neighbors.
For as heartbreaking as this tragedy is, that resilience and selflessness will carry them through. (3/4)
My thoughts are also with the 8 firefighters, emergency personnel, and mill workers—including three members of the Robbins family—who continue to recover.
Finally, I want to acknowledge + thank the first responders, community organizations, and firefighters who stepped up in such a huge way. (2/4)
🧵
I want to extend my deepest condolences to the loved ones of Andrew Cross, the fireman who lost his life during last Friday’s tragic fire in Searsmont.
Andrew is a true hero—and someone whose bravery and selflessness will never be forgotten. May his memory forever be a blessing. (1/4)
This is exactly why I’ve fought efforts in Congress to shield pesticide manufacturers from liability and strip states of their ability to regulate chemical use and protect public health.
Rest assured, I’ll be pressing for answers on how USFS is using glyphosate on public lands. (3/3)
This story also reveals that the research used to defend Roundup’s safety was heavily influenced by Monsanto, which made Roundup before Bayer.
Scientists have been warning for years about the potential harms of glyphosate. SCOTUS is now reviewing a case that could shield Bayer from liability. (2/3)
🧵
This is a BOMBSHELL story—and one that makes my blood boil.
To encourage forest regrowth, the USFS is opting for the cheapest solution:
Spraying Roundup—a weedkiller that contains glyphosate, which has been linked to harmful health impacts—on anything that could compete with conifers. (1/3)
As the Ranking Member on the subcommittee that oversees funding for the EPA, I’ll be fighting these new “rules” with everything I've got.
This is bad news.
Really bad.
Trump’s EPA wants to roll back limits on 4 “forever chemicals” in drinking water and give utilities 2 more years to comply with limits on PFOA and PFOS.
This is an absolute betrayal of MAHA—and states like Maine that have led the way on addressing the PFAS crisis.
The more unpopular this Administration gets, the more reckless and corrupt they become. It’s sickening, it’s dangerous, and it should enrage every single American who’s watching their gas and groceries prices skyrocket—while Trump and his buddies make out like bandits.
Trump suing the IRS for $10 billion—literally trying to steal taxpayer money—might’ve been the most corrupt scheme in US history.
He finally dropped that suit. Now, he’s directing DOJ to create a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund.”
Let’s call this what it is: a slush fund for Trump’s cronies.
Trump’s policies are making life increasingly unaffordable. Kicking millions off SNAP benefits will only make things worse.
Why did Republicans do it? To pass enormous tax breaks for billionaires.
They took food away from families so the ultra-rich could get richer.
It’s greed, pure and simple.
Since the Big Ugly Bill, more than 11,000 Mainers have lost SNAP benefits.
That number is growing.
These are moms trying to make ends meet. Veterans, domestic violence survivors, people experiencing homelessness, and older Mainers now being forced through new hoops just to keep food on the table.
