The Trump Admin paid a company $1 billion to cancel its offshore wind leases. They cited “national security” + “environmental” concerns. Literally days later, they removed a critical endangered species protection to allow unfettered drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Just mindboggling hypocrisy.

The Trump Administration is trying to gaslight me, Congress, and the American people into believing they are *not* undoing the protections put in place following the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Bullshit.
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.
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.
They don’t call it “breaking bread” for nothing! Today’s markup lunch: Idaho fries from Rep. Simpson + my homemade wild Maine blueberry pies (leave it to a Mainer to whip up 8 pies in a morning!). Maybe after this we can come back to the table and make this funding bill bipartisan! One can hope.
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.
Arlington National Cemetery is hallowed ground. More than 400,000 servicemembers and their loved ones are buried there. Yet Trump is insisting on building his massive arch within direct sight of this sacred place. Vets + military families have expressed deep concerns—and sued to stop construction.
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.
I just signed onto @delauro.house.gov's discharge petition to fund the vital parts of DHS, including TSA, FEMA, and Coast Guard. ICE already got an extra $170 BILLION in the Big Ugly Bill to terrorize communities and build more detention centers. They don’t deserve another dime of taxpayer money.
UPDATE: After first saying they would be pulling the #FarmBill debate, we WILL proceed tonight. We can’t allow this bill to pass with the pesticide liability shield language. Striking it has broad bipartisan support—both within the House Chamber + across America. Support the Luna Amendment!
Lawrence O’Donnell and I discussed why Trump’s Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment. Republicans and his supporters can't keep brushing off these unhinged comments as "just Trump being Trump." He's doing irreparable damage to our country—and the world. Those who don't speak up are complicit.

Working families are reaching their boiling point. Republicans need to cut their vacation short, come back to DC, and extend ACA tax credits before premiums skyrocket.

It’s been an odd, frustrating, yet motivating time running for Congress in Virginia this Midterm cycle. But we as Americans can’t let partisan courts throw away the democratic will of the people. I’m Jason Knapp, and I’m running for Congress in VA-01 to restore the balance of power back to us.

House Republicans need to be on the record. Trump’s illegal war of choice with Iran is jacking up prices, making the world less safe, and making Americans' lives more difficult. Joined @alivitali.bsky.social on MS NOW to discuss why Congress deferring to Donald Trump is a deadly decision.
