It was a tremendous honor to be awarded the Army’s Distinguished Public Service Medal. I would like to thank Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth for awarding me this medal, which is the highest public service recognition awarded by the U.S. Army. Throughout my Senate service, and in my... leadership roles on the Senate Appropriations Committee and the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, maintaining a strong national defense has been one of my highest priorities. This commitment not only enhances our national security at a time when we face the most dangerous global security environment in 50 years, but it also supports good-paying jobs at Bath Iron Works, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and elsewhere across the State of Maine.show more

Please do not confirm Pete Hegseth. He is not qualified, or competent to oversee a DOD budget of $8 Billion and supervise more than 2 million active military and civilian defense employees. You know he does not have the experience necessary.

Not a chance in Hell she deserves this. She's giving Hegseth & Gabbard problems? Both Military. Collins is compromised. Makes me question if she was awarded this in order to vote no on them both. For a Republican Senator to oppose Trump's picks is an absolute disgrace.

Primary this Rino now. Time to clean house.

Look at how absolutely decrepit and old this group of women look. Never before have we had so many women representatives and look at the state of our country. this is a fact bitter old women dried up and ready for the old folks home. Primary these things out.

It’s all a show Susan. It’s all a show the American people realize you are an absolute treasonous traitor selling out the American people.

Congratulations Senator. I hope you will vote to confirm @PeteHegseth, who also shares your dedication to ensuring our military is strong. He is what we need right now- not another general straight from the board of a defense contractor, who is more focused on DEI than readiness, innovation, fiscal responsibility, and the defense of our nation against each and every foreign threat.

You DO NOT deserve this.. you are a treasonous POS that needs to be removed from office..

Are you ready to retire? You can count on being primaried. RINO's are worse than Democrats, you know that right, Susan?

Let see if this RINO Senator uses this bogus reward to try and throw @PeteHegseth under a bus. Either way, this loser needs to get thrown out of office in the primaries.
