What we need is real diplomacy. Instead, we have Trump threatening to steal Iranian oil and the Secretary of Defense saying, “If we need to negotiate with bombs, we’ll negotiate with bombs.”
This isn’t leadership. It’s dangerous bluster—with no coherent plan or strategy behind it. (3/4)

This is dangerous moment for our country, our troops, and the world. Between the devastating bombing of Iran by American and Israeli forces, Israel’s brutal incursion into Lebanon and the West Bank, and escalating tensions across the region, things could very easily spiral out of control. (2/4)
🧵
It’s been 8 days since the House passed its War Powers Resolution, which would require the President to end U.S. military involvement unless explicitly authorized by Congress.
Trump is already doubling down on his reckless and illegal war, with some of the most sweeping attacks to date. (1/4)
You know the hashtag #ETTD? We *cannot* let that happen to the NEH.
Instead of throwing billions at Trump’s pet projects, we must restore these grants and reaffirm our commitment to investing in the kinds of programs that actually strengthen our communities—and drive America’s creative spirit.
Between Trump’s disastrous war, the Republican assault on health care, and rising costs everywhere, these attacks on the NEH haven't gotten enough attention.
To date, the Admin has illegally cancelled more than $100M in grants.
Even worse, Trump's now using the NEH to bankroll his vanity projects.
This is about transparency, accountability and upholding the Constitution. Americans should be able to document what their government is doing—on THEIR streets, in THEIR communities—without fear of retribution.
Republicans rejected it.
Just another green light for Trump’s cruel immigration agenda.
My amendment simply said DHS CANNOT use taxpayer dollars to spy on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights.
In Maine and across the country, ICE + CPB are trying to intimidate observers from documenting their operations—including threats to put people on a “domestic terrorism” list.
"No, I love it. I love the inflation.”
Incredible. He literally does not care.
BTW, we should probably ask a few follow-up questions about these “millions of barrels of Iranian oil."
Ms. Rachel goes to Washington!
So grateful to have such a powerful, compassionate voice helping uplift children’s stories and fight for basic human decency.
Proud to call her a fellow Mainer. 🩷
We need to have a real accounting of how much this Administration’s cruel anti-immigration agenda is costing us.
Republicans’ Homeland funding bill is a disaster, but I'm pleased my amendment is being included. It’ll ensure accountability, transparency + responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
$1,025 per day.
That’s how much it cost to keep Olivia Andre detained in Dilley. Even when it was KNOWN, by court order, that she could't be deported.
Keeping people locked up in these for-profit facilities (often in horrible conditions) is disgusting and inhumane. It's also incredibly expensive.
Plus, Republicans want to give them even MORE money in the FY27 Homeland bill the appropriations committee is marking up tonight.
Meanwhile, Americans are struggling to afford gas, groceries, and health care.
Their priorities are completely out of check.
🚨 House Republicans just voted to give ICE + CBP another $70 BILLION (and that’s on top of the $140 Billion they got in their Big Ugly Bill).
No reforms. No guardrails. No checks on these lawless agencies terrorizing our communities.
Instead of nominating someone even remotely qualified, Trump is doubling down on his main objectives: protect himself, protect his family, and punish his enemies.
Trump's DOJ is the most inept, corrupt, and destructive in American history. Confirming Blanche would only deepen the damage.
He really did it.
Trump nominated his personal criminal defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, to be the next Attorney General of the United States.
This is the same guy who defended Trump in his criminal cases and has already been tied to the botched handling of the Epstein files.
It’s Primary Day in Maine! Make your voice heard and GO VOTE! 🗳️🇺🇸
The biggest winner: Lockheed, which has enjoyed a $43.8 BILLION bonanza since last fall.
No president in history has engaged in such naked corruption. He's looting our Treasury to line his own pockets (and those of his cronies).
Add this to the warehouse of receipts Democrats are keeping on file.
Remember when Trump promised (repeatedly!) that his ballroom would be paid for privately?
That was a lie. He’s since pressured Republicans to use taxpayer dollars. Thankfully, that effort has failed (so far).
Instead, he's giving YOUR money to the very companies bankrolling his gilded fortress!
Huge thanks to EOPA for inviting me to participate—and for the amazing work they’re doing to address the climate crisis, promote environmental justice, and protect public lands.
The Toxic Substances Control Act has played an enormous role in protecting public health + community safety.
Sadly, this critical legislation is under attack.
Earlier this month, I was invited to talk about the TSCA as part of a briefing organized by Elected Officials to Protect the Environment.
