Has anyone noticed that the man, now being touted as a hero, who attacked and brought down one of the shooters attacking Jewish folks in Australia, appears to be Muslim? Good on him (and many others like him!)

When I’m in the Senate, I will fight tooth and nail to ensure that every Mainer has health care.
Republicans had a chance to extend the ACA tax credits, ensuring that millions of Americans won’t see their health care premiums skyrocket — but they’d rather listen to Trump and leave you with the cost.

The Protect America’s Workforce Act, the bill to restore union rights for 1 million federal workers, has passed the House!
This is a HUGE victory for working people, federal workers and our essential services. When we fight, we WIN!

I've just been on the phone with Lewiston friends, and they really need our support on Saturday. There have been threats against school and city officials who are perceived as too supportive of immigrants. The police have been notified of this.
We need to show up, please.

As Federal Cuts Threaten CDFIs, Community Foundations Can Fill the Gap
Op-ed: There's a clear business case for community foundations to redirect some of their invested assets from Wall Street to Main Street through community development financial institutions.

This is a heartbreaking story, and just another example of how our immigration system is broken.
As I have said, since I got into this race, we need to hold Border Patrol and ICE accountable for their brutal actions.

Maine voters pass red flag law
The proposal making it easier to take weapons from a person in crisis was put on the ballot after legislative efforts came up short in the wake of the 2023 Lewiston mass shooting.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

For all the anger at the pitiful Democratic leadership, rank and file Democrats seem to be demonstrating that they are actually in charge of the party and will set its direction. That is a good thing. The GOP belongs to one man; the future of the Democrats is up to every Democrat.
