Public media enriches our lives, nourishes our minds, and makes our communities safer.
It deserves to be preserved and protected, not gutted to score political points.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are continuing to fight like hell. We will not let this woefully out of touch President undermine Congress’s constitutional authority. (2/2)
Today, @democrats-appropriations.house.gov are pushing back on Republicans’ massive defense funding bill that weakens Ukraine and empowers Russia.
Soon, the House will take up the President’s $9 billion rescissions package, which would defund USAID and public media like NPR and PBS. (1/2)
While you were sleeping: My amendment to restore funding to a USDA position that helps reduce food waste was adopted.
Even Rep. Harris agrees: Curbing food waste in this country is worth every penny.
👋🏻 midnight update from the Appropriations Ag-FDA markup.
We have a long way to go but @democrats-appropriations.house.gov are still here and still fighting.
Farmers kept their promises. USDA didn’t.
After Trump illegally froze funding for critical ag programs, farmers in Maine and across the country were left hanging—fronting costs, only to be met with silence.
My amendment would right this wrong, and ensure USDA honors its contracts.
The climate crisis is real.
Drought, flooding, early frosts that can ruin an apple crop—our farmers are living with this every season.
But Republicans would rather sneer about “woke agendas” than fund the tools that help people keep their farms in business—and keep food on our tables.
Republicans love to talk about standing up for farmers and making America healthy.
Then why are they cutting programs that help farmers bring healthy produce to their communities?
During today’s Ag markup, @democrats-appropriations.house.gov are the ones actually fighting for America’s farmers.
While Republicans sat in silence, @democrats-appropriations.house.gov worked thru the night fighting for veterans.
We scored wins for vets affected by Agent Orange, and for those at risk of suicide. But many important provisions were rejected.
Our fight continues today with Ag-FDA. Stay tuned.
The Produce Rx Program helps vets access healthy food, manage chronic illness, + stay out of the hospital. We’ve funded it for 4yrs—and it’s working.
But Republicans want to eliminate it. How is that “MAHA”?
This program supports veterans health and wellbeing.
It isn’t complicated!
We’re on hour 7 of marking up the MilVon VA appropriations bill. @democrats-appropriations.house.gov have introduced dozens of amendments like this one to fight back against Republicans’ shortsighted and reckless cuts and we’re only about halfway through.
We will keep fighting.
Upholding our NATO commitments shouldn’t be controversial. But in a MAGA-led Congress, even that’s upside-down. Putin couldn’t have drawn it up better.
Peace through strength is standing side by side with our allies. We must fund NATO. Period.
The MilCon-VA bill is a total disaster—not just for veterans (and women especially), but for our shipyards.
At Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, rising sea levels are threatening nuclear submarines. But Republicans want to cut resilience funding.
Why? Because “climate resilience” is too woke.
Seriously.
@democrats-appropriations.house.gov
are fighting back. Tune in here:
We know how bad the Big Ugly Bill is.
It gets worse. Today we begin markups for the Republican '26 budget, starting w/ their awful MilCon-VA bill.
🚨 Resilience funding for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard? Gone.
🚨 80K VA jobs? Cut.
🚨 Women veterans’ rights? Stripped.
🚨 Healthy food for patients? Nope!
Celebrating the Army’s 250th birthday with:
✅ Cupcakes
❌ Tanks in D.C. (to the tune of $45 million in taxpayer $!)
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.
