After usurping Governor Newsom’s authority and sending in the National Guard to crush dissent, Trump has escalated even further—deploying U.S. Marines to an American city. This does nothing but provoke more chaos.
This is a blatant abuse of power and a dangerous attempt to inflame tensions.

What’s happening in LA should alarm every American.
Let’s be clear about what prompted these protests: the fact that ICE is targeting workers and families, as opposed to violent criminals, and deporting them with zero due process.
I want to hear from you.
🎥 Upload a short video sharing why public media matters to you. Here are some prompts for inspiration:
“I listen to Maine Public because…”
“PBS helped me/my kids/my students…”
“Without NPR, I wouldn’t know…”
Your story will help us fight back.

ICYMI: This week, the House is expected to vote on what's called a "rescissions" bill, which would defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. From emergency alerts and local news to children's programming and high school sports coverage, public media is so important to our communities.
It is a true shame that when we could be genuinely celebrating 250 years of courage, honor, and duty, the stain of Trump’s selfishness will overshadow all else.
For $45 million dollars we could fund some of these cut programs AND celebrate the Army’s 250th.
For the cost of moving tanks back to Texas, we could fund assistance that’s being cut to veterans who want to open a small businesses. For the cost of moving and housing 2,000 troops from across the country, we could fund veterans housing.
For $45 million dollars, the cost of this parade, we could invest in programs that would help each of these soldiers in their transition to the civilian world. For the cost of moving tanks from Texas to DC, we could fund the entire Produce Prescriptions program for veterans to eat healthy.
This week @democrats-appropriations.house.gov mark up the Veterans Affairs funding bill for FY26. The proposed Republican bill cuts funding across the VA and would have a major impact on our veterans communities.
But the President has chosen to parade these steadfast warfighters as a personal birthday gift, making a mockery of the Army’s 250 yrs of service and sacrifice. The once “Arsenal of Democracy” now rolls down Independence Ave, imitating the very forces it was built to stand against: authoritarianism.
Welcome to Moscow … I mean Washington DC!
There are a lot of ways to celebrate the Army’s birthday. For 250 years soldiers have played one of the most important roles in defending our democracy, protecting our freedoms, and fighting tyranny on behalf of the American people.

We won’t let partisan attacks gut this critical agency. I’m fighting in Congress to protect NOAA and defend the oceans we all depend on. 🌊🦞
In small island towns like North Haven—where the ferry is our commute and the ocean is our economy—NOAA’s work isn’t abstract. It’s about whether people can fish tomorrow. Whether storms are accurately forecasted. Whether our way of life survives.
This week, I stood with NOAA employees to push back against the Trump Administration’s dangerous assault on science, data, and the very agency that helps sustain our marine ecosystems and coastal communities.
Today on #WorldOceansDay, I’m thinking about Maine's lobster and fishermen, and the many coastal communities that depend on healthy oceans and science.
These are just a few of the stories that showcase the spirit of inclusivity that's become hallmarks of our great state.
This Pride Month, let’s celebrate the courage and creativity of those working to build a more just and welcoming world for the LGBTQIA+ community—right here at home. (8/8)
One of the participants wrote this:
“June, finally here. Everyone celebrates the end of school, but we have more to celebrate. It’s our month, our glorious month of joy.”
What a wonderful sentiment—and a testament to what’s possible when we give people the space to express themselves. (7/8)
Even in relatively populated areas, finding community isn’t always easy—especially for LGBTQIA+ young people.
In Cumberland, the town’s youth and teen librarian, Jennifer Benham, organized a Pride Month poetry slam to give kids an outlet to express themselves. (6/8)
Living in relatively remote areas can be incredibly challenging for LGBTQIA+ people. That’s what makes organizations like Pride Aroostook so special. Through things like film festivals, luncheons, and other gatherings, this nonprofit has become a beacon in the community. (5/8)
Then there’s the story of Caleb, a transgender asylum seeker from Honduras. After escaping violence in his home country, Caleb made the harrowing journey to the U.S., eventually settling in Maine.
It was the first time people really accepted him for who he is.
That’s Mainers for you. (4/8)
