Here’s hoping whoever opens it in 2276 still knows the sound: kuplink, kuplank, kuplunk. 🫐🇺🇸

I can’t foresee the challenges the next 250 years. We may wander off the trail at times.
But my hope is that we can always find our way back home—with a deeper appreciation for the beauty of the world, a better understanding of all who inhabit it, and, of course, buckets full of blueberries.
In the end, my team and I felt strongly about including a copy of “Blueberries for Sal,” Robert McCloskey’s timeless children’s book about a little girl who goes blueberry picking with her mother—only to cross paths with a bear cub and its mother.
In honor of America’s 250th birthday, each Congressional Delegation was invited to place a few items in a time capsule, to be sealed inside the Capitol until 2276.
Talk about a tough decision!
This decision is a judicial travesty with real human consequences. Congress has the power to correct it, and we have a moral obligation to act. (8/8)
That means:
✅ Requiring country-condition reviews based on facts, humanitarian need, and expert consultation
✅ Preserving work authorization while redesignation or litigation is pending
✅ Creating a long-overdue pathway to permanent status for TPS holders who've contributed to this country. (7/8)
But Congress cannot stop there. We must strengthen TPS protections so that no President can exploit ambiguity in the law to carry out a mass stripping of status rooted in politics, racism, or conspiracy theories. (6/8)
The House has already passed bipartisan legislation to extend TPS protections for Haitians.
Now the Senate must immediately pass the companion bill, send it to the President’s desk, and make clear that Haitians cannot be forced back into danger. (5/8)
This Administration is claiming countries like Haiti are safe enough to send TPS holders back to, but at the same, the State Department continues to warn U.S. citizens not to travel there because of crime, terrorism, kidnapping, and unrest.
So which is it? (4/8)
Congress created TPS in 1990 to protect human lives by providing refuge to those fleeing dangerous circumstances.
The law was never meant to be a trapdoor to be used by a hostile administration to uproot families who've lived here for years, while crises in their home countries continue. (3/8)
Maine is home to hundreds of TPS holders who've fled horrific conditions, followed the rules, paid taxes, sent their kids to school, and built lives in our communities.
Because of Trump's anti-immigrant agenda, and a SCOTUS all too willing to rubber stamp it, their futures are in jeopardy. (2/8)
🧵
The Supreme Court’s decision to allow the Administration to strip Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Syrians, and potentially so many others, is a devastating act of cruelty. (1/8)
Already back home in Maine because Republicans cut our week short, but what else is new! Typical dysfunction and inability to govern from this Republican majority.
Here's what went down.
Barney always had a story. It was one of the things I loved about him—along with his wit, wisdom, biting remarks, and genuine warmth.
As we honored Barney on the Hill, it was clear how much his work changed history + impacted the lives of so many.
What a legacy. What a life.
I'll miss him dearly.
Full episode 👇
Trump promised to take on toxic chemicals.
Then his Admin went to SCOTUS and sided with Bayer/Monsanto.
This is a total betrayal of MAHA—and the *many* people who've been harmed.
I joined Zen Honeycutt, Glyphosate Girl, @booker.senate.gov + Tim Ryan on the WSITY? pod to talk through what's next.
Rep. McIver needs to be acquitted, and ICE needs to know that the people’s elected representatives will not be bullied into submission.
I stand with LaMonica. Today, tomorrow, and every day until this flagrant miscarriage of justice is rectified.
What’s happening to my colleague, LaMonica McIver, is nothing short of a political witch hunt.
Rep. McIver attempted to access an ICE facility in her district, to exercise her CONSTITUTIONAL oversight duties.
DOJ is clearly trying to prevent Members from conducting ANY oversight of ICE facilities.
As Ranking Member on the subcommittee that oversees the EPA, I’ll be pushing Lee Zeldin for answers.
With SCOTUS's decision this morning to shield Bayer from liability at the state level, it’s critical that the public understand how giant chemical companies have rigged the system in their favor.
For years, concerns have been raised about Monsanto's involvement in studies that made the case for glyphosate.
Thanks to this reporting, we now know of another safety study that Monsanto helped ghostwrite—and that the EPA knew this and continued to cite the study anyway!
This is a HUGE deal.
