Last year, the Admin illegally terminated thousands of grants at the NEA and NEH—agencies that help generate more than $1 TRILLION in economic activity. These cuts don’t just silence voices and stymie creators. They erase the spaces where healing, connection, and community happen. It’s just WRONG!

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.

I’ve been an organic farmer for decades. I can tell you this: We DON'T need toxic chemicals like glyphosate to grow food. Rep. Massie and I have an amendment to strip the pesticide liability shield from the Farm Bill and allow states + communities to warn citizens about the dangers of glyphosate.

Chilly ferry ride! Heading to DC for a busy week: 🔴War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s illegal war (Republicans can’t run away this time!) 🔴 Interior + Environment markup, where we’ll fight Trump’s looting of NPS for his vanity projects 🔴 More lies and craziness, no doubt Let’s get to work.

WE DID IT 👏🏻 The @repluna.bsky.social Amendment passed and we successfully got the industry-written pesticide liability language OUT of the FARM BILL. I’ll be clear: This is still a terrible bill. But counting the wins where we can.

BIG fight ahead on EPA funding and the agency’s ridiculous rollbacks on toxic chemicals. PFAS in drinking water. Delayed compliance on vehicle emissions and pollution from coal-fired plants. Postponing regulations on efficient refrigerators. Republicans want to give the green light to ALL of it.

Democrats tried to bring another War Powers Resolution to the floor. Republicans immediately blocked it. Americans are fed up with this Republican Congress. The’ve given all of our power to Trump, who now has us engaged in a stupid war no one asked for. Killing in OUR name using YOUR tax dollars.

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).

While you were sleeping, the House (finally) moved forward with Farm Bill debate. I told my colleagues loud and clear: Democrats, Republicans, and citizens across this country agree: Keep the pesticide liability shield language OUT of the Farm Bill!

How can you claim to support “MAHA," and then slash a program that provides fresh fruits and vegetables to moms and children—including 15,000 Mainers? If Republicans get their way and cut this program, a mom who used to get $52 a month to spend on fruits and vegetables will only get $13!
