As the Ranking Member overseeing Interior’s funding, I have serious questions about where this money is coming from, whether it's consistent with existing appropriations law, and how we ensure real accountability for the American people.
Secretary Burgum should be prepared to answer them.

Spending $1 billion of taxpayer money to coerce a private company to abandon offshore wind projects is indefensible. Tying it to a commitment to pour more money into oil + gas development makes it even more outrageous.
The extent to which the Administration is beholden to Big Oil is truly alarming.
At the same time, Trump and Hegseth want another $200 billion for their reckless war.
They’re taking food away from kids and families while pouring more money into a war we shouldn't even be in.
This Administration’s priorities are completely backwards.
Trump’s Big Ugly Bill ripped nearly $200 billion out of SNAP. Families are already feeling it.
Schools in Maine count on SNAP data to help feed kids breakfast and lunch.
This video shows what these cuts really mean: emptier cupboards, more strain on schools, more kids at risk of going hungry.
I am proud to stand in solidarity with the 620+ Bath Marine Draftsmen’s Association members on strike at Bath Iron Works, fighting for fair wages, affordable health care, and retirement security.
There is no BIW without its skilled workforce.
Director Mueller’s life was defined by service to this country. That is the legacy he leaves behind.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to Director Mueller’s family, loved ones, and all those who worked alongside him in service to this country.
Trump's reaction to the passing of Robert Mueller was vile, mean-spirited, and beneath the office he holds.
This is a man who has never understood the meaning of service, sacrifice, or basic human decency.
While this kind of rhetoric has become familiar, that doesn't make it any less appalling.
A special shoutout to the teachers, families, and friends whose support has helped drive and inspire these talented artists.
Creativity without community is like a fire without oxygen. Thank you for giving life to these amazing creators!
All the more reason to FUND THE ARTS IN OUR COMMUNITIES!
I also want to congratulate the other finalists—Lila Abbott (2nd), Nina He (3rd), along with honorable mentions Jaidyn Stultz, Tryntje Johnson, and Jack Landry—for sharing their amazing work.
These young artists are truly gifted, and a testament to Maine’s creative spirit.
Congrats to Gorham High senior Claudette Wesse on winning the 2026 Congressional Art Competition!
Her piece, “Blissful Innocence,” is beautiful—colorful, evocative, brimming with joy. Looking at it, you can’t help but smile.
It'll be on display at the Congressional Art Celebration in DC on 6/25!
Good on the courts for rightly striking down Hegseth’s limit on press access to the Pentagon as unconstitutional.
A free press has never been more important.
Even in hard times, the spirit of Eid—generosity, reflection, hope, community—can empower and inspire.
May that spirit endure. Today, tomorrow, and always.
Eid Mubarak to all who celebrate.
This war is already a catastrophe. Throwing more money at it—enough to give health care to 24 million uninsured Americans—sure as hell isn’t the answer.
I sent out a survey asking Mainers if they support military action in Iran.
More than 10,000 people responded. 81% said they DO NOT support this reckless war.
The Big Ugly Bill pushed the Pentagon’s budget to over a TRILLION. Now they’re asking Congress for another $200 billion.
HELL. NO.
Since Trump took office, energy prices have soared.
The Energy Bills Relief Act would:
✅ Restore clean energy tax credits
✅ Reinstate grant money for renewable projects
✅ Authorize $2.1B to strengthen the grid
✅ Protect consumers from rising costs
This is how we prioritize people over profits!
March Madness… but make it Maine! 🦞🌲🫐
What’s your Final Four? What comes out on top?
Impossible to pick between most of these… but keep an eye out for my picks!
If Republicans are serious about making sure TSA agents and Coast Guard personnel are paid, they should join @housedemocrats.bsky.social in this effort.
I just signed onto @delauro.house.gov's discharge petition to fund the vital parts of DHS, including TSA, FEMA, and Coast Guard.
ICE already got an extra $170 BILLION in the Big Ugly Bill to terrorize communities and build more detention centers. They don’t deserve another dime of taxpayer money.
Many questions remain, including the status of Joel's older sister. My office continues working on their behalf and helping however we can.
My deepest thanks to all who stepped up and spoke out against ICE's cruel treatment of our immigrant neighbors. You exemplify what being a Mainer is all about.
Joel Andre, along with his mother and sister, has finally been released from ICE detention after more than 4 months.
This is a HUGE relief. But the fight isn't over.
I can't fathom what the past few months have been like for them. Reports of the conditions in that detention center are horrific.
