Alongside @SenDanSullivan I met w/ Sec. of State @SecBlinken, National Security Advisor @jakejsullivan, & the National Security Council’s Asia coordinator Kurt Campbell to discuss their recent meetings w/ China, Japan & South Korea. https://t.co/HMSNSmc1u6

It is estimated that the demand for energy across the country could grow nearly 50 percent by the year 2050, making carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies as important as ever in the fight against climate change. #SCALEclimate

Proud to join @ChrisCoons, @SenBillCassidy, @RepVeasey, & @RepMcKinley to introduce the #SCALEAct, which will spur the development of infrastructure needed for large-scale carbon management. https://t.co/MBvTYk80uy

Alaska is home to America’s Arctic Warriors and I look forward to supporting efforts to get our soldiers back to living that mantra in both word and action. #Arctic Tough! https://t.co/Kpzarzi7yM

The @USArmy recently released its first-ever strategy for the #Arctic—Regaining Arctic Dominance. Their strategy demonstrates the importance of the region and lays out a comprehensive plan to capitalize on the opportunities and challenges in the Arctic—including training. https://t.co/S4c97pthA8

We must continue to bolster the mental health of our healthcare providers as they continue to operate on the frontlines against this pandemic.

During the hearing I questioned witnesses on the effectiveness of counteracting the oncoming crisis through the Crisis Now model, which is a framework for expanding behavioral health crisis response - one that has been utilized in Alaska to address the mental health issues. https://t.co/um03UEmYuY

I recently took part in a HELP Committee hearing focused on the mental health challenges healthcare professionals have faced in supporting the public health & medical response to COVID, providing care to patients, & distributing & administering #COVID19 medical countermeasures.

Our nation is experiencing an additional component of the pandemic—the mental and behavioral health impact. There is an urgent need to ensure healthcare providers have access to mental and behavioral health services. https://t.co/DG4kQOFxCj

Last year, I supported an effort by the @CCHRC_Alaska and the @NREL to reestablish the Arctic Energy Office which will be essential to advancing clean energy and cold climate technologies to maintain energy security in the #Arctic.

This time-honored competition tests the strength and determination of fierce participants. I will continue to support this storied tradition and celebrate the human and canine participants who uphold our unique traditions as they make their journey across the state.

I recently penned an Op-Ed w/ @SenDanSullivan & @RepDonYoung speaking to the importance of the Iditarod. We must stand up and push back against egregious misinformation and opinionated attacks against the Last Great Race on Earth. https://t.co/ElosCSikXU

RT @newsminer: Hurley, who died Sunday, spent decades in public service in Alaska, starting with assistant to Gruening. https://t.co/e4TyvP6SuY

My deepest thanks to the healthcare workers are Bartlett, and across Alaska, who continue to serve on the frontlines of the pandemic.

Their staff also provided an update on their efforts to address the mental health impacts of the pandemic, a too-often overlooked aspect of the pandemic. As we continue to address #COVID19 on all fronts, increased testing capacity will be critical to protecting our communities. https://t.co/EDLn5aWtdr

I recently visited Bartlett Regional Hospital to view their new #COVID19 testing lab. They showed me their new COVID-19 test analyzer, which will greatly expand and accelerate Juneau’s testing capacity once it is fully operational. https://t.co/QLMtEkvKlz

It is also critical for America to rebuild our domestic critical minerals supply chains. During the hearing I thanked Dr. Birol & Mr. Mills for recognizing the importance of minerals in transitioning to clean energy systems & reinforced the need for it to remain a priority. https://t.co/Tn2mmHfZ6E

Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute Mark Mills echoed concerns over pushing O&G production to other countries that are less efficient and clean than the U.S. The U.S. must maintain our position of power as an O&G producer. https://t.co/TqASdQqblz

.@IEA Director Faith Birol confirmed that, if our O&G production declines, strong global demand will mean the gap will be met mainly by cheap-cost Middle East countries. https://t.co/96XHeBb5C1

So I encourage those who are negotiating: our bipartisan, bicameral proposal is a solid framework. And as they say, we’re running out of daylight—so let’s get moving with it. https://t.co/bBkMMdIAii

I am calling on Congress to commit to finding a compromise with a sense of expediency and urgency—that we do our business quickly and fairly, with the politics aside. We don’t need to draw this out. https://t.co/QCw4wXhpUQ

We know that there is light at the end because the vaccine is arriving. But in the meantime, Americans need targeted relief. And what we have outlined in this bipartisan bicameral proposal, is just exactly that. It’s that lifeline that can get them from December to March. https://t.co/91yrJxvL6y

I spoke on the U.S. Senate Floor on the bipartisan, bicameral #COVID19 emergency relief framework I introduced with my colleagues on Monday to support those who are struggling https://t.co/TUr0AusJNG

People in Alaska & across the country are suffering. It’s our job in Congress to be responsive to the pandemic & economic crisis at hand, focusing on the most vulnerable – those who have lost jobs, whose small businesses are struggling & those worried about stable housing. https://t.co/8xDT9WMHY4

This week I joined colleagues from Senate & the House of Representatives to unveil text for two bipartisan, bicameral #COVID19 emergency relief bills. Today, I shared more details on our bills, explained why this proposal is unique, & sent a message of encouragement to Alaskans. https://t.co/AsXGnZkbxX

The best of the U.S. Senate. Tonight we retired @SenAlexander as he played Christmas carols in the Senate Hart Office Building Atrium. https://t.co/qt9eS7XNqh

Pleased to see that the Maternal Health Quality Improvement Act, legislation to address maternal health issues in rural America, passed the House and now heads to the President’s desk to be signed into law. https://t.co/Wp4LuHudHG

The recently passed bill includes provisions from legislation I introduced with @SenTinaSmith, the Rural MOMs Act, to improve access to health care for expecting mothers in rural regions. https://t.co/lBQMbiCzA3

Alaskans and rural Americans will see the benefits of the bill firsthand as it provides increased opportunities for training, as well as increased support for programs in obstetric care, including postpartum depression.

In light of the disproportionately high maternal mortality rates experienced in rural communities – including Alaska – I’m proud of the strong bipartisan work Congress has put forward in addressing this issue.

That’s why I joined @SenBrianSchatz & a bipartisan group of lawmakers in calling for the expansion of access to telehealth services during the pandemic to be made permanent. We must ensure telehealth is maintained throughout the pandemic, and remains an option afterwards
