.@ABC: “Opioid overdoses 29% higher in 2020 than before the pandemic” These heartbreaking figures underscore the negative impact #COVID19 has had on our fight against drug and opioid addiction. https://t.co/CDNfb5ttgg — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Joined @theHill for their virtual event on #COVID19 and the opioid epidemic this afternoon. We had an excellent, in-depth conversation about my #CARA & #STOP laws to help curb addiction & how I plan to build on them over the next 2 yrs. https://t.co/CzAlsNNKzL — PolitiTweet.org

I’m pleased OMB nominee Tanden committed to me Tuesday that, if confirmed, she will prioritize cybersecurity. The #SolarWinds cyberattacks were a wakeup call & it’s time for transparency & increased cybersecurity measures. https://t.co/wstnJviVTG — PolitiTweet.org

I want to thank US Attorney David DeVillers for his outstanding service to Ohio & the US Dept of Justice. He helped lead the charge on tackling public corruption, combating human trafficking & stopping violent crime. I wish him all the best moving forward.https://t.co/5pziueJzdM — PolitiTweet.org

Absent full transparency regarding how and where Confucius Institutes operate, Confucius Institutes should not operate in the United States and be allowed to influence American students. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

In 2019 I led a bipartisan investigation into Confucius Institutes, which revealed a stunning lack of transparency about how Confucius Institutes operate in the US & how they are controlled, funded & largely staffed by the Chinese Communist Party https://t.co/JNFCHwB0L7 — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Chinese Gov't uses Confucius Institutes to spread communist propaganda & stifle academic freedom at our colleges and universities. I am deeply disappointed by the Biden admin's decision to allow these entities to operate & influence our students. — PolitiTweet.org

Marty Schottenheimer was a larger than life figure to all of us living in Ohio during the mid to late 80s. He turned the Browns into an NFL powerhouse & will be remembered as one of the best coaches in NFL history. My prayers are with his family during this difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

Great Editorial from @toledonews outlining the importance of a Nat’l Memorial to Fallen Journalists. I've led this effort because I believe a memorial will serve as a fitting & necessary tribute to journalists who've made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of the 1st Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

As a former OMB Director, I know that it’s crucial that the OMB is headed by someone who will work across the aisle to confront the challenges we face as a nation. Cooperation across the aisle is vital as we confront several crises at once. https://t.co/ieS3NIdTQ3 — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I look forward to serving as Ranking Member on the Senate Homeland Security & Gov't Affairs Committee & working with @SenGaryPeters to conduct bipartisan oversight of our federal agencies and craft legislation to safeguard #Ohio and our country from growing threats. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This is great news for the Dayton region! I’m excited to see the Conservancy, along with local investment, use these funds to protect the Old North Dayton area from flooding. This will help safeguard lives, properties, jobs & businesses in the region.https://t.co/pKV48KmZWW — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Biden admin’s decision to restrict access to opioid addiction treatments will result in more people dying because they could not get treatment. Overdoses continue to rise during the pandemic. I strongly urge the admin to swiftly reverse their decision.https://t.co/zTntcUd92i — PolitiTweet.org

The longer we keep our children out of the classroom, the more severe the individual, societal and economic consequences will be. It’s time to safely reopen our schools! https://t.co/VWLdcRKtIy — PolitiTweet.org

Far too many Americans find themselves stuck in the shadows, struggling to hold down meaningful employment. The Work Opportunity Tax Credit provides these folks w real opportunity in the form of a well paying, stable job. Congress should make this vital program permanent. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Democratic economist Larry Summers and former GOP Senator and economist Phil Gramm don’t agree on much. But when they do, it’s probably worth paying attention. https://t.co/8lfLBmrBXx — PolitiTweet.org

The Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers Nat'l Monument in SW Ohio commemorates the life & legacy of Charles Young—the Army's 1st Black colonel. Excited to see this historic landmark chosen as the @NatlParkService's Getaway for #BlackHistoryMonth! — PolitiTweet.org

I'm saddened to hear of Congressman Ron Wright's passing. Jane and I are keeping his wife, Susan, the entire Wright family, his friends, and his colleagues in the House in our prayers. https://t.co/EBQb40HqaI — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Unfunded gov’t mandates impose excessive & costly burdens on businesses - undermining their ability to grow, invest & create jobs. That’s why @SenatorLankford, @senatorfischer & I intro'd legislation this week to get the govt out of the way, freeing employers to create new jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

In the passing of George Shultz we lost a true statesman whose accomplishments and influence bridged the centuries. He was a mentor and friend whose counsel I will miss. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Our bipartisan PSI report helped wake up the fed govt to this threat. But that's not enough, we need to put a stop to it. The Safeguarding American Innovation Act is a commonsense solution. It will go a long way towards stopping China's rampant theft of our IP & research. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Another US professor was just charged with fraud in connection to secretly collaborating w the CCP. China has been stealing our taxpayer-funded IP & research for decades. our investigation found out this was a systemic issue & a natl security threat.https://t.co/bVwqMe2C3e — PolitiTweet.org

Congress and the Biden admin need to work together to alleviate the impact of the shortage and promote increased production of these vital chips. https://t.co/p4LpGtZw6Z — PolitiTweet.org

The global shortage of automotive-grade semiconductor chips is having a serious negative impact on auto manufacturers in Ohio and nationwide. https://t.co/p4LpGtZw6Z — PolitiTweet.org

Black History Month is a time for us to honor the countless contributions Black Americans have made to our nation and recommit to furthering the cause of racial equality. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/LdsdnGB6wP — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Let’s work together to pass a bipartisan #COVID19 package that is targeted and responsibly meets the most pressing needs of the American people. We've already passed 5 bipartisan COVID relief bills...why can't we do it again? — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Democrats want to jam through a $1.9T stimulus bill less than 6 weeks after we approved a $900 billion package. As Pres. Obama's fmr NEC Director notes, the Dem's proposed spending spree is more than needed with an improving economy and may actually end up hurting the economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Congress has passed $82B to help schools around the country reopen.  We need to get our children back to school and we need to be sure it’s safe. As a parent, I couldn’t feel more strongly about this. It’s time to get kids safely back in the classroom. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Since the first days of this pandemic, Republicans and Democrats have worked together, across party lines, to deliver aid and support to the American people. We’ve already passed 5 bipartisan #COIVD19 relief bills. There is no reason we can’t do it again. Let’s try! https://t.co/KiGBFcZQHv — PolitiTweet.org
