Our Committee heard helpful testimony from medical researchers & health care leaders who shared their research, front line experiences, & recommended solutions for how we can help make sure those most at risk have access to testing, information, & critical health care services. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

Black & Latino Americans are infected with COVID-19 at three times the rate of their white neighbors, & they're nearly twice as likely to die from it. To better understand this disparity—& how we can work to reduce it—I chaired the first Senate hearing on this important issue. https://t.co/8G5H6HD0jb — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

The Senate passed a NDAA amendment I cosponsored with @SenAngusKing to support microchip manufacturers, including @onsemi & @TXInstruments in South Portland. This will help keep U.S. semiconductor companies at the forefront & maintain national security. https://t.co/BtHJSMDayy — PolitiTweet.org

As the Chairman of the Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee, I recently secured $38.1 million to replace & rehabilitate seven bridges across five communities & four counties. Read my column about how this will create much-needed jobs amid COVID-19. https://t.co/NmSTnmVWpW — PolitiTweet.org

$3.2 million has been awarded to Casco Bay Lines to purchase an electric-diesel hybrid engine for its new ferry, which will eliminate 800 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year and reduce engine noise and vibrations. https://t.co/VHcgTVR092 — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud federal law enforcement’s efforts to prioritize fighting fraud against older Americans, such as the Social Security imposter scam. As Chairman of @SenateAging, I'll continue to work to combat this pervasive scam. https://t.co/lOZ7lwkEM7 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

The Aroostook Agency on Aging has been awarded $88,895 to provide critical support to seniors & adults with disabilities, giving them the resources & tools they need to live healthy, independent lives. https://t.co/NDPbmJ7HP2 — PolitiTweet.org

Maine’s buses & ferries create good jobs & are relied upon by schools, camps, tour groups & island residents. COVID-19 has taken a severe toll on these small businesses. A bill @SenJackReed & I authored would provide $10 billion to help them get through this difficult period. https://t.co/SoPuDaQMvF — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

Maine hospitals will receive more than $1.1 million to support ongoing efforts to combat COVID-19. This funding will be used to expand telemedicine, procure critical equipment, & streamline facility coordination efforts. https://t.co/7UXDXxPWF4 — PolitiTweet.org

In 2015, I was honored to be among those who joined him in Selma to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday March which he led. This protest resulted in the passage of the Voting Rights Act. https://t.co/g0Axpfnqho — PolitiTweet.org

With the passing of Congressman John Lewis, America has lost a civil rights icon who changed history at great personal sacrifice. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

I spoke with leaders of Allen’s Blueberry Freezer & Wyman’s about COVID-19's effect on Maine’s blueberry industry. Their success depends on the hard work of our blueberry farmers, whom I worked to ensure are eligible for $16 billion in agricultural aid provided by the CARES Act. https://t.co/2l88MKRNKo — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

This afternoon, @NoLabelsOrg’s bipartisan, bicameral Members of Congress met with @stevenmnuchin1 to discuss the next COVID-19 package, including economic relief and aid to state and local governments. @Sen_JoeManchin and I are the Senate chairs of No Labels. https://t.co/q4EaRC1u2w — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

We should extend & expand the current medical expense deduction as part of the next COVID-19 relief package. This deduction is an important relief tool for the high health care costs that burden many Americans. https://t.co/MBue6noqtA — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

Amid COVID-19, working, studying, & receiving health care online have been difficult for those with limited or no broadband access. @Sen_JoeManchin & I authored a bill to create a program to provide Internet hotspot devices in rural & low-income areas. https://t.co/nndHlekl3l. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

I met with Jenna Mehnert, CEO of @NAMIMaine, to discuss ways to combat the mental health challenges that COVID-19 has exacerbated, including funding for crisis intervention and supports for families and children adjusting to remote learning. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

I spoke with members of Maine Preservation about ways we can strengthen the Historic Tax Credit, which supports projects that revitalize communities & boost economic development. To help manage delays caused by COVID-19, I urged Treasury to extend deadlines related to the HTC. https://t.co/h2u0M41AeY — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

VA @SecWilkie joined me on a conference call I hosted for thousands of Maine veterans to answer questions about the VA. We discussed keeping veterans’ home residents safe during the pandemic, promoting mental health services, and resolving VA benefit issues. https://t.co/rvrETdZGZg — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

When a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available, all Americans—regardless of age, race, income, or location—must be able to access it. @SenJackReed & I are calling for at least $5.6 billion in the next relief package to support vaccine distribution. https://t.co/KhvGiooCrL — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

I visited Jøtul North America in Gorham to meet with employees and receive an update on their exciting research. Jøtul is constantly working to improve wood stoves to keep customers warm while also decreasing energy costs and reducing air pollution. https://t.co/5fmxuYTgEQ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

I visited Moody’s Collision Center in Gorham to meet with employees & provide an update on our response to COVID-19. From making face masks to taking extra precautions, Moody’s has stepped up to meet the challenge. They also received a forgivable loan through the PPP. https://t.co/VHlLxDwo7J — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

I had a great start to the day talking with Michael Foley, Mayor of Westbrook, & Alex Stone, owner of Blazes Burgers, over tea & coffee at the Daily Grind. We discussed how the PPP I co-authored is supporting small businesses & the need to provide funding to our communities. https://t.co/1XvfRAwTu0 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

An additional $1.6 million has been awarded to support the revitalization of Maine small businesses that have suffered financial harm due to COVID-19. I worked to secure this funding in the CARES Act, & I'll continue to advocate for Maine’s communities. https://t.co/SaUlu2ATma — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

Great news! The Administration rescinded its visa rule that would've jeopardized international students' education & harmed colleges & universities, including in Maine. I called for the rescission of this unfair policy that penalized students taking online classes due to COVID-19 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

These food boxes were made possible through a $1.35 million USDA grant. Maine was initially left out of this program that supports local farmers & families facing hardships due to COVID-19. The Maine Delegation successfully urged the USDA to include our state. https://t.co/dt13WHPAbs — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins

I joined @NativeMaine’s dedicated employees in assembling some of the 45,000 food boxes that they will distribute to Maine food banks. Each box contains 25 pounds of fresh produce grown by Maine farmers that will help alleviate hunger for seniors and families in our communities. https://t.co/A11odmWXcu — PolitiTweet.org

Not even the pouring rain could keep me from visiting Simones’ Hot Dog Stand in Lewiston! Jimmy and Linda Simones recently reopened with the help of a forgivable PPP loan. I enjoyed speaking with them and some of their customers over lunch today. https://t.co/766tzsTl3q — PolitiTweet.org
