Clearly the Roadless Rule is not an example of #SharedStewardship, so it was reassuring to hear Chief Christiansen confirm that the state-specific rulemaking draft EIS is still on target time-wise. This is critical for the health and wellbeing of our forests & rural communities. https://t.co/HxwoJWwR85 — PolitiTweet.org

Today I chaired an ENR hearing on the President’s FY 2020 budget request for the @USDA @ForestService. I’m glad to see the Forest Service taking steps to carry out a #SharedStewardship approach to management—working across boundaries and sharing decision-making w/states & locals. https://t.co/ErB2hsdkxA — PolitiTweet.org

I am introducing the Digital Coast Act w/ @RepDonYoung, @SenatorBaldwin, & @Call_Me_Dutch to provide comprehensive mapping & surveying of our coastline, ensuring we have readily accessible & modern info for coastal management, planning & disaster response. https://t.co/mN57DxSNxv https://t.co/zBP8QwgRVo — PolitiTweet.org

I’m humbled to read Dr. King’s letter, which no doubt continues to encourage the fight for civil rights today, but also for the chance to do so with his oldest son, @OfficialMLK3, an avid human rights activist, present in the audience. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

Shortly, I’ll be reading a portion of Dr. King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail on the U.S. Senate floor, alongside my colleagues @SenDougJones, @SenAlexander, @SenKamalaHarris, @SenTedCruz, and Sen. Tim Kaine. Watch live here: https://t.co/qMUApCHL49 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

On April 16, Dr. King wrote his widely published Letter from Birmingham Jail, defending their nonviolent method of protesting racism. The letter is still frequently referenced today to remind us in Dr. King’s own words that, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” https://t.co/ESrmVhT6fv — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

While detained, Dr. King was snuck in a newspaper which included a letter penned by 8 local clergymen in response to the civil rights demonstrations, claiming that any social injustices should be addressed in court & not the streets. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

On April 12, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other protesters were detained for taking part in the Birmingham Campaign—a series of nonviolent protests and sit-ins aimed at changing the city’s discriminatory hiring laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Forced marriages, violence & poor socioeconomic status are among the tragic obstacles that many women across the globe face in pursuit of an education. This bill aims to help close educational gaps for young girls in primary school & for women pursuing a secondary education. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I joined @SenatorShaheen in introducing the Keeping Girls in School Act. Education is critical in the overall health & success of both individuals & the general public, yet the number of women around the world that are not in school is staggering. https://t.co/gUpT2m3YN7 https://t.co/q37SrHN4ee — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight I attended the @AKStateSociety's reception to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Alaska’s statehood. I was particularly glad to commemorate this special event with the 2019 Alaska Cherry Blossom Princess, Andrea Wagner. https://t.co/XpoNU6AdiU — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to hear @GCIAK & @TheWilsonCenter are presenting a 5-part series on the significance of the Arctic & how the region impacts Alaskans on issues such as border security, transportation & shipping-- an important effort to ensure our #ArcticOpportunities aren't overlooked. — PolitiTweet.org

By reinforcing that the states have supremacy when it comes to marijuana regulation, we are eliminating confusion, and more importantly empowering and protecting states’ rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

It establishes that stringent state marijuana regulatory regimes, like those which exist in Alaska, have supremacy over federal drug control laws. At the same time, it does not impair the effectiveness of federal marijuana prohibitions in states that have elected not to legalize. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski

I cosponsored the STATES Act w/ @SenDanSullivan & @repdonyoung--legislation that's a reasonable way to balance the interests of states that desire to regulate the use of marijuana, whether for medical or recreational purposes, and those that do not. https://t.co/jKZE16gdDE — PolitiTweet.org
