The stories we heard today underscore the health care crisis that Republicans have refused to confront.

There’s no excuse for this inaction. I’ll keep fighting to secure these tax credits because no Mainer should lose coverage or face financial ruin because Republicans in Congress refused to act.

In 2023, I was proud to secure a $3M earmark to help MIHC undertake a massive renovation project, which will preserve this landmark and ensure it remains a vibrant cultural hub for generations.

Huge thanks to everyone who came out—and to the wonderful folks at MIHC for their incredible work. (3/3)

To be in that beautiful space with so many amazing people was truly special.

It was especially exciting to meet Geraldine Byrne Nason, Ireland’s Ambassador to the U.S., whose visit was a meaningful moment not just for MIHC, but for communities across Maine that cherish their Irish roots. (2/3)

The hardworking men and women who serve in the U.S. Coast Guard deserve leaders with moral clarity—people who truly understand what is and isn’t acceptable.

This heinous decision has since been reversed, but let’s be clear: They only backed down because the public found out.

That speaks volumes.

All of these members have military experience—and are rightfully alarmed that the Admin is directing people to commit violence against Americans.
 
Those who serve our country swore an oath to the Constitution, *not* Trump.
 
If pointing that out is "treason," what else is he willing to criminalize?

Celebrating this milestone alongside General Dianne Dunn, Adjutant General of the MNG, made today especially meaningful.

America stands with the people of Montenegro as they advance democratic reforms and continue their progress toward the EU. Maine will continue to play a proud role in that work.

There’s always a Maine connection, as they say, and ours with Montenegro is ironclad. Next year marks the 20th anniversary of the partnership between Montenegro and the Maine National Guard, who've spent years helping strengthen Montenegro’s democratic institutions and building security cooperation.

Huge thanks to Hunger Free America for shedding light on this growing crisis—and to all the elected officials who came out to make their voices heard.

If we can find $4.5 trillion to give tax breaks to the rich and powerful, we can find the money to feed people.

It really is as simple as that.

Remember: The Department of Education was created by Congress. Only an act of Congress can shut it down.

If they get away with this, the impacts will be devastating—on the people these programs serve, and on so many communities that will be forced to pick up the slack (and the tab).

I implore my colleagues in the Senate to follow our lead and vote to make these files public without delay.

And if President Trump is truly serious about transparency, he doesn’t have to wait for Congress. He can release every remaining file today.

The victims deserve nothing less.
