Right around the corner from my District Office, in one of the oldest buildings on the wharf, is a place called King’s Head Pub. There, you’ll find a facsimile mural depicting the burning of Falmouth. When it comes to fighting against tyranny, New Englanders never forget. (6/7)
In the end, the colonies came together and, after years of bloody struggle, won their independence. It took years for Falmouth to rebuild. But its role as a hotbed of resistance and resilience was forever cemented. In the people and political energy of modern Portland, that legacy lives on (5/7)
Word quickly spread through the colonies about the King’s awful assault on civilians. The attack was so shocking that, within weeks, the Continental Congress authorized its own navy. It soon became clear that the war wasn’t just about taxation and representation, but about life and liberty. (4/7)
That fall, the British Navy returned to Falmouth with a fleet of warships. Their message: surrender or else. The townspeople refused. On October 18, British ships bombarded the town. Then they went ashore—and burned down most of the buildings. It was one of the most brutal acts of the war. (3/7)
After the battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775, the conflict quickly escalated. At the time, Falmouth (now Portland) was one of the busiest ports in New England. That summer, local militia fired on a Royal Navy ship trying to enforce the King's blockade. He didn’t appreciate it. (2/7)
Two weeks ago, we saw the largest protests in U.S. history. For those who oppose this Administration’s illegal actions, #NoKings has become a rallying cry. So I thought I’d share a story that highlights the origins of that slogan—and one city’s outsized role in the American Revolution. (1/7)
Threatening to deport someone because you disagree with their policies is grossly un-American—and conjures images of some of the most horrific regimes. I stand with Zohran, my Muslim-American colleagues, and everyone who believes this kind of racism and hatred have no place in our country. Ever.
Mamdani won the Democratic Primary in New York City because he ran a hopeful campaign that connected with people of every race and identity, in every borough, and spoke to the issues they care about—like food and housing costs. That kind of energy and enthusiasm should be celebrated. Not vilified.
The hatred and xenophobia displayed here, from a sitting member of Congress, is absolutely disgusting. Sadly, such racism and bigotry toward Muslim-Americans—including Muslim-American political leaders—is hardly uncommon. Some of my colleagues have endured similar vitriol. It makes my blood boil.
Now more than ever, we need state and local action—legal and otherwise—to combat this Administration’s lawlessness. We need a Congress that’s willing to reclaim its power and hold these people accountable. And we need a Supreme Court that will actually uphold the Constitution. (8/8)
Bottom line: This ruling is a gift to the Administration—and a green light for Trump to sign even more outrageous Executive Orders, knowing the courts won’t be able to keep up and Republicans in Congress will continue letting him go unchallenged. (7/8)
This ruling also has profound implications for Congress. With the Judicial branch forfeiting its own power, it'll be more difficult to keep Trump in check. And when the majority party simply rubber stamps whatever he says, oversight and accountability are gone. We’re seeing that now. (6/8)
If you took high school civics, you probably remember Marbury v. Madison, the landmark 1803 ruling that established “judicial review”—the idea that the courts should have a say in the constitutionality of actions taken by the other branches of government. That’s in serious jeopardy now. (5/8)
Without nationwide injunctions, states or groups must litigate their cases individually. This will inevitably slow the pace of legal challenges and weaken oversight of the Executive branch. tldr: Using the judiciary to push back against this Administration just got a whole lot harder. (4/8)
What it *does* mean is that an injunction issued by a lower court should only apply to the plaintiff(s) in that case. That might sound sensible. But when you have an Administration like this—that churns out illegal and unconstitutional executive orders like a factory—it’s a huge problem. (3/8)
First, it’s important to note that this decision *does not* mean Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship is itself constitutional. (The 14th Amendment clearly states any person born in the United States is, in fact, a citizen.) That fight may well be coming. But we’re not there yet. (2/8)
🧵 Today's SCOTUS decision barring lower courts from issuing nationwide injunctions to block executive actions is truly alarming. The implications—for Congress, the separation of powers, and our democracy—are disastrous. Justice Jackson called it “an existential threat to the rule of law.” (1/8)
I’m proud to join my colleagues in hanging a replica plaque outside my office. Republicans want to forget what happened on January 6. But we never will. The 140 officers who were beaten never will. The families of those who lost their lives never will. And neither will the American people.
It’s a violation of federal law—and an insult to those who put their lives on the line. Today, during an Appropriations markup, Democrats pleaded with our Republican colleagues to adopt an amendment to ensure the plaque finally goes up.   They voted it down. What happened to "Back the Blue"?
🧵 Three years ago, Democrats and Republicans came together to honor the police officers who defended us, the Capitol, and democracy on January 6, passing a bill to create and hang a plaque in the Capitol honoring their bravery.   But Speaker Johnson has refused to allow the plaque to be displayed.
