During a brutal Maine winter, heating your home is a necessity that cannot be ignored. That’s why I’ve joined my colleagues to urge @HHSGov to disperse funds for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) as efficiently as possible. https://t.co/HI0aEQnds1 — PolitiTweet.org

The forest products industry has faced challenges, but thanks to key investments by industry leaders, important innovations by academic institutions, and a highly-skilled workforce, I know its best days are ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

This week marks both National Forest Products Week and Maine Forest Products Week, which provides us with an opportunity to celebrate the forest products industry’s place as the backbone of our rural communities – after all, we are the Pine Tree State! https://t.co/TUtCVZ513C — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

We must provide resources for veterans struggling with mental health issues, homelessness, and substance use disorders; for 22 years, the Stand Down has helped connect those in need with those who can help. Thanks to Togus for hosting this great event, I was honored to take part. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Maine’s veterans have made immense sacrifices to ensure our national security and they’ve earned our unwavering support – that’s why events like the Annual Stand Down at Togus VA Medical Center are so important. https://t.co/cUU2aN8VZ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Tomorrow I’ll meet with Maine veterans and advocates at the 22nd Annual Stand Down at Togus VA Medical Center in Augusta – an event that helps connect veterans with resources that they need. Consider stopping by, and read more from @KJ_Online here: https://t.co/JbaTIgcffy — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s the day! Caribou’s own @Astro_Jessica is making history up in the stars with NASA’s first all-women spacewalk on a critical mission to replace a battery. Folks on Earth can follow along here: https://t.co/JtXZrXIQtc #Dirigo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

I’m a cosponsor of @MarcoRubio’s Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act because America should always stand with those who fight for their freedoms. This legislation just passed in the House; it’s time for @senatemajldr to let the Senate vote on this defense of human rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The Senate Intel Committee just released a bipartisan report on Russia's attempts to interfere with the 2016 election via social media. One key takeaway: the best way to thwart misinformation is for voters to be aware of the methods and tactics being used. https://t.co/sGwl77h7py — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Elections are the backbone of America’s democracy, which makes this reminder from @SteveCollinsSJ even more important. Voters must be vigilant about what they read on social media. https://t.co/b3F3t0P4HT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The President’s rash decision to withdraw troops from Syria is a boon for Iran, Russia, Assad, and ISIS – and as a result, a setback for America. I discussed the harm we’ve inflicted on ourselves and our partners on @Morning_Joe this morning. https://t.co/Kh1Khd41yj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

HEADS UP: I'll be joining the @Morning_Joe team at ~8:30. Hope you can tune in! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

This morally reprehensible and strategically irresponsible move has been widely — and rightly — condemned on a bipartisan basis. Now the Senate must act quickly to impose sanctions on Turkey for its actions in Syria. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The President abandoned our Kurdish partners who stood with us against ISIS; it appears some of those partners are now being slaughtered, and some ISIS captives have been freed. A heartbreakingly predictable outcome of one of the worst decisions I‘ve seen by an American leader. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The paper enriched our communities, encouraged civic life, and ensured accountability. Communities that have relied on this paper will suffer in its absence; it will be deeply missed by residents of not only York County, but also the entire state of Maine. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

I’m saddened that today marks the final edition of the Journal Tribune. For 135 years, the delivery of the Journal Tribune brought with it all the comings and goings of York County, helping inform residents about what was happening in their own backyard. https://t.co/p9UkCf1AJH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

When Maine people see others in need, they help – it’s just their nature. That’s what the city and these organizations did when a crisis came to our door. They lived their values – our values – and I’m glad they won’t have to bear the cost alone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Thrilled that the City of Portland, @PrebleStreet, and the Jewish Community Alliance will be reimbursed for their work to support asylum seekers who arrived in Maine earlier this year. This is a federal challenge that cannot be outsourced solely to municipalities and non-profits. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Additionally, there are two steps we should take immediately: the Senate must pass stronger election security legislation, and the President must stop using his office to invite further foreign involvement in our elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

On an individual level, each American can and should approach social media platforms with more skepticism – because the best way to battle disinformation is for America's voters to know when they're being conned by a foreign power. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

I urge the American people to review our findings, because these attacks strike at the heart of our democracy. We can spare no effort to protect ourselves in 2020 and beyond, and I won't stop fighting to secure our elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

This week, the Senate Intelligence Committee released the second volume of our bipartisan report, which clearly lays out how Russia used social media in its efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. https://t.co/b9Io0qDs0R — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The President’s decision to leave our Kurdish partners at the mercy of the Turks is a terrible decision that will weaken America’s word in the eyes of foreign nations and make it harder to find partners in the future. A serious blow to America’s national security. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Americans pay the highest per capita costs for healthcare, but our health outcomes don’t reflect that. We need to fix that, for the sake of both our health and our wallets. Grateful to all who joined today's discussion – I’ll bring their thoughts back to Washington. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Often lost in the debates about who should pay for healthcare is how much we pay for healthcare – and it’s just too much. Today in Bangor, we discussed ways to prevent issues before they get serious – because the cheapest medical procedure is one that doesn’t need to happen. https://t.co/THqkk1Jwhc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

This technology will be a vital boost for bio-based manufacturing, and allow our state to maximize our bountiful forests. This is just the latest investment to help Maine’s forest economy — my sincere thanks to all who helped make this a reality. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Today, @UMaine made history by unveiling the world’s largest 3D printer, AND largest 3D printed object: a boat! This is a big deal for the state of Maine — the possibilities are limited only by our imaginations. https://t.co/3cpHyFffmO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

This may be a first — at ~9:30, I’ll be joining @CuomoPrimeTime LIVE from Presque Isle, Maine. Tune in! — PolitiTweet.org
