Turning our back on NATO would be a disaster for the world—and a gift to Putin. It's why I'm the cosponsor of the NO NATO for Purchase Act, which prohibits the Admin from acquiring NATO territory.
We simply can't afford to pursue such an aggressive action against our allies at this critical moment.

Trump is threatening to remove *all* U.S. troops from Europe if he doesn’t get his way on Greenland.
Insanity.
Trump has claimed the U.S. is paying for more than half of NATO’s budget. That’s a lie. We pay ~15%.
Our allies helped us create the most successful military alliance in modern history.
The Smithsonian's job is to tell the American story: our triumphs + failures, our progress + contradictions, the people in power and those who fought to make this country better.
The real warning that belongs on this report: "Prepared by people who are terrified of honest American history." (4/4)
Trump is shredding the Constitution. He's corrupting the government. He tried to turn America 250 into a monument to himself.
A president who bulldozed the People's House, tried to hijack the Smithsonian, and wants to rewrite our history has no business lecturing anyone about love of country. (3/4)
Behind the fireworks and flags, this Admin was quietly launching an authoritarian attack on one of America’s most treasured public institutions, bullying the Smithsonian into whitewashing our past and demanding that history be rewritten to flatter the President and his political movement. (2/4)
🧵
Only the Trump Amin would spend America's 250th birthday attacking the Smithsonian for telling the truth about our history.
It's disgusting that the White House timed this 162-page screed for July 4th, when thousands of Americans came to DC expecting a celebration of our nation’s history. (1/4)
Happy 250, America. Here’s to 250 more, and to never giving up on the promise and potential of this extraordinary country—or the people who call it home. 🇺🇸
We’ve come a long way these past 250 years. Not far or fast enough, perhaps, but a long, world-changing way nonetheless.
All of us have a role to play in moving America forward. And *that* is a gift worth celebrating today.
We are bound to disagree about how best to move forward, and what we owe one another as fellow Americans.
But as long as we don’t lose sight of the many things that unite us I wholeheartedly believe that we can achieve a more perfect union.
We have a history that cannot + must not be whitewashed, because loving America means telling the truth about where we have fallen short, learning from it, + continuing the hard work of building a nation that lives up to its highest ideals.
No matter our politics, whatever our background or beliefs, today on America’s 250th birthday, I hope we can all take a moment to reflect on the ideals that have united generations of Americans: freedom, opportunity, a government of, by + for the people, and a steadfast faith in better days to come.
I love fireworks as much as anyone. But this is reckless.
Celebrating America should not come with a public health advisory telling people to stay indoors + wear N95 masks.
There are safer ways to mark this milestone without putting people, wildlife, and the Potomac at risk.
This should be a historic, unifying celebration. Instead, Trump is making everything about himself—while the American people pay the price.
For the second straight week, I’m back in Maine already because of Republican infighting over the SAVE Act.
Despite the heat, there’s no place I’d rather be spending the holiday weekend. Certainly glad to not be in DC for the chaotic mess Trump has somehow turned America 250 celebrations into.
From the beginning, Trump has treated America 250 like his own personal birthday party.
He doesn’t give a shit about honoring our country. All he cares about is putting on a huge, expensive spectacle—and being at the center of the whole thing.
Congress needs to take a hard look at all this.
When DOGE slashed hundreds of millions from NEH, communities saw their plans for America 250 vanish into thin air.
Turns out, Trump redirected millions to his stupid vanity projects.
Even worse, since Congress restored funding to state humanities councils, the Admin has yet to disperse the money.
Drink plenty of water, stay inside or in air conditioning when you can, avoid strenuous outdoor activity, keep windows closed if air quality is poor, and check on your neighbors and loved ones. And never leave children or pets in a parked car, even for a minute.
Stay safe, Maine.
Maine is expecting extreme heat over the next few days, with heat index values reaching dangerous levels.
Extreme heat + poor air quality can be dangerous, especially for kids, older Mainers, people with health conditions, outdoor workers, and pets.
Cooling centers are opening in many communities.
Least surprising breaking news update from the House: Speaker Johnson canceled votes for the week and is sending us all home early for the second straight week.
Republicans cannot govern.
Hey, at least I get to head home to Maine a few days early!
The bad news? SCOTUS:
🔴 Gave the Admin the green light to bully schools + states that refuse to target trans kids.
🔴 Opened the floodgates to even MORE money in our elections.
Rights protected. Rights rolled back. And far too many lives left hanging on the whims of this corrupt + partisan Court.
