Republicans love to talk about “living within our means” when it comes to spending—except for the Pentagon, whose budget they want to increase by *40%*. Meanwhile, their cuts to the Forest Service are having a huge impact on research + wildfire management. The damage they’re doing is incalculable.

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.

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.

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.

16 years ago today, the Deepwater Horizon disaster killed 11 workers and devastated the Gulf. DOI wants to recombine bureaus that were split up after investigations exposed failed oversight, while rolling back safeguards put in place after the disaster—jeopardizing worker safety + the environment.

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.

On my way to conduct an oversight visit of Dilley—and to meet with Olivia, a constituent who’s been detained there since November and is facing some very serious health challenges. My goal is to get Olivia out as soon as possible. Because no one deserves to be ripped from their family like this.

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.

In his address yesterday, King Charles III underscored a basic truth: no one who holds great power should be above the system they govern. That principle built this country. I hope that message isn’t lost on anyone here, though it’ll go over the head of the person who needs to hear it most, I fear.

I had hoped to lean more into the paint aesthetic, adding more tile types and making it more slippery, and adding more puzzle elements, but the motivation kind of died out. Still, it was an interesting concept. Also the paint in this drips a lot more like paint, which is neat.
