I’m very encouraged by the Presidential Memorandum “Safeguarding U.S. National Interests in the Arctic and Antarctic Regions” and statement of support from President Trump, which prioritizes some of our nation’s most urgent #Arctic needs. https://t.co/OGphWYRs4F https://t.co/tNXurWK6Tb — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see that some of the funding secured through the Cares Act law is being set aside for @AlaskaHousing to provide housing assistance to Alaskans in need. Click the link in the tweet below for information on eligibility and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I also raised the issue of homelessness and the emergency needs that families and youth are facing in the wake of #COVID19. We must work together inside and outside of the classroom to address any gap of services for homeless families and youth. https://t.co/LiJz1EYmS2 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

During the hearing I shared my concerns about the lack of internet and tele-education access for students and highlighted the need for reform to ensure kids lacking connectivity were are not left out. https://t.co/4BA3PWM07U — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As Congress continues their work to help America overcome the challenges of the #COVID19 pandemic, I took part in a virtual Senate HELP Committee hearing focused on going back to school safely. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Proud to introduce the Emergency Family Stabilization Act, which creates a new emergency funding stream under the direction of the @ACFHHS to support existing programs in their efforts to support youth — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Youth and family homelessness in Alaska was an obstacle even prior to the #COVID19 pandemic. And with stress related to shelter-in-place orders combined with the current economic crisis, we see even more homeless families. https://t.co/zWyasUojSW https://t.co/2YZsYt4QIY — PolitiTweet.org

My statement after the Senate unanimously confirmed General Charles Q. Brown, Jr. as the next U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff: https://t.co/m387aEDXlI — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

We need to do everything possible to prevent that—and ensure that our firefighters don’t fall ill or have to self-quarantine. @AK_Forestry’s Norm McDonald discussed what is happening in state. https://t.co/RdvBN9iilz — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Nationally, we expect this season to be more severe than last year, but the fallout from a small fraction of infections on a heavily staffed fire like Swan Lake could result in a significant number of #COVID19 cases. https://t.co/VrGGkQ2ATS — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

As our wildfire season is underway, we are still in the midst of the #COVID19 pandemic. Today I chaired an @EnergyGOP hearing to examine how this season will be different and how well the agencies are prepared. https://t.co/3McfrZgYiy — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Last week Chris Maisch of @AK_Forestry joined me for the 3rd episode of Murkowski’s Message podcast to discuss how to mitigate some of the risks. https://t.co/64WdbBv0RP — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

We must ensure our first responders combating wildfires in Alaska and across the country have the equipment they need to fight fires and keep themselves safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Tomorrow I'm chairing a Senate Energy & Natural Resources Cmte hearing on wildfire mgmt in the midst of #COVID19. Typically more than 20K employees are dispatched to respond during a wildfire season, so stopping the spread of #COVID19 among our firefighters remains a priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Thank you to @MarineSanctuary for hosting a panel to highlight the importance of cooperation and collaboration as we work to protect marine environments around the globe. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Tune in tomorrow for this year’s Capitol Hill Ocean Week—an event focused on developing policy and bringing attention on the long-term health of our oceans and Great Lakes. #VirtualChow — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I congratulate Jack Hebert, Bruno Grunau, Dr. Martin Keller, and everyone else who helped form this partnership. I can’t wait to see the good that comes from it. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The lessons and innovation will benefit Alaskans, who pay the country’s highest energy prices, as well as those who live in circumpolar climates. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alaskans know that living in a cold climate takes ingenuity, determination, and collaboration. I’m thrilled @CCHRC_Alaska is teaming up with @NRELto further their energy research and development efforts. https://t.co/BvAA8QfZBg — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Today is #WorldOceansDay, a growing movement to protect our oceans & highlight the benefits they bring to our communities. Together we can overcome challenges such as marine debris, pollution & ocean acidification to ensure the long term health of our oceans. #ProtectOurHome — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I also questioned university & college presidents on whether they had been able to fully reimburse students for their expenses related to the pandemic, who responded by stating that they are each providing direct assistance to students. https://t.co/vDDETXpUJ5 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

During the hearing I noted that while Congress worked hard to get direct relief out to businesses, schools, and individuals through the Cares Act, I remain concerned that students were not been adequately included in those response efforts. https://t.co/3JEJeRwhYn — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

This past week I took part in a Senate HELP Cmte hearing focused on how institutions of higher education are preparing for students, faculty & staff to return to campus this fall utilizing various practices such as implementing testing & contact tracing. https://t.co/iFOssQUGwa — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

My hope that this GAO report would give us the information we need to take the necessary steps to assist those transitioning from the criminal justice system back into society. https://t.co/F7m0TOSK1y — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alaska continues to see high incidences of heroin and opioid abuse. We must provide individuals in the criminal justice system who struggle w/ substance abuse disorders with the behavioral health resources they need to integrate themselves back into society without recidivism. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Alongside @SenSherrodBrown & a bipartisan group of Senators, I commissioned a report from the Government Accountability Office which revealed shortfalls in the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ drug treatment programs & recommendations for ways to improve. https://t.co/OIB9D0yhN8 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Prior to my speech on the Senate Floor on women’s suffrage & the ERA, I took a moment to address what America has witnessed since the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, including nationwide protests & calls for justice & #equality. https://t.co/YAMwwO6pxN — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

You cannot put a time limit on women’s equality. It is fundamental to the American way of life and it is far past time that it is expressly recognized in the constitution. https://t.co/sqXExUW4Jv — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

The 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage is a reminder of the progress we’ve made, but we know we have more to do, and that includes the #ERA being swiftly signed into law. https://t.co/ElGkamAKON — PolitiTweet.org
