My thoughts are also with the 8 firefighters, emergency personnel, and mill workers—including three members of the Robbins family—who continue to recover.
Finally, I want to acknowledge + thank the first responders, community organizations, and firefighters who stepped up in such a huge way. (2/4)

🧵
I want to extend my deepest condolences to the loved ones of Andrew Cross, the fireman who lost his life during last Friday’s tragic fire in Searsmont.
Andrew is a true hero—and someone whose bravery and selflessness will never be forgotten. May his memory forever be a blessing. (1/4)
This is exactly why I’ve fought efforts in Congress to shield pesticide manufacturers from liability and strip states of their ability to regulate chemical use and protect public health.
Rest assured, I’ll be pressing for answers on how USFS is using glyphosate on public lands. (3/3)
This story also reveals that the research used to defend Roundup’s safety was heavily influenced by Monsanto, which made Roundup before Bayer.
Scientists have been warning for years about the potential harms of glyphosate. SCOTUS is now reviewing a case that could shield Bayer from liability. (2/3)
🧵
This is a BOMBSHELL story—and one that makes my blood boil.
To encourage forest regrowth, the USFS is opting for the cheapest solution:
Spraying Roundup—a weedkiller that contains glyphosate, which has been linked to harmful health impacts—on anything that could compete with conifers. (1/3)
As the Ranking Member on the subcommittee that oversees funding for the EPA, I’ll be fighting these new “rules” with everything I've got.
This is bad news.
Really bad.
Trump’s EPA wants to roll back limits on 4 “forever chemicals” in drinking water and give utilities 2 more years to comply with limits on PFOA and PFOS.
This is an absolute betrayal of MAHA—and states like Maine that have led the way on addressing the PFAS crisis.
The more unpopular this Administration gets, the more reckless and corrupt they become. It’s sickening, it’s dangerous, and it should enrage every single American who’s watching their gas and groceries prices skyrocket—while Trump and his buddies make out like bandits.
Trump suing the IRS for $10 billion—literally trying to steal taxpayer money—might’ve been the most corrupt scheme in US history.
He finally dropped that suit. Now, he’s directing DOJ to create a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund.”
Let’s call this what it is: a slush fund for Trump’s cronies.
Trump’s policies are making life increasingly unaffordable. Kicking millions off SNAP benefits will only make things worse.
Why did Republicans do it? To pass enormous tax breaks for billionaires.
They took food away from families so the ultra-rich could get richer.
It’s greed, pure and simple.
Since the Big Ugly Bill, more than 11,000 Mainers have lost SNAP benefits.
That number is growing.
These are moms trying to make ends meet. Veterans, domestic violence survivors, people experiencing homelessness, and older Mainers now being forced through new hoops just to keep food on the table.
Firefighters and emergency crews put everything on the line for us, and today is a painful reminder of the sacrifices they make.
I’m grateful to the medical teams, mutual aid departments, and volunteers supporting the response and recovery efforts.
I’m heartbroken by the devastating explosion in Searsmont that injured multiple Mainers and took the life of a firefighter who ran into danger to protect others.
My thoughts are with the loved ones of the firefighter who lost their life, the survivors, their families and the brave first responders.
My heart is with the Searsmont community as officials respond to a reported mass casualty incident at Robbins Lumber.
Details are still limited. Please follow updates from local authorities, avoid the area, and keep those impacted and the first responders in your thoughts.
That he delivered his lecture about "waste" and "fraud" while his Admin. is spending $1 billion a day on a war that Americans do not support—to say nothing of the staggering corruption of his own President—is beyond parody.
It’s shameful, it’s dangerous, and it’s beneath the dignity of his office.
Vance’s remarks were a clumsy attempt to distract from his Administration's disastrous policies.
At a time when Mainers are being crushed by rising costs, he used his time and platform to amplify baseless conspiracy theories, spread blatant disinformation, and threaten to defund critical programs.
For every Olivia whose story breaks through, there are countless others still trapped in ICE facilities like Dilley.
This is a place built to incarcerate families and children—using your tax dollars. What I saw there was truly disturbing.
It must be closed for good.
My op-ed in @pressherald.com 👇
Between the crypto scams, the emoluments clause violations, and weaponizing government against his opponents, he’s the most corrupt president in history—by far.
It was never about “MAGA." It was always about enriching himself and other billionaires.
It’ll take years to undo the damage he’s done.
After his tax returns were leaked, Trump sued the Treasury Department for $10 BILLION.
It seemed outrageous at the time. But if there’s one thing we know about this DOJ, they’ll do ANYTHING to make Trump happy.
You want to talk about “waste, fraud, and abuse?” This is all three wrapped into one!
