In fact, between January and May, the retail price of eggs has actually gone up—by quite a bit!
It’s one thing to cherry-pick numbers that make your policies look better. It’s another thing to openly deceive the American people. (2/2)

Remember when Trump promised to bring down egg prices "on Day 1”?
Well, it didn’t happen.
Then it kept not happening.
Now, the Secretary of Agriculture is claiming egg prices have fallen 61% since Trump took office.
One problem: This figure is based on *wholesale* data, not retail data. (1/2)
I’m proud to cosponsor the Equal Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act, which repeals the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry that can’t be sued for reckless business practices.
Let's stand up to these companies—and start saving lives. #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth (2/2)
Gun violence took the lives of nearly 47,000 Americans in 2023.
More than half died by suicide.
Another 18,000 were victims of homicide.
18 were senselessly killed in the Lewiston shooting.
This isn't just a national crisis. It’s a moral failing. One we must have the courage to address. (1/2)
To unlock the full potential of Maine’s maritime economy, we must immediately reinvest in NOAA, expand USDA’s mission to better support seafood producers, and ensure that our coastal communities have the resources they need—and the funding they were promised. (2/2)
Huge thanks to the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation for inviting me to speak at today’s Capitol Hill Ocean Week event.
We know how vital fisheries are to Maine’s economy. But the recent funding cuts to @noaa.gov could have catastrophic consequences for our fishermen + coastal communities. (1/2)
The scale of the horror happening in Gaza right now is impossible to comprehend—and cannot be ignored.
This isn’t reciprocal warfare.
It isn't legitimate self-defense.
It’s collective punishment of a civilian population.
And it must be stopped. (2/2)
This is unconscionable.
For the third time in a week, the Israeli military opened fire on a crowd of Palestinians gathered near an aid distribution site in Gaza, killing more than 30 people and injuring nearly 200, according to local health officials. (1/2)
Everyone in this country, regardless of their nationality or legal status, has a right to due process.
We won’t stop fighting against any attempts to separate families and make our immigration system harder to navigate than it already is. (2/2)
Last week, Lucas Segobia and Marcos Henrique were pulled over on their way to work for having a crooked license plate. They were detained by Border Patrol. According to their loved ones, they’ve since been sent to an ICE facility in Texas.
They were on a path to becoming legal residents. (1/2)
As we celebrate Pride Month, let us honor this legacy—and the movement that inspired it—by doing our part to build a world where everyone feels safe, seen, accepted, valued, and loved. (3/3)
It took years of hard work and advocacy—and the bravery and conviction of countless people—to transform Ogunquit into the inclusive community it is today.
Artists. Activists. Business owners. Residents. All of them played a role. All of them had a hand in building something extraordinary. (2/3)
Whatever your identity or orientation, Ogunquit is a place that makes you feel welcome. A place where love is celebrated, community is cherished, and pride is part of the everyday landscape. A place where you can be yourself.
Sadly, this wasn’t always the case. (1/3)
I am horrified by yesterday's attack in Boulder targeting a peaceful vigil held in solidarity with hostages in Gaza. This antisemitic violence is unconscionable.
My heart goes out to the victims, their families, and the Jewish community.
First they came for the artists.
Then the librarians.
Then the history books.
Trump’s war on culture isn’t subtle—and it’s not just about budgets. It’s about control.
📰 read my latest op-ed in @pressherald.com
On this 75th anniversary, I urge my Republican colleagues: don’t just remember her words. Live up to them. Show the same moral courage Smith did—and speak out.
Our democracy won’t survive on silence.
Her words have never felt more relevant.
Today, we face a new era of political intimidation, disinformation, and authoritarianism—from an Administration that uses fear as a weapon and loyalty as a litmus test.
Smith warned against equating dissent with disloyalty. She believed that Americans must be free to criticize their government without fear. That facts still matter. That truth still matters. That conscience must come before party.
In her “Declaration of Conscience,” Smith spoke out against her fellow Senator, Joseph McCarthy, whose anti-Communist crusade had created a climate of fear, intimidation, and political repression. Not just in Washington, but across the country.
75 years ago today, Maine’s first woman Senator, Margaret Chase Smith, delivered one of the most powerful speeches in American history.
