Trump accused six Democratic lawmakers of treason and sedition punishable by death after the group — all veterans and former intelligence officers — posted a video pointing out that the law requires military and intelligence personnel to refuse to follow illegal or unconstitutional orders.

U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, of Maine's 1st District, voted against the bill because it failed to extend subsidies under the Affordable Care Act. But 2nd District U.S. Rep. Jared Golden has argued since September against his party's strategy of linking the government funding bill to the ACA tax credits.

Collins, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, has largely blamed Democrats for the shutdown. Democrats, meanwhile, accuse Republicans of refusing to negotiate on extending health care premium subsidies for millions of Americans.

Rep. Jared Golden, a Democrat representing Maine's Trump-friendly 2nd Congressional District, reiterated his support for releasing files related to the government's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein scandal that has been amplified and nurtured by the president and other Republican politicians.

A moratorium on new regulations intended to protect critically endangered North Atlantic right whales is set to expire at the end of 2028. Lobster fishing groups and Rep. Jared Golden are asking Congress to extend it for another decade.

The bill by Golden and a Pennsylvania Republican would reverse a March executive order by President Trump that sought to eliminate collective bargaining rights for roughly 1 million federal workers.

The so-called "Back the Blue" Act would impose a mandatory minimum 30-year sentence for killing a U.S. judge, police officer, firefighter, chaplain, or ambulance crew member. Offenders would also be subject to the death penalty.

Louis Sigel of Gardiner is a former secretary for the Kennebec County Democratic Committee who is critical of Golden's stance on Israel as well as some of his votes that bucked his own party in D.C.

The Democratic governor laid out her concerns in a letter to the state's congressional delegation this week as the Senate continues work on the bill, which contains key aspects of President Trump's domestic agenda.

Republican Sen. Susan Collins and Democratic Rep. Jared Golden expressed support for the airstrikes. Independent Sen. Angus King called them important yet "potentially dangerous" while Democratic Rep. Chellie Pingree said they were reckless and unconstitutional.
