My staff and I are closely monitoring this morning’s explosion of a gas transmission pipeline in Lincoln County, Kentucky. Our prayers are with the families whom this disaster has touched and our gratitude is with all the first responders. — PolitiTweet.org

The forces that seek to harm the United States and our interests demand the attention of a fully-equipped, modern and ready military. Passing the bipartisan funding agreement before the Senate today will help us make sure we are up to the task. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate just confirmed @POTUS's impressive nominee for the critical role of @USUN Ambassador: Kelly Knight Craft of #Kentucky. I’m confident our entire nation will be proud of the fine service she will render as our Ambassador to the United Nations. https://t.co/8yZTeICXW0 — PolitiTweet.org

I enjoyed meeting with Gene Scalia, President Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Labor. Mr. Scalia is a veteran public servant with considerable expertise on labor and regulatory issues. I look forward to the Senate’s consideration of his nomination. https://t.co/LSp2x2UB2a — PolitiTweet.org

Considering the circumstances of divided government, the government funding agreement that President Trump’s team negotiated is a strong deal. It achieves Republicans’ number one priority: Continuing to fund the rebuilding of our Armed Forces and modernizing our national defense. — PolitiTweet.org

Modern-day McCarthyism is poison for American democracy. It is shameful to imply that policy disagreements make the other side unpatriotic. The people who push such unhinged smears are doing Putin’s destabilizing work for him. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

I spoke on the Senate floor today about my extensive record of standing up to Russia, election security, and why we won’t let some Democrats exploit this crisis to push unrelated partisan priorities that have been on their wish list long before 2016. https://t.co/EAvjf3RwGX — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the leadership of Dan Coats the intelligence community has made a great leap since 2016 to defend our democracy from ongoing Russian interference and the administration’s significant progress in defending against interference in 2018 and preparing us for 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

My friend and former colleague Dan Coats has devoted decades of his life in service to our country. I was reassured knowing that a man who took such a deliberate, thoughtful, and unbiased approach was at the helm of our intelligence community. — PolitiTweet.org

The @SenateForeign Relations Committee approved the nomination of Kelly Knight Craft of #Kentucky to be the @USUN Ambassador. The nomination now goes to the full #Senate. She is a phenomenal selection by @POTUS and I'm proud to support her nomination: https://t.co/vONNDQEohs https://t.co/GJEscE8zji — PolitiTweet.org

It was a pleasure to meet with General Mark Milley, President’s Trump’s nominee to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He’s an impressive leader and a highly qualified nominee. I am proud to support his confirmation. https://t.co/tuG3mZrZ2d — PolitiTweet.org

Socialist proposals that will ruin jobs and destroy private healthcare have become mainstream Democratic Party policy. As long as I’m the majority leader in the Senate, they will never become law. https://t.co/TENVLRMbaR — PolitiTweet.org

When it comes to confirming well-qualified judges, we will leave no vacancy behind. https://t.co/wzHg5QP34Z — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

The agreement between the Administration and Speaker Pelosi continues to fund the military at appropriate levels, contains no left-wing poison pills, and the American people get a chaos-free government for a year and a half. I agree with President Trump: Congress should pass it. https://t.co/U5cmCSw2gw — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate has never failed to attend to the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund and today we will address it again. It will be my honor to vote later today to ensure it has the resources it needs into the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Congress can never repay the firefighters, police, first responders, and their families who sacrificed during and after the 9/11 attacks. But today the Senate will proudly do our small part in helping to make them whole. https://t.co/DQJywmWwT8 — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

The funding agreement between the Trump Administration and Speaker Pelosi secures critical funding to continue rebuilding and modernizing our armed forces. It's the deal that our national defense needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

I am glad the administration and Speaker Pelosi have reached a two-year funding agreement that secures the resources we need to continue rebuilding our armed forces. The next step is for the House and the Senate to pass this agreement so that President Trump can sign it into law. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

President Trump has made an outstanding choice for Secretary of Defense. Mark Esper has played a major role in the administration’s ongoing work to restore our Armed Forces. He's won high praise from experts across the political spectrum. The Senate should confirm him this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

This week, the whole country is proudly celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. What a triumph of America’s ingenuity and pioneering spirit. Thanks to @AirAndSpace for this wonderful projection on the Washington Monument. @TheRealBuzz @AstroMCollins #Apollo50 https://t.co/9duJH5uglx — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve made the fight to save lives from the horrors of #opioid & substance abuse a top priority. We've still got work to do, but results of our work at the federal & state level w/many local partners on the front lines are evident in today’s announcement. https://t.co/zRrhlLRDTt — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

House Democrats “resisted” for weeks before passing humanitarian funding for the border crisis. They show little interest in reforming the laws beneath this crisis. The President has gotten more cooperation from Mexico’s government on this issue than from Democrats in Congress. https://t.co/twfl8x585p — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Research shows that hiking the minimum wage to $15 would kill jobs and depress the economy at a time when it’s thriving for the American people. We are not going to be taking that up in the Senate. https://t.co/SiyXGBDKkr — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

It’s not just a few fringe voices that are pushing socialist policies that would kill jobs and take away private healthcare. It’s the entire leadership of the Democratic Party. https://t.co/tV3e0Hjshm — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

This Republican Senate is not going to let damaging far-left ideas become law. We are fighting for all Americans, including the Kentucky miners and everybody else the last administration’s policies left behind. We won't let things like the “Green New Deal” become law. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

But some communities are still struggling to dig out from the damage of the Obama years. Republicans are focused on helping them. But prominent Democrats want to return to failed policies like the war on fossil fuels that would harm these communities even further. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Today the American people are experiencing the lowest unemployment rate in nearly 50 years. Way more job openings than job seekers. An all-American recovery that isn’t limited to just a select few places and industries. — PolitiTweet.org
