One of my conservation heroes is Percival Baxter, former Governor of Maine who sought to protect Katahdin. He couldn’t get it through the legislature, but he didn’t give up – after leaving office, he privately acquired the land that would become Baxter State Park. https://t.co/ljDKcngWq4 — PolitiTweet.org

100 years from now, a family will hike the rocky coast of Maine – and they will be able to do so because this week, the Senate is taking action to ensure the protection and survival of America’s public lands by taking up the Great American Outdoors Act. https://t.co/cK7f5PnvgU — PolitiTweet.org

The American people stayed home and sacrificed to slow the spread of coronavirus and give the federal government time to invest in testing, contact tracing, and a plan to allow us to return safely to 'normal'. The people held up their end; the administration did not. https://t.co/mI4hOldn0s — PolitiTweet.org

Full circle. Almost sixty years ago, I marched in a demonstration in Washington for equal justice and heard Martin Luther King tell of his dream at the Lincoln Memorial; today I marched again, same cause, but a new generation around me. https://t.co/SyuBGqkWWt https://t.co/2YbJThCD4p — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we honor those who stormed the beaches of Normandy 76 years ago. The bravery of these great Americans who put their lives at risk to fight the evils of injustice is an example for our nation as we continue to pursue the values they fought and died for. #DDAY2020 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s official: this legislation, which @SteveDaines and I led in the Senate, was just signed into law. These improvements to the Paycheck Protection Program will help give Maine businesses the flexibility they need to weather the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Maine businesses see changes to federal loan program as ‘step in the right direction’ https://t.co/VecGdXhS4x via @bangordailynews
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
The American people deserve the right to peacefully protest; they also deserve to know the affiliation of the law enforcement presence on-site. This menacing tactic seen yesterday doesn’t address the concerns raised in these protests – it reinforces them. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
Americans are in the streets calling for justice, increased transparency, and accountability from law enforcement; in response, the federal government deployed armed guards without nametags or clear affiliations. This is wrong – and counterproductive. https://t.co/ADmCTy6kbK — PolitiTweet.org

These changes will let business owners spend their PPP funds over a longer period time, use a larger percentage of the loan on non-payroll expenses (like rent), and more – because no one knows the needs of a business better than the folks who’ve spent their lives building it. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
Moments ago, the Senate passed my legislation to improve the Paycheck Protection Program and give more flexibility to small business owners trying to navigate the challenges created by the coronavirus pandemic. The PPP has done good work thus far; now, I hope it can do even more. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
the threat to deploy federal troops on US soil against US citizens, among others—and finally, his callous use of a church and the Christian Bible as props in a political stunt which demeaned people of faith, degraded the office of the presidency, and insulted the American people. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
There are many things wrong about the president’s actions this afternoon—his lack of appreciation of the deep and legitimate grievance of black people after the killing of George Floyd and thousands of others over the years, the gratuitous mention of the Second Amendment... — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
The events in Minneapolis this week, and across the nation in recent years, show us the flaws in our justice system. We all must do better, and commit to fighting for equal justice for citizens of every color – in the memory of George Floyd, and so many more. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
The pain and heartbreak in Minneapolis must be a reminder for all that we cannot stand by while injustice spreads. Today and every day, Dr. King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail must ring in the hearts of white Americans and drive us to build a better system. https://t.co/9FASmravlg — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
Today, the House overwhelmingly passed my legislation with @SteveDaines to provide more flexibility to businesses that have received PPP loans. (417-1!) This bill would be a huge help for Maine’s small businesses; the Senate should pass it ASAP. https://t.co/MtSkxis2Pw — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
An accurate #2020Census count is vital to helping rural communities across the nation access the investments they need. Unfortunately, Maine (one of the most rural states) is lagging behind the nation in census response rates. Let’s change that today! https://t.co/ru4T2TRznw — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
Vital funding is coming to Maine to help our state’s workforce amid the economic downturn – $1.5 million will be granted to the state’s Department of Labor to enhance its efforts to support Maine workers who have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/I8opz8BWTO — PolitiTweet.org

This pandemic has made clear just how much we rely on cyberspace to power our economy – and underscored the importance of preparing for a catastrophe before it hits, not after. Now is the time to prepare, so let’s learn our lesson and get to work. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
An important conversation this morning with @hughhewitt and @RepGallagher on the need to implement the recommendations of the @CyberSolarium to improve America’s posture in cyberspace. Read the transcript or listen here: https://t.co/4sDzbiHkol — PolitiTweet.org

Today is a sacred day for Americans – the day we honor those who have lost their lives while serving our nation. Though we can’t come together to honor this #MemorialDay as we usually would, we can be united in spirit and pledge to carry on their legacy of service and sacrifice. https://t.co/L0JPeSU39B — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
The coronavirus pandemic has forced us all to adjust our behavior to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities. On this month’s #InsideMaine, @nirav_mainecdc & @ErinBromage joined me to discuss smart and simple ways to save lives. https://t.co/mJTK2SGIyA — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
A great #MaineTogether via Patrick Cunningham of Hallowell, who’s found a way to support both healthcare workers and local small businesses. Grateful for those who are stepping up to support our communities – and, as always, for our healthcare heroes. https://t.co/aPvNrhhlKE — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
Airing TOMORROW at 10am - On May’s #InsideMaine, @nirav_mainecdc & @ErinBromage will join me to discuss the coronavirus pandemic, health impacts, and how to stay safe. Folks in the Portland area can listen on @WGANNews, or anyone can listen LIVE here: https://t.co/eah14qR1BX — PolitiTweet.org

I urge Mr. Ratcliffe to prove me wrong, and live up to his nonpartisan responsibilities to seek the truth and speak the truth, consequences be damned – because the true act of disloyalty is one that suppresses the truth. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
I voted against John Ratcliffe’s nomination yesterday because he has limited experience with the Intelligence Community, and extensive experience in politics – a dangerous combination for a position that must disregard political considerations. https://t.co/MyTYIfiqvi — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
In the middle of the largest public health and economic threat in a century, the Senate Majority leader prioritized …approving nominees. Over the past 3 weeks, we took ZERO votes to address the coronavirus pandemic; that’s unacceptable and embarrassing. https://t.co/Nk4GXrYUCV — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
The PPP is helping many businesses, but we can and should adjust the program to help it better fit the individual needs of each business for longer if they need that help. This bipartisan effort will build on the good and help keep local institutions alive during this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
This bill, introduced with @SteveDaines, @TimKaine, @SenCoryGardner, @SenStabenow, and @SenThomTillis, would make key adjustments to the PPP, including removing regulations that limit only 25% of loans to address non-payroll expenses, and allowing funds to be used for 24 weeks. — PolitiTweet.org
