My statement on ICE coming to Maine for “Operation Catch of the Day”
What ICE is doing right now in Maine is unconscionable. Maine is consistently ranked as one of the safest states in the country. It’s because Mainers are strong – we look out for our neighbors and we take care of one another. There can be no pretense that ICE is here to keep us safe; they are here to stoke fears, play political games, and try to destroy the Maine spirit. Our immigrant neighbors make our communities stronger, and they are a critical part of what makes Maine the best place to live. When it comes to protecting new Mainers, I’ll do everything in my power to hold the Trump administration accountable and protect our state.

This is for all the menopausal & perimenopausal folks:

As estrogen levels ⬇️, bone density ⬇️, meaning ⬆️ risk of fractures & other injuries.

Fluctuating hormones cause other symptoms like fatigue & 🧠 fog.

Strength & cardio training (🏋️, 🏃‍♀️, 🚶‍♀️, 🚴‍♂️) can help.

Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.
