In the days ahead, I hope that the large, veto-proof majorities which initially supported this legislation will come together once again to override the President’s veto – for the good of our servicemembers and our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

This NDAA is the single-most comprehensive piece of cybersecurity legislation ever passed by Congress; as we work to determine the harm done by the recent cyber incursion, the provisions in this legislation would be a shield against future tactics by our foes worldwide. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

By vetoing the overwhelmingly-bipartisan NDAA, President Trump is denying a pay raise for our nation’s servicemembers, undermining our national security, and threatening Maine jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

A new record high, two days before Christmas. This holiday season, please be safe and smart — for yourself, and your loved ones. Wear a mask, remain socially distant, and avoid unnecessary gatherings. — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight, President Trump pardoned political cronies who lied to cover up for him; elected officials who enriched themselves on the taxpayers’ dime; and Blackwater contractors who killed innocent Iraqi civilians. This is not “law and order;” it is straight-up corruption. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Maine dawn; I’ve had this shot for weeks but wanted to wait for the right time to post it. Last night, Congress passed critical COVID-19 relief – there are important provisions missing from the bill, but it's a bipartisan step in the right direction. https://t.co/EQ7aQQCFhM https://t.co/YhSSHqYGJ7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

This bill will do a lot of good, for a lot of people, but it is not enough. There is more work to do, and I hope that in the months ahead we will continue to negotiate in a bipartisan spirit to provide additional support to people in need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

For months, the American people have been calling for a new coronavirus relief package. Today, after extensive bipartisan efforts and negotiation, we have reached an agreement to help our citizens in need weather the cold, dark winter ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

TUNE IN: At 5pm, I’ll be joining @NicolleDWallace to discuss the serious hack of our government’s IT infrastructure, as well as the bipartisan COVID relief agreement scheduled for a vote within hours. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

For decades, Maine Veterans’ Homes has helped our state fulfill our duty to care for our veterans. This week, Congress passed legislation to ensure they have the flexibility needed to continue to support Maine veterans. https://t.co/SOBjxrYCqA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The 2021 National Defense Authorization Act – containing key @CyberSolarium provisions to defend our country from cyberattacks – is sitting on @RealDonaldTrump’s desk. Mr. President, this is a critical moment. Please sign this bill. https://t.co/9eG2Z9CNEz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

I’ll be joining @DanaBashCNN ~12:15pm to discuss the latest on the recently revealed cyberhacks, and the importance of signing this year’s NDAA – and its 26 @CyberSolarium provisions – into law to bolster our cyberdefenses. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The NDAA includes 26 recommendations from @CyberSolarium to strengthen our nation’s cyber defenses. Given the recently revealed cyber hacks, it is more critical than ever that the President sign this bipartisan bill into law. https://t.co/wcBme0fSIY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Tune in: I’ll be joining @npratc at ~5:30 to discuss the latest cyber hacks, and the next steps Congress and the executive branch need to take in order to shore up our cyber defenses. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The recently revealed cyber hacks are what we’ve feared: our adversaries accessed our networks, without our knowledge. That’s why we must seriously strengthen our nation's cyberdefenses, starting by getting the NDAA – and its 26 @CyberSolarium recommendations – enacted into law. https://t.co/5wVtqjMEtT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

At ~8:15, I’ll join @JohnBerman on @NewDay to discuss Congress’s push to pass bipartisan coronavirus relief legislation. Hope you can tune in! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

A pleasure to connect with folks from @MaineChamber today to discuss the challenges facing our state’s small businesses, and the bipartisan work being done in the Senate to help these community cornerstones survive the long winter ahead. https://t.co/VYY4DGNMNs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

There it is — a light at the end of the tunnel. Thrilled to see this ray of hope, but we must remember that we’re not done with this pandemic yet. Please, keep taking precautions so we can protect our communities until the vaccine is widely available. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

This legislation should be viewed as a starting point, to get us through the worst of the long winter ahead – and in the next several months, Congress should continue negotiating in an effort to prepare additional relief legislation this coming spring. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

I support this measure because the American people are in desperate need of relief, and they don’t have time for months of Congressional haggling; they need action, now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Our agreement is far from perfect; however, we don’t have time to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. When you look at our initial framework, this final agreement isn’t a glass that’s half full – this glass is eighty percent full. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

In addition, this legislation will strengthen our public health infrastructure as healthcare providers across the country prepare to deliver vaccine doses in the months ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

This agreement extends unemployment benefits for workers who’ve lost their jobs due to the pandemic’s economic impact, and provides another crucial lifeline for the nation’s small businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

After weeks of negotiations marked by good-faith efforts on both sides of the aisle to strike a compromise, today we have reached an agreement that would provide hundreds of billions of dollars for Americans who are struggling. https://t.co/9pcEFX7iQV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

This year’s holiday season looks different for millions of Americans, as traditions change and families stay apart. These companies have an opportunity to encourage Americans to stay home – slowing the virus’s spread – and boost national spirits during this festive time of year. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Each of us needs to do what we can to stop the spread of coronavirus during this challenging surge. That’s why I’m proposing the #SeasonsStreaming idea to @Netflix, @Hulu, @PrimeVideo, @HBOMax, @AppleTV, and @DisneyPlus. https://t.co/eq3OVXETOT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Borrowed a line from @WolfBlitzer to remind you that TOMORROW is the last day to sign up for health coverage through the ACA. There is *really* no time to waste – sign up today at https://t.co/Kwx0nN3WmS to protect yourself and your loved ones. #GetCovered https://t.co/dRakj18L3e — PolitiTweet.org

Studies show that childhood trauma can lead to poor health outcomes later in life – so as the pandemic continues to upend routines for children and raise anxiety levels, we need to better understand the long-term effects of adverse childhood experiences. https://t.co/k2N5wUuJoe — PolitiTweet.org
