Thanks to Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, several clean energy and energy efficiency tax credits—for things like solar panels, heat pumps, and insulation—will expire on Jan 1.
These programs help Americans go green AND save green. So why are Republicans so hellbent on stopping them?
Two words: Big Oil.

My office has heard from several Maine employers who say that their legal, work-authorized employees are being targeted for detention.
These are not failures of individuals. They are failures of a system that makes it dangerously easy to jail people who are here lawfully.
It’s flat-out wrong.
When Homeland Security’s own system gives local police the green light to hire someone, then arrests that person without warning, something is seriously broken.
This is deeply troubling, and exposes a broader pattern of this administration using opaque, punitive, and wildly inconsistent tactics.
That’s enough to:
✅ Provide food assistance to 5 million families
✅ Expand Medicaid to 5.7 million children
✅ Give free school lunches to 28.6 million kids
Empowering DOGE was never about government efficiency. It was about Destroying Our Government Entirely—and ripping off the American people.
Remember when Republicans kept bragging about how much “waste, fraud, and abuse” DOGE was finding?
Shocker: It was all a bunch of bullshit!
A report from the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations shows that DOGE has created an estimated $21.7 *billion* in waste.
Not "savings." WASTE.
We call it “freezer camp," but before that day comes, our cows live a good life.
The real problem? Small farmers often have to drive hundreds of miles just to legally process and sell local meat.
The PRIME Act fixes that. It supports local farms, local processors, and food you can trust. 🐄 🥩
Netanyahu’s blockade and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's dangerously mismanaged aid sites are directly contributing to the crisis in Gaza.
I joined @casten.house.gov and 90+ @housedemocrats.bsky.social in demanding an investigation into the unqualified aid org at the center of this disaster.
Offices are having to divert staff from processing claims to answering the SSA call line. That means the actual *work* isn’t being done. Which will only lead to more calls.
It's a vicious cycle.
This is what happens when you let an rogue agency like DOGE decide how our government should be run.
Three-hour wait times.
Severe delays in processing.
People literally in tears.
Staff cuts at the SSA are creating chaos across the country—including in Maine.
Demand for SS benefits is surging, and the Administration thinks it’s a good idea to slash SSA staff to the lowest level in 50 years?
Between the Big Ugly Bill and the Epstein circus, some awful stuff is getting lost in the shuffle.
Case in point: DoD will no longer share vital weather data with forecasters.
Just as hurricane season is about to kick off.
This might be the most anti-science Administration in U.S. history.
Last week, I sent out a survey to ~300K Mainers, asking if they support releasing the Epstein files.
96% said "Yes."
You don’t see this kind of consensus on *anything* these days. It’s clearly struck a nerve.
The American people are demanding transparency and accountability.
Release the files.
I cannot stop thinking about Gaza and the unconscionable humanitarian crisis unfolding there.
Children are starving to death.
People are being shot while waiting for aid.
The US is complicit in these atrocities. Not a penny more to Netanyahu.
What we heard from workers and leadership was clear: they need stable funding, a reliable workforce pipeline, and a Congress that has their backs.
Grateful to join my colleagues there today in making sure their voices are heard—and their priorities reflected—in the federal budget.
Portsmouth Naval Shipyard represents the best of public service—skilled, dedicated workers whose work strengthens our national security every day.
Today, @wassermanschultz.house.gov, @repgoodlander.bsky.social and I saw firsthand the dedication + expertise that keep this critical facility running.
More extreme heat, supercharged hurricanes, crop failures, and thousand-year floods already impact millions of Americans every year.
Climate change is an existential threat. Mitigating it will require real, meaningful, and sustained action—and a government that actually believe in science.
Trump and the EPA are trying to make climate denial official U.S. policy—by claiming that climate change poses no threat to public health or the environment.
Greenhouse gases released from human activities are *the* biggest driver of climate change. That’s not opinion. That’s scientific fact.
I commend the citizens of Wells who are exercising their right to peaceful assembly on behalf of their friends and neighbors.
I hope we all can work together to create policies that respect the dignity of every person who calls our state home—while upholding public safety.
People are rightfully alarmed. For months, a group of citizens has been gathering every Saturday to peacefully protest the partnership.
It’s surreal reading about this in the NYT. But it does go to show how, when ordinary citizens make their voices heard, even a small town can make a lot of noise.
For a beach community that relies on foreign workers, the Town of Wells partnering with ICE is proving to have a chilling effect.
If you’re hearing stories about legal workers being swept up in other cities and towns across the country, at what point do you decide that job isn’t worth the risk?
Republicans want to privatize the USPS. This would have disastrous implications, especially for people in rural communities.
I’m proud to have cosponsored several bills that would ensure the USPS *never* goes private, and I remain committed to protecting and strengthening this vital institution.
