It's not immigrants making life impossible for working mainers. It's not trans kids.
It's billionaires, and the politicians like Susan Collins on their payroll.
I heard doordash was stealing tips from their drivers so out of curiosity, I asked the woman who dropped off my tacos how much it's showing that I tipped her; she said $5. I showed her my phone where I tipped $20 (bc the taco place was busy and she waited for my order). 😐
Defeating Trump just to go back to business-as-usual won't be enough. We need to hold him and his cronies accountable for breaking the law.
Then we need to clean up the corruption in Washington to guarantee our government can never be hijacked again.
That’s what I’m focused on.
Today I got the opportunity to show Georgia state senator Greg Dolezal around the property that @GeorgiaPower is trying to take from my family through eminent domain. I will not stop fighting!
While in russia children are dressed in military uniforms, placed on tanks, and taught that wаr is something to be proud of.
Look at Ukraine.
Look at our songs. Our dances. Our language. Our embroidered shirts. Our laughter.
We do not teach children to hаte.
We teach them to love life.
Ukrainians keep singing even under air raid sirens. We dance even after sleepless nights. We protect our culture even while russia tries to еrase us with mіssiles, оccupation, and feаr.
Russia wants Ukrainian songs to fall silent.
They want our dances to be forgotten.
They want the Ukrainian language to disappear.
They want the very word “Ukraine” to no longer exist.
But we are fіghting.
For the right to live.
For the right to be ourselves.
For the right for our children to sing Ukrainian songs instead of marching in mіlitary unifоrms.

Rep. Thomas Massie says glyphosate is sprayed on ripe wheat to dry it before harvest.
He says the crop is one step away from bread when it is hit with poison.
Europe banned it, but Washington still allows it.
A man with no working truck convinced Wall Street he had built the next Tesla. His company hit $30 BILLION. All he did was push it down a hill with no engine.
> Trevor Milton founded Nikola in 2014, named after the same inventor as Tesla.
> The goal was to build hydrogen powered trucks that would make diesel obsolete. He had no trucks.
> In 2018 he released a promotional video called Nikola One In Motion. It showed a sleek semi truck accelerating smoothly down an open highway.
Investors went wild.
> What nobody knew was that the truck had no engine, no fuel cell, and no propulsion system of any kind.
> Milton's team towed it to the top of a hill, tilted the camera to hide the slope, and let it roll.
> He spent the next four years doing the same thing with words. On podcasts, television and social media.
> Investors were told Nikola could produce its own hydrogen. It could not. They were told the trucks were ready for production. They were not. They were told orders were flooding in. They weren't.
> In June 2020 Nikola went public. Within days the company was worth $30 BILLION, more than Ford.
> Milton's personal stake hit $7.3 BILLION overnight.
> A $32.5 MILLION ranch in Utah followed. A record for the state at the time.
> In September 2020 Hindenburg Research published a report calling Nikola "an intricate fraud" built on "an ocean of lies." Milton resigned within ten days.
> A federal jury convicted him of securities fraud and wire fraud in 2022. Sentenced to four years in prison the following year.
> He never went. He was free on $100 MILLION bail pending appeal.
> He and his wife donated $3.2 MILLION to Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.
> In March 2025 Trump gave him a full pardon. The pardon erased $168 MILLION in restitution to defrauded shareholders.
> Nikola filed for bankruptcy the following month, leaving thousands of investors with nothing.
The company never had a product. The only thing that was real was the $30 BILLION valuation, the $7 BILLION that landed in his pocket and the pardon that made sure none of it had to be returned.

There's no good reason a member of Congress should be trading stocks while making laws. I don't trade stocks, and I've got a bill to make sure nobody else does either.
An annual reminder: don’t spray spring dandelions with Roundup. One flower can be visited by 100+ bees in a day, and those chemicals can kill them all. 🌻
Buttigieg: Some people say there’s nothing you can do about it unless you have a constitutional amendment. Well, guess what? If that’s true, we ought to have a constitutional amendment.
Remember, that didn’t used to be considered impossible. We’ve had about 30 of them. Some of the things we take for granted as core to the Constitution—it’s right in there, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment—the word “amendment” means it wasn’t even in the original text. Amendments have always been a critically important part of how our Constitution is supposed to work. We just forgot about it.
We amended our Constitution for prohibition. We changed our Constitution so you couldn’t have a beer. And then we thought that’s a bad idea, and we changed it back. Don’t tell me we can’t change the Constitution to get money out of politics.
Arizona is building the first solar canal in the U.S. . Solar-covered canals will generate renewable energy and save water in this notoriously dry area: https://t.co/h7VQMpo9iP
