When it comes to belt tightening in the wealthiest country on Earth, why do Republicans look to take food off American’s plates instead of taxing billionaires?

I just had to explain to my Republican colleague from Georgia that Robert E. Lee was not a founding father. It’s been a very long day on the House floor.

🚨 NEWS: The amendment to remove the pesticide liability shield language from the Farm Bill WILL be made in order— meaning the full House will get a chance to debate and vote on this before final passage of the farm bill. Now, it’s not the “Pingree-Massie” Amendment, which had broad bipartisan support. But the text they went with is identical to ours so that’s a win in my book. This is huge victory, but the fight is far from over. Thank you thank you to everyone — including the #MAHA activists who raised hell and said loud and clear: we cannot support a Farm Bill that puts chemical company profits over the health of Americans! Let your Member of Congress know — support the Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Amendment!

To the out of state consultants, pundits, and internet experts treating Maine like a political science experiment: ENOUGH! Mainers are independent. We have common sense. And we know exactly what’s at stake. Leave Maine alone, and let Mainers lead. Dirigo. #MESEN

Get a load of this. Secretary Rollins just said “glyphosate is safe” … really? The cancer-causing chemical that Bayer has literally spent BILLIONS on fighting and settling lawsuits is “safe”? Thank you Rep. Jim McGovern for holding her feet to the fire on this.

I’m aware of reports that someone was fatally shot in Biddeford this morning, and ICE may be involved. My team and I are working to get more information and will share more as we learn it. Please follow the guidance of local authorities and stay safe.

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 it is supposed to regulate. We have won this fight before and we must again.

A federal judge ruled that Trump had to take his name off the Kennedy Center by TODAY. But we all know how much he hates being told no, so he got his hand-picked board to file an appeal. Mr. President, I’m confused… I thought you were washing your hands with the Kennedy Center and “giving it back” to Congress (whatever the hell that means)? Take the L and move on already!

FARM BILL UPDATE: After first saying they would be pulling the Farm Bill debate, we just learned debate WILL proceed tonight. We cannot allow this bill to pass with the pesticide liability shield language. Striking this language has broad bipartisan support—both within the House Chamber and across America. Support the Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Amendment!

Late last night, Olivia Andre returned home to Maine. After six long months locked away in Dilley in violation of federal law, she is finally reunited with her family, friends, and a community that welcomes her with open arms. We fought like hell to make this happen. And we will continue to fight until every child, every family, every person is released and the Dilley Trailer Prison is shutdown for good.

Teri’s story broke my heart today. She lost her husband and their family dog to cancer after spraying RoundUp on their farm for over 40 years. Bayer has now paid ~$10 BILLION to settle RoundUp lawsuits. The company recently announced another settlement of up to $7.25 billion to address current and future cases. You don’t pay that kind of money because there’s nothing to worry about. Now, Congress could hand Bayer legal immunity, preventing people like Teri from suing chemical companies like Bayer over the harm they’ve caused.
