Last week I met with more than a dozen of these stakeholders to hear their concerns and perspectives.
USDA + USFS owe Congress and the public real answers before taking another step.
I’ll keep fighting like hell to ensure this reorganization doesn't weaken the Forest Service or leave Maine behind.

The Forest Service is an essential partner in protecting Maine’s forests, supporting our forest economy, and advancing research + innovation.
The Admin is pushing a sweeping reorg with little transparency, little justification, and little regard for the people + regions that rely on USFS expertise.
Mentally preparing for another week in DC.
From the Reflecting Pool to the “deal” with Iran, everything Trump touches turns to shit.
Gardening reminds us that with hard work + patience, you can revive even the most neglected plot.
Looking forward to applying that lesson when we retake Congress!
My dad, Harry Johnson.
The son of Swedish immigrants, he built a career as an accountant and embodied the American dream his parents came here to pursue.
I’m grateful every day for the example he set and the values he passed on to me. ♥️
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, granddads, and father figures across Maine!
Whether you’re out on the water, firing up the grill, working in the garden, or just enjoying a little peace and quiet, I hope today is filled with family, laughter, and appreciation for all you do.
Celebrate. Honor. Acknowledge. Understand.
If we can do that—as individuals, as communities, and as a country—we’ll be that much closer to achieving a more perfect union.
Juneteenth is about more than celebrating liberation.
It’s about honoring resilience.
It’s about acknowledging the trauma and tragedy that millions endured.
It’s about understanding our history—and the significant work that remains to eliminate the scourges of racism and white supremacy forever.
Trump was ordered to remove his name from the Kennedy Center.
He covered the entire sign with a tarp—so no one would see the letters being taken down.
His pettiness is truly pathetic.
I'm proud to introduce this bill with Rep. Luna, because all Americans deserve the same protection from this poison. Our bill cancels paraquat's registration outright.
No more reviews, no more waiting, no more excuses.
Vermont just proved a paraquat ban is possible.
Now Congress must make it national.
This pesticide is already banned in more than 70 countries and linked to Parkinson's disease, yet the EPA has been reviewing its safety since 2022 without finishing the job.
I’m so happy for Dana and his incredible, hardworking team who helped make this well-deserved recognition possible.
Well done!
HUGE congrats to Dana Street on winning this year’s James Beard Award for Outstanding Restauranteur!
Dana's restaurants reflect the very best of Maine: extraordinary food, deep community roots, and real investment in the people, producers, and traditions that make our food scene so special.
Trump trashed the JCPOA, dragged us into a costly and dangerous war, and wants Americans to celebrate a weaker, riskier framework that reportedly includes a $300 BILLION reconstruction fund for Iran, oil export waivers, and unfreezing Iranian assets?
This is an embarrassing mess of his own making.
Trump's so-called “deal” gives Iran major sanctions relief and kicks the hardest questions down the road. And from his own comments, he already seems prepared to pin it on JD Vance if it all goes south.
Some “Art of the Deal.”
The *only* reason Trump tried to stop these projects was to appease his Big Oil donors.
Wind and solar are the cleanest, cheapest, and most sustainable energy sources we have. We should be embracing them—not continuing to subsidize a dirty, dying, and increasingly resource-intensive industry.
Another day, another massive court defeat for Trump—this time over onshore and offshore wind projects in 18 states that the Administration tried to halt.
After a lower court invalidated the Administration’s insane “wind directive,” the Interior Department decided to back down and take the L.
The timing is certainly odd, what with Trump attending a G7 summit where literally *everyone* is mad at him.
Don’t get me wrong: I want to end this war and bring our troops home ASAP. But it sure seems like we’re getting the short end of the stick here.
What a colossal failure of diplomacy.
For what feels like the thousandth time, Trump is once again claiming they have reached a “deal” with Iran.
What does the U.S. get? An open Strait of Hormuz (maybe?)—just like it was *before* Trump’s idiotic decision to start this war.
What does Iran get? $300 billion (reportedly)!
Trump is trying to dismantle the Department of Education. Now he’s targeting the offices that protect students with disabilities and enforce civil rights.
This is illegal, dangerous and cruel. Congress didn't authorize this, and Republicans should stop standing by while Trump guts public education.
Remember a few weeks ago when Republicans voted down an @democrats-appropriations.house.gov amendment that simply said not one dime should be spent on Trump's ballroom?
Well, here we are.
Yet another missed opportunity by Republicans to rein in this president's absurd and out-of-touch spending.
