I am immensely proud to have supported this bill to deliver help to Maine people in need, and stand ready to continue working with my colleagues and the White House to take any additional action that is needed to beat this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The American people agree that American Rescue Plan is exactly the bill we need to meet this moment, with recent polling showing that 77% of the American public supports this plan, including 6 in 10 Republicans. This rare consensus reflects the immense need being felt by so many. — PolitiTweet.org

…stimulus checks, funding to aid small businesses, a dedicated fund for restaurants, additional resources for school districts, increased support for working families and historic investments to expand broadband access and close the digital divide. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The pandemic has attacked our economy, strained working families, endangered small businesses, and exacerbated longstanding inequalities that have been left unaddressed for decades. The American Rescue Plan confronts these challenges through extended unemployment insurance... — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

This package will address the ongoing public health emergency by providing ample funding to support vaccination, testing, tracing, and other key medical needs that are required to control this virus. But as all Americans know, this crisis did not only affect our nation’s health. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Over the past year, COVID-19 has killed more than 500,000 Americans and exacted a devastating toll on our economy. The American Rescue Plan is the right bill for this moment – and with President Biden’s signature, I'm grateful to tell Maine people that help is on the way. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

From distance learning to remote work to telemedicine, high-speed broadband has been essential during this pandemic – but for too many Maine people, this tool has been out of reach. I’m proud to have worked with my colleagues and the White House to help expand broadband access. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Fantastic news for Maine broadband – the American Rescue Plan includes $10 billion to support broadband across the nation, and will bring more than $100 million here to Maine to close the digital divide. https://t.co/MajK7bQ5ae — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Merrick Garland is eminently qualified to serve as Attorney General, with an impressive judicial record and a depth of knowledge that rivals any legal mind in the nation. He is the right leader for @TheJusticeDept at this moment, and I was proud to support his confirmation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

We're closer than ever to getting the COVID-19 pandemic under control – but with new variants of the virus potentially prolonging this pandemic, we can't let up now. @BillCassidy and I are urging @CDCgov to closely watch these new strains: https://t.co/P4quwTTSq5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Great to talk with the Maine Municipal Association this morning about funding in the American Rescue Plan to support states and localities. These local leaders have provided key services throughout the pandemic, and these funds will help them continue to serve our communities. https://t.co/3ijnfezJX6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

In ~15 minutes I’ll join @AlisynCamerota on @NewDay to discuss the American Rescue Plan’s work to deliver vital relief to communities in need, and the Russian disinformation effort to undermine faith in coronavirus vaccines. Hope you can tune in! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

To confront the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we need to address both the health risks and the economic fallout. This morning, I joined @MorningEdition to discuss the importance of passing the American Rescue Plan. https://t.co/xwAnoOSxe0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Throughout Maine and across the globe, the contributions and leadership of women are invaluable and essential. On this #InternationalWomensDay, we must all recommit ourselves to the work of advancing gender equality all over the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Throughout Maine and across the globe, the contributions and leadership of women are invaluable and essential. On this #InternationalWomensDay, we must all recommit ourselves to the work of advancing gender equality at home and all over the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

RT @rosadelauro: Good news: @SenAngusKing and I have a bill for that! https://t.co/aevgLEHUoj https://t.co/9nM0k14h6F — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The American Rescue Plan will help save lives, support households, stabilize small businesses, lift children out of poverty, make our communities whole, and deliver for our medical and safety professionals. I was proud to support this bill. https://t.co/hsc5IcbtHn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

For a year, America has been devastated by COVID-19 – costing 500,000 lives and inflicting immense economic harm across the nation. That’s why I voted to deliver desperately needed relief where it is urgently needed. My full statement: https://t.co/Ek80vFXm6S — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

I’m proud to work with @SenatorBennet, @Sen_JoeManchin, and @SenRobPortman to create a new baseline broadband standard so Americans of all backgrounds have access to high-speed connectivity that can keep pace with the speed of modern life. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

A slow internet connection isn’t just a nuisance – it’s a barrier that prevents people from work, school or medical attention. The federal government’s standard for “high-speed” broadband is stuck in the slow lane; we need to update this standard. https://t.co/MRHMWs53cz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

On January 6th, the Capitol police were vastly outnumbered, and went without backup for over 3 hours before the National Guard arrived. Clearly, this process needs a fix. Today, I questioned Major General Walker of @DCGuard1802 on how we can ensure this never happens again. https://t.co/em6XPHnKIM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

From Acadia to Zion, America’s national parks are treasures that help Americans of all backgrounds connect with the great outdoors and make lifelong memories; it will be my honor to protect these lands as Chairman of the Subcommittee on National Parks. https://t.co/ekkK8A0iee — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The coronavirus pandemic has exacerbated mental health challenges and substance use disorders across the nation – fortunately, two Maine organizations are receiving more than $6 million to address these threats to our communities. https://t.co/48qFCO2RuG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Maine’s restaurants add personality (and flavor) to our communities and economy —but the pandemic has hit them hard, putting livelihoods and small businesses at risk. That’s why I’m supporting the RESTAURANTS Act to protect these local businesses. https://t.co/K6AeneSfSz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

It was such a pleasure to virtually meet with this year’s Maine Delegates to the Senate Youth Program – Iann Leigh of Bangor and Scott Peterson of Nobleboro. They are bright, dedicated, and energetic – I can’t wait to see what challenges they take on in the future! https://t.co/EqCyxOvh3O — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The coronavirus pandemic has shown just how essential high-speed broadband is to our economy and society – but the digital divide is widening, leaving too many Americans behind. As Congress debates COVID relief, broadband access should be a top priority. https://t.co/b5VBF8tGjG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The @USPS has been a lifeline for so many during this pandemic – but misguided policy changes are undercutting this American institution. This month, @SenGaryPeters and Maine letter carrier Mark Seitz join #InsideMaine to discuss the threats to USPS. https://t.co/0091GeMWDe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Expanding access to the coronavirus vaccine is one of the most important things we can do to bring this pandemic under control and stabilize our economy. I’m committed to working with the White House to address bottlenecks and expedite our national effort. https://t.co/SrFdFJ5X7v — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

This shouldn’t be a short-term fix – it should be the foundation of an effort to promote digital equity. Yesterday, I led a letter with @SenatorHassan and @MarkWarner urging the FCC to use this program to help close the digital divide and expand access to high-speed broadband. https://t.co/MD1Ht9P1NU — PolitiTweet.org
