Vilifying immigrants has been a pillar of Trump’s political platform since the very beginning. So it’s refreshing to see another foreign leader absolutely school him.
Prime Minister Martin puts it beautifully: If you want your economy to grow (as Ireland’s has), you HAVE to invest in people.

Immigrants contribute $2 TRILLION to the U.S. economy. The idea that removing them will “Make America Great Again” isn’t just evil; it’s categorically stupid.
Immigrants built this country. Trump’s monstrous policies are tearing it apart.
The economic toll of ICE’s recent campaign of terror in Maine is starting to come into focus.
$10-$20 million, according to @mecep.bsky.social.
That includes an estimated $3.4 million hit to retail sales alone.
These are BIG numbers for a small state like Maine.
Trump can’t imagine why other countries won't help him with his reckless war.
It reminds me of Vietnam, when LBJ begged the UK for troops—even suggesting they send “a bagpipe band” for morale.
They refused.
There’s a difference between supporting an ally and blindly following them off a cliff.
What happens when you cozy up to dictators, threaten to invade Greenland, start trade wars with your allies… and then ask them for help with your stupid war?
This is a damning indictment of Trump’s belligerence—and a stark reminder of how badly he's damaged America's credibility.
NO. MORE. WAR.

Crazy week ahead.
Republicans refuse to negotiate on DHS—but have a bill to allow lead bullets for hunting. PRIORITIES!
Meanwhile, the FCC Chair is outrageously threatening to revoke broadcast licenses.
Democrats are demanding accountability—on this insane war, the Epstein files, DHS, all of it.
Every day, this Administration makes a devastating situation worse.
13 American servicemembers have already been killed and now we are learning that thousands more may soon be sent into harm’s way.
NO MORE WAR.
The damage this operation inflicted on Maine was real. Families were afraid to leave their homes. People skipped work, children stayed home from school, and businesses shuttered.
These revelations only strengthen my opposition to funding DHS and reinforce my belief that ICE should be abolished.
These messages, which only came to light through FOIA requests, are deeply disturbing—and a serious betrayal of public trust.
They include veiled threats toward protesters, crude jokes about "shithole countries,” and quips about “pissing off the libs.”
This is the toxic culture DHS has created.
This is horrifying and heartbreaking. It’s impossible to fathom the evil of attempting to murder innocent people in a house of worship.
This kind of hatred and violence must be categorically condemned—ALWAYS.
My thoughts are with Temple Israel and the entire Jewish community on this tragic day.
Communities should be able to protect their schools, parks, waterways, and farmworkers—not have those decisions dictated from Washington to protect chemical companies.
Thank you @repvindman.bsky.social for backing my amendment to strike the pesticide liability shield from the Farm Bill.
My amendment would've simply restored the status quo. The Republican bill does the opposite, imposing a fed mandate that wipes out state and local authority over pesticides rules.
Maine is showing what leadership looks like. The federal government should be doing the same—ensuring PFAS testing is covered by insurance, expanding support for affected communities, and investing in the research needed to better understand and treat long-term exposure.
Maine is leading the way in confronting the PFAS crisis. We want to make sure people are aware of the resources available.
Emerging treatments are showing promise. In some cases, doctors can even reduce PFAS levels in patients.
If you live in an impacted area, talk to your doctor about testing.
One of the DOGE kids was asked about this during a recent deposition.
It did not go well.
The Administration’s assault on arts and humanities funding—which costs a FRACTION of what we’ve already spent bombing Iran—has been truly unhinged.
Their staggering incompetence is just as alarming. (3/3)
What were these grants for?
Building improvements at an Indigenous languages center.
A documentary about Jewish women who were used as slave labor during the Holocaust.
It even flagged a project related to a British general for “promoting inclusivity and diversity in historical research.” (2/3)
🧵
When the Administration instructed DOGE to cancel grants at the National Endowment for the Humanities, DOGE sent *two* employees to do the job.
Their method? Ask ChatGPT “Does the following relate at all to DEI?”
No research. No analysis. Just government by copy-paste—with zero scrutiny. (1/3)
This war in costing $1 billion a day.
Gas prices are skyrocketing.
Global trade is in chaos.
The Administration has no plan to get us out of this crisis, let alone for what comes next.
And now we find out the Pentagon is using AI to help identify targets—and *schools* are on the list.
Insanity.
This is horrifying. And utterly indefensible.
These were schoolchildren. Not enemy combatants. Not “terrorists.” Schoolchildren.
It’s a war crime. Those who perpetrated it must be held accountable.
I'm joining many of my colleagues in calling for an immediate investigation into this atrocity.
