Both sides of the aisle have talked a lot about the border crisis. But that’s all House Democrats have done: talk. It’s Senate Republicans who have worked towards a productive, bipartisan compromise that would begin to address the humanitarian crisis at the border. https://t.co/rje9ca2g11 — PolitiTweet.org

I was surprised to hear my colleague the Democratic Leader call for postponing this defense legislation so Democrats running for president can skip town. National security comes first. The Republican majority will be right here, working and voting to make America stronger. https://t.co/YsemnPycl3 — PolitiTweet.org

Current events are a stark reminder of the Senate’s responsibility in maintaining our military's readiness. This week we’re considering critical defense legislation that would authorize vital investments in American strength. It deserves huge bipartisan support and swift passage. — PolitiTweet.org

Iran’s aggression, violence, and threats to global commerce affect the entire world. I hope all nations will join the United States and its allies in condemning Tehran and imposing significant consequences for its hostile acts. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

I am pleased that President Trump has announced his intent to nominate Secretary of the Army Mark Esper to serve as Secretary of Defense. Mr. Esper’s distinguished military service and record of leadership at the Pentagon make him an outstanding choice. https://t.co/JvgOVtDK1R — PolitiTweet.org

It is encouraging to see our neighbors working enthusiastically to make the USMCA a reality. I urge Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats to catch up to our neighbors and begin to advance the USMCA. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

I was glad to speak with @JustinTrudeau yesterday. We discussed several important matters that the United States and Canada are tackling together as neighbors and friends, including the USMCA. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Last night, Iran shot down a U.S. drone that was in international airspace. Just one more reminder about the need for cutting-edge national defense and military readiness. That’s exactly what the defense legislation the Senate is currently considering would help accomplish. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

So the Senate is moving forward. Yesterday the Appropriations Committee approved funding for the border crisis on a huge bipartisan margin – 30-1. Now we need to consider this urgent bill on the Senate floor. I hope the needs of our nation will finally win out over partisanship. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

House Democrats have stood by for weeks, doing nothing about the humanitarian crisis on the border. They’ve ignored agencies’ pleas for more funding. Because the far left can hardly bring itself to accomplish anything other than picking fights with the President. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Ambassador Kelly Knight Craft is a distinguished stateswoman and leader and a proud Kentuckian. Her experience in international affairs has won respect both at home and abroad. President Trump has made an outstanding selection for our next Ambassador to the United Nations. https://t.co/RO810PyL5A — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

So today, the Senate is moving forward on the border crisis. The Senate Appropriations Committee just approved a funding package with overwhelming bipartisan support. This a big step toward finally helping our overstretched agencies. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

For seven weeks, House Democrats have delayed the emergency funding that is badly needed for the humanitarian crisis on our southern border. They have chosen to pick political fights with President Trump rather than get serious about finding compromise solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

The Senate is turning to crucial legislation that will strengthen our national defense. It will strengthen our partnerships in the most troubled regions of the world and ensure the U.S. military remains the most prepared, best-equipped, and most lethal fighting force in the world — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Given the precarious international situations and challenges facing our nation, I’m encouraged that the next Acting Secretary of Defense will be an experienced, tested, and capable leader such as Secretary Esper. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

I want to express my admiration for the people of Hong Kong and their strong but peaceful response to this proposed encroachment on their autonomy. I’m glad to see their leaders respect their willingness to stand their ground. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Iran’s corrupt regime must not be rewarded for terror and intimidation by threatening the freedom of navigation in international waters. I support the administration’s prudent efforts for the purpose of defense and deterrence to protect American interests in the Middle East. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Let there be no doubt: While the United States does not seek conflict, we must be prepared to decisively defeat our adversaries if conflict is forced upon us. We need to remain engaged, prepared, and powerful. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

The National Defense Authorization Act is crucial, bipartisan legislation that will help maintain and expand our alliances and partnerships around the globe, as well as our own ability to stand firm amidst growing global unrest. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

What we're seeing on the Democratic side is a debate about whether socialism would be a good thing. I never thought in my lifetime we would be debating the merits of the free enterprise system. American free enterprise has been an historic success for our nation and its families. https://t.co/TQEMf7RZlv — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

It’s safe to say the President is getting more cooperation from Mexico than he is out of Congressional Democrats. We wanted to set aside $5 billion weeks ago to deal with the humanitarian crisis at the border, but Democrats insisted on stripping it out. https://t.co/rUr3Uv7Du2 — PolitiTweet.org

When it comes to judicial nominations, my motto for the 116th Congress is “leave no vacancy behind.” https://t.co/TZ6Fmfigcy — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

For the first time in my memory, I actually agree with Nancy Pelosi: I am the grim reaper when it comes to stopping the Democrats' socialist agenda. https://t.co/mjQaJUPirb — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

I’ll be on with @IngrahamAngle this evening at 10PM ET to talk about the border crisis, judicial confirmations and stopping socialism. https://t.co/8Bq3L6h44q — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

It’s inexcusable that Democrats have opposed emergency resources for the border crisis simply because they don’t like the occupant of the White House. “The Resistance” doesn’t pay the bills or keep America safe. I hope my Democratic colleagues can finally get serious soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Everyone knows there’s a crisis on our southern border. The officials on the ground. The experts at Homeland Security. The Trump administration. Republicans in Congress. Everybody knows we need to act — except House Democrats who continue to stand in the way of emergency funding. — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

Next week, the Senate Appropriations Committee will vote on badly needed funding for humanitarian and security missions on the border. We’ll do what everyone knows must be done. We'll see if our Democratic colleagues are finally ready to put partisanship aside and get to “yes.” — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

We’ve been waiting for six weeks for Democrats to get serious about the crisis on our southern border. The entire country can see the need for more resources, but House Democrats are more focused on picking fights with the president. So Senate Republicans are going to take action — PolitiTweet.org

Leader McConnell @LeaderMcConnell

When will our Democratic colleagues get serious? The humanitarian crisis at the border is in serious need of funding and resources. Democrats are busy engaging in partisan messaging, political theater, and cannot seem to get past their animosity for the President. https://t.co/uBPMANU46j — PolitiTweet.org
