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.
In these uncertain times, every act of kindness and service makes a difference. And if there’s one thing I know about Mainers, it’s that we take care of one another—especially when times are tough.
As this Administration has made life harder for millions and trampled our Constitution, the most common question I’ve gotten—by far—is, “What can I do to help”?
ServeMaine connects people with volunteer opportunities across our state, making it easy for people to turn their anger into action.
American servicemembers are dead.
Civilians are being killed and displaced.
Energy infrastructure is under attack.
Markets are rattled and oil prices are climbing.
This isn't a goddam game.
When deeply unserious people are put in charge of serious decisions, bad things happen.
STOP. THIS. WAR.
…I’m sorry, what?
We hear incoherent bullshit from Trump every day, but this is just staggering incompetence.
Nearly 10 days into this reckless and unauthorized war, we still have no clear explanation of what the objective is, how long the conflict will last, or what the endgame looks like.
Some advice from a New Englander: do NOT come for our Dunkin.
Plus, we have much bigger things to worry about than “sugary drinks” at coffee chains like Dunkin—like feeding hungry families, getting toxic chemicals out of our environment, and supporting the farmers who grow our food (to name a few).
Sadly, we face a steep uphill battle, as the Trump Administration breaks its MAHA promises and works to protect chemical companies and Big Ag at the expense of our health—and our planet.
Huge thanks to @19thnews.org for spotlighting my work.
Since coming to Congress, I’ve worked hard to channel my passion for organic farming into common-sense policies that support farmers, hold corporations accountable, and ensure that every family has access to nutritious food.
These ideals are in natural alignment with the emerging "MAHA" movement.
But people like Ogles aren’t interested in facts. All they care about is stoking fear and division, scapegoating minorities, and trying to mainstream racism and white supremacy.
They won't win. Not now, not ever. (3/3)
Pluralism ism wasn’t just a byproduct of the American Experiment; it was one of the foundational principles!
~45% of Muslim American adults have a degree, significantly higher than U.S. adults overall.
20% have postgrad degrees—also higher than average.
92% say they’re proud to be American. (2/3)
🧵
Of all the racist things they've said, this is up there.
The Constitution guarantees freedom of religion *and* bans religious tests for office.
Jefferson said “the powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others, whether Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu or Infidel.” (1/3)
As the top House Democrat who oversees EPA funding, one of my highest priorities as we work on the FY27 budget will be to reverse this dangerous trend and undo the profound damage that Trump and DOGE have caused.
We must ensure this vital agency has the resources it needs to fulfill its mission.
EPA lost 24% of its staff in 2025.
The loss of expertise has been devastating—and is already having real impacts.
These cuts aren’t about making government more efficient. They’re about removing oversight and regulations.
The result? A free pass for companies that are poisoning our air and water.
