Trump’s incompetence nearly destroyed the Kennedy Center. Now he wants to “transfer it back to Congress”!?!? First: What the hell does THAT mean? Second: We need answers on how the Center will be run moving forward (and Congress’s oversight role). My amendment simply called for more transparency.

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.
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.
Republicans claim to care about “Making America Healthy Again.” At the same time, they’ve: 🚨 Proposed cutting WIC fruit + veg benefits 🚨 Made it harder for people to access healthy food 🚨 Slashed local food programs 🚨 Done nothing to address PFAS 🚨 Done nothing to reduce chemicals in our foods
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.
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.
The Republicans’ spending bill for Interior + Environment is a disaster: 🚨 20% cut to EPA 🚨 Free passes to polluters 🚨 Rollbacks on PFAS regulations 🚨 Millions for Trump’s vanity projects They care more about the president’s ego than the health of people and our planet. We're in for a FIGHT.
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!
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.
The Virginia Supreme Court just rejected the will of more than 3 million voters. Meanwhile, Republicans are using the Supreme Court’s attack on the Voting Rights Act as a green light to ram through new gerrymandered maps across the South. There could not be a clearer contrast.
Jaa. Wollte barrierefrei raus, hat aber nicht so geklappt. Das Gras, war noch etwas feucht von der Nacht, im Steilhang. Also rückwärts wieder runter, bei schönstem Wetter
I think it's gonna take a little bit more than a purge! How about some accountability? The Trump-Gestapo is murdering and arresting American citizens FFS! WE WANT JUSTICE! chip-gifs.com
Americans are being CRUSHED by soaring energy prices. What are Republicans doing about it? Sabotaging clean energy that would help lower your bills—including using $2 BILLION in taxpayer money to stop offshore wind projects already in progress. WHAT!?!? Their priorities are COMPLETELY twisted.
Vilifying immigrants has been a pillar of Trump’s political platform since the very beginning. So it’s refreshing to see another foreign leader absolutely school him. Prime Minister Martin puts it beautifully: If you want your economy to grow (as Ireland’s has), you HAVE to invest in people.

VOLKER: Trump looks at Russia's war against Ukraine as a matter of who's bigger, who has power. Russia's bigger country, so Russia's going to win. Ukraine should give something up and make peace. Trump can't understand why they're not doing this. And he is making a huge mistake.

This is outrageous in modern Britain. Far too many women are having to fight for years to be listened to when they have endometriosis. No one should have to go through that. We must do all we can to ensure that women receive appropriate support and treatment for endometriosis.
One of the biggest misconceptions about personal development is that the teacher must have everything figured out. I thought I needed to arrive before I could speak. I thought I needed to solve every problem before I could offer insight.
Senador Iván Flores La verdad es que la actitud del ministro Quiroz ha sido desafiante e irrespetuosa y con eso no gana nada. Imponer desde una supuesta superioridad no contribuye.
