A third of today's Americans are too young to have any memory of 9/11. For them, the 9/11 Memorial is making a new digital learning experience available starting tomorrow. We said we'd never forget—and part of that charge is making sure the next generation remembers too. 911memorial.org/DLE

Two nights ago, Russia sent nearly 700 drones and dozens of missiles at Ukrainian civilians. In the fifth year of the war, aerial attacks on Ukrainian civilians have become even more intense and more frequent. Please join me in this campaign for air defense equipment. You can help protect lives.

Donald Trump increases the defense budget last year from $874 billion to $1 trillion. He says he wants $1.5 trillion this year. Now he wants $50 billion more for his Iran War. Every Democrat should be screaming about the military budget, not cutting deals to keep raising it.

Two things can be true at the same time. I’m glad Ayatollah Ali Khomeni is gone. But I’m also not happy the president started a war unilaterally without congressional approval. I’m against this war and mourn the deaths of our soldiers and the innocent Iranian citizens, especially the children.

On every important vote that matters, Susan Collins votes with Trump. Every time her vote could stop something he’s trying to do, she votes with him. She is a fake moderate with a MAGA voting record. A vote for Susan Collins is a vote to give Trump more power.
