Susan Collins has gotten all too comfortable staying silent as the President takes a wrecking ball to our Constitution.

This moment demands someone who will fight back. I've stood up to him before, and I'm not afraid to do it again in the Senate.

I'm the only Democrat who has won a statewide race — not once, but twice — in the last 20 years.

Maine people know me. They know that unlike Susan Collins, I've got the backbone to stand up to the President, and that I'll always put them first.

The same day WaPo reports that Russia has provided Iran with intelligence on locations of US ships, aircraft, personnel and assets in the Middle East, Trump’s Treasury Secretary announces the administration is removing Russian oil sanctions.

I think it’s dawning on Trump/his court that while MAHA might have been a beneficial electoral addition in 2024, it’s a perpetual motion machine generating wedge issues that unite democrats and split republicans

The Trump admin’s $600 million termination of public health grants will be devastating for California.

@pelosi.house.gov and I visited the SF LGBT Center to learn more about how these politically-motivated cuts threaten our health system, and especially efforts to stop the spread of disease.

ACLU MN reported yesterday that the federal government filed sworn statements that there are 970 agents in Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge & that 407 agents will remain here in March. It’s important to note this is on top of the 190 agents that were already assigned before this surge started.

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.

He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

Trump ran on “Biden is pressing the Increase Gas Prices button, and I will press the Decrease Gas Prices button” but it turns out there is no Decrease Gas Prices button, only an Increase Gas Prices button, which Trump keeps intentionally hitting

Trump did that.

I mean is it even really true that you can keep Hormuz open if you’re willing to dump massive resources into it? You pretty much need a 100% success rate at intercepting any kind of attempted attack, right? Is that possible, if we can’t even protect our own guys in that area?

This is what I can’t wrap my head around. People keep saying “Oh it’ll work itself out” but… how? Give the ships wings? Destroy every drone in a hostile territory the size of the eastern US? Kill every living human within 100 miles of the strait?
