Everything about today’s summit in Alaska benefited Putin—an indicted war criminal—and did nothing for the people of Ukraine.
Red carpet. Limo ride. Warm welcome.
All on American soil, with no concessions, no peace plan, and not even a promise to meet again.

My letter to President Trump is clear: Hands OFF the Smithsonian.
You don’t get to rewrite America’s past, erase the truth, or turn our museums into propaganda machines.
Proud to have helped secure $1M in federal funding for this incredible project—truly the best $1 million the federal government has ever spent!
The new Grace Innovation Center will give students opportunities to learn traditional skills like boatbuilding and sewing, explore cutting-edge technology like 3D printing and VR career training, and serve as a model for rural communities across the country.
Last night I was honored to join the St. George community to celebrate an extraordinary accomplishment—the creation of the first-of-its-kind, hands-on learning center for kids from K–8th grade.
These aren’t freeloaders. They’re hardworking people facing significant challenges. And Republicans are making their lives harder.
Everyone will feel the impact—whether you or a loved one are at risk of losing coverage, your hospital closes, or your premiums go up.
It's going to take us backwards.
Like the mom who was told her autistic son is no longer eligible for MaineCare—with no explanation. She might have to cut her work hours to stay home.
Or the woman whose hours can vary depending on her employer (and her conditions). She’ll now have to work at least 80 hrs a month, or lose coverage.
Thanks to the Big Ugly Bill, an estimated 90,000 Mainers will be subject to work requirements for MaineCare.
State officials predict that more than 31,000 could lose their coverage—in just the first year.
These might be abstract numbers to some. But the human impacts are as real as it gets.
Rather than accept reality and work with Democrats to pass sensible solutions, Republicans are burying their heads in the sand—while having the gall to demand that Canada “do something.”
The science (and solutions) couldn’t be clearer. It’s the politics (and denial) that are getting in the way.
The Canada wildfires are affecting air quality in several states, including Maine (where we now have our own fires to deal with).
Climate change is making these fires more destructive. The ones that ravaged L.A. caused $200+ billion in economic loss.
This is the scope of devastation we’re facing.
While Republicans close down Social Security offices and lay the groundwork for handing your benefits over to Wall Street, Democrats are fighting for a fairer, stronger, and more sustainable Social Security—and to protect this transformative program for generations to come.
That’s why I’m proud to cosponsor the Protecting and Preserving Social Security Act, which would:
✅ Require that increases in COLA reflect seniors’ spending.
✅ Phase out the cap on contributions to the Trust Fund, so the wealthy pay their fair share.
✅ Ensure the Trust Fund’s long-term solvency.
As we honor the 90th anniversary of Social Security, I can’t help but think of Frances Perkins—a proud Mainer and the program’s chief architect—and how hard she fought to make this ambitious idea a reality.
It's not just a safety net. It’s an economic driver—and a powerful testament to America.
As Ranking Member of the subcommittee that oversees the Smithsonian, I will do everything I can to ensure he doesn’t get away with it—and that these museums have the resources and expertise necessary to maintain public trust and fulfill their missions free of interference from the White House.
The Smithsonian is an American treasure. It tells the story of our country in a way no book or documentary ever could. It aims to tell that story truthfully and completely.
But Trump isn’t interested in truth (or actual history). What he wants is propaganda.
This is what despots and dictators do.
There’s a reason the Kennedy Center is named after JFK: He was a passionate supporter of the arts, and fervently believed in its power to transform lives and amplify America’s creative spirit.
It will always be the Kennedy Center—no matter how badly this President wants to claim it for himself.
First, Trump hints at renaming the Kennedy Center the “Trump/Kennedy Center” on Truth Social. Then he announces he’s *hosting* the Kennedy Center Honors.
Since January, he’s fired the board (and installed himself as Chair) and repeatedly made a mockery of one of our most treasured institutions.
I joined @casten.house.gov and 100+ other Democrats in demanding the EPA reinstate these employees.
Federal workers shouldn’t have to worry about losing their jobs simply for expressing their opinions or concerns.
We need sound science at the EPA. Not political censorship and intimidation.
Back in June, more than 270 EPA employees sent a letter to the EPA sharing their concerns about the Administration’s anti-science (and anti-worker) policies.
At least 139 of them were put on administrative leave.
This is totally outrageous—and a clear violation of their First Amendment rights.
The CBO just released new analysis of the Big Ugly Bill. It confirms what we've long known:
The poorest Americans will suffer while the rich get richer—and millions of people get kicked off their health care and food assistance.
We're about to see the largest transfer of wealth in U.S. history.
