As Maine and other states suffer horrific losses in our families and communities, we need to acknowledge the incredible severity and direness of the situation. “But a declaration will do nothing on its own. The President needs to follow it with concrete action. Namely, he should call on Congress to provide emergency appropriations to increase resources for treatment and recovery services and ceasing his efforts to take health-care coverage away from millions of Americans, including those seeking help for substance use.” Earlier this week, Pingree joined a group of colleagues in urging President Trump to take bipartisan action to address the national crisis. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
