Pingree on @msnow: someone shouldn’t have to die for ICE to end traffic stops
July 15, 2026
I’m glad that DHS has agreed to cease all traffic stops. But it shouldn’t have taken two more tragic deaths to put an end to a practice they shouldn’t have been doing in the first place. Let’s be clear about how we got here: DHS got $170 BILLION for more officers, more guns, more body cameras (which they’re STILL not wearing), and more quotas. When they couldn’t get a warrant to enter someone’s home, they’d just grab them from their car. Limitless resources + complete lack of oversight = bad out...

Speaker Johnson sends House home early over SAVE Act drama
June 30, 2026
Least surprising breaking news update from the House: Speaker Johnson canceled votes for the week and is sending us all home early for the second straight week. Why? Well, 1: Republicans cannot govern. 2: Some of their members are upset because the Senate won’t pass Donald Trump’s precious “SAVE Act” — a voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise about 69 million women in the United States, 25% of the eligible voting population. Hey, at least I get to head home to Maine a few days early!

Breaking down the latest Supreme Court rulings
June 30, 2026
Some big SCOTUS rulings the past two days. The good news: ✅ Birthright citizenship remains intact ✅ Mail-in ballots CAN be counted after Election Day (a big blow to Trump’s voter-suppression efforts) ✅ Geofencing warrants are subject to Fourth Amendment protections The bad news: 🔴 Gave the Admin the green light to bully schools and states like Maine that refuse to target transgender kids. 🔴 Opened the floodgates to even MORE money in our elections, once again equating campaign spending to “fre...

MAHA Betrayal: Trump Helps Gift Big Chemical Legal Immunity with SCOTUS Monsanto Decision
June 25, 2026
Terrible ruling today out of SCOTUS. After President Trump put his finger on the scales, Bayer has won in court what it could not get through Congress: a powerful new shield from accountability. If the Supreme Court is going to put even more weight on EPA’s pesticide review and labeling process, then Congress and the President have a responsibility to fix the dangerous gap this decision exposes. EPA must be transparent, science-based, independent, and accountable to the public—not the industries...

Partisan hacks set to takeover federal grantmaking
June 24, 2026
Russ Vought—a chief architect of Project 2025, and one of the most nefarious and destructive forces in this Administration—wants to give veto power over every single federal grant to Trump loyalists (like himself). This is completely outrageous. Federal grants are supposed to be nonpartisan and driven by the actual needs of people and communities. They should NOT be subjected to ideological litmus tests. We’ve seen countless examples of how reckless and petty this Administration has been with fe...

Trump touts America first but wants to buy ships overseas
June 24, 2026
Republicans want a TRILLION dollars for the Pentagon… but say there is only enough money for *one* additional Bath-built DDG-51 destroyer? These ships are the backbone of our Navy. How can you claim to support revitalizing America’s sea power—and American manufacturing—but refuse to make these critical investments? Even worse, Russ Vought and OBM are talking about buying ships OVERSEAS in places like Japan and Korea. It’s totally outrageous. The Defense bill should make strategic investments in ...
