Congresswoman Chellie Pingree

I’d always rather be in Maine, but after way too long of a “Hegseth Holiday,” I’m ready to get back to Washington and back to work.

We’ll have a HUGE Democratic majority in January. And we have a long to-do list.

Ending Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Reversing the cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. Ending his reckless tariffs. Investigating this administration’s historic, rampant corruption.

But first, we need to pass a government funding bill. And we could vote as soon as this week to impeach Pete Hegseth for his stunning incompetence, disastrous handling of the war, and mistreatment of our servicemembers.

Let’s get it done!

A quick update from a rainy Maine greenhouse before I head back to Washington.

It remains to be seen how outgoing Republicans will handle their losses, but we have work to do, including passing a government funding bill by Dec. 10.

And fortunately, Dems don’t have to wait until January to get to work on holding this administration accountable. @RepThomasMassie will likely force a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth.

Busy week ahead. But feeling as hopeful and as motivated as ever!

So you agree? Presidents shouldn’t be able to destroy the White House?

MAHA moms helped elect Donald Trump. His administration has repeatedly betrayed the movement they helped build.

Backing Bayer at the Supreme Court.

Invoking the Defense Production Act to boost glyphosate production.

Failing to act on PFAS contamination.

The list goes on.

Democrats have long fought to address these very issues. And for the past two years, we’ve shown we’re ready to work with the MAHA coalition to turn shared priorities into real progress.

I hope last night’s sweeping results bring @SecKennedy to the table. Families deserve results.

Donald Trump’s priorities are completely out of whack. And Republicans in Congress have enabled him every step of the way.

The sun is setting on the Republican majority. And I’m taking that rainbow behind me as a sign of hope.
