We lost a lion of justice last night. John Lewis fought every day of his life for the simple promise at the heart of the idea of America—liberty and justice for all. Rest in peace; John Lewis; you will never be forgotten. https://t.co/wrJZ6ct6He

Talked with @ReneeCordes at @MaineBiz about the importance of telehealth, the need for increased broadband across the state, and our responsibility to support Maine’s healthcare workers in every way possible. READ: https://t.co/bcsH9m0Cg3

To help enact these layers, we’ve created six pillars of deterrence and more than 75 specific recommendations focused on improving security in both the public and private sectors. Some of our key findings:

There is no silver bullet here, but there may be silver buckshot. America needs to pursue layered cyber deterrence by enhancing our defenses at home, reducing benefits for those who would try to exploit our cyber vulnerabilities, and imposing costs for those who cross the line.

The CSC brought together bipartisan Members of Congress – including my co-chair @RepGallagher, @SenSasse, and @RepLangevin – top executive branch officials, and industry leaders, drawing from the different perspectives we need to face this pressing challenge head on.

America’s tax laws should be applied equally to everyone, no matter their means – but as the IRS’s resources dwindle, the agency is focusing on low-income taxpayers and reducing their audit rate of wealthy Americans. I’m urging the OMB to fix this by funding the IRS: https://t.co/DAZbD9RS9Q

Harmony in the Senate featuring @SenStabenow, @TimKaine, @SenatorWicker and @Chaplain_Black! Taken by @SenDougJones at the Senate Prayer Breakfast, which is pretty much my favorite hour of the week in Washington; an island of reflection and bipartisanship. https://t.co/ooZOdri24L

Today, we remember the horror that shook our country 76 years ago: the attack on Pearl Harbor. That grave day claimed the lives of over 2,000, wounded many others, and plunged the U.S. into WWII. We memorialize their patriotism, bravery, and sense of duty in the face of peril.

Maine’s forests are among our state’s greatest natural assets, and we need to maximize their present and future value to Maine people. To help these forests continue to thrive, we need to work together; that was the spirit of today’s @YourLandCAN's panel. https://t.co/gXGfipRsMo

Our nation doesn’t yet have an effective strategy to deter adversaries from unleashing devastating cyberattacks on our critical infrastructure, from IT to energy. That’s one of the main issues that drive my work on @CyberSolarium. https://t.co/tbKwEdcHYu QT @CyberSolarium: It’s critical that our nation has a plan in the event of a cyberattack, which could have devastating effects on com… https://t.co/G0FUa6oBnH)

Energy efficiency is a win-win that allows consumers to cut monthly costs and reduce their carbon footprint – but large up-front costs have put this path out of reach for too many. Today, I pushed for financing to make it available to more Americans. https://t.co/yEbkh3m15C

Community health centers provide vital health services in Maine – aiding 200,000 patients in Maine. Folks of all ages and backgrounds rely on them, that’s why I’ve joined @RoyBlunt and @SenStabenow in urging Congress to pass sufficient 5-year funding for CHCs. https://t.co/AdNUsSdUV8

The Senate Intel Committee just released a bipartisan report on Russia's attempts to interfere with the 2016 election via social media. One key takeaway: the best way to thwart misinformation is for voters to be aware of the methods and tactics being used. https://t.co/kZaqs9U0N6 QT @SenAngusKing: This week, the Senate Intelligence Committee released the second volume of our bipartisan report, which clearly lay… https://t.co/XAfDAiex09)

Elections are the backbone of America’s democracy, which makes this reminder from @SteveColllinsSJ even more important. Voters must be vigilant about what they read on social media. https://t.co/b3F3t0P4HT

An important and informative day meeting with these military members – including a few from Maine! – to hear their insights and, most importantly, offer our gratitude for their service in defense of our nation.

The USS Gonzalez is a really impressive ship, and for good reason – it was built by the unparalleled workers of Bath Iron Works. Proud to see Maine-made ships playing such a large role in supporting our servicemembers soldiers and ensuring our national defense. https://t.co/Tg5SHZRExu

Each year, 3.5 million people visit @AcadiaNPS – that’s nearly 3 times the population of Maine. Anyone who’s been to Acadia understands why it’s such a popular park – and they also know just how important it is that we protect this wonderful Maine treasure for future generations. https://t.co/ggiLyTbOf3

Acadia is far from the only national park struggling to keep up with increased visitation. That's why I've introduced the Restore Our Parks Act with @SenRobPortman, @MarkWarner, and @SenAlexander to address the deferred maintenance backlog facing @NPS. https://t.co/fepxWncPwH
