What we're suffering from now is a real lesson in the importance of weaning ourselves from fossil fuels.

I think, Mr. Chairman, that’s one of the things we need to do, is authorize, Medicare to get much more active in the prevention area.

It’s irresponsible to not be looking at upfront investments that save taxpayer dollars in the long run.

That’s just insane. And so, I think, Mr. Chairman, that’s one of the things we need to do, is authorize, Medicare to get much more active in the prevention area.

For over 250 years, the Postal Service has bound our country together with a constitutionally recognized mail service.

These directives clearly infringe on the states’ and Congress’ constitutional role to regulate the manner in which federal elections are held.

While we have expressed support for improving the operations of the USFS, we believe the reorganization announced on March 31, 2026, may lead to additional capacity and workforce reductions throughout the agency, harming its ability to…

We write with strong concerns regarding the announced reorganization of the U.S. Forest Service (USFS).

Much reduced. That is a fair way of stating it.

It is a fact is it not that we have essentially left all of the role that USAID played on the continent. That's gone? That’s a yes or no question.

I think one facet of our national power off the table, unilaterally, for no apparent reason. The whim of Elon Musk.

Maine’s people have deep roots in the expansive forest economy found throughout our state.

What’s going on now, because of the illegal war in Iran, is drastically affecting our national security.

Using our nation’s semiquincentennial to elevate the profile of the current president risks turning a unifying national milestone into a vehicle for personal promotion.

The U.S. passport has never—and should not now—feature an image of a sitting U.S. president.

We write to express our deep concern regarding the State Department’s reported plans to issue a limited number of specially designed U.S. passports featuring a picture of President Trump to commemorate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s…

Send out 20 or 30 million of these, and you will see the hundred-million-dollar cost of falls fall significantly.

I believe and I would like your view, that a more diverse energy source, particularly one that's based on resources that we control rather than a worldwide price, would be beneficial to the country.

A more diverse energy source, particularly one that's based on resources that we control rather than a worldwide price, would be beneficial to the country.

If $4.30 gas and almost $6 diesel is energy dominance, I'd rather go back to what we had before.

But I think the American people should understand that we have stepped back.

This is, I believe, an existential struggle for the future of democracy where we had an aggressive country invade a neighboring country without any justification whatsoever.

I don't understand why. In terms of the overall budget, in terms of what is being proposed for expenditures in many other areas, why are we cutting the most popular program the federal government runs?

Right now, Medicare will pay for a broken hip, but they won’t pay for a grab bar in your shower. That’s just insane.

This is an $11 bathmat. I’m the Johnny Appleseed of bathmats.
