That’s why we have to stand up, speak out, and push back NOW.
I stand with Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson—and every public official who is fighting to protect our Constitution, our democracy, and the American people from this reckless regime. (3/3)

The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the use of federal forces to execute domestic laws. The whole point was to prevent the president from using troops as a domestic police force!
If Trump gets his way, and he's allowed to call *any* defiance an act of “insurrection,” all bets are off. (2/3)
🧵
Yesterday, Stephen Miller had one of the most terrifying Freudian slips I've ever heard.
He claimed Trump has plenary authority (absolute power)—before cutting himself off.
Today, Trump said Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson should be *jailed*.
This is how authoritarian regimes talk. (1/3)
I get why people are frustrated about our health care system. It’s broken in many ways.
But the claim that undocumented immigrants are getting free health care is simply untrue.
Republicans use this lie to distract from the harsh reality: Families are struggling because of their terrible policies.
Day 7 of the Republican Shutdown.
I'll be joining @c-span.bsky.social's Washington Journal this morning at the top of the hour.
TUNE IN 👇
It’s cruel, it’s petty, it’s illegal, and we will not let them do this to our hardworking federal employees.
Republicans need to negotiate with us on a bill that:
1️⃣ Keeps the government running (and pays people)
2️⃣ Doesn’t force millions of Americans to pay *DOUBLE*—or more—for their health care
On Day 1 of the Republican Shutdown, I requested that my pay be withheld.
~750K federal workers are now working for free. You’d think Republicans would feel bad about that.
Instead, they’re suggesting *not* paying furloughed workers what they’re owed—in violation of a law TRUMP signed in 2019!
... I have questions:
1️⃣ What the hell is a “tariff shelf”?
2️⃣ Does Trump think he can spend tariff money on whatever he wants?
3️⃣ Remind me, who actually pays for these tariffs?
He really doesn’t know how *any* of this works.
Sorry, last thing:
4️⃣ Which shelf are the Epstein files sitting on?
The horrific events of October 7 must never be forgotten.
Today, we mourn for the victims and their loved ones.
We wish for the safe return of all hostages.
And we pray, with every ounce of hope we have, that the unfathomable death and destruction of this war will finally be brought to an end.
From illegal funding cuts to shortsighted tariffs, Trump’s reckless policies are putting the squeeze on Maine farmers.
The ongoing drought is making things worse.
If Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina (and its soybean producers), surely he'll help struggling American farmers, right?
You might be hearing Republicans talk about how they’re just trying to pass a “clean” continuing resolution (C.R.) to keep the government open—and that it’s Democrats who are sabotaging the process.
Please.
There is *nothing* clean about this disaster of a bill.
This myth about giving health care to undocumented immigrants is lazy, cruel, and intentionally inflammatory.
Don’t fall for it. (6/6)
Once again, Republicans are trying to create a ridiculous straw man to distract from the fact that *they’re* the ones who refuse to negotiate—and are apparently more than happy to let millions of Americans lose their coverage (or pay sky-high premiums) if it means giving Trump what he wants. (5/6)
There's a longstanding law that requires hospitals to provide care to *anyone* who shows up in the E.R.
You know who signed it? Ronald Reagan.
It has nothing to do with Medicare or Medicaid. It has everything to do with not letting people die while trying to prove their citizenship. (4/6)
Undocumented immigrants cannot access federal health care programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. It's illegal. Period.
In fact, Republicans are the ones trying to strip health care away from *documented* immigrants—those who are here legally and are playing by the rules. (3/6)
Here’s what Democrats actually want:
1. Extend the ACA premium tax credits. This would provide *enormous* relief to families across the country (including thousands in Maine).
2. Undo the reckless cuts to Medicaid included in the Big Ugly Bill—so 15 million people don’t lose their coverage. (2/6)
🧵
I’ve watched Republicans peddle some serious bullshit over the years.
But saying that Democrats shut down the government just so they can give health care to "illegal aliens" has to be one of the most baseless and deceptive ploys I’ve ever seen. (1/6)
Greenhouse therapy: a little dirt, a lot of thoughts about the Republican Shutdown.
Couldn’t be happier to be home in Maine this weekend. On Monday, we SHOULD be in Washington—but Speaker Johnson is keeping the House locked.
Why? Likely to avoid swearing in Rep. Grijalva, the 218th signer forcing a vote on the Epstein Files.
We owe this to the victims. Disgraceful.
It's official: Speaker Johnson will not bring the House back into session next week.
Mr. Speaker: Do your job!
Come to the table. Help Democrats reopen the government and protect health care.
Swear in Rep. Grijalva.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
