And sending attorneys to comb through exhibits? That’s not oversight. It’s a chilling step toward an authoritarian takeover of America’s most treasured institutions.

Trump wants the Smithsonian to downplay slavery. The president doesn’t have the legal authority or the ethical right to rewrite history.
There is no upside to centuries of forced labor, systemic violence, + stolen freedom. Trying to spin slavery as a positive is white supremacy, plain and simple.
That’s why I’ve introduced the Commitment to Aid Workers Act—to hold perpetrators accountable, protect those on the frontlines, and ensure U.S. support never goes to governments that target humanitarian workers.
We must do more than honor their courage. We must act.
Today, on World Humanitarian Day, the UN reported a grim milestone: a record 383 aid workers were killed in 2024—nearly half in Gaza.
These men and women risk their lives to deliver food, medicine, and hope.
Their murders are a stain on the conscience of the world.
Modern tools like GPS + digital charts are useful, but they must complement—not replace—the visual markers that mariners rely on for safety.
Thanks to everyone who raised their voice. I’ll keep fighting to ensure Maine’s coastal communities are heard.
Trump isn’t trying to “restore honesty.” He’s trying to rig the system. Seniors, service members, rural Mainers, people with disabilities be damned.
His executive order fantasy is illegal, unconstitutional, and straight from the authoritarian playbook.
Mail ballots are safe and secure. Period.
There was zero reason to think Putin would negotiate in good faith, and every indication he would keep playing Trump. This time, face to face.
Congress must stand with Ukraine, pass new sanctions, deliver more aid, + put real pressure on Russia to end the war and bring about a just, lasting peace.
The “great dealmaker” made no deal, no progress, no effort to end the war Putin started. Instead, he normalized a dictator responsible for waging an unprovoked invasion.
Diplomacy—even with adversaries—should aim to end brutal conflicts, not hand out PR victories.
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.
