Maine lobsters are world-renowned – but due to trade disputes, too many markets are closed to our state’s 🦞 industry. I joined @SenatorCollins and @chelliepingree to urge @USTradeRep to press for an E.U. trade deal that opens doors for this Maine icon. https://t.co/Ddiy20FMoR — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. can’t tackle climate change alone – and we don’t have to. Let’s rejoin the 197 nations who have signed the Paris Climate Agreement and reassert America’s global leadership in the fight against climate change. https://t.co/VBHoiQkgio — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
An enlightening dialogue, but the most important part was the participants. Our young people are the ones who will have to deal with the effects of climate change – and they’re leading the way to make sure that we treat this threat with the necessary urgency. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
An excellent conversation this morning with Maine members of @CitizensClimate focused on ways to address the impacts of climate change. We talked about the new bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus and how to best energize the public and elected officials to drive action. https://t.co/EYy0AdKPAx — PolitiTweet.org

I've cosponsored the SAFE Banking Act, which would enable these businesses to access the same financial tools as any other legal enterprise. We need to update our laws and stop hindering the growth of this legal industry. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
Maine’s hemp farmers are building businesses the right (and legal) way, but outdated federal regulations are blocking their access to vital financial services. This is backwards – we should be encouraging new businesses, not holding them back. https://t.co/CmGcLMdICb — PolitiTweet.org

Our responsibility to honor the service of Maine’s veterans is not limited to one day. The Veteran Mentors of Maine work every day to help veterans who are struggling get back on track; today I joined them in Waterville to celebrate their impact on our state. https://t.co/GOFSBB7N1J — PolitiTweet.org

The Fisher House on the Togus VA Medical Center campus a provides a home for veterans and their families while they seek treatment and recover. Healing can be a long process, and it’s vital to have your support network close by. https://t.co/4uKkzQwhza — PolitiTweet.org

First stop this morning: the Martin’s Point Veterans Day Breakfast, where I joined Portland community members and healthcare providers to honor the service of Maine veterans, their caregivers, and their families. https://t.co/R7M5DOXmUU — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
On Veterans Day, it is my privilege to honor all the men and women who answered the call to serve in defense of our nation. I’ll be traveling across Maine today to thank the Maine veterans who have sacrificed to ensure our freedoms — they truly represent the best of America. https://t.co/mTzSJRa92T — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
The clock is ticking to make sure you and your loved ones have access to health coverage through the ACA. Open enrollment closes on December 15th – and with the holidays ahead, that day will be here before you know it. So get started today! https://t.co/ns5uWfXgKw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
The opioid epidemic is the worst public health crisis I’ve seen in my adult life; to fight back, we need all hands on deck. I’m thrilled that a new federal grant will allow @unetweets to give medical students the tools they need to join this effort. https://t.co/WyT45J3Qvv — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
Maine’s forests are among our state’s greatest natural assets, and we need to maximize their present and future value to Maine people. To help these forests continue to thrive, we need to work together; that was the spirit of today’s @YourLandCAN panel. https://t.co/wzvaTaMxgi — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump’s repeated public attacks on the whistleblower threaten to create a chilling effect that undermines America’s history of protecting those who speak truth to power. My op-ed in @Newsweek: https://t.co/rb84xQTBAM — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
It’s always haunted me, though, that somewhere in America, another young person who had my condition but not my insurance didn't catch their disease in time for treatment. I’m living proof that a checkup can save your life, and I'm fighting to help every American access them. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
This is a personal issue for me. When I was a young man, I went to the doctor for a checkup covered by insurance and received some bad news; I had a serious, and potentially life-threatening, form of skin cancer. If that checkup wasn't covered, I wouldn't be here today. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
Access to primary care saves lives, which is why yesterday I introduced a bill to help folks enrolled in high deductible health plans get covered for two yearly visits to their primary care physicians. https://t.co/TAlGkBQK7x — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
That wraps up my hour on @mainecalling – thanks to Jennifer Rooks and @mainepublic for having me, and to all the folks who called in. Until next time! — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
Response to caller question on the ACA, cont’d: “I’m pretty passionate about this because having insurance saves lives. People who don’t have insurance, who don’t have checkups, who don’t go to the doctor, have a higher mortality rate.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
@CyberSolarium Caller question on the ACA. Sen. King response: “It’s not on firm ground as long as the Administration is continually trying to sabotage it…I’ve been hearing for 7 years about repeal and replace, but I’ve never seen replace. In the meantime, the ACA is covering a lot of people.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
@CyberSolarium Caller question on oil drilling in the Arctic. Sen. King response: “I voted against and spoke against and agitated against opening up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which passed as part of the tax bill…I think it was a mistake.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
@CyberSolarium Question on rural broadband. Sen. King’s response: “I think rural broadband is one of the most serious challenges facing Maine. I think we need to develop the infrastructure so people can live where they want…I’m co-chair of the Rural Broadband Caucus, it’s a priority for me.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
On the work of the @CyberSolarium: “It’s 14 members: 4 members of Congress, 4 members of the executive, and 6 from the private sector…the idea is to develop a consensus national security policy with regard to cyber that will guide the country in years to come.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
@mainecalling On the threats of cyberattacks: “It’s hard to exaggerate the dangers of cyberattacks on this country…the good news is we’re the most wired country in the world. The bad news is we’re the most wired country in the world – because it makes us incredibly vulnerable.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
@mainecalling On the decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, abandoning our Kurdish partners: “I’ve done a lot of work on this in the Armed Services Committee…I think the way the President made this decision was terrible.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
@mainecalling On the lack of legislation moving through the Senate: “If nothing comes to the Senate floor for us to vote on, my constituents in Maine are being disenfranchised.” — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing
I’m about to join @mainecalling to discuss my work in the Senate to address the challenges facing Maine people – tune in at https://t.co/cyn2Xd5U3R, or follow this thread for highlights! — PolitiTweet.org
