Cutting hundreds of VA Maine Healthcare System jobs is incredibly shortsighted.
Our state is already facing huge challenges to our health care sector. This will only make things worse.
Maine’s veterans have sacrificed too much to be treated as collateral damage in some half-baked reorganization.

The House will be voting soon on a pair of War Powers resolutions that will reassert Congress’s authority on the use of military force—and not let this reckless Administration get us into another intractable war.
Reiner was a true visionary, a gifted storyteller, and someone whose empathy and humanity shone through in all he did. That’s why films like “Stand By Me” will always resonate—and why Reiner’s voice and vision will never be forgotten.
Reading this beautiful piece by Stephen King—about his friend and fellow artist, Rob Reiner—it’s hard to not get emotional.
King was a little nervous about how his novella would translate to the screen. But when he saw the finished product… well, let’s just say this is more than worth the read.
🚨More chaos in the Republican-led House...
Our discharge petition has the signatures to force the ACA extension to the floor. Speaker Johnson doesn't want to do it.
The good news: Republicans are feeling the pressure. If you have a friend or relative in a red district, tell them to call their Rep!
HUGE NEWS!!!
Things were looking dire, but shockingly, 4 Republicans grew a spine and joined House Democrats in signing a discharge petition to force a vote on extending the ACA tax credits for *three* years.
Speaker Johnson: Bring this to the floor ASAP. Millions of Americans are counting on us.
We just need FOUR Republicans to sign @housedemocrats.bsky.social’s discharge petition that would force a vote on extending the ACA tax credits.
This crisis is preventable—*if* Republicans choose to act!
🚨 NEWS 🚨
Speaker Johnson said today he will NOT put any ACA tax credit extension vote to the floor this week.
This is unconscionable. 20 million people are about to see their premiums double. Millions more will be forced to drop their insurance entirely.
Nothing like a little friendly hallway competition to bring some holiday cheer to Congress.
The Rayburn inflatable showdown is on!
@sarajacobs.house.gov showed up big, but let’s be real… Santa Claws, ChristMOOSE, and the VW Bus Santa are tough to beat. 🎄🦞🫎
Without reliable offshore data, we lose early warnings about conditions that could affect navigation and safety.
As climate change makes the oceans more unstable, funding for NOAA + IOOS is critical. Any attempt to gut them isn't just shortsighted; it’s dangerous—especially for coastal communities.
NOAA's Integrated Ocean Observing System has long enjoyed broad bipartisan support.
Sadly, funding for IOOS has routinely fallen short, forcing it to prioritize systems closer to shore. Now, the Administration wants to eliminate IOOS funding altogether (and reduced NOAA to basically nothing). (1/2)
Reflecting on Rob Reiner’s lasting legacy
Back in DC. Busy and pivotal week ahead.
Millions of families are counting on Congress to protect their health care, and the clock is ticking on ACA premium tax credits.
I’m not convinced Republicans are taking this seriously. House Democrats are pushing to get this done.
Let's take solace in the fact that these words—spoken by Rob himself—are the ones people will actually remember:
“The most important thing is that you be a good person and live by the golden rule.”
May their memories be a blessing to all who knew them, and may their legacies forever inspire. (2/2)
It’s hard to fathom just how disturbing this is.
The Reiners were champions of the arts. They brought immeasurable joy, laughter, and light to the world. They believed deeply in our democracy.
Their lives deserve to be mourned and honored. Instead, Trump makes it about himself. (1/2)
ICYMI: On Friday, the National Trust for Historic Preservation filed a lawsuit against the Administration for demolishing the White House without approvals.
Trump's plans should follow the proper process. Instead he razed an entire wing in a matter of days.
Thank you to the NTHP for fighting this!
In case you missed it, I wrote about Trump's hateful comments and dangerous immigration policies in the
@bangordailynews.bsky.social (in print on Saturday). (3/3)
Immigrants built this country—and helped shape its identity and ideals. To vilify them is to tarnish the very promise of America.
Thank you to everyone who showed up and made their voices heard—and for reminding us all of the warm, welcoming spirit that has long been a hallmark of our state. (2/3)
I was stuck in DC, sadly, but it was amazing to see so many people brave the cold and stand with their Somali neighbors in the wake of Trump's racist comments.
The admin's policies and rhetoric towards immigrant communities are cruel, abhorrent, and antithetical to the story of our nation. (1/3)
Tonight, as you kindle the lights of the menorah, let us all honor the enduring spirit of Maine’s Jewish community; celebrate the courage, generosity, and unity that community has embodied; and commit ourselves to carrying that light forward—always. Chanukah Sameach! 🕎
