Huge congrats to the nurses at CMMC who voted overwhelmingly last night to form a union. Even in the face of extreme tactics and firings from Prime Healthcare, these nurses demonstrated the power of collective action and standing together. These Maine nurses were standing up for all of us, their patients, and each other. When we fight, we win. 💪

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders, service members, and everyday Americans whose courage carried our country through one of its darkest days. Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor their memory through service, community, and a commitment to one another. In Maine and across the country, we remember those we lost and the resilience that helped us rebuild and move forward together.

This is good news for #maine

Maine's housing crisis calls for a governor ready to lead on day one. Today I shared my plan with the Maine Affordable Housing Coalition because housing isn't just one issue, it's the foundation for a stronger, vibrant, more affordable Maine. From investments in new housing production, to taking on the private equity that’s displacing some Mainers from their homes, to growing the construction workforce, we’re going to help build and save the housing that allows our neighbors to call Maine home.

Grew up listening to your songs, thanks for sharing your talent with us

Mainers deserve the truth about ICE's unchecked expansion in our state. DHS has grown its presence here by 44% under Trump, with no plan, no accountability, and no regard for the communities it's operating in. Today, congressional leaders held a field hearing to demand answers for the killing of Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero. These hearings are happening in Maine because Congress in DC has failed to do its job. Every Mainer deserves to feel safe in their own neighborhood. As Governor, I'll demand real, independent oversight, not empty promises. I'll keep fighting for accountability. ICE out of Maine. bangordailynews.com/2026/08/…

When federal agents act with impunity, as they did during Operation Midway Blitz, local leaders step up. LP member and Cook County Commissioner Jessica Vásquez stood alongside victims and advocates, leading with transparency and accountability. bit.ly/3RZklcZ

Almighty. Protect our children. Grant them a heart of faith, keep them healthy & heal all those who are ill. Bless them with good, righteous friends & those who will remind them of You. Grant them a strong sense of right & wrong & keep them safe. Aameen

DOJ's $300M "Model City Initiative" comes with strings attached: surveillance, fear, and violence in immigrant communities. S/O to Councilors Bencomo & Corran for calling it what it is: a Trojan horse, not a safety grant. Read more: bit.ly/4wgbRfD

Sending love, strength, and power to our members in Madison ❤️✊🏽

Biddeford is hurting this morning. This administration’s immigration enforcement runs on fear, not safety. We should #AbolishICE and replace them with well trained federal officers .Our communities deserve better.

Eleven years later, Sandra Bland remains on my heart. I continue to hold her family in prayer and honor the life they knew and loved long before her final hours. #SandraBland #SayHerName

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father of three who built houses in Houston, started his own business, and raised his family here for 35 years. His son became a teacher. ICE agents killed him in cold blood.  Lorenzo is at least the 8th person killed, and at least the 21st person shot by federal immigration agents during the Trump Administration. There’s only one incident (in Hennepin County, Minnesota) where anyone is being held accountable. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is planning legal action – that’s where we are. Other countries have to bring action to address human rights violations here. Meanwhile, I was in court this week on behalf of a three-year-old who's been needlessly separated from her mother for almost a year now. And she’s just one of thousands of other kids. For Lorenzo, Renee, and Alex, for Estrella (not her real name), and so many more whose names we don’t know: We will not grow complacent, or tired, or distracted, or accustomed to ICE’s brutality. We will honor their memories by fighting to abolish ICE, protect our neighbors, and uphold the rule of law.      nytimes.com/2026/07/08/us/im…

I’m so excited to launch my campaign for US Senate because flipping the Senate in November is crucial. I’m running to pass Medicare for all, fight for workers’ rights, and protect our neighbors. Join me in this journey at Bellowsformaine.com

Today’s #SCOTUS decision reaffirming #birthright #citizenship is a victory for the Constitution & the rule of law. For more than 150 years, the 14th Amendment has made clear that nearly every child born on American soil is an American citizen. Today, that promise remains intact.

LP's Black and Nuestro Caucuses condemn SCOTUS's ruling to strip thousands of TPS holders of their legal protections. Regardless of this failure, our network's commitment to ensuring our communities are welcoming havens where every resident can live with dignity will remain.
