  3. An important, unified message from some of the nation’s top officials responsible for election security. Hope to see more cooperation to confront this threat, as these agencies work to protect our elections and ensure the public has faith in the results.

  4. The economy is foundering; states and localities are facing massive shortfalls; across the country, sick, jobless, and anxious Americans need help.   But President Trump just said, clear as day, that he’s putting politics before aid for those who are suffering.   Unbelievable.

  5. No “I voted” stickers today while casting my ballot, but that’s OK because I still got to make my voice heard. Over the next 28 days, “We the People” are in charge; never let anyone tell you any different. A simple message today: Make A Plan To Vote.

  9. My thoughts are with President Trump and the First Lady, who have joined the more than 7 million Americans who have contracted coronavirus. This is a serious disease, and I wish them the best as they begin their recovery process.

  10. Benjamin Franklin famously said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This bill is rooted in that thought, and it will help more Americans access routine visits to primary care providers, mental health professionals, and substance use counselors.

  11. Too many Americans skip regular check-ups because of co-pays or deductibles – and then have to deal with more serious and costly health problems down the road. That’s why I’ve introduced a bill to ensure that insurance covers routine visits free of charge.

  12. The Trump Administration is cutting the census count short – against a judge’s order – on October 5. Please, complete the census today to ensure your community gets its fair share of resources for roads, schools, and more. Fill it out here:

  13. I unequivocally condemn white supremacy – because the America I know is a country constantly striving to better fulfill the principle that all men and women are created equal.   See, it’s not that hard to say.

  14. If President Trump wants to deny these allegations, he can’t simply wave his hand and attack the reporters – he has to provide proof. The American people deserve accountability and transparency to know that their leader is putting their interests first.

  17. Reminder: Trump and McConnell are rushing to approve a Supreme Court Justice, before the election, in an attempt to destroy the ACA during a global pandemic. If only they moved this fast on coronavirus relief…

  18. The increased reliance on telehealth services and remote work gives Maine an opportunity to become a hub for economic growth now and into the future – if we make sure Maine people can access high-speed, quality, and affordable broadband.

  19. With voting already underway in states across the country, the Senate should pause this process and let the voters weigh in. We were all elected to listen to our constituents; so right now, we should slow down and let them speak.

  20. One week after Election Day, the Trump Administration will argue that the Supreme Court should eliminate the ACA, threatening healthcare for tens of millions of Americans. Before that happens, they want to appoint a potential swing vote to the bench.
