From Togus to the new Community Based Outpatient Clinic in Presque Isle I visited last week, the professionals at Maine’s VA facilities deliver high-quality care to our veteran community. @SecVetAffairs and I commended their work in yesterday’s Senate Veterans' Affairs hearing.

Tonight, on Passover, we ask the question: Why is this night different than all other nights? This night reminds us of the Jewish people’s resilience and triumph over great adversity. From my family to yours, Chag Pesach Sameach! 🫓✡️

Traumatic brain injuries are an invisible wound carried by too many of our men and women in uniform — endangering their health, and also the safety of their loved ones and communities. I urged the Army Secretary to protect and care for those who serve.

Deterrence alone is not enough to combat terrorist organizations intent on harming innocent civilians. In a SASC hearing, I made clear we must prioritize technology that detects when terrorist organizations or cells acquire nuclear weapons.
