Their continued weaponization of hunger is grotesque. It's lawless, it's cruel, and it targets the most vulnerable among us.
It’s also patently *ILLEGAL* to withhold SNAP benefits.
My @houseagdems.bsky.social colleagues and I will fight this illegal power grab every step of the way.

Rather than confront the growing hunger crisis, the Admin is hellbent on destroying a program 42 million Americans rely on.
They want to withhold SNAP funds from states that won't hand over sensitive info—data they want for immigration enforcement, despite a court order blocking that demand.
Be safe, don’t drive unless you have to, and remember all the people out plowing the roads, keeping the power on, and helping their fellow Mainers.
I hope everyone is staying safe—and finding a little magic in today’s winter wonderland.
If you’re out enjoying it, I’d love to see your photos!
There’s something about the first big snowfall. Seeing how excited the grandkids get (especially when school’s cancelled!). The way the snow clings to the leafless trees.
It’s one of my favorite times of the year. I just wish I could be up in Maine to enjoy it. Nothing but rain down here in D.C.!
Congress needs a full accounting of who ordered what, under what authority, and why.
Hegseth should be prepared to answer—under oath—for the decisions he made and the lives they ended.
If Hegseth truly issued an order to "kill everybody," that is a grave violation of U.S. and international law that rises to the level of a war crime.
Despite our repeated requests, members of Congress have received no evidence justifying these strikes—or the Administration’s broader campaign.
So nice to meet you, @rhyanr.bsky.social! Thanks for saying hi!
On my way to DC after a great Thanksgiving home.
We need answers on Trump’s Russia dealings, a real investigation into Hegseth's possible war crimes, and swift action to protect the ACA.
We also have 9 bills to finish to keep the government open. No time for ridiculous Republican distractions.
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m grateful to spend today with friends + family.
I’m also thinking about the many neighbors feeling stress today instead of comfort.
I’m deeply grateful to Good Shepherd Food Bank + orgs across Maine working tirelessly to support families. It truly takes a village.
The Admin should be focused on extending the ACA tax credits and negotiating a fair deal to end the war in Ukraine.
Instead we get the “Secretary of War” cutting ties with the Boy Scouts and threatening to court martial Senator Kelly.
Just more examples of how petty and dangerous these people are.
The shutdown may be over. But it’s important to make clear why we fought—and why the worst, unfortunately, is yet to come.
From cutting heating assistance to refusing to extend the ACA tax credits, Republicans are jeopardizing the health and wellbeing of millions.
My latest for @pressherald.com 👇
The stories we heard today underscore the health care crisis that Republicans have refused to confront.
There’s no excuse for this inaction. I’ll keep fighting to secure these tax credits because no Mainer should lose coverage or face financial ruin because Republicans in Congress refused to act.
Today, Governor Mills and I heard directly from Mainers whose lives will be upended if ACA premium tax credits expire.
From small business owners and families to artists and farmers, Mainers are staring down premium hikes that could wipe out their budgets or force them to drop coverage altogether.
In 2023, I was proud to secure a $3M earmark to help MIHC undertake a massive renovation project, which will preserve this landmark and ensure it remains a vibrant cultural hub for generations.
Huge thanks to everyone who came out—and to the wonderful folks at MIHC for their incredible work. (3/3)
To be in that beautiful space with so many amazing people was truly special.
It was especially exciting to meet Geraldine Byrne Nason, Ireland’s Ambassador to the U.S., whose visit was a meaningful moment not just for MIHC, but for communities across Maine that cherish their Irish roots. (2/3)
Last Thursday, I was honored to receive the Claddagh Award from the Maine Irish Heritage Center.
I also had a chance to share a few words about the incredible impact Irish Americans have had on our state—and what those contribution can teach us about embracing today’s immigrant communities. (1/3)
Back in Maine after a whirlwind week in Washington.
The hardworking men and women who serve in the U.S. Coast Guard deserve leaders with moral clarity—people who truly understand what is and isn’t acceptable.
This heinous decision has since been reversed, but let’s be clear: They only backed down because the public found out.
That speaks volumes.
Swastikas and nooses are symbols of racial terror.
A Trump lackey tried to downgrade them to "potentially divisive."
Tell that to the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust.
To the 400,000 U.S. troops who died fighting fascism.
To every Black American who lived under the threat of lynching.
The CIA concluded MBS had Jamal Khashoggi killed and dismembered.
Trump still gave him an audience (and a big gala dinner)—and lashed out at a reporter who dared to ask about the murder.
“Things happen,” he said.
Kudos to Mary Bruce for trying to hold Trump and his murderous allies accountable.
