Great news on the vaccine front → starting this Friday (3/19) folks over the age of 40 will be eligible to get their shots. And in just 13 days, on March 29th, all Ohioans 16 yrs old and over will be able to get vaccinated! The finish line is in sight. #InThisTogetherOhio https://t.co/eP9TaJZ9Wm — PolitiTweet.org

Great virtual meeting today with the @grtakronchamber today. Had a productive discussion about our efforts to combat addiction, bolster workforce development & support the economic recovery as we emerge from the #COVID19 crisis. Looking forward to meeting in person again soon! https://t.co/gKB5gvSQSO — PolitiTweet.org

Police officers put their lives on the line every day to keep our families and our communities safe. Today I introduced legislation to strengthen the federal penalties imposed upon violent criminals who intentionally target our brave men and women in blue. — PolitiTweet.org

My staff toured the Wolstein Center and received an update from the @FEMA Region 5 Acting Administrator. Very impressive operation. Great to see federal and state officials working hand-in-hand to help ensure folks in underserved and vulnerable communities get the vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org

Exciting news: @FEMA’s mass vaccination clinic at @CLE_State's Wolstein Center is officially up and running. Starting tomorrow, they will administer upwards of 6,000 shots per day! Register to get your shot at https://t.co/mWUAa7dQGk. https://t.co/EGpMbNjBcS — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud of this record, but we need to do more not only to defend our networks but go on the offense to deter nation-states like Russia and non-state actors from future attacks like this. As Ranking Member of #HSGAC, I will work on a bipartisan basis to ensure this happens. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Over the years, I’ve worked across the aisle on legislation to beef up our federal govt cyber capacities, including the Risk-Informed Spending for Cybersecurity Act, the Federal System Incident Response Act, the DHS Cyber Hunt and Incident Response Team Act, and others. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Congress & the executive branch have failed to prioritize cybersecurity & now we find ourselves vulnerable & exposed to foreign actors. This breach of our systems has to be a wake-up call & I look forward to hearing from experts at the #HSGAC hearing on Thursday. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Enjoyed meeting with the Sandusky Chamber of Commerce. We had a great discussion about the federal gov't response to the #COVID19 pandemic as well as my legislative priorities for the next two years. Thanks for having me! https://t.co/vjAtTbp2XS — PolitiTweet.org

RT @senrobportman: Had a great time volunteering at a #COVID19 mass vaccination site in Cinci over the weekend. Approximately 4,000 people… — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

These are only a few of the bipartisan recommendations from Congress to ensure the safety and well-being of these kids. If this current crisis isn’t enough to get the admin to act, what is? — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Is the current admin enforcing a requirement that sponsors ensure that UACs appear for their immigration proceedings & working to secure pro bono legal services for children living with sponsors? — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Is @HHSgov identifying the appropriate point of contact in all 50 state governments & notifying them regarding the placement of UACs with sponsors in those states? — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Is the Biden admin fingerprinting & conducting background checks on sponsors and other adults in sponsors’ households before handing off these kids? Are they maintaining a persistent practice of follow-on welfare checks to ensure that these kids are safe? — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

In the midst of this current UAC crisis at the southern border, I urge the Biden administration to fully implement Senate bipartisan recommendations. For example: — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Had a great time volunteering at a #COVID19 mass vaccination site in Cinci over the weekend. Approximately 4,000 people came through and got a shot! Huge thanks to all the folks volunteering at vaccination sites in Ohio & nationwide. They have been doing an excellent job! https://t.co/VxQkccaTuI — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Our work spanned the previous two administrations, and each report included a detailed list of recommendations to ensure the safety & security of these vulnerable children. The Biden admin should adopt these best practices to help keep kids safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

PSI has issued 3 reports & held 3 hearings to highlight our bipartisan findings that @DHS & @HHS failed to coordinate care of UACs & failed to ensure the safety of these vulnerable children once they handed them off to sponsors. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

In 2015, as then Chairman of the Permanent Subcmte on Investigations, I performed oversight on the unaccompanied children issue at the southern border after @HHSgov placed 8 kids into the hands of human traffickers who put them into forced labor at an egg farm in Marion #Ohio. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Our government is trying to respond to sophisticated 21st century attacks with 20th century defenses, & as co-founder & co-chair of the Senate AI Caucus, I will continue to work to set high-quality standards around emerging technology, especially cybersecurity. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

These foreign actors accessed multiple public and private sector networks in the US in what was believed to be an intelligence-gathering effort. This is extremely troubling & we must redouble our efforts to shore up our cyber defenses. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

On Thursday, we will hold a #HSGAC hearing to take a deeper dive into last year’s #SolarWinds cyberattack by foreign actors, likely Russian. This was the most widespread & consequential cyberattack against the US on record. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This is great news! Tata Consultancy’s (@TCS) investment in the Cincinnati and Columbus regions will create more than 800 new jobs, spur economic growth, and help advance #Ohio as a leader in the innovative services driving our economy. https://t.co/PVudiu64HI — PolitiTweet.org

The #MarchMadness field is set. Congrats to @OhioStateHoops, @CSU_MBasketball and @OhioMBasketball on securing spots in the tournament! — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Deepfakes represent one of the most serious cybersecurity threats we will face in the coming years. As technology advances, these hyper-realistic, manipulated videos are becoming more and more indistinguishable from the real thing. https://t.co/PO074v0yuW — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I urge the admin to step up efforts to collaborate w/ our international partners, including Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, & El Salvador, to address this challenge, discourage migration, & provide alternatives for those seeking to make the dangerous journey north — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’m disappointed that @POTUS chose to dismantle policies put in place by the Trump admin to help control the flow of migrants w/out any consideration of how it’d incentivize migration. This is a crisis that needs to be addressed now. https://t.co/MxXV2thLTe — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

We’re not yet in peak season for migrant travel, so we are likely to see continued increases in unlawful immigrants and deadly narcotics at our border. We must work on a bipartisan basis at all levels of the fed govt to establish a legal & orderly process to address this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This week CBP released concerning stats for Feb 2021. 9,500+ unaccompanied kids came to our southern border, up 62% from Jan. This is a direct result of the Biden admin dismantling Trump policies with no consideration of how it would incentivize migration. https://t.co/rliyUkegbw — PolitiTweet.org
