Next week the Homeland Security & Gov't Affairs & Rules Committees will hold the first hearing on the security failures at the Capitol on Jan 6th. This hearing will help inform what reforms need to be made to ensure something like this never happens again.https://t.co/WpyR30LQBN — PolitiTweet.org

For 125 yrs the Senate has honored George Washington's birthday with a reading of his farewell address. This year I will have the honor of continuing this cherished tradition. Looking forward to delivering Washington's farewell address when the Senate reconvenes next Monday. — PolitiTweet.org

Deeply troubled by the report from @TheLeadCNN & @IvanCNN detailing the ongoing genocidal atrocities being committed by the Chinese Communist Party against the Uighurs in Xinjiang. President Biden must unequivocally condemn China for their crimes against humanity. — PolitiTweet.org

96 yrs ago Ohio-native Debart Hubbard became the 1st Black American to win an individual Olympic gold medal. He also founded the Cincinnati Tigers Negro League Baseball team. I hope you'll join me in honoring Hubbard’s impressive achievements & lasting impact. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/L8rlHJPEdC — PolitiTweet.org

I urge the Biden admin to step up collaborative efforts with Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, & El Salvador to discourage migration & provide alternatives for those fleeing persecution and seeking asylum while safeguarding our border. https://t.co/8v8SzzOhse — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Considering reports that migration at the southern border has returned to pre-COVID levels, I’m concerned that the Biden admin’s changes to migration policy will incentivize a surge while we continue to face humanitarian challenges & the ongoing pandemic.https://t.co/NVfahgsnaW — PolitiTweet.org

This is welcome development. The global shortage of semiconductor chips is having a serious negative impact on our auto manufacturers. I look forward to working together w the admin to alleviate the impact of the shortage & promote increased production of these vital chips. — PolitiTweet.org

Bob Dole is an American hero and one of the preeminent statesmen of our time. My prayers go out to @SenatorDole and his family. We are pulling for you, Senator! — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s an exciting day for science and space exploration. Around 2:15pm EST, @NASAPersevere rover will touch down on the Red Planet. Its mission: search for signs of ancient microbial life. Make sure to tune in as @NASA makes history! https://t.co/oLaMosZm3L — PolitiTweet.org

In the coming months, the Biden admin will be filling 3 District Court vacancies in Ohio. @SenSherrodBrown & I are teaming up to provide the admin with the best candidates for these important judicial appointments. If you are interested in serving, I encourage you to apply today: — PolitiTweet.org

Mark your calendars → @OHdeptofhealth will be holding a series of virtual town halls for minority communities next week answering questions about and discussing the safety & efficacy of the #COVID19 vaccine. Learn more at https://t.co/WwAWZdjXek — PolitiTweet.org

Exciting announcement from @JobsOhio today that Central Ohio will be added as an Innovation District. This will lead to increased investment across the region as well as job creation in research and #STEM fields. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Excellent piece by Benjamin Linas from BU Med School. Remote learning has led to an increase in youth depression & anxiety along with losses in learning progress. The science on this issue is clear. It's time to safely reopen schools and get our kids back in the classroom. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

It is unacceptable that China is not sharing #COVID19 data. China has crucial data that may shed light on the origins of the outbreak and help us prevent future pandemics. They need to release the data immediately. https://t.co/Ywpd6OVs3l — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Honored to be chosen to read George Washington’s historic farewell address when the Senate reconvenes next Monday. This is one of the Senate’s most cherished traditions - one that has taken place every year since 1896. Very much looking forward to it! — PolitiTweet.org

Far too many Americans find themselves stuck in the shadows, struggling to hold down meaningful employment. The Work Opportunity Tax Credit is one proven way to help. It provides these folks w real opportunity in the form of a well paying, stable job. — PolitiTweet.org

Lou Stokes was the 1st African-American member of Congress from Ohio & a Cleveland icon. He dedicated his life to helping those around him & left an indelible mark on his community. As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, I hope you will join me in paying tribute to Lou Stokes’ life. — PolitiTweet.org

The surge in overdoses and opioid abuse over the past year is a wake-up call to us all. The #COVID19 pandemic has exacerbated the addiction epidemic and Congress needs to respond in-kind with bold, bipartisan action. https://t.co/CDNfb5ttgg — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Today, we honor the life and legacy of our first President, George Washington, and those who've followed in his footsteps by serving as Commander-in-Chief. Best wishes for a happy Presidents Day! — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Biden admin's new goal of reopening 50% of classrooms for 1 day a week is woefully insufficient. Congress has already approved $82B to help schools around the country reopen. Let’s follow the science and get our kids safely back in the classroom. https://t.co/8JSwFDKRQz — PolitiTweet.org

The American people deserve full transparency regarding how and where Confucius Institutes operate in the United States & I’ve introduced legislation to help them get it. https://t.co/3GHqw99iQH — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

One of the tragic consequences of the COVID pandemic has been a surge in drug addiction & overdoses. Combating this scourge will require bold action, such as making telehealth services permanent & bolstering options for those in need of addiction treatment.https://t.co/zJ1J8NlbBx — PolitiTweet.org

“CDC officials emphasized that in-person learning has not been identified as a substantial driver of coronavirus spread in U.S. communities, and that transmission among students is now considered relatively rare.” The science is clear: it’s time to safely reopen our schools. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

New guidance from the @CDCgov: 'It is critical for schools to open as safely and as soon as possible.' Let's follow the science and get our children back in the classroom immediately. https://t.co/qVV0EUB5Wh — PolitiTweet.org

Great work by the @SummitSheriff office and other local law enforcement agencies involved in this operation. Human trafficking is a horrific crime. We must continue working together to combat it in #Ohio, the US, and around the world. https://t.co/OuzCuQwaWa — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I will continue to help lead efforts in Congress to fight this epidemic. Combating addiction must be a bipartisan priority this year. Specifically, Congress should pass #CARA 2.0 - sweeping legislation to turn the tide of addiction & support those who've been afflicted. — PolitiTweet.org
