So disappointed. I didn’t agree but I understood your initial vote against the shutdown. However during the shutdown Republicans did nothing to show a good faith effort to work with Dems. We had the momentum and ability to support Mainers in immediate need. Now we have nothing but empty promises.

This has got to stop now!
Ask @patagonia.com to stop manufacturing in El Salvador. Their complicity with with Trump administration is inhumane.
Please consider no longer manufacturing in El Salvador. Every purchase matters.
#handsoff Portland, Maine! Loved this artwork.
Facebook is deleting Historian Heather Cox Richardson’s daily newsletters…
WTF is wrong with these people!?! Our government is doing PR about its illegal kidnapping and imprisonment of immigrants, showing how we inhumanely treat them. It’s impossible to not equate this with the Nazis.
Here’s the full text transcript. You decide.
I do not think in the year 2025 that we should continue to accept a reality which sees women paid just $0.75 for every $1 men are paid for doing the same job.
If we want to achieve economic justice in this country — that means equal pay for equal work.
From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
WOW! Just WOW! The lack of insight and empathy is astounding. So many older people are living month to month.
Why are Maine State Police calling Border Patrol on someone for a speeding violation?
Why are Maine State Police calling the Feds on someone pulled over for speeding? Are they required to?

I want to share with you three rules for fighting tyrannical fear and intimidation, gleaned from discussions I’ve had with a number of people who have lived in repressive regimes. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-respond-to-fear-and-intimidation
Yes a shutdown would have consequences.
And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible.
They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way.
Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.
I find "listen to the women" excellent advice in this specific case and... in life in general. ♀️
#VoteNO 👎
I'm voting NO.
If Republicans want a partisan power grab for Donald Trump and Elon Musk, they won’t be getting any help from me.
I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
