Veterans deserve a responsible VA—and that starts with accountability within the organization.

That's why I secured confirmation that VA staff who report misconduct remain protected from retaliation—despite rumors of restrictive NDAs being considered.

Senator Angus King says he secured confirmation that whistleblower protections remain intact at the VA.

The new Rachel Carson Center for People & Nature is a reminder that conservation & education go hand in hand.

This center will help connect future generations to the outdoors while showcasing the natural beauty & wildlife that make our state so special.

The 12,000-square-foot facility will serve as both an educational resource for visitors and central offices for staff and volunteers who manage the 11 refuge properties spread across York and Cumberland counties.

Intelligence only works when analysts evaluate the facts and tell the truth.

After a nominee spoke about the importance of independent analysis and the willingness to tell policymakers what they don't want to hear, his response to my follow-up question was disappointing.

Investing in first responders boosts our workforce and makes communities safer.

At the York County Regional Training Center, I saw how federal dollars are helping train the next generation of firefighters, EMTs, dispatchers, & law enforcement officers.

This Memorial Day, I hope you’ll pause for a moment and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Celebrate with friends and family, but be mindful of the men and women who made it all possible.

Prevention measures like an $11 bath mat could save Americans tens of thousands of dollars.

If Medicare would send these out to every recipient in America, I’ll bet the investment would pay for itself in under a year.

Building American warships in South Korea or Japan is the worst idea since the Red Sox traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees.

We have the skilled workers, the shipyards, and the know-how right here in America — especially at Bath Iron Works.

Maine Senator Angus King is speaking out about plans to build American warships overseas.

A reconciliation bill is a fast-track budget bill that lets the Senate pass certain spending & tax changes with a simple majority.

However, there are strict rules about how this works. That’s where something called a “Byrd Bath” comes in.

Here's a Civics in 60 to help explain⬇️

Maine veterans deserve timely, quality care — done in a safe and professional environment.

Cutting police positions at Togus and chalking it up to bureaucracy is wrong. I will continue pushing to ensure our vets receive the care and support they earned.

Senator Angus King is raising concerns.

I am monitoring the reports tracking the explosion at Robbins Lumber in Searsmont, and commend the brave first responders who are now on the scene helping workers and their families. I have visited this mill frequently and my heart goes out to Jim Robbins and his family, the workers, and the Searsmont community.

For your safety and the well-being of our wider Maine community, please follow the guidance of local emergency personnel.
