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.

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).
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.
Just got off the phone with Olivia, who’s out of Dilley and on her way home to Maine! We shouldn’t have to fight THIS hard to protect people’s constitutional rights—or to get people out of these horrific detention centers. But we WILL keep fighting. Safe travels, Olivia! We’ll see you soon.
Update from D.C.: Overnight, the Senate passed a bill that would fund the vital parts of DHS, like TSA, the Coast Guard, FEMA, and cybersecurity professionals without handing ICE and CBP a blank check. Now, the House needs to get this passed. We’ll see if Republicans can get out of their own way.
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.
This shouldn't be controversial, but here we are… debating in the FY27 Commerce, Justice, Science bill whether taxpayer dollars should be used to spy on, investigate, or intimidate Americans for exercising their First Amendment rights. (I agree with @pocan.house.gov: They absolutely should not.)
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!
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.
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.
Trump tried to slap his name on the Kennedy Center like it was one of his tacky hotels. Today a federal judge made clear what we've said all along: He had no legal authority to do it. The Kennedy Center belongs to the American people. Now and always. How fitting that today is JFK’s birthday!

Majority of UCP voters support independence: poll Not think about it. Not flirt with it. They would vote to leave. That is not fringe. That is the base. Take a look: https://rebelne.ws/3OW4TwL
I know a crook like Trump when I see one. I started an organization to impeach him in 2017, when most Democrats were preaching "norms" and "civility."
Everyone sees this increase in control and is concerned, fascist take this anger and directed towards racial ethnic, or other majoritarian anger. We must ensure that the majority that is represented, is the working class not the white Christian men.
