Crazy week ahead. Republicans refuse to negotiate on DHS—but have a bill to allow lead bullets for hunting. PRIORITIES! Meanwhile, the FCC Chair is outrageously threatening to revoke broadcast licenses. Democrats are demanding accountability—on this insane war, the Epstein files, DHS, all of it.

WHAT THE HELL is going on at the USPS? Yesterday, I received an alarming message about a company that delivers mail for USPS to several island communities in Maine. Apparently, USPS has been stiffing this company for years—to the tune of $388K—and hasn’t paid for a SINGLE delivery in 2026.

Good on the courts for rightly striking down Hegseth’s limit on press access to the Pentagon as unconstitutional. A free press has never been more important.

HOW IT STARTED: "On day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.” — Donald Trump, August 2024 HOW IT'S GOING: Inflation just hit a three-year high, thanks to Trump’s illegal war in Iran—the kind he promised never to start (another lie).

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.

Late last night, Olivia Andre returned home to Maine. After 6 long months locked away in Dilley in violation of federal law, she is finally reunited with her family, friends, and a community that welcomes her with open arms.

In 1978, Congress created the Endangered Species Committee, giving it the authority to loosen protections laid out in the 1973 Endangered Species Act under extraordinary circumstances. Now, Pete Hegseth and Doug Burgum actually believe it’s their right to “play God” with endangered species.

Just got out of our tour of Dilley. As always, they tried very hard to cover up the horrible conditions. But you could see how awful it is. I *did* get to meet with Olivia, a 19-year-old from Maine. All she wants is to come home, be with her family, and eat ice cream while she watches the sunset.

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.

🧵 Olivia Andre remains in ICE custody at Dilley, despite her mother and siblings—who were detained with her—having already been released. ICE has failed to provide a clear written explanation for why Olivia continues to be detained. This lack of transparency is unacceptable and indefensible. (1/4)

Fireworks exploding over the Mediterranean... celebrating a doctor from 1,700 years ago. Just witnessed Ravello's Festival of St. Pantaleone, an entire town honouring a physician-martyr while our junior doctors strike for basic recognition. Running a healthcare agency, the irony wasn't lost on me.

Wistikles | Commonwealth Bank has cut ~300 jobs in Australia during a restructure and AI push — while hiring for similar tech roles in India.

While filming outside the Whipple building, the central node of ICE activity in Minnesota, I met Tom. A veteran, union worker, and self proclaimed "Nazi Hunter". He yelled vulgarities at whoever left or entered federal property. Note: This is my favorite interview of the whole film.

The sophistry inspiration: A scene from an anime named Overlord Here, a discussion takes place between the leaders of two kingdoms. Ainz (skeleton) is the aggressor and is explaining why he plans to slaughter the other leader's entire populace. Pay attention to the surface-level argument he uses.
