We all want to make America healthier. Supporting regenerative and organic farming can help us achieve that goal.
But as the climate crisis wreaks more havoc on small farms, this administration’s climate denialism and destructive policies risk making “MAHA” nothing more than another empty promise.

But the most alarming development is Trump's insinuation that this could be a kind of test run for similar action in other U.S. cities, including Chicago and L.A.
Threatening to send troops into American cities—simply because you don’t agree with how they're run—is a dangerous abuse of power. (4/4)
Sadly, instead of working with city officials on real solutions, Republicans played politics—using the last continuing resolution to undermine D.C.’s authority and slash its budget by $1 billion.
The Senate has since passed a bill to restore funding, but Speaker Johnson has yet to take it up. (3/4)
Violent crime in D.C. is at a 30-year low. That’s not to say crime isn’t an issue. But militarizing the city in such a sudden and aggressive way isn’t going to solve the problem.
D.C. doesn’t need a federal takeover. It needs more resources, and a Congress that understands that need. (2/4)
🧵
Trump's decision to take over the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and deploy National Guard troops to the streets of our nation’s capital is deeply alarming—and underscores the increasingly authoritarian impulses of this Administration. (1/4)
ICYMI: Trump’s EPA is terminating the Solar for All program, illegally slashing $7 billion in grants across the country—including $62 million that would’ve helped Mainers save hundreds a month on their energy bills.
This money was explicitly authorized by Congress. It must be immediately restored.
The Trump Administration’s move to strip EPA workers of their union rights is illegal and deeply vindictive.
He’s gutting workplace protections to punish public servants and clear the way for deregulation, privatization, and payouts to his donors.
It’s disgraceful.
The citizens of D.C. doesn’t deserve a hostile takeover.
They deserve to govern themselves—and have a voice in our democracy.
They deserve statehood.
#DCStatehood
Remember how American colonists wanted “no taxation without representation”?
That’s *exactly* what D.C.’s 700,000 citizens have to deal with.
Now, Trump—with the backing of Elon Musk—is threatening to send the National Guard to take over the city, without any plan to keep essential services going.
Deqa Dhalac fights tirelessly for her constituents. She’s an amazing leader and a wonderful person. She exemplifies what it means to be a Mainer.
To target an elected official like this—with such hatred, vitriol, and racism—is despicable.
I stand with Rep. Dhalac, who I'm proud to call a friend.
The 14th Amendment is crystal clear on who must be counted in the census: "the whole number of persons in each state.”
Not “all citizens.”
All PERSONS.
From usurping Congress’s power to inventing his own census conditions, Trump seriously thinks he can rewrite the Constitution.
Insanity.
Nuclear nonproliferation is more than a policy debate. It’s a moral responsibility.
Like every great moral endeavor, it’s one that requires vigilance, courage, compassion, and an unwavering belief that we *can* build a better world—and a safer, saner one, too.
If we're willing to work together.
80 years later, that power—that specter of destruction—looms larger than ever.
But so too does the potential for disarmament.
For a real, permanent peace.
I’ve long supported efforts to reduce our nuclear arsenal, oppose new weapons, and work toward a future free from the threat of annihilation.
The death, destruction, and suffering endured by the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is unfathomable.
In a matter of days, so many beliefs and ideas were turned upside down.
About the power of science.
About what constitutes just warfare.
About the awful devastation human beings are capable of.
There’s a reason Republicans want to make voting as difficult as possible: to avoid accountability.
As we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the VRA, let us not lose sight of the enormous stakes we face.
We must protect the VRA—and do all we can to ensure *everyone* has a voice in our democracy.
Because of this historic law, our democracy became stronger—and more inclusive.
But the fight is far from over. For years, Republicans have been trying to roll back the VRA: shutting down polling sites, requiring voter ID (a poll tax), purging eligible voters from the rolls—the list goes on.
Before the Voting Rights Act, obstacles to voting were widespread—especially for people of color.
Poll taxes.
Literacy tests.
Intimidation.
Violence.
These weren’t isolated phenomena. They were systemic tools of oppression.
The VRA aimed to put an end to these egregious and racist practices.
Administrator Zeldin must reverse course and stop sabotaging critical investments in our communities.
At a time when electricity prices are rising, it is unconscionable for the EPA to deny access to clean, cheap energy for those who can least afford it.
The Solar for All program was expected to generate $350 million in annual savings for low-income and disadvantaged households—and create 200K jobs.
Republicans—including Trump—ran on the promise of making life more affordable for hardworking Americans.
Their policies are doing exactly the opposite.
If they don’t work with Democrats to do *something* to address this looming disaster, Maine families are going to bear the brunt. (4/4)
