EPA must be transparent, science-based, independent, and accountable to the public—not the industries it is supposed to regulate.
We have won this fight before and we must again.

Awful ruling today out of SCOTUS.
After Trump put his finger on the scale, Bayer won what it couldn't get through Congress: a shield from accountability.
If SCOTUS is going to put more weight on EPA’s review process, then Congress + POTUS have a duty to fix the dangerous gap this decision exposes.
You have a chance to make your voice heard too, by submitting a comment at the link below. This is one fight where public pressure really can make a difference.
When we fight back on things like this, we WIN! So spread the word—and tell Vought and Trump to keep their HANDS OFF federal grants! (6/6)
@democrats-appropriations.house.gov and @delauro.house.gov tried to stop this insane rule in its tracks today in committee, but Republicans blocked it.
Let me be clear: we will continue fighting this with everything we’ve got. (5/6)
Federal grants are one of the most effective ways we have of using taxpayer $ to strengthen communities, encourage R+D, and improve lives.
We can't let partisan hacks like Russ Vought usurp Congress's power in service of their own corrupt and twisted agenda. (4/6)
This is just the next phase in their ridiculous crusade to politicize every corner of the government—and punish anyone who doesn't fall in line.
NIH research on HIV prevention? Education projects that help underserved kids? These are the kinds of initiatives that could be under threat. (3/6)
We’ve seen many examples of how petty this Administration can be with federal funding: illegally freezing already-approved grants; cancelling projects for mentioning climate, race, or gender.
Maine has been a target, too, with the Admin attacking programs as basic as giving babies their SS#s. (2/6)
🧵
Russ Vought—a chief architect of Project 2025—wants to give veto power over every federal grant to Trump loyalists (like himself).
This is outrageous. These grants are supposed to be nonpartisan and driven by facts and science. They should NOT be subjected to ideological litmus tests. (1/6)
Even worse, Russ Vought wants to buy ships OVERSEAS in places like Japan and Korea.
It's outrageous.
The Defense bill should make strategic investments in *American* readiness, which includes a skilled (union!) workforce.
Republicans are letting the admin drive the decline of our industrial base.
Republicans want a TRILLION dollars for the Pentagon… but say there's only enough money for *1* additional Bath-built DDG-51 destroyer?
These ships are the backbone of our Navy. How can you claim to support revitalizing U.S. sea power + manufacturing, but refuse to make these critical investments?
Republicans actually tried to tackle affordability. And Trump doesn’t care! He knows he’s unpopular, so he’s doing all he can to rig the midterms.
It won’t work. He’s a failed president, and he’ll keep failing until he starts signing bills that actually help people—like the one he just killed.
The House and Senate passed a bill that would tackle the housing crisis in a real, substantive way.
It cleared the House by a margin of 358-32, and the Senate 85-5.
Needless to say, that RARELY happens.
Now, the president is refusing to sign it until Congress passes his insane SAVE America Act.
Across the country, people are speaking out, standing up, and fighting back to restore the rights this radical Court allowed to be taken away.
We won’t back down. Not now, not ever. (3/3)
Thankfully abortion remains legal and protected in Maine. But it's unfathomable that our kids and grandkids have fewer rights than we did in the 70s.
Overturning Roe was only the beginning. Republicans are attacking medication abortion, emergency abortion care, and reproductive care access. (2/3)
🧵
4 years ago, SCOTUS overturned nearly 50 years of established constitutional protection for bodily autonomy.
The Dobbs decision opened the floodgates to draconian abortion bans across the country.
Today, abortion is banned in 13 states and severely restricted in many more. (1/3)
Trump has spent years alienating our allies, cozying up to dictators, and undermining democratic institutions. The result is a world that trusts America less and worries more about where we’re headed.
That’s a dangerous legacy.
Read the full survey here: www.pewresearch.org/global/2026/...
But this isn’t just about Trump.
The survey found declining confidence in the United States, growing doubts that America is a reliable partner, and rising concerns about the health of our democracy.
A new @pewresearch.org survey of 36 countries found that global confidence in Donald Trump is just 23% — lower than confidence in Vladimir Putin.
Let that sink in.
In the 12 states that've provided data (including Maine), an estimated 730K kids have lost SNAP benefits.
You can only imagine how high that number really is.
The stress and suffering Republicans are causing is reprehensible—all so they can pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
People won’t forget.
Because of Republicans' cruel cuts, 4,000+ Maine kids are no longer getting food assistance.
Even when families qualify for SNAP, the crazy paperwork and slower processing are causing parents to drop out.
Once kids lose SNAP, they often can’t access other resources, including summer meal programs.
