While the federal government may not be there for us, I want you to know that the state government is. We take this very seriously. We understand that when a federal government fails, we have to step up, and our local governments deserve…
We’re proud to have secured this funding that will modernize transportation, ease congestion, support economic growth, and create a stronger infrastructure system that can help Virginians move quickly and safely.
From passenger rail services to roads and waterways, countless travelers and goods move through the Commonwealth every day, and Virginia commuters and businesses deserve infrastructure that can keep up.
No other state offers this combination of Arctic proximity, deep-water access, shipbuilding and repair capacity, and Arctic expertise, and Maine is ready to deliver for the Service and its crews.
As the Coast Guard makes homeporting decisions for the cutters still to come, I urge you to make Maine a top choice.
Geography makes the case on its own. Maine is the closest point in the continental United States to the Arctic, giving an Atlantic-based cutter the shortest transit to its operating areas.
The decision to build out an 11-ship fleet is a generational investment in American presence in the high latitudes, and Maine offers the Coast Guard an ideal Atlantic homeport from which to project that presence.
I write to urge that the State of Maine be selected as a homeport for the Service’s new Arctic Security Cutters.
I called the biased media coverage of Trump embarrassing.
Is that because you are negotiating Medicaid Part D with GLP-1s because of your extraordinary work to get pharmaceutical prices down?
Mr. Trump, you’re such a extraordinary man. You look quite handsome, you look like you’ve lost weight.
These press conferences in the Oval Office — you maybe have one or two reasonable reporters, they ask a question, there’s no chance for a follow-up, and then it’s seven sycophants.
We will be the wall he (Trump) cannot get past.
If you violate California’s laws, if you interfere with our voters, tamper with our ballots or meddle in our election, you will be prosecuted.
Florida disagreed with what the court was doing and said so explicitly. In May 2023, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) signed House Bill 1297, which authorized the death penalty for aggravated sexual battery of a child under 12.
I will never stop fighting for Jimmy Lai and I won’t give up until Jimmy is out of prison.
Great news! Thank you @POTUS and @SecRubio for your leadership in securing Pastor Ezra Jin’s freedom.
Truly Treasure in Heaven to see this godly man of faith set free.
The state has more than a dozen large, active wildfires, and then countless other smaller ones.
I'm going to take a real close look at the board of trustees to make sure we’re getting real strong oversight, and they should absolutely walk back what’s claimed to be the 2024 action that moved these decisions to the president.
This proposed settlement helps preserve that advantage by providing rate certainty for families and businesses, strengthening accountability, and supporting the investments needed to keep our electric grid reliable.
We are opening up more state resources as well as Federal Emergency Management Agency funding to support firefighting efforts.
Under this still-developing accreditation agency, universities would no longer need to “bend the knee” to get accredited.
