For the 28,000 Mainers & millions of Americans living w/ Alzheimer’s, help is on the way. The BOLD Act—legislation I wrote w/
@SenCortezMasto—was signed into law. It provides $100M over 5 years & takes a public health approach to improve Alzheimer’s prevention, treatment, & care.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Good news for the Coast Guard! White House staff called to tell me CG members will receive their paychecks as did other federal employees. I continue to work to end the shutdown, but this will provide immediate relief to CG members & their families.https://twitter.com/SenatorCollins/status/1078779103925415943 …

Military members are paid under a different schedule than civilian employees. The most recent pay period for the military started on Dec. 16 and runs through Dec. 31.

Though the partial shutdown largely doesn’t impact the Defense Department and members of the military in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, the same isn’t true for the U.S. Coast Guard, a Department of Homeland Security subcomponent that lacks full-year 2019 appropriations.

Most federal employees will receive their scheduled paychecks today, but that is not the case for 42,000 Coast Guard members, who will not be paid for pre-shutdown work because they are under a different pay system. This is not fair. I called the WH to urge an immediate fix.

Great news for BIW! The Navy has awarded an additional destroyer to the shipyard, proving once again that “Bath built is best built.” This additional ship will help keep the workload stable in the years ahead for the hardworking men & women of BIW https://www.collins.senate.gov/newsroom/sens-collins-king-and-rep-pingree-announce-contract-award-build-additional-destroyer-bath …

Almost half of federal inmates released from prison are rearrested, & nearly a fourth end up back behind bars. The

There’s no justification for bump stocks that transform semi-automatic weapons into machine guns. That’s why I cosponsored a bill to ban them. I’m pleased the Justice Dept. has announced they will ban these dangerous devices.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-bump-stock-ban-will-soon-be-official/ …
