Broadband is an essential part of 21st century life – especially during this pandemic. I’m thrilled by this move from the @FCC and @JRosenworcel, which will help ensure that more Americans can access the internet’s opportunities, no matter their income. https://t.co/f0ZLE7tNXb — PolitiTweet.org

Also on today’s call, I congratulated Dominic LaJoie of Van Buren for his appointment as President of the National Potato Council for 2021! I’ve long been impressed by Dominic’s passion, knowledge, and hard work – I know he’ll be succeed in this new role. https://t.co/Qeb56sCLrZ — PolitiTweet.org

Maine’s potato farms are a source of state pride, and economic engines in our rural communities – we need to make sure they continue to thrive. Today, I met with members of the Maine Potato Board to discuss how we can support this industry and the people who rely on it. https://t.co/Uk2Zh0xs9A — PolitiTweet.org

Following yesterday’s hearing on the SolarWinds hack, I joined @Morning_Joe to discuss the ways America can address its cybervulnerabilities – including a strong policy of deterrence, partnerships with the private sector, and increased international cooperation.

I’ll join @Morning_Joe in ~15 minutes to discuss yesterday’s hearing with security officials on the intelligence failures that led to the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, and what reforms are needed to make sure this can’t happen again. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Cyberdeterrence is essential to national security – our adversaries need to know that if they try launch a cyberattack at the United States, they will pay a price. https://t.co/yoVvfoH3Ze — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The Great American Outdoors Act, which passed last year, is one of the most consequential conservation laws of the last century – but execution is just as important as vision. Today, I pressed @DebHaalandNM on the need to ensure this law is effectively implemented. https://t.co/5y3JsZKC7h — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

500,000 Americans have died from coronavirus – half a million, gone forever, leaving loved ones and communities behind to mourn their passing. Today, we remember those who we have lost, and remind each other to be safe and slow the spread. #WearAMask, save a life. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

It was a pleasure to join @jbarro, @ddayen, and @herandrews on “Left, Right and Center” to share the thinking of Senate moderates as we help shape the COVID-19 relief package making its way through Congress. @LRCkcrw is a lively listen, and even more fun to participate in. — PolitiTweet.org

If you haven’t signed up for healthcare already, the Special Enrollment Period will be open until May 15th. If you have a moment this weekend, browse through the best coverage options for you and your family on https://t.co/MxZm2w64o7 and #GetCovered! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Maine people and business alike rely on the @USPS to deliver medications, packages, and personal mail – especially during the pandemic. Higher rates and slower service are simply unacceptable; the Postmaster General must reverse course. https://t.co/zbaR4PFU6c — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The coronavirus pandemic has fueled another public health crisis – last year, Maine lost a record number of people to drug overdoses. Heartbreaking; we must do so much more to support our friends and neighbors battling substance use disorders. https://t.co/fp0Kg8NKfK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

With millions of Americans losing their jobs and employer-based health insurance due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, President Biden has opened a Special Enrollment Period for the ACA through May 15. If you need to sign up for coverage, visit https://t.co/MxZm2w64o7! — PolitiTweet.org

I loved George Smith — a passionate advocate for the outdoors, and a dear friend. Mary and I are deeply saddened by his loss, and our hearts are with his family. George: thank you for the lands you protected and adventures you inspired. Your legacy lives on. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The insurrection at the Capitol would not have happened 'but for’ Donald Trump’s lies about the election’s legitimacy and his repeated calls for supporters to gather in Washington on January 6. For that reason, I voted to convict. My full statement: https://t.co/go4SfcFr7q — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Cyberattacks are an evolving, complicated threat to America’s national security, but our current cyber defenses are inadequate. That's why the @CyberSolarium is so committed to working with the public and private sector to strengthen our cybersecurity. https://t.co/QWr9uE32vN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The House managers’ presentations are straightforward: raw video and verbatim tweets that spell out the dangers at the Capitol on Jan. 6, the ongoing threat to our democratic system, and the importance of accountability. https://t.co/3ZA1ixftyo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

A “Made in USA” label helps inform consumers that they’re purchasing a quality product and supporting American jobs. Unfortunately, varied state regulations are creating a confusing, costly patchwork approach; it’s time to streamline the process. https://t.co/5Vtx6H6LqN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Through powerful words and raw video, House managers today made an impressive case that lays bare how truly dangerous the events of January 6th were for both members of Congress and our democratic system. We need accountability. https://t.co/W3VZmCAbVD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Underserved rural communities cannot be left behind in our fight to control the coronavirus pandemic. Last week, I joined a bipartisan group of Senators pushing for funds to be quickly disbursed to these rural regions. https://t.co/DgEPoWoATx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

In the days ahead, the Senate is about to embark on the first impeachment case in American history where the jurors are also eyewitnesses. I have taken an oath to ‘do impartial justice,’ and I will take that oath seriously. My full statement: https://t.co/Hvmhrbuqcl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The VA needs strong, experienced leadership to ensure that veterans in Maine and across the country get the high-quality care they have earned. I believe Denis McDonough is up to the task, and I was proud to support his confirmation as Secretary of Veterans Affairs today. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Maine families, communities, and businesses have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. They need relief – now.… https://t.co/b83Hs79Ipo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Crystal Waugh made a lasting impact on her community, helping so many Maine people enter recovery. Our state has lost yet another leader in the fight against substance use disorders; may we all honor her memory and carry on her work to end this epidemic. https://t.co/6vh2WSKr7I — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

If you’re looking for a good weekend listen, check out my conversation with @bryancurtis and @thepressboxpod on life being covered by the Capitol Hill press corps and the need to improve our national media literacy. https://t.co/t0YLCdCTT5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

It is critical that the next generation of leaders understands the complexity of the challenges ahead. I left the conversation impressed by the depth of knowledge from these Maine students; I’m confident that our state and our nation will benefit greatly from their contributions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

From the threats of climate change and new national security risks to the opportunity of innovative economic activity, the Arctic will be central to Maine future. Thrilled to meet with Auburn students this week to discuss this region’s growing importance. https://t.co/cr3WEEd75c — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

For months, the American people have been crying out for relief; this morning’s vote is a strong step toward meeting that need and addressing the pandemic's impacts. I hope this vote will lead to more substantive bipartisan negotiations in the days ahead. https://t.co/2xn2AiIFsq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Maine’s logging industry has played a vital role in our state's rural communities for generations – but the pandemic has brought new challenges for this storied economic sector. Proud to join the Maine delegation in pushing Congress to provide aid. https://t.co/n4HKQqH0n4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

In the midst of a tough Maine winter and a once-in-a-generation public health crisis, it is essential that we support the LIHEAP program and make sure Maine families can heat their homes without sacrificing other necessities. https://t.co/pvbA3ilVMo — PolitiTweet.org
