  1. #SNAP Recipients Crushed by #Democrats Caving on #Shutdown: “They Just Wasted It All”

    People on #FoodStamps said they were willing to sacrifice to protect #HealthCare benefits. They’re furious that the Democrats gave up.

    Jessica Washington, November 12 2025

    Excerpt: "The Intercept spoke with four SNAP recipients who said they’re furious that Democrats squandered the sacrifice they made for the last month to ensure access to health care for millions of Americans — just as voters rewarded the party for finally fighting back against Republicans with major electoral victories last week.

    " 'We sacrificed and we would continue to sacrifice because we understood what the stakes were. People’s health care was at stake,' said Delight Worthyn, 67, a SNAP recipient with lupus living in New Haven, Connecticut. 'And that they would cave for nothing after we have all gone through this. … I only feel betrayed.' "

  13. 'People will die': #Maine nurses protest #MedicaidCuts in Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'

    Aysia Reed, Tue, July 1st 2025 at 12:21 PM

    PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) -- "Senators could vote on Tuesday on President Donald #Trump's self-proclaimed '#BigBeautifulBill,' a sweeping policy document that lawmakers have been debating all day and night.

    "They are in a phase where any senator can add an amendment, known as a 'vote-a-rama.'

    "While the president was hoping to see it on his desk by July 4, senators have been back and forth since the weekend.

    "One of the biggest hang ups between the parties has been proposed cuts to health care and programs like Medicaid.

    "Nurses from across the state will be outside of Senator Susan Collins’ district office in Portland on Tuesday to protest the proposed medical cuts under Trump’s bill.

    "This is part of a nationwide effort held by the group #NationalNursesUnited, which is the nation's largest #union of registered nurses.

    "New estimates from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office show nearly 12 million Americans could lose their health insurance if Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' passes.

    "Medicaid provides health care coverage to the most vulnerable populations. More than one in five people in the U.S. had health care covered by Medicaid in 2023, according to National Nurses United.

    "Senator #AngusKing says an analysis shows 60,000 people in Maine would lose their coverage. That's 40,000 under #Medicaid and 20,000 under the #AffordableCareAct.

    "Without insurance, he says people will die because they won't have access to routine care.

    " 'The idea of cutting health insurance from people is not just, 'Oh well, they just won't have coverage for their doctor’s visits.' No, people die when they don’t have health insurance. There is statistical analysis to bear that out,' said King.

  19. Senator #AngusKing fumes at #ClimateChange being nixed from annual threat assessment

    Chris D’Angelo for The Maine Monitor April 8, 2025

    "#Maine has been described as a 'climate haven,' [the same for #Vermont] a place expected to remain relatively sheltered from the most extreme and dangerous impacts of global climate change. But the #PineTreeState is far from immune.

    "Fossil fuel-driven climate change is intensifying #HeatWaves, #flooding and other #ExtremeWeather events. Waters in the #GulfOfMaine are warming faster than nearly every other swath of ocean on the planet, threatening the future of the state’s signature #lobster industry and other #fisheries.

    "Sea levels here are forecast to rise approximately 4 feet by the end of the century, forcing coastal communities, shipyards and military installations to prepare and adapt.

    " 'This is a guaranteed threat,' said #AmyEshoo, director of #MaineClimateActionNow. 'It’s not one we can negotiate with. It’s not one that we can put #tariffs on. It’s not one we can go to the table with. We unleashed it. It’s here. We’re feeling its effects. Maine is definitely feeling them.' "

    mainebeacon.com/sen-king-fumes

    #MaineWx #ClimateCatastrophe #SeaLevelRise #SenatorAngusKing

  20. Senator #AngusKing, grilled #Gabbard on why #ClimateChange had been excluded for the first time in the #ThreatAssessment report.

    Gabbard again said the only included the highest threats.

    King rattled off the MANY effects of Climate Change that threaten security. Migration, famine, poverty, social & political tensions, etc.

    Then he directly asked if she ordered that climate threats be excluded. She said no.

    The reason 100% is #Trump’s war on “wokeism”

    #NationalSecurity #kakistocracy

  21. Hmmmm... So, here is #AngusKing's response to my concerns about #HR9495. I take it he's a "yea". I believe there were some concerns about the amendment S. 4136 that Senator King refers to. How robust are these protections? And again, WHO DEFINES WHAT IS A TERRORIST? Mad King Donald? smh (Oh, and #SenatorSusanCollins didn't even bother to reply -- I guess I'm still on her shit list. Ooops!)

    "Thank you for sharing your views with me on S. 4136. I recognize there are concerns that this bill will impact civil liberties—rest assured; I share your determination to protect nonprofits from any political or religious targeting. That’s why I sponsored S. 4136 after I determined the bill contains robust procedural protections to ensure it’s only used to police nonprofits that provide material support to terrorist groups. In my view, a nonprofit should not benefit from its tax-exempt status if it is financing terrorism.

    "I worked closely with my colleague, Senator Cornyn, on S. 4136. This bill would permit the Department of the Treasury to terminate the tax-exempt status of a nonprofit that provides material support to terrorist groups, designating them as a terrorist supporting organization.

    "The Secretary of the Treasury would be required to submit proof that the nonprofit organization provided material support to a terrorist group and allow for a pre-decisional remediation process. Once the Treasury Secretary suspends a nonprofit’s tax-exempt status, the nonprofit may appeal to the IRS’s Independent Office of Appeals. Should the Independent Office of Appeals decide against the nonprofit, the nonprofit can appeal to the U.S. District Courts. A court may have to review classified information to make a final determination. In such a case, protecting national security may require the court to review evidence privately, without a defendant present, and procedures for conducting such review already exist in other national security laws.

    "It is important to note that S. 4136 is a product of bipartisan negotiations to provide the Treasury with effective anti-terrorism authorities while protecting the rights of nonprofit groups through thorough legal processes. In November of last year, the House Ways and Means Committee thoroughly reviewed the House version of my bill and its provisions, sending it to the full House by a unanimous vote. The bill passed the House by a strongly bipartisan vote of 382 to 11. Congress rarely agrees on even the most commonsense measures, let alone passes a bill with such broad bipartisan support.

    "I believe the extensive procedural safeguards protect this process from abuse; given that it is clear to me that a non-profit which is proven to be a conduit for funds to a terrorist organization should not enjoy tax exempt status.

    "Thank you for contacting me on this important issue; please be in touch with other matters of importance to you that come before the Senate."

    Blah, blah, blah. Was this written by #ChatGPT?!!

    via @indivisibleteam

    "This isn’t the result we wanted but the fight isn’t over — we will continue to organize against this #nonprofit killer bill in the #Senate.

    "Pressure still works. In a week, you made 13,000 calls and convinced dozens of Democrats to flip their vote and join our side in voting no on H.R. 9495. Thank you for everything you did. More Democrats are waking up, but we will need to keep pushing for our elected officials to fight back against the incoming Trump administration."

    Harvard study finds sovereignty constraints on Maine tribes caused them enormous economic damage

    Colin Woodard, Portland Press Herald, Maine, December 9, 2022

    "A new study by researchers at the Harvard Kennedy School has concluded that #Maine's tribes have been economically hobbled by the restrictions placed on their sovereignty and ability to access federal Indian policy under the terms of the controversial 1980 land claims settlement agreement."

  24. My latest blog post... A reprint of an article I wrote in 2001, which makes the case for #Maine's #FirstNations to be caretakers of their waters, and also background of how the 1980 Maine Settlement Act screwed them over -- very relevant in light of #AngusKing's decision not to allow Maine Nations to have the same rights as other First Nations in the US! #WaterIsLife #Indigenous #NativeAmerican

    Bill that would have given Maine tribes benefits of future federal law is blocked

    "PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Congress has halted a bill that would have allowed #NativeAmerican tribes in #Maine to get the same benefits of future federal laws that tribes across the rest of the U.S. do.

    "Native American leaders in Maine blamed independent Sen. #AngusKing for blocking the proposal, which would have applied to tribes bound by terms of a Maine land claims settlement.

    "'There is no legitimate policy justification for the #Wabanaki Nations to be treated differently from all other 570 federally recognized Tribal Nations, yet that is what this outcome will perpetuate,' said Chief William Nicholas Sr. of the #Passamaquoddy Tribe at Indian Township, known as Motahkmikuk."
