I cannot defend the indefensible. Israel’s actions in the conduct of the war in Gaza, especially its failure to address the unimaginable humanitarian crisis now unfolding, is an affront to human decency.

I cannot defend the indefensible... I am through supporting the actions of the current Israeli government.

The starvation gripping Gaza is a deliberately induced famine among a civilian population—including tens of thousands of starving children and can never be an acceptable military strategy.

For these reasons, I am through supporting the actions of the current Israeli government and will advocate—and vote—for an end to any United States support whatsoever until there is a demonstrable change in the direction of Israeli policy.

that tragic event cannot in turn justify the enormous toll on Palestinian civilians caused by Israel's relentless bombing campaign and its indifference to the current plight of those trapped in what's left of Gaza.

My litmus test will be simple: No aid of any kind as long as there are starving children in Gaza due to the action or inaction of the Israeli government.

Imposing tariffs on Canada, Maine’s closest trading partner, threatens jobs, drives up costs, and hurts small businesses that have long relied on cross-border cooperation and exchange.

The Republicans snuck in, I think, something that is slightly divisive, which is renaming one section of the Kennedy Center after a family member of this administration.

The Republicans have now given the president six times the normal amount of money to run the Kennedy Center, carte blanche over who will be on the board, and how different parts of the Kennedy Center − or perhaps the whole Kennedy Center…

There’s almost nothing about this bill that I’m going [to] have a hard time explaining to the district. This is a giant tax giveaway to wealthy people. Everyone fucking knows it.

We got two of our bills approved today, one unanimously and one with only one dissenting vote. Had the issue of the FBI building not come up, we would have had a third bill with strong bipartisan support.

For my part, I believe it needs some significant changes.

My vote against this bill stems primarily from the harmful impact it will have on Medicaid, affecting low-income families and rural health care providers like our hospitals and nursing homes.

I’m not planning to run for anything.

I would never vote for these Medicaid cuts. Never.

disgusting..I have never seen a bill this irresponsible, regressive and downright cruel.
