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)
Within hours of SCOTUS's ruling, red states were already laying the groundwork for new maps that would intentionally dilute minority voting power—either by “packing” these voters together or spreading them as thinly possible into several districts (known as “cracking”). (4/5)
The 1965 Voting Rights Act put a stop to these heinous practices, by prohibiting racial discrimination in voting and establishing strong federal enforcement tools—including Sections 2 and 5, which were meant to safeguard against blatant gerrymandering that would harm Black voters. (3/5)
For nearly a century after the Civil War, states used a variety of blatantly discriminatory tools to suppress Black voting power: literacy tests, poll taxes, grandfather clauses, even outright intimidation and violence. (2/5)
🧵
With their 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais, SCOTUS’s conservative majority dealt a huge blow to the Voting Rights Act. (1/5)
History will remember her as one of the best governors our state has ever had, and her legacy will continue to shape our state for generations.
I want to thank Governor Mills for her leadership, her many accomplishments as Governor, and her unwavering dedication to the people of Maine. (4/4)
Her commitment to addressing the climate crisis has been exceptional—setting ambitious clean energy targets, investing in coastal resilience, modernizing infrastructure, ensuring our state remains on track to meet its emissions-reductions goals—giving other states a visionary model to follow. (3/4)
As the first woman to lead our state, Governor Mills has overseen many remarkable accomplishments: expanding access to health care, investing in education and childcare, providing free school meals, advancing clean-energy initiatives, protecting reproductive freedom, and so much more. (2/4)
🧵
I have deep respect and admiration for Governor Mills, and I’m proud to call her a friend. While I know this decision was a difficult one, I trust her judgment—and know she’s doing what she feels is best for herself, her family, and the people of Maine. (1/4)
WE DID IT 👏🏻
The @repluna.bsky.social Amendment passed and we successfully got the industry-written pesticide liability language OUT of the FARM BILL.
I’ll be clear: This is still a terrible bill. But counting the wins where we can.
While you were sleeping, the House (finally) moved forward with Farm Bill debate.
I told my colleagues loud and clear:
Democrats, Republicans, and citizens across this country agree: Keep the pesticide liability shield language OUT of the Farm Bill!
