In 2012 Maine became the first state to legalize same-sex marriage by popular vote.
10 years ago today, that right was enshrined nationwide in SCOTUS's landmark Obergefell decision.
This #EqualityDay, let us recommit ourselves to the vital work of building a more just + inclusive future for all 🏳️🌈⚖️

Here in Maine, we love high school basketball. Thousands tune in to their local PBS stations to watch the state tournament. Along with his brother, Ace, Cooper has inspired kids throughout the state—and put Maine on the basketball map like never before.
Keep making Maine proud, Cooper! (2/2)
Huge congrats to Cooper on being the #1 pick in last night’s NBA Draft!
Since his days at Nokomis Regional High School in Newport, Cooper’s talent and determination were undeniable. Now the whole world knows what Mainers have known for years: This kid is the real deal. On *and* off the court. (1/2)
The charges brought against @replamonica.bsky.social were completely outrageous.
She had every right to check on the safety + wellbeing of *her* constituents, at a federal facility in *her* district.
I stand by Rep. McIver—today, tomorrow, and every day, until she gets the justice she deserves.
Maine is home to more than 8,000 asylum-seekers. They are valued members of our communities. This Administration wants to make it easier to kick them out—just so they can meet some made-up quota from Stephen Miller.
Their cruelty and heartlessness are beyond belief. (2/2)
This is sickening.
As part of his ruthless deportation agenda, Trump wants to dismiss asylum claims for *hundreds of thousands* of asylum seekers.
These are people fleeing some of the most horrific situations imaginable. People who followed the rules and filled out the necessary paperwork. (1/2)
Republicans are literally going after the birds and the bees!
As the top Dem on the subcommittee that oversees the agency spearheading these research projects (USGS), I'll do everything I can to ensure funding is protected.
Science should be a bipartisan priority. Not a political football. (2/2)
Pollinators are vanishing at an alarming rate. Our food supply depends on them.
Trump's response? Zero out funding for the top federal lab that studies bees.
He also wants to cancel funding for bird banding—halting more than a century of research in protecting habitats + tracking diseases. (1/2)
We were scheduled to attend a top-secret Iran briefing.
It was abruptly canceled.
Congress has a duty to conduct military oversight. We have questions. We need answers. Especially after it appears Iran’s weapons capacity wasn't actually "obliterated."
This isn't how it’s supposed to work—at all.
🚨NEWS: My bipartisan amendment to protect seasonal work visas received unanimous approval in the Homeland Security Appropriations bill.
Seasonal jobs are a huge driver of Maine's economy. H-2B visas help ensure our local businesses have the people power they need to thrive.
The harmful impacts of that decision can’t be measured.
While Republicans continue their cruel crusade against reproductive rights, I'm fighting back with the Reproductive Freedom Caucus, and by supporting the Women’s Health Protection Act to restore the right to abortion nationwide. (2/2)
Three years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade—stripping the rights of tens of millions of women away.
Since then, more than a dozen states have passed total or near-total abortion bans, putting lives at risk and straining the resources of states that are still providing access. (1/2)
By striking Iran without Congress's approval, the President defied the Constitution and put our troops in harm's way.
Congress must consider the War Powers Resolution my colleagues and I put forth, to ensure the President does not abuse his power—and get us involved in another disastrous war. (2/2)
As of right now, it looks like no American troops have been harmed. That’s a huge relief.
The Administration must not use these strikes as justification to further escalate—which would only hinder our ability to reach a diplomatic solution and risk further inflaming hostilities in the region. (1/2)
Trump may joke that he wants Canada to become the 51st state, but we are not laughing. His policies are hurting Mainers and damaging our vital relationship with our Northern neighbors.
🎥: from my chat with @jenrubin.bsky.social a few days ago
New data reveals just how damaging Trump's trade policies, tariffs, and insults are: 85,000 fewer travelers have crossed our Northern border into Maine—an alarming 27.5% drop from last year.
It is imperative that Congress convene as soon as possible to address this crisis, to vote on the bipartisan War Powers Act introduced last week, and to make clear to the President that the United States must not be dragged into another war in the Middle East. (2/2)
The President’s decision to bomb Iran without the authorization of Congress is reckless, unconstitutional, and puts countless lives at risk—including U.S. troops in the region.
No President has the authority to launch a military attack against any country without Congressional authorization. (1/2)
There’s no mincing words here: Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a disaster. The impacts it will have on our states and our communities will be devastating.
Thanks to @jenrubin.bsky.social for having me on!
