🚨BREAKING: Trump's economy.
Inflation climbed to 3.7% in September. Gas prices are up 34% since last year. For far too many families, it’s getting harder to make ends meet.
Trump’s tariffs and disastrous war are driving costs up. His rubber-stamp Republicans have backed him every step of the way.

Republicans seeing today’s inflation news and being forced to confront the consequences of their blind support for Trump’s policies
There’s a reason we haven’t seen a federally sanctioned public execution in this country in nearly 100 years: In a civilized society, human suffering should never be treated as entertainment.
Sadly, this is just one of countless examples of this Administration embracing totalitarian methods.
Mainers are no strangers to harsh winters.
But between the skyrocketing costs of gas and oil and thousands of families being kicked off their health care and food assistance, this one will be brutal.
This looming crisis is the result of choices Republicans made.
My latest for @pressherald.com 👇
🧵
For Wabanaki communities, the return of ancestral lands is helping sustain the art, knowledge, and traditions that connect generations. Artists teaching porcupine quill work. Canoe builders sharing their craft. Elders showing young people how to harvest traditional foods and medicines.
Trump’s disastrous, illegal war in Iran sent fuel prices soaring.
Now, in delusional desperation, he is blaming Zelensky for the consequences.
Lifting sanctions on Russian diesel rewards Putin and sells out Ukraine to clean up the mess HE and Hegseth created in the Middle East.
Timeline cleanse!
Not to be outdone by Fat Bear Week, the folks at Denali National Park held their own contest—for the burliest 6-month-old husky.
While all of us here in Maine were hoping Acadia would prevail, none were a match for Mammoth.
Don’t worry, Acadia. You’re still #1 in our eyes!
The Admin has failed to deliver on 37 of 42 major MAHA promises, according to a new scorecard.
Boosting production of glyphosate.
Backing Bayer in a SCOTUS case over pesticide liability.
Rolling back protections from PFAS.
Allowing factories to pump more mercury into the air.
The list goes on.
After more than 7 months aboard the ISS, NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 mission has safely splashed down in the Pacific.
I’m so relieved that all 4 crew members—including Maine’s own Jessica Meir—are back safe. Jessica continues to make her fellow Mainers proud.
Congrats to the entire crew. Welcome home!
The NY Fed estimates that consumer goods prices would have actually declined without Trump's tariffs.
Instead, his reckless policies made everyday goods MORE expensive.
Economists warned that businesses would simply pass tariff costs on to consumers. Now American families are paying the price.
“To Kill a Mockingbird”
“The Color Purple”
“Of Mice and Men"
“The Handmaid’s Tale”
These are just a few of the books that have been banned in recent years. Many others have come under attack.
In fact, the ALA has identified 150 books that are being threatened by ridiculous censorship efforts.
American families that rely on heating oil are projected to pay ~$600 more to keep their homes warm this winter than last year.
In Maine, which uses more residential heating oil than any other state, the average price of oil recently hit a record $6.02/gallon. That’s an 80% increase over last year.
Long before MAHA, I was fighting for a food system that puts people and farmers first.
But MAHA moms and activists have helped bring these issues into the national spotlight.
A few weeks ago I joined Rep. Massie at the Real Organic Project to talk about some of our wins—and where we go from here.
NBD, just Trump casually suggestion that Iran taking out L.A. or San Diego would be a “small price to pay.”
If Biden or Obama said anything remotely this crazy, Republicans wouldn’t have stopped yelling about it for weeks.
This? Just “Trump being Trump"!
He's demented, delusional, and dangerous.
Today, SCOTUS will hear arguments in a case that will determine whether states + local governments can sue Big Oil for climate change damages.
This is a HUGE case, with enormous implications.
Big Oil thinks federal statute preempts state + local laws. This is a wildly irresponsible interpretation.
Trump is using your tax dollars to run propaganda ads praising himself while his illegal war drives up the cost of gas and heating oil.
Corruption. Warmongering. Self-enrichment.
Republicans in Congress need to grow a spine, rein this president in, and do their jobs.
Enough already.
Thank you to Steve Collins for this thoughtful column.
The stakes of this moment are bigger than any 1 elected official. What matters is that we keep paying attention +turning justified frustration into action.
I’m grateful to the Mainers doing exactly that every day. I’ll keep doing my part, too.
Proud to see Maine lead the way in helping communities address PFAS contamination. It’s a promising development, no doubt.
But here’s my question for EPA Administrator Zeldin: If you’re worried enough about PFAS to applaud this (rightly so!), why aren’t you doing more about it at the federal level?
"The greatest economy in the history of our country by far," he said literally two days ago.
Over and over, we’ve seen DHS agents resort to deadly violence. When we demand to see the body cam footage, we get the same excuses.
NO MORE.
We deserve the truth about why cameras weren’t deployed during these shootings, including the one that took the life of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.
