No words can fully convey the depth of our respect for Gold Star families, but now Brunswick is home to a memorial that marks our commitment to easing their grief and honoring their loved ones. Earlier today I was humbled to help dedicate this sacred site.

The idea that the Administration would reverse its policy of family separation to show "compassion" but not attempt to return the 2000+ children who have already been taken makes no sense. These kids still need their parents, and should be reunited with them immediately.

This move is overdue but far from a long-term fix. I’ve heard from thousands of Maine people on this subject and I know that, we as a Nation, can find a way to both protect our border and protect children and families seeking asylum.

I’m glad that the President finally recognized two important facts about his family separation policy: first, this crisis was unnecessary and he has the power to correct it on his own; second, separating children from their parents is incongruent with American values.

These kids are not bargaining chips – they are kids. And they should be with their parents. Mr. President: make the call, and end this policy. pic.twitter.com/Sfnb5HG6yX

The Administration’s policy of separating families at the border is simply wrong, and could be solved today by a phone call from the President to the Attorney General. Last night, I spoke on the Senate floor against this cruel policy. You can watch part 1 of my remarks here…. pic.twitter.com/UmJWuP5EAG

I can’t imagine anything more wrong, or less American, than separating a mother and her baby. I’ve urged the President to end this policy, cosponsored the Keep Our Families Safe Act to prohibit the practice, and will continue pushing for action. cnn.com/2018/06/12/us/…

The Affordable Care Act is the law of the land, and helps millions of Americans with preexisting conditions access care – but the Justice Department is refusing to defend it in court. This is cruel, plain and simple – and if the DOJ won’t speak up in defense of the ACA, I will. pic.twitter.com/SljJ2EY6V2

LIVE on the Senate floor to discuss the misguided new FDA regulation that would be required to include “added sugar” on the label of pure maple and honey products – even though producers of these products don’t *add any sugar.* WATCH: facebook.com/14280304587494…

History is condensed experience – a roadmap we can use to confront current challenges and prepare for future success. These Maine students understand that, and are in Washington to compete in the National History Day Contest; it was my pleasure to welcome them to the Capitol. pic.twitter.com/EiCZ2aBntx

The biggest message these advocates shared is the importance of destigmatizing suicide by facilitating safe and open conversation about risk factors and statistics. Suicide victims are our family members, friends, and neighbors – and they need our help.

Today, I met with Maine representatives of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (@afspnational) to discuss life-saving solutions – because, with suicide rates in Maine up 27.4% in the last 20 years, there is much work to be done to improve access to mental health care.

Suicide has recently been at the forefront of national discussions. But this isn’t a new problem – it’s ongoing, and it’s claiming lives of Maine people while leaving behind devastated families and communities unsure about how to prevent tragedies like this in the future.
