Maine lawmakers passed a consumer protection bill for AI chatbots and approved it unanimously without a roll-call vote.

A group of Mainers is traveling today to Sen. Susan Collins’ office to share personal stories and urge Congress to boost funding for cancer research—concerns over federal budget cuts that could slow future advances drive the effort. The American Cancer Society Action Network joins over 700 cancer patients, survivors and family members in this advocacy visit.

This proposal aims to modernize our voting process to protect the integrity of Maine's elections.
