Fentanyl destroys communities and families, and we need to do EVERYTHING we can to stop the flow of this and other dangerous drugs through the southern border. I’m proud to see that my bipartisan bill to crack down on drug smuggling at the border will soon become law. https://t.co/IectdGjEFP

Maine loses more than one life a day to deadly opioids, with most tracing back to China & Mexico. When intelligence officials testified yesterday, I questioned them on what they're doing to protect our communities & stressed why the House should pass the FEND off Fentanyl Act. https://t.co/5EhCwt8JOP
This is really good news. More funding for prevention, treatment and recovery, and more money for interdiction of fentanyl at the border. Fentanyl is the crisis of our generation. @ONDCP @DrGupta46 https://t.co/RTdEFcjuW5
In case you missed it, last week the House passed my bipartisan bill, the END FENTANYL Act, to modernize outdated @CBP policies addressing the opioid epidemic. Too many families have lost loved ones to this deadly drug, and we must act now. https://t.co/YyyQvgI4DB
