Gearing up for a jam-packed final week in Washington before the August district work period. Among Republicans’ priorities: advancing the SAVE Act’s voter suppression agenda and approving billions more for Trump’s war of choice in Iran. This has been the least productive Congress in modern history under Speaker Johnson’s leadership, and Republicans can barely agree among themselves. We’ll see how the week unfolds, but more chaos is surely in store. Stay tuned for updates.

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...

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!

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...

Already back home in Maine because Republicans cut our week short, but what else is new! Typical dysfunction and inability to govern from this Republican majority. Here's what went down.

On Thursday, lawmakers, staff, and friends gathered to celebrate the life of former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) on Capitol Hill.

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...

Pingree said Republicans’ FY27 Defense funding bill hurts our national security and fails to support America’s skilled workforce by shortchanging Bath-built destroyer production.

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...
