    It is essential that the Ukrainians have the resources they need to defend their airspace and protect civilians from indiscriminate Russian attacks. This morning, I questioned our nation’s top military intel official about the need to send more aircraft to Ukraine.

    The U.S. has been purchasing tens of millions of dollars’ worth of Russian oil daily. Following a bipartisan effort I joined, that ends now. Cutting off this key source of revenue, as Ukrainian President Zelensky requested, will put more pressure on Putin.

    In addition to rapidly passing a military & humanitarian aid package, the U.S. should ban American imports of Russian oil; revoke Russia’s most-favored-nation status; & send more anti-tank & anti-aircraft missiles, drones, & other lethal weapons as well as non-lethal supplies.

    The Olympics also showcased the legendary craftsmanship of Mainers. The footwear worn by Team USA at the opening and closing ceremonies was made in Lewiston. Maine is so proud of our impressive athletes—and the Mainers who outfitted them!

    I recently urged the Navy Secretary to name a DDG-51 destroyer after this Medal of Honor recipient. In a letter signed by Maine’s entire Delegation & , we emphasized that MSG Gordon’s story is one that should be honored by naming a BIW-built ship the USS Gary Gordon

    U.S. Navy ships bear the names of those who demonstrated exceptional valor. There’s no doubt that fallen Maine hero MSG Gary Gordon—a Lincoln, Maine, native—is deserving of this honor. His extraordinary sacrifice was made famous by the book & movie Black Hawk Down.

    New gear requirements scheduled to go into effect on May 1 will add to this burden, despite the fact that compliant gear is either not currently available or incredibly scarce. I urged to push back the implementation of this rule to help support the industry.

    The shortage of COVID-19 tests was preventable. Congress provided $82.6 billion for testing, but a lack of federal orders in 2021 forced manufacturers to reduce output and lay off workers. I pressed on why the Administration reallocated funding intended for testing.

    For 70+ years, broadcasting legend Dewey DeWitt was the “Voice of Aroostook County.” The hallmark of his career was his devotion to local sports, especially high school basketball. Whenever I visited Houlton, I loved to see Dewey. I will deeply miss these chats with my friend.

    Harry Reid was a skilled and tenacious legislator. Although we disagreed on many issues, we also found areas where we were able to collaborate such as supporting community health clinics. My condolences to his wife Landra, his children, and his dedicated former staff.
