250 years later, that document continues to serve as our guiding light.
Our founding fathers took an incredible risk by standing up to a king.
I’m proud to have fought for this funding as a part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
These investments will make our roads safer and our communities more livable.
Massachusetts is leading the nation addressing the road safety crisis.
Unfortunately, President Trump’s contribution to this anniversary has been to repair the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool ‘American flag blue’—through a no-bid contract to a clearly unqualified firm.
Delaying the implementation of these rules means that students of all ages will continue to face systemic barriers to a quality education.
I will always work hand-in-hand with Taiwan and our other partners throughout the region to tackle our shared challenges, strengthen security and build a more prosperous future.
Congress must have a steady vision for supporting Taiwan’s democracy and self-defense for the long haul.
Our friendship with Taiwan is bigger than any one President.
As a Pacific nation, we must remain reliable partners to Taiwan—for the sake of their security and our own.
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.

The Trump administration’s military adventurism overseas, combined with its obvious disregard for civilians, do not make the American people or our service members safer.
He should do the right thing, drop out quickly, and give Maine Democrats the opportunity to select a new nominee who can compete and win in November.
Now more than ever we need leaders in Washington who reflect our values. There can be no tolerance for sexual assault.
With so much at stake, the best path forward is for Graham Platner to step aside as the Democratic nominee and address these serious allegations outside this Senate race.
The allegations reported today are incredibly disturbing – violence, abuse and sexual assault are absolutely unacceptable.
