Given all the bullshit going on with this Administration, the Postal Service implementing a new rule change about postmarks might not seem like headline news.
But it’s definitely a big deal.
Under the new rule, even ballots mailed *on* Election Day could be tossed out depending on where you live.

If Trump really believed in “America First,” he’d focus on lowering health care costs and addressing the affordability crisis. Not spending untold billions invading other countries and stealing their resources.
NO WAR.
NO IMPERIAL PRESIDENCY.
NOT NOW. NOT EVER. (4/4)
You know who else thought that way?
Adolf Hitler.
Joseph Stalin.
You can bet his buddy Vladimir Putin supports this thinking, too.
It’s time we acknowledge this sad (and frankly terrifying) reality—and do everything we can to stop him. (3/4)
Invading Greenland wouldn’t just be a flagrant violation of international law; it would likely be the end of NATO, and open the door for Russia to wreak more havoc in Europe.
Trump believes he has the right to control the entire western hemisphere (more specifically, its natural resources). (2/4)
🧵
Stephen Miller is one of the most monstrous people in this Administration, full stop. His comments here are truly unhinged.
But when it’s the President of the United States openly threatening to take over A LITERAL NATO ALLY, as he’s done repeatedly—that should alarm every American. (1/4)
Republicans continue to spew propaganda about J6, attempting to recast the insurrection as a peaceful protest.
But we will NOT let them forget about what really happened; about the horrors we all witnessed; about the brave officers who defended us—and Democracy itself.
We will never forget. (2/2)
Five years ago, more than 2,000 people—whipped into an angry frenzy by Donald Trump—attempted to violently overthrow our government.
They assaulted police officers.
They looted and destroyed.
Some threatened to kill members of Congress (and the VP).
Trump pardoned every single one of them. (1/2)
This is a major win for states and communities fighting to protect people from harmful, cancer-causing chemicals and to hold corporations accountable.
Public health comes before corporate profits, and we’ll stay vigilant to make sure this language doesn’t resurface.
Republicans quietly slipped a rider into the Interior Appropriations bill to shield chemical giants like Bayer from lawsuits and block states from warning about pesticide risks.
Big Chemical spent BIG money lobbying for it.
We fought back—and WON. I got this rider stripped out of the final bill.
Four businesses were destroyed in the post-Christmas fire at Custom House Wharf. Insurance will help some, but for many lobstermen, the impact runs deeper.
I met with owner John Jabar today to talk about recovery, the community support pouring in and how we rebuild this working waterfront stronger.
Cold morning on the Maine coast, headed back to DC. Thanks to our discharge petition, the House will finally vote on extending ACA tax credits that millions rely on for affordable health care.
Meanwhile, the president is focused on taking over Venezuela and Greenland.
Americans want affordable health care, food, and housing. Not another forever war.
Not a good way to start 2026 seeing Trump attack a sovereign nation, capture its leader, and claim the US will “run it.”
How is this any different than Putin invading Ukraine?
It’s a violation of international law AND our Constitution—period.
Congress must vote on a War Powers Resolution ASAP.
Trump said the US will “run” Venezuela and take over its oil assets. He also threatened Cuba, Iran, and others.
There’s always money for war, regime change, and rebuilding another country’s oil industry, but somehow no money to help Americans afford health care, housing, or food.
There it is. Trump just admitted what this was all about: oil.
By bypassing Congress, Trump violated the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution—setting a dangerous precedent for unchecked executive power.
This reckless move risks regional instability, endangers civilians, and further isolates us from our friends and allies.
Maduro is a brutal dictator whose rigged elections, corruption, and human rights abuses deserve international condemnation.
But the President cannot carry out military or paramilitary actions or seize foreign leaders without Congress’s approval.
No authorization was sought.
Trump’s decision to apprehend Nicolás Maduro is a stunning abuse of power and a clear violation of the Constitution and international law. Just weeks ago, his own Cabinet told Congress this wasn’t about regime change.
That was clearly a lie.
Congress appropriated these funds, and the Administration has a legal obligation to distribute them as intended—not impose a nationwide freeze driven by politicized claims rather than clear, evidence-based oversight.
In Maine, CCDF supports thousands of low-income families and helps keep child care providers’ doors open. Even a temporary disruption could mean fewer available slots, higher costs for parents, and even more strain on a workforce that is already stretched thin.
