This common-sense legislation is included in the U.S. Innovation & Competition Act, which invests more than $100B of taxpayer $$ to solidify the US’s leadership in scientific & tech innovation critical to our nat’l security & economic competitiveness. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

My bipartisan Safeguarding American Innovation Act is the result of a year-long, bipartisan investigation I led as then Chair of #PSI that detailed how US taxpayers have been unwittingly funding the rise of China’s military & economy over the last two decades. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Great to celebrate my friend Pastor Peterson Mingo today. He’s a humble servant of the Lord who has devoted his life to lifting up young people and those seeking a second chance the community of Cincinnati and beyond. https://t.co/6vLDTpTUiK — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The president’s budget calls for raising taxes on hard-working middle-class families, undermines American innovation, and increases federal spending to levels not seen since the second World War. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

That’s why I introduced bipartisan legislation to prepare for future surges and to deter these surges from happening by creating a strategic plan and contingency fund for immediate needs at our southern border. https://t.co/Im3NMRchZd — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

.@DHSgov and Border Patrol are currently seeing a surge of the highest numbers of single adults in the last two decades. Our border is not secure and DHS was not prepared for this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

We have a responsibility to take care of the brave men & women who answer the call to serve. This development brings us one step closer to fulfilling that duty. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Good news to share: This week a key Senate committee approved my legislation to help vets who were exposed to toxic burn pits while serving our nation. https://t.co/qJnG9kW7IV — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The federal govt’s expanded UI supplement made sense during the heat of the pandemic. But things have changed. We now have vaccines and more than 8 million job openings. It’s time to stop paying some people more to stay home than return to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Our country is too deeply divided already & needs to heal from the wounds caused by the attack on January 6 – not divide further due to a partisan commission report. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

It’s important that this commission be viewed as nonpartisan and equal, so that Americans can have confidence in its findings. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Leader @SenSchumer assured me that he supported including a proposed amendment by @SenatorCollins which addresses my concerns, Including that Republican appointed vice chair has to approve the staff. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I've made it clear that I can only support the legislation in the end if there are some common-sense changes to ensure the commission is nonpartisan & fair. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I believe an objective, independent outside commission can build on that report and ensure a complete picture for the American people, including why the attack occurred and who was involved. That’s why I voted to move ahead with debate on the legislation earlier this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Part of that will be provided the week of June 7, by the joint HSGAC/Rules Committee bipartisan report. I am one of the leaders of that effort which will focus on the Capitol security and intelligence failures leading up to and on January 6. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The January 6 attack on the Capitol was an attack on democracy itself. To keep it from happening again, a fair and objective investigation into what led to the attack, the lack of preparedness at the Capitol, and the slow response on that day are needed. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I have urged my colleagues to join me in supporting my common-sense bipartisan Preventing Disaster Revictimization Act to prevent @FEMA from taking back assistance it has provided to victims of disaster due to an error made by the agency. https://t.co/sTPd5nbEmE — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Vaccines are widely available and there are more job openings in the United States right now than at any point in our nation’s history. Let's stop the fed govt disincentive to help folks get back to work and strengthen the economy.https://t.co/u85RxmC3ZH — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This #MemorialDay weekend, we join together as a country to honor the brave men and women who have given their lives in defense of the freedoms we all enjoy every day. We will never forget their service and sacrifice. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Biden admin’s budget calls for $340M for #GLRI, a $10M increase from last year. I will fight for more funding, consistent with the full authorization of $375M enacted through my GLRI Act, which renews the program for the next five years. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’ve successfully led efforts to restore #GLRI funding when previous administrations of both parties have tried to cut or eliminate it altogether. I will work with this new administration to ensure stable funding to protect this critical initiative. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Great Lakes are an invaluable resource to #Ohio, and the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative has been a successful public-private partnership that helps protect both our environment and our economy #GLRI — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I am proud to have helped lead efforts to keep JSMC Lima viable during a critical time and I will continue to fight tirelessly to keep our military strong and supplied with the best weapons. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The JSMC and our #Ohio workers are not just making our country safer, they’re supporting our allies around the world during some very dangerous times. JSMC Lima is a strategic asset for the United States and its workers are key contributors to our nation’s defense and security. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The best tanks and armored vehicles in the world are made at JSMC, and it is absolutely critical that we maintain funding for the vehicles modified and built at this military facility. #Ohio — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

It is vital that our troops have the best equipment in the world, which is why our tanks must be continually upgraded. These key modifications are done by the strategic workforce at the Lima Tank Plant. #Ohio — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I'm disappointed to see the Biden admin supporting budget cuts for modernization of the Abrams Main Battle Tank at the Lima Joint Systems Manufacturing Center. During the Trump admin we saw increases in the level of modernization funding and the Biden admin is taking a step back. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

UNRWA continues show it is in need of serious reform. As I wrote to @SecBlinken last month, it has employed individuals affiliated with Hamas and has an inflated & duplicative structure. The administration must secure reforms before funding this agency.https://t.co/nWWkDkphzf — PolitiTweet.org

My team and I are monitoring the storm in and around the City of Port Clinton. Many thanks to the police, fire and EMS personnel who have quickly responded to the situation. Everyone please stay safe!https://t.co/OUpLkskZn4 — PolitiTweet.org
