Spent a great Friday with the folks at ND Paper in Rumford and MedCare Ambulance Service in Mexico, Maine! A strong reminder about those who are investing in rural Maine by creating jobs and caring for our people in the process. https://t.co/dWK87xJ998 — PolitiTweet.org

AIRING this Saturday at 10 a.m. on @WGANNews: this month’s #InsideMaine will focus on helping rural Americans access quality and affordable healthcare with Senate Rural Health Caucus chair @SenTinaSmith and @Cary_Medical CEO Kris Doody. Be sure to tune in! https://t.co/iiOLKttB2a — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, the Senate took a big step by permanently reauthorizing the Land and Water Conservation Fund – but if we don’t actually fund it, then it can't fulfill its mission. In yesterday’s hearing, I emphasized the need to fully fund #LWCF. https://t.co/58Y4K4zmx2 — PolitiTweet.org

Erin, he’s welcome to run around my office any day of the week! Thanks again for sharing your family’s story and the importance of investing in children’s healthcare, Medicaid, and patient protections in the ACA. https://t.co/nkoNhEfH4R — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Great conversation with @pkcapitol about my unexpected road trip last week. A reminder of what can happen when you’re spontaneous – good conversations (and bad food) with really impressive and kind people. https://t.co/qLl1GNeLbm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Last year we reauthorized the Land and Water Conservation Fund to preserve our public lands – but if we don’t actually fund it, then it can't fulfill its mission. In today’s ENR hearing, I urged Congress to pass a bill that establishes permanent funding for LWCF. https://t.co/U5pF6RK3fu — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see two of Maine’s brightest today in D.C. today! Emma Hargreaves, of Old Town, and Rohan Freedman, of Cape Elizabeth, were named Maine’s 2019 Presidential Scholars – a testament to their dedication, and a sign of their accomplishments to come. Congrats to you both! https://t.co/QGtXkEUj2o — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t understand how anyone could think this is the right way to treat a child. Simply horrifying. https://t.co/KGGfFK4Gdx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Good news for Maine - the Northern Border Regional Commission just awarded $1.25 million to @UMaine and the Town of East Millinocket to support Maine’s forest economy and develop innovative and sustainable technologies that create new jobs in rural areas. https://t.co/1bvAg4k3TL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Daniel Inouye dedicated his life to defending his country and improving his world. Today, it was honor to join his family to christen the USS Daniel Inouye in his name so that it may carry on his lifelong mission and advance the ideals he fought for every single day. https://t.co/m545QkA8yr — PolitiTweet.org

What do two software engineers, a lawyer, a college professor, and a U.S. Senator do after their flight from Washington to Maine is cancelled? Road Trip!! See you in the morning, Maine! https://t.co/oRNITMiOyr https://t.co/jlA7WmBuhe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Maine people shouldn’t be collateral damage in this escalating international dispute. That’s why I joined my colleagues in urging the administration to extend tariff relief to the lobster industry, as it did for farmers affected by tariffs. https://t.co/pV4xylnSg5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

"Canada has seen its lobster exports to China nearly double. Maine may never recover its previously dominant position in this export market." @ChadBown shows yet again how the lobster industry is suffering due to the ongoing trade war. https://t.co/L7f5LwhrEh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

The administration’s plan doesn’t come close to setting the standards we need to address the challenges of climate change. Even worse: it makes it harder for future presidents to do the hard, necessary work of responding to these crises. We need better, and we need it now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Climate change is an existential threat that affects us all, so we need an aggressive and unified effort to mitigate its impacts. Unfortunately, the administration’s proposal is a major setback when we need to making strides towards cleaner emissions. https://t.co/cMaPQzhcaJ — PolitiTweet.org

Too many Americans are trapped in a vicious cycle – they don’t have access to credit, and as a result they’re denied the opportunity to build their credit for the future. This holds people back, and it’s not right – this bill would open new doors for those who are locked out. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Millions of Americans cannot access credit despite having a history of paying their bills on time – the problem is, the bills they pay aren’t included in the credit rating process. That's why I’ve cosponsored a bill to help more Americans access credit: https://t.co/YY970Bmv45 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

On @NewDay this morning, I talked with @JohnBerman about the challenges we face with Iran. This is a complicated situation, ripe with the potential for miscalculations – we need strategic thinking and calm voices to help navigate the next steps to protect our national security. https://t.co/p15YoUEUOn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

TUNE IN: I’ll be joining @NewDay shortly, hope you can watch! — PolitiTweet.org

Acadia is far from the only national park struggling to keep up with increased visitation. I've introduced the Restore Our Parks Act with @SenRobPortman, @MarkWarner, and @SenAlexander to address the deferred maintenance backlog facing @NatlParkService. https://t.co/fepxWncPwH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

Each year, 3.5 million people visit @AcadiaNPS – that’s nearly 3 times the population of Maine. Anyone who’s been to Acadia understands why it’s such a popular park – and they also know just how important it is that we protect this wonderful Maine treasure for future generations. https://t.co/o7j55Y0x2O — PolitiTweet.org

"Mainers are practical and inventive, ready to make do with what we have and celebrate our solutions, however jury-rigged they may be. We love our neighbors and this beautiful place we call home." Words of a paper that knows its readers. Congrats on 130 years, @bangordailynews! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

You can’t make good policy without good data – and right now, we need better data on how to confront the public health threats facing the American people. I've joined @TimKaine and @SenatorIsakson on a bill that will help keep the American people healthy: https://t.co/v2njyAr0ig — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

This rule has bipartisan Congressional support, is backed by the administration, and will reduce costs for Americans who rely on these medications. If anything, the objections of these corporations makes me think we’re on the right track. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing

It’s commonsense: if you advertise a product to the American people, you should tell them what you’re charging. Apparently drug companies missed the memo, though — they’re suing to block a rule I have been pushing for which requires them to disclose their prices in TV ads. — PolitiTweet.org

Acadia is both one of America’s most visited national parks and one of its smallest – so MDI needs effective transportation to manage these visitors and facilitate economic activity. These new buses are an investment that will help future generations explore a Maine treasure! — PolitiTweet.org
