I met with some protestors outside the Dilley ICE facility, where families and children are being held for months on end.
As this proud vet said, this is NOT ok.
It's NOT what we stand for as Americans.
It's NOT how our taxpayer dollars should be spent.
Shut. It. Down.
And release the families!

Here's part of what Olivia wrote in her letter to me:
"I am very scared about the future and about what could happen to my family... But even with all this, I still hold on to one thing: home. And for me, home is Maine."
My colleagues and I will do everything in our power to bring Olivia home.
Just got out of our tour of Dilley.
As always, they tried very hard to cover up the horrible conditions. But you could see how awful it is.
I *did* get to meet with Olivia, a 19-year-old from Maine.
All she wants is to come home, be with her family, and eat ice cream while she watches the sunset.
Trump is like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum. Republicans are the parents who'll give him anything he wants just to shut him up.
It’s no way to run a country—and deeply damaging to our democracy. (3/3)
At a time when families are being crushed by rising costs and the richest Americans are making out like bandits, giving a failing president $1 billion for a ridiculous vanity project—one whose details we still know virtually NOTHING about—is wildly irresponsible. And completely tone deaf. (2/3)
🧵
Senate Republicans just released their Homeland Security budget for the next reconciliation bill.
Not only does it include more than $34 BILLION in additional funding for ICE and CPB; it also sets aside a cool $1 billion for…
…wait for it…
TRUMP’S BALLROOM!
This is absolute insanity. (1/3)
On my way to conduct an oversight visit of Dilley—and to meet with Olivia, a constituent who’s been detained there since November and is facing some very serious health challenges.
My goal is to get Olivia out as soon as possible. Because no one deserves to be ripped from their family like this.
Gun violence is a full-blown public health crisis. Firearms are THE leading cause of death for children and teens in the U.S.
Republicans care more about appeasing gun rights groups (and their twisted interpretation of the 2nd Amendment) than protecting the American people.
It’s utterly shameful.
One under-the-radar story that deserves WAY more attention is the Admin's announcement of 34 new “rules” to de-regulate guns.
They include:
🔴 Reducing the number of gun sales that require a background check
🔴 Making it easier to traffic firearms
🔴 Making it harder to trace guns used in crimes.
Headed to Texas for an oversight visit of Dilley, where Mainer Olivia Andre and many others are being held under horrible conditions.
I have a folder of photos and letters from loved ones to share with Olivia—as well as documentation on our efforts to bring her home.
I hope they lift her spirits.
I urge the Center’s leadership to rethink this decision, honor their contractual commitments, and do right by these workers.
I stand in solidarity with the 35 people whose livelihoods have just been upended, and will do everything in my power to ensure they’re treated with the dignity they deserve.
The Kennedy Center’s decision to fire 35 people—in clear violation of their union contracts—is totally outrageous, alarmingly shortsighted, and needlessly cruel.
These firings are part of a broader pattern of incompetence exhibited by the Center’s leadership since Trump installed himself as Chair.
Huge thanks to @repkimschrier.bsky.social for speaking in support of my bill—and to the committee for helping move it forward!
Last week the Energy + Commerce Committee held a hearing on my bipartisan, bicameral Food Date Labeling Act, which would make food expiration labels less confusing and standardize how companies phrase date labels.
This commonsense change would dramatically reduce food waste AND save families money.
This is outrageous. It’s dangerous. And it will hurt real people, especially those already struggling to access care.
We will not go back.
First the Voting Rights Act. Now this?
Mifepristone is one of the most accessible, safe options women have to get care.
The country is being dragged back *decades* by extremist judges and politicians who think they should control our bodies and our futures.
Fishing and lobstering are central to Maine’s economy. But seafood + aquaculture are often left out of vital USDA programs.
I was proud to support a Farm Bill amendment to make USDA’s Office of Seafood permanent, ensuring fishermen + seafood producers can access the same resources farmers rely on.
ICE and CBP still need major reforms, but rather than negotiate in good faith, Speaker Johnson is now trying to use the budget reconciliation process to push through partisan funding.
I refuse to support ANY measure that gives more money and unchecked authority to these out-of-control agencies.
While I’m relieved the shutdown is over (and without giving another dime to ICE or CPB), it shouldn't have taken this long for Republicans to come to their senses.
For 75 days, this shutdown caused significant disruptions and uncertainty for thousands of federal workers—and the people they serve.
That's why it's imperative that we pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would modernize and restore the Voting Rights Act that has been so eroded by this reactionary Supreme Court. (5/5)
