Deeply saddened by the news of this weekend’s devastating earthquake in Haiti. My heart aches for those suffering. Our love, prayers, and support are with the people of Haiti as they endure this tragedy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

As this devastating fire spreads rapidly through Parley’s Canyon, I encourage Utahns to stay safe and avoid the area to allow fire personnel access. Praying for the safety of these first responders and for the residents in the area as they evacuate. — PolitiTweet.org

Politics should never come before our national security interests. The Administration must immediately reconsider its Afghanistan withdrawal plan. Further evidence that a crumbling Afghan government has grave implications for US security interests now, and in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

Nothing but lip service coming from the Administration. We have made commitments to the Afghan interpreters, and others who have provided critical assistance, that we would get them out of Afghanistan. The U.S. must not renege on our commitments amidst this push by the Taliban. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

The Biden administration’s unwillingness to alter the Afghan withdrawal plan based on changing circumstances on the ground & the grave implications for US security interests is a tragedy & a cause for serious concern about how the administration will deal with global challenges. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

More than half of the Democrats' reckless $3.5 trillion spending bill will be paid for with devastating tax increases on hardworking Americans. That's $1.75 trillion in revenue. I offered an amendment to prevent the largest tax increase in American history.https://t.co/i0OT67geI4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

Washington Democrats are set to carry out a reckless tax & spending spree–pushing a $3.5 trillion bill filled with radical social spending and tax hikes. Their bill is a blue whale–it's large, soft, and very blue– and it will add massively to our already ballooning national debt. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

Democrats are creating an open gateway to trillions of dollars in new taxes—on hardworking families and businesses—with little regard to half the country. Under the rules of budget reconciliation, there is no restriction on how high they can increase taxes on the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

Republicans will not sign up for the multitrillion-dollar spending, tax hikes, increased deficits, and expanded social programs put forth by our Democrat friends in their latest budget bill. Their proposal is a whopping $3.5 trillion. This level of spending is simply reckless. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

The "budget" bill put forth by Democrats is not only detrimental to our country's fiscal health, it is destructive to the tradition of bipartisanship. Their $3.5 trillion proposal is a reckless spending spree on expanded social programs and would raise taxes on American families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

Our infrastructure bill is truly bipartisan, and because of that, Utah was given a seat at the table. I'm proud of this product because it is good for Utahns and good for communities across the country. https://t.co/zvDlb7yXY7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

This bill would also help Utah mitigate drought conditions, prepare for and respond to wildfires, continue expanding broadband to rural communities, and fulfill critical water needs—which includes funds to bring running water to a substantial part of Utah’s Navajo Nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

As one of the fastest growing states in the country, Utah is in serious need of additional infrastructure. This bipartisan infrastructure bill would provide Utah the funding to construct new, and rebuild and maintain its existing, roads and highways. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

For decades, elected officials have talked about addressing our nation’s aging infrastructure. Our bipartisan bill turns that talk into reality. It's a true compromise, providing a once-in-a-generation investment in our country’s physical infrastructure without raising taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act just passed the Senate–a win for Utah and communities across the country! I'm proud that I could help negotiate this historic, bipartisan bill which will provide a much-needed upgrade of our country's physical infrastructure. https://t.co/7YXZwmFhZy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

Talk of the infrastructure bill allowing the government to track your driving through a VMT is fearmongering and misinformation. It creates a VOLUNTARY study to determine how electric cars can support the Highway Trust Fund so the burden isn't solely on those who pay a gas tax. https://t.co/vOKM8Vdrk3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

Our bipartisan infrastructure bill is responsibly paid for. Not all of these “score” according to CBO, but they are real dollars: → $173 billion in unused COVID funds → $53 billion from unused UI → $53 billion in economic growth resulting from a return on investment https://t.co/kuEOdg6FFk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

Those saying our bill isn't about physical infrastructure aren't telling the truth. Out of $550B in new spending: - $110B roads & bridges - $66B rail - $65B broadband - $65B power/grid - $54B water - $46B resiliency - $39B public transit The full breakdown is publicly available. https://t.co/erdvWJjW01 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

The core of our infrastructure bill went through regular order, passing out of four Senate committees with bipartisan support. This means that nearly 2,000 of the 2,700 pages of this bill have been public for months. It hardly came out of nowhere. https://t.co/FSEpqU5FwQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is $550 billion in NEW spending, not $1.2 trillion as some have said. Our bill costs 1/3 of what President Trump proposed. It includes fiscally responsible pay-fors, including unused COVID-19 relief funds, and doesn't raise taxes. https://t.co/KWdfwDNNYx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

Our infrastructure bill is a culmination of bipartisan collaboration and regular order. Nearly 2,000 of the 2,700 pages had already passed out of committees with bipartisan support—61 senators on 4 committees put together the bills, many of which have been public for months. https://t.co/3Gpla3ceUN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

This bipartisan infrastructure bill will provide an historic investment in our country's physical infrastructure. It's not a gateway to anything except better roads and bridges, better water systems, better broadband in rural communities, and better economic vitality. https://t.co/bJ0SeNrQ6I — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

Live soon→ I’ll be speaking about our bipartisan infrastructure bill on the Senate floor. This is an historic piece of legislation that will address decades of neglect of our nation’s physical infrastructure. https://t.co/mlS6RtPeXb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

Eddy Alvarez, former @slccbaseball athlete, started in Tokyo as a flag bearer for @TeamUSA. He now goes home with a silver medal—adding to the silver he earned in speed skating at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Congratulations on such an amazing feat, @eddyalvarez90! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

Damian Lillard has shown incredible resiliency and resolve in Tokyo, ultimately helping secure gold for @TeamUSA. Congratulations, @Dame_Lillard! The legacy of excellence in men’s basketball at the @Olympics continues. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

As expected, CBO confirms half the bill is paid for with new revenue that “scores.” The other half is paid for with savings and other revenue (unused UI, unused COVID $) that don’t score under their rules, but they are real dollars. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

Congratulations to Murray native and @TeamUSA athlete Nathaniel Coleman on winning the first-ever silver medal in climbing! History has been made. You’ve made us proud, Nathaniel! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

These brave Utah firefighters, once again, are answering the call to serve. Will be keeping them in our prayers as they deploy for two weeks in Montana to help fight wildfires. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney

Our bipartisan infrastructure bill is good for Utah, and provides a major upgrade to infrastructure across the nation. A bipartisan bill gave Utah a seat at the negotiating table. This bill may not be perfect, but it’s a big step forward for our state and the country. https://t.co/qGc1i5oBMT — PolitiTweet.org
