Our foreign mineral dependence is our Achilles’ heel for competitiveness, for manufacturing, and for geopolitics. And in my view it’s way past time to address it. — PolitiTweet.org

So why is this a problem? Whether we realize it or not, minerals are the foundation of our modern society. We use them in just about everything. But our foreign dependence threatens our national security & is driving jobs & industries to other countries. — PolitiTweet.org

The concentration of our mineral supply– who we buy it from– is also a problem. Of the 48 minerals I mentioned, China is a primary supplier for 26 of them. China is actually mentioned 375 times in the @USGS 204-page mineral commodity summaries report. — PolitiTweet.org

In 1997, we imported 100% of 11 minerals & 50% or more of another 26. Now, a little over 20 yrs later, our dependence has almost doubled. According to the @USGS, last yr we imported at least 50% of 48 minerals, including 100% of 18 of them. So, we’re going the wrong direction. — PolitiTweet.org

I wish for a speedy recovery for the injured and thank the search and rescue teams for their efforts to find those still missing. In times of tragedy, I know Alaskans, including the aviation community, will come together and support those involved any way that we can. — PolitiTweet.org

Bill was a staunch advocate for education, senior services & a balanced and growing economy. As Co-Chairman of the House Finance Cmte, he knew how to make a deal & how to keep a deal. He worked to ensure the responsible development and protection of Alaska’s land and resources. — PolitiTweet.org

Many thanks to the brave members of the @USCG who saved the lives of 4 people that had to abandon ship in Alaska’s Aleutian Chain, just south of Atka Island, after colliding with a rock. The Coast Guard’s hard work & quick response is deeply appreciated. #MilitaryAppreciation — PolitiTweet.org

That’s why I joined @SenDanSullivan, @SenDuckworth & @SenBlumenthal in introducing the Funeral Honors for Veterans Act, ensuring those who've gone above & beyond in service to the U.S. have the opportunity to be considered for full military funeral honors. https://t.co/N5LGbCpDqb — PolitiTweet.org

But as it stands, there are eligibility requirements that disqualify brave military service members, such as the late Navy Chief Petty Officer Sharp of Palmer, from receiving full honors at his funeral. This is unreasonable and unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

I'll continue to push my legislation, the Not Invisible Act, which aims to address the crisis of missing, murdered, & trafficked Native people by engaging law enforcement, tribal leaders, federal partners, & service provider & improving great coordination across federal agencies. https://t.co/yX8pBhO13K — PolitiTweet.org

The Barefoot Mile, the largest human trafficking awareness event in AK, garnered hundreds of individuals who walked barefoot to raise awareness on human trafficking. Proud that so many Alaskans walked in solidarity w/ children in poverty-- the most vulnerable to trafficking. https://t.co/9HcFw8kTwZ — PolitiTweet.org

They can either sell & manage profit or they can have Coyote Trail Farm & Mill just process the fiber for them. And this benefits Alaskans, too, as it allows access to high quality, freshly harvested fiber for purchase by businesses across AK. A great Alaskan small business! https://t.co/rb3gWOzWkH — PolitiTweet.org

They're known for building direct relationships w/ local herders or villagers on Nunivak Island, who harvest & gather the fiber needed for making yarn. Because Coyote Trail Farm & Mill builds these direct relationships, herders & villagers have greater control over their product. https://t.co/dxhp4SpAoc — PolitiTweet.org
