During the race, -20 degrees is a good day. -40 degrees is a tough day. Stories like musher Allen Moore going for 750 miles without seeing another person & sled dog teams navigating Alaska’s extreme terrain in almost total darkness remind us of the grit & guts of the competitors.

.@TheYukonQuest is an event so rugged that many have coined it with the unofficial motto, “survive first, race second.” This is a great read on why the Yukon Quest is so unique—earning the title of the toughest sled dog race in the world. #YK2020

This afternoon, we closed a trying, difficult and painful chapter in American history as we concluded impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. The process has shown—and perhaps exacerbated—the deep division in our nation. pic.twitter.com/TOkzuRFepn

Tonight, the President delivered his third State of the Union address. It’s an opportunity for the President to lay out his vision for our nation, speak to where we are now, and what we’ve accomplished. Watch the video for my response.

Together Connie and Bernie battled ALS, a fatal disease, with remarkable faith and strength of character. Connie made us all better people through her example of love and God’s grace. Verne and I extend our condolences to Bernie and his family. pic.twitter.com/bldxv3a7PI

Bernie will tell you himself that what he has accomplished, the innovation that he has achieved, would never have been possible without Connie’s love. The relationship they shared was truly inspiring.

Connie came to Alaska in 1971 to work on the pipeline, which is where she met her husband and best friend, Bernie Karl. Together, they have been making positive impacts on the lives of so many Alaskans for more than 40 years.

Today we mourn the loss and reflect on the life of an incredible Alaskan: Connie Karl. Connie was an adventurous and spirited woman who I was blessed to call my friend. Her smile could light up a room and her eyes could tell a story. pic.twitter.com/aPhMzViU4P

Watch my speech in the link below where I explain how I worked to secure a fair and transparent structure for the trial, how I viewed the process, and why I cannot vote to convict.

Proud to join @SenAmyKlobuchar in introducing The Justice for Victims of Hate Crimes Act, a legislative effort to empower federal law enforcement by providing the legal certainty they need to bring the perpetrators of hate crimes to justice. bit.ly/37MwCVL pic.twitter.com/O4VEdb1cJv

Thanks to all the organizations & volunteers in the Mat-Su Project Homeless Connect event. You provide an important service to those who are experiencing homelessness by making health/wellness/dental screenings, employment assistance, clothing, food & more accessible in 1 place. pic.twitter.com/leOICkd2VH

Groundhog day and Super Bowl Sunday aside, today’s a historic day. 02/02/2020—written the same backward and forward—it’s the first global palindrome day in 909 years.

I remain committed to developing lasting policy initiatives that will help bring perpetrators to justice, improve prevention & response efforts, & increase coordination at all levels. If we work together to move from awareness to action, we can end human trafficking for good.

#HumanTraffickingMonth may have just came to an end, but the fight to eradicate modern day slavery is far from over. We must continue efforts to educate others to recognize the signs of human trafficking. pic.twitter.com/CKpFTr5ti1

This has been a decades long effort towards explicitly including equality for women under law. I urge the Archivist to complete the ERA’s certification and for Congress to eliminate the deadline for ratification.

Everyone should be treated equally under the law. I’ve been working hard with @SenatorCardin to make the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) part of the Constitution.

(5/5) I will not stand for nor support that effort. We have already degraded our institution for partisan political benefit, and I will not enable those who wish to pull down another.
We are sadly at a low point of division in this country.

(4/5) It is sad for me to admit that, as an institution, the Congress has failed.
It has also become clear some of my colleagues intend to further politicize this process, and drag the Supreme Court into the fray, while attacking the Chief Justice.
