Q: How can we stop Trump from tearing down our democracy?
A: People are deeply concerned, including many who voted for him. He's destroying Congress’s power of the purse and threatening future elections.
We all have a responsibility to speak up—and *I* have a responsibility to keep you informed.

Q: When will the shutdown start impacting Social Security?
A: There should be no interruption to Social Security benefits during the shutdown. But we are concerned about Trump and Republicans wanting to privatize Social Security. Protecting this vital program be a big focus for us moving forward.
Q: When can we expect the House to be back in session?
A: So far, the Speaker has been unwilling to bring us back. We’re ready to negotiate at any time. Our biggest issues are 1) the ACA premium tax credits, and 2) the cancellation of SNAP benefits. Once they’re ready to negotiate, we’ll be there.

Rep. Pingree points finger at R's for weaponizing food benefits open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
What’s happening in Jamaica right now is heartbreaking.
It's my sincere hope that we—as Americans, as a global community—do all we can to help this beautiful country recover.
My thoughts are with the Jamaican people. May their generosity and resilience carry them through the difficult days ahead.
The well has not "run dry."
There is $5 BILLION available right now to ensure hungry seniors, veterans, and families are fed.
Maine is among 25 states suing the Trump Admin. over its cruel + ILLEGAL refusal to fund SNAP.
By ignoring their transfer authority+ illegally failing to utilize the SNAP contingency fund, the Admin is MAKING THE CHOICE to cut food assistance for ~42 million Americans, including 174,000 Mainers
Advocacy groups are trying to bring transparency to what is clearly a cruel, broken system.
No one, regardless of their immigration status, deserves to be hauled away without explanation, transparency, or access to legal counsel.
Anyone who argues otherwise doesn’t understand our constitution.
Like so many of my constituents, I’m deeply alarmed by ICE and CPB’s erratic, violent, and clandestine behavior.
We're doing all we can to help people locate detainees. As the Admin ramps up its brutal deportation agenda, some tools—including ICE’s locator system—have become increasingly opaque.
I'm hosting a Tele-Town Hall TONIGHT, beginning at 6 p.m. EST.
Just follow the link below and fill out the form, and you’ll receive a call when the town hall begins.
As we near the one-month mark of the Republican shutdown, it’s more important than ever that we hear directly from our constituents.
SNAP isn’t the only program at risk because of the Republican shutdown.
134 Head Start programs across 41 states (including Maine) could also lose funding.
If these centers close, kids will go hungry, parents will lose child care, and an essential source of stability will disappear overnight.
Speaker Johnson still refuses to work.
He's terrified of what’s in the Epstein files. So terrified he’s willing to let his constituents go hungry when SNAP benefits run out on 11/1.
Republicans care about one thing: protecting Trump—even as he (literally + figuratively) destroys the White House.
7 years ago today, 11 people were murdered at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. It was the deadliest act of antisemitic violence in American history.
Today we honor the memories of the victims by standing together against antisemitism—and hatred, oppression, and violence in all their forms.
SNAP is one of the most effective tools we have to fight hunger, and the Administration’s neglect means parents skipping meals, kids going to school hungry, and seniors choosing between groceries and medicine.
This manufactured crisis is entirely preventable. (3/3)
Still, this is a band aid for a much larger crisis.
SNAP supports 170,000 Mainers, and the Trump Administration’s refusal to fund it will push hunger to its highest level in nearly a decade.
I’ll say it again: THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP SNAP GOING. They’re just choosing not to. (2/3)
🧵
The new Preble Street Food Security Hub in South Portland will be a lifeline for Mainers—producing up to 2K nutritious meals a day and storing tens of thousands more.
With food insecurity on the rise, this new hub will tackle hunger head on, and be an invaluable resource for our community. (1/3)
When you live in the wealthiest country in the world, feeding people shouldn’t be a political struggle. It should be a basic right.
There’s $5 billion sitting in SNAP reserves right now. The money’s there.
The Administration just decided feeding families matters less than bailing out Argentina.
