Education is key to our future. — Adriano Espaillat (@RepEspaillat) March 15, 2025

x People are literally running out of burning planes.



I don't remember planes engulfed in flames and falling out of the sky when @PeteButtigieg was in charge.



DOGE's mass firings at FAA are risking lives, and @SecDuffy is unqualified to clean up Elon's mess. https://t.co/TQO5TKgrGW — Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove (@RepKamlagerDove) March 14, 2025

x In honor of Virgin Islands History Month and Women's History Month, today we present Queen Breffu.

x The Trump Administration is proving to be bad for farmers, bad for children, and bad for people in need. https://t.co/8np7SH23Ja — Rep. Shontel Brown (@RepShontelBrown) March 14, 2025

x By all accounts, the subject of this week’s “Dirigo Stories” is pretty well-known.

x Donald Trump promised he was going to bring costs down on day one. So how is kicking women and their newborns off of their health care lowering costs? How is putting veterans out of work lowering costs? How is taking away food from kids and seniors lowering costs? — Marilyn Strickland for Congress (@marilynstrickland.bsky.social) March 13, 2025 at 2:17 PM
