Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker - I walked out. Senate Republicans just proved they are only here for the bidding of Donald Trump. SHAMEFUL

Secretary Doug Burgum @SecretaryBurgum - Spent the day on Alcatraz Island, a @NatlParkService site, to start the work to renovate and reopen the site to house the most dangerous criminals and illegals.
This administration is restoring safety, justice, and order to our streets. @Interior & @TheJusticeDept are following a directive by @POTUS to help lead that mission.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski - A few hours ago, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off the Alaska Peninsula, just south of Sand Point. Local residents and summer visitors alike were able to evacuate thanks to federal tsunami advisories relayed through local public broadcasting stations.
That’s the real world. But here in the U.S. Senate, we are currently debating a rescissions package that would severely cut funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, drastically affecting Alaska’s 27 public media stations and many more across the nation.
Some colleagues claim they are targeting “radical leftist organizations” with these cuts, but in Alaska, these are simply organizations dedicated to their communities. Their response to today’s earthquake is a perfect example of the incredible public service these stations provide. They deliver local news, weather updates, and, yes, emergency alerts that save human lives.
I want to thank KMXT in Kodiak, KUCB in Unalaska, and KSDP in Sand Point for giving Alaskans real-time updates and keeping us safe.
The tsunami warnings are now thankfully canceled, but the warning to the U.S. Senate remains in effect. Today of all days, we should vote down these misguided cuts to public broadcasting.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski - We are lawmakers. Our responsibility is to legislate, not to shrug our shoulders and take direction from the White House.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn @MarshaBlackburn - A shocking report this week revealed that Microsoft has been using engineers in China to help maintain the Defense Department’s computer systems for nearly a decade.
This is a massive national security risk, and @Microsoft needs to end these operations immediately.

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins - This week, Senator Tina Smith and I introduced a bill to reauthorize our Kay Hagan Tick Act so that we can continue to support important research, diagnostics, prevention, and treatment of tick-borne diseases by providing targeted funding for state health departments and regional Centers of Excellence.
Earlier this year, I spoke at the Center for Lyme Action Congressional Series about the progress we have made thanks to Kay Hagan Tick Act, including the first-ever clinical trial for a Lyme disease vaccine for humans, which is underway right now at the MaineHealth Institute for Research. With Lyme disease cases hitting a record high of more than 3,000 last year in the State of Maine, this reauthorization is urgently needed.

Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins - It’s not every day that I have the opportunity to meet with another Susan Margaret Collins. That made my conversation with Boston Federal Reserve Bank President Dr. Susan M. Collins all the more enjoyable as we discussed monetary policy and the economic outlook for New England and the nation.
