Members of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW), the House Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition (SEEC), and the House Energy and Commerce Committee will lead fellow Democratic lawmakers in holding a press conference to oppose the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) assault on environmental protections for the American people. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin recently announced he was “driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion,” includin...

During a House Agriculture Committee hearing, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) called out the Trump Administration and their Republican allies for threatening to slash $230 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)—which more than 40 million Americans rely on for monthly food assistance—in order to pay for a $4.5 trillion tax cut for the wealthiest Americans.

Just this week, the Trump Administration has targeted our food banks, local farmers, libraries, student exchange programs, rural energy projects, public health workers, unions—and even the Smithsonian. Thanks to everyone standing up, speaking out, and fighting back. Democracy isn’t a spectator sport—let's keep pushing forward together.

On Tuesday, March 25, 2025, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree hosted a Tele-Town Hall with Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey. During the hour-long event, Pingree and Frey spoke directly with Mainers about the many illegal actions President Trump, his Administration, and Elon Musk have taken since Inauguration Day—including those that have targeted Maine—and laid out how Congressional Democrats and states are fighting back.

In case you missed it, last night House Republicans passed their budget resolution (by just one vote and without ANY Democratic support). Here’s what it could mean and where we go from here.

I’m proud of the work I’ve done in Congress to help small farmers—both here in Maine and across the country. That’s what makes the indiscriminate cuts happening right now at the USDA so heartbreaking (and enraging). People don’t realize the impacts this will have on our country’s farmers—and on all of us. President Trump and Elon Musk—two people who know *nothing* about farming—have already caused so much pain, confusion, and hardships for so many people. Our farmers and producers deserve so muc...

Dismantling ED would be a disaster for families and communities across the country—including here in Maine. Maine schools receive more than $250 million a year through ED (more than $2,000 per student). Title 1 funds, support for special education, Pell grants, money for Head Start: all would be in jeopardy if this unelected billionaire gets his way. What DOGE is doing isn’t an “audit.” It’s an assault our communities.
