Olivia and her family fled an awful situation in the DRC. They’ve done everything right—working, studying, trying to live their lives free of fear. Like so many others, they got caught up in a broken immigration system. I'm thrilled she'll be coming home to Maine and reunited with her loved ones.

MAHA advocates are fed up with this administration paying lip service to their movement while delivering win after win for the chemical industry. Let’s just say EPA Admin. Zeldin did not respond well to being called out on his and his agency’s MAHA hypocrisy.
The Home Energy Rebates program helped hundreds of Mainers install heat pumps—dramatically reducing their energy bills. The Admin froze it. @wassermanschultz.house.gov offered an amendment stipulating that DOE either release the funds, or come to our committee and explain *why* they remain frozen.
I was fortunate to be in Hungary in the late 90s and saw how their new democracy was flourishing. Over the course of past 16 years, Viktor Orbán has hollowed out Hungary’s newfound democracy piece by piece.
🚨NEWS: The amendment to remove the pesticide liability shield language from the Farm Bill WILL be made in order— meaning the full House will get a chance to debate and vote on this before final passage of the farm bill.
Fishing and lobstering are central to Maine’s economy. But seafood + aquaculture are often left out of vital USDA programs. I was proud to support a Farm Bill amendment to make USDA’s Office of Seafood permanent, ensuring fishermen + seafood producers can access the same resources farmers rely on.
It’s so rare to get to share some good news. But I'm overwhelmed with joy to share that Olivia Andre WILL BE released from Dilley! A judge just signed the order today. ICE must release Olivia without delay so she can be reunited with her family and begin to heal where she belongs: at home in Maine.
This shouldn't be controversial, but here we are… debating in the FY27 Commerce, Justice, Science bill whether taxpayer dollars should be used to spy on, investigate, or intimidate Americans for exercising their First Amendment rights. (I agree with @pocan.house.gov: They absolutely should not.)
Republicans keep saying there isn’t enough money for clean water, museums, climate science, public lands, or basic services. But somehow there's always more money for Trump’s pet projects. This is a choice: Trump’s ego over the public interest. Trump’s vanity over the needs of working families.
The right loves to slap the word “socialism” on anything that helps working people. Public schools. Health care. Basic services people rely on every day. The government has a role to play in making sure the system actually works for working people, not just billionaires and corporations.
Trump's executive order on mail-in voting is one of the most dangerous things he’s done—a blatantly unconstitutional power grab. He wants to put hundreds of millions of people into a single database, then let his administration decide who counts as a “verified voter." It's insane. And illegal.

Gov. Wes Moore called it: the U.S. is on fire. Five alarms. This isn't the moment for careful, politics as usual. It's the moment for bold redistricting that protects every vote and fights back hard. Take it from him: "We don't have a choice but to act."

Russian disinformation is a layered process with a long-term strategy to weaken Turkey-NATO ties. That's what @kwasylewsky.bsky.social and Karolina Wanda Olszowska argued in our latest podcast, where they outlined examples, impacts and countermeasures. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFuS...

The courage of the Iranian people is humbling. The brutal response by the security forces is unacceptable and exposes a regime afraid of its own people. The EU already has sweeping sanctions in place on Iran. We are now discussing putting additional sanctions.

A playful homage to J-horror films such as Ringu and Ju-On from director Kenichi Ugana, The Curse updates the classic formula for the social media age. With some suitably gnarly scares and a darkly humorous streak, this is one fans of Japanese horror cinema won’t want to miss. #jff26 #JFFIreland
