Prevention measures like an $11 bath mat could save Americans tens of thousands of dollars. If Medicare would send these out to every recipient in America, I’ll bet the investment would pay for itself in under a year.

Only Congress holds the authority to change the name of federal departments. Full stop. America hasn’t had a “Department of War” since WWII. If you're talking about having been nominated to work for the Department of War, you're 78 years too late.

Today I again voted to re-open the government, resume vital services for Maine people, put people back to work, feed the hungry and secure an opportunity to avoid a harmful hike in health care costs.

We are in the middle of the biggest Constitutional crisis our nation has ever seen & every day we're inching further from the democracy our founders created. Now is not — and cannot be — the time to stand idly by. I'm urging my colleagues to wake up & protect this institution.

I voted to keep the government open because a shutdown will give President Trump the ability to do far greater damage. More here ⬇️

In the '30s, the Nazis launched a propaganda campaign in America to shift public opinion on the war in Europe. Today, Russia is using these same tactics to influence U.S. support for Ukraine. I asked Secretary Austin if he sees this campaign as a threat to American interests.

This bill is literally taking food out of the mouths of children to give tax breaks to millionaires. It's wrong and it's immoral. I'm urging all my colleagues to vote no so we can start over and work together to deliver a responsible, bipartisan spending bill.

We can fund the TSA. We can fund FEMA. We can fund CISA. We can fund the Coast Guard. Then we can talk through our differences on reining in the tactics of ICE and CBP to better protect Americans. I hope my colleagues support this approach the next time it comes up for a vote.

Today I’m introducing the #GOSAFE Act — a bill that will work to reduce mass shootings while protecting responsible gun ownership for law-abiding Americans. Saving lives now and in the future is my single goal, full stop.

If anyone is “winning” America’s war in Iran, it would be Vladimir Putin. As the United States, Israel, and Iran military strikes cause the price of oil to spike, it’s meant $6 billion more in Russian oil sales. In the meantime, American troops remain in harm's way.

If a tactic isn’t working, you switch your approach — especially when millions of Americans are hurting. This new agreement would keep SNAP benefits flowing & ensure workers get paid, all while providing an opportunity to protect ACA tax credits. My thoughts with The Situation Room ⬇️

This White House claims it’s the most transparent in history, yet for months I've asked the VA to share its list of the 585 contracts it claims to have canceled. But the best I've gotten is an incomplete list riddled with errors. It's unacceptable and an insult to our veterans.

Every time I ask a question to those on the Signal chain about whether classified information was shared, I get slippery semantics. This was a reckless breach of security at the hands of our top national security officials. Responsibility needs to be taken. Period.

Today’s fatal ICE shooting in Maine has raised more questions than answers. I called on DHS Secretary Mullin to launch a full, fair, and transparent investigation—and I’m going to hold him to his word there will be one.

The VA has a list of 585 contracts they've cancelled, impacting veteran care. Have they shown us the list despite numerous requests? No. Today, VA Secretary Doug Collins refused to answer my direct questions about that list — further raising my concerns about the VA's lack of transparency.

As Governor, I approached every issue with one basic question: what’s the problem we’re trying to solve? The SAVE America Act seeks to solve a problem that barely exists - voter fraud is much rarer than being hit by lightning - and instead, disenfranchises millions.

Ahead of the overnight votes, I wanted to share my worries for Maine with this bill: ⚕️ ~60K people without health insurance 🍎 ~30K people losing all or part of their SNAP benefits 📈 3T+ added to the U.S. debt ➕ So much more This bill isn't just irresponsible, it's cruel.

The vote today comes down to two really bad choices, but I’ve decided to keep the federal government open because a shutdown would open the door to unprecedented, lasting damage.
