Thank you @SenAngusKing and @SenatorCollins for working across the aisle to prioritize bringing high-speed internet to unserved communities in Maine and making sure we use all available technologies to do it.

Unemployment Modernization Act requires Maine to adopt California’s disastrous ABC test w/o any of CA's exemptions. The test hasn’t worked in CA and will hurt businesses throughout ME. @SenAngusKing and @SenatorCollins please oppose the ABC test.

Grateful to have @SenatorCollins’ leadership fighting to bring high-speed internet to all of Maine and pushing for a broadband benefit so every Mainer can afford it.

Mayorkas is the right person to lead DHS - his experience is needed to manage our 3rd largest federal agency during this pandemic - @SenatorCollins

It’s encouraging to see that LS6 is ready to resume contract talks with @GDBIW. Hopefully they’ve realized that the best way to support union jobs is for the shipyard to get back on schedule and start winning contracts again. #BathBuiltBestBuilt https://t.co/wPtpN8b04H
