Over the past 2 yrs, 93% of the 189 US scientists investigated by NIH had failed to disclose their ties to China. This is precisely why we need to pass the Safeguarding American Innovation Act to protect US research & IP. — PolitiTweet.org

60-70% of folks on unemployment are making more than they did on their job because of the additional $600 a week in federal UI benefit. That’s a disincentive to go back to work. Our goal ought to be to get people back to work & I think a “return-to-work” bonus will do just that. https://t.co/vQn8iNk2ra — PolitiTweet.org

Americans want to see progress on meaningful police reform. The #JUSTICEAct would help improve law enforcement through better training, increased transparency & stronger accountability. I hope my Dem colleagues will stop blocking debate on this important bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Pleased to join the Dayton Development Coalition’s virtual fly-in & discuss the federal response to the #COVID19 pandemic & the numerous wins for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in the 2021 NDAA. These victories will benefit not only Wright-Patt, but the entire Dayton community. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The fact that Senate Democrats voted to block debate and an open amendment process on meaningful police reforms is outrageous and unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

There are a number of problems we have to resolve in our relationship with China - and among the most pressing is their theft of our research and IP, which China has been systematically doing for two decades. My Safeguarding American Innovation Act will help stop this. https://t.co/TgLQNsQZsB — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

We need to work together to find solutions that address racial disparities & promote stronger communities that treat each other with dignity & respect. The #JUSTICEAct is an important step forward on police reform, increasing transparency & accountability.https://t.co/axfuVcBEJl — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The #JUSTICEAct takes responsible steps to improve law enforcement through better training, increased transparency & heightened accountability. Instead of working together, it appears the Democrats will block the Senate from even debating this bill. That’s entirely irresponsible — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This cannot continue. That is why I've introduced a bill to shine a light on the billions of foreign dollars flowing into our schools. https://t.co/psAdwhhENb — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Earlier this year, the Dept of Education followed up on our investigation and revealed that U.S. schools failed to report approximately $6.5 billion in foreign gift funding. https://t.co/kxZefOIj9Z — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Last year, PSI’s investigation found that nearly 70% of US schools failed to comply w/ foreign gift reporting rules for funding related to China’s Confucius Institutes. These funds often come w/ strings attached that undermine academic freedom. https://t.co/EpEXd7xufR — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

China & other foreign adversaries are actively exploiting the lack of transparency in our higher ed system. New reports that US colleges received $1B+ in anonymous funds from donors in China, Russia, Qatar & Saudi Arabia are just the tip of the iceberg. https://t.co/3SKC5wRqII — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

For 2 decades, the Chinese Communist Party has been systematically targeting promising US taxpayer-funded research and researchers and paying them to hand that research over to China. This has gone on long enough. I’ve introduced sweeping, bipartisan legislation to stop it. https://t.co/ynCXbguzdX — PolitiTweet.org

Today is #WorldRainforestDay—an important reminder of our shared responsibility to protect one of earth’s most precious resources: our rainforests. Pleased that my Tropical Forest Conservation Act has already helped facilitate 2 major deals to protect rainforests in Peru & Brazil — PolitiTweet.org

Heartbroken to hear of Sgt. Wolf Weninger’s passing. Sgt. Weninger will be remembered as a smart, determined and principled young man who dedicated his life to serving his country. Jane and I are sending our love and prayers to his family, friends and fellow Marines. https://t.co/1rvwW0sPjk — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Thank you to President Snyder and @cwru for lending your support to the Safeguarding American Innovation Act. I look forward to working together to ensure the ground-breaking research conducted at @cwru is protected from foreign adversaries. https://t.co/xH0631nDJO — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Chinese Communist Party is using the research and IP they steal from us to fuel their military and economic growth. We cannot allow this to continue. That’s why, last week, I introduced legislation to finally safeguard our research enterprise. https://t.co/u69yldBTVz — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

In January, the @WSJ found that more than 100 Texas A&M University System professors were involved with a Chinese talent-recruitment program, even though only five had disclosed their participation. https://t.co/tkw3A5rbAT — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Recently 54 Scientists with NIH grants were fired for failing to disclose foreign ties. In 93% of these cases investigated by NIH, these scientists failed to disclose their ties to China. https://t.co/7PgylUP5Hl — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Last year after a yearlong investigation, I released a PSI report showing that China has been using talent recruitment programs to steal U.S. taxpayer-funded research and IP for more than 2 decades. https://t.co/8xS7Gi5FMp — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

US taxpayer-funded research and innovation conducted in classrooms and research facilities across the country play a crucial role in fueling America’s economic growth and scientific breakthroughs. They are also a prime target for theft from China and other global competitors. — PolitiTweet.org

Ohio's 8 beautiful nat'l parks attract millions of visitors annually. But sadly, yrs of unaddressed wear & tear have resulted in $114M in unmet maintenance needs. The good news is that this wk the Senate passed the Restore Our Parks Act, which will help address this problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This week, the Senate passed the Restore Our Parks Act - landmark legislation that will support more than 100k jobs and ensure our nation's most beautiful & pristine lands are safeguarded for years to come. https://t.co/OAnd1RwCse — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

For nearly 20 yrs, #China has been systematically stealing US research and IP for its own military and economic gain. We can't allow China's actions to continue unchecked. So this week I introduced legislation to ensure our IP and innovation is protected. https://t.co/d1rhicMYX0 — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I appreciate the @ClevelandClinic support for the Safeguarding American Innovation Act. The Cleveland Clinic is among the world’s preeminent research institutions. This legislation will ensure those breakthroughs & that innovation are protected from foreign threats. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

We cannot afford to continue to look the other way as #China steals our taxpayer-funded research and uses it against us. The Safeguarding American Innovation Act, which I intro’d this week, is a commonsense, nonpartisan way to stop this rampant theft. https://t.co/u69yldBTVz — PolitiTweet.org
