Thanks to the dozens of African-American leaders from across Ohio who joined me for a call this wk to discuss George Floyd’s tragic death, the need to address racial injustice & how the #COVID19 health care & economic crisis is disproportionately impacting people of color. — PolitiTweet.org

Good news in the economy Friday. Now that we are safely reopening, we need to ensure policies enacted at the federal level incentivize folks to safely return to the workforce. That’s exactly what my return-to-work bonus will do. https://t.co/j889A8h84J — PolitiTweet.org

The American higher ed system is a prime target for foreign espionage. China, in particular, has been systematically stealing research and innovation from US colleges for nearly two decades. I will be introducing legislation this week to put a stop to it.https://t.co/RktEQfVqsk — PolitiTweet.org

Last year - as we marked the 75th anniversary of D-Day - I had the honor of reading FDR’s D-Day prayer, after successfully passing legislation to add the prayer to the WWII Memorial. President Roosevelt’s D-Day prayer helped comfort the nation in a time of great uncertainty. https://t.co/ricXJ65gSB — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the 76th anniversary of D-Day, when 160k Allied soldiers landed in Normandy and turned the tide of WW2. With the fate of the free world hanging in the balance, the Greatest Generation rose to the occasion. We will never forget their bravery & sacrifice. https://t.co/VgzDKWTTiP — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot take America's AI leadership for granted. We need to redouble our efforts with a sustained commitment to the best and brightest by developing a national research cloud to ensure our technical researchers get the tools they need to succeed. https://t.co/3waQxYWIBm — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

China’s sweeping and systematic theft of taxpayer funded research and IP undermines our higher ed system, economy and national security. I will be introducing legislation this week to finally put an end to it.https://t.co/RktEQfVqsk — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Very encouraged by yesterday’s surprisingly strong jobs report. With more workers needed as the economy reopens, Congress should accelerate the recovery by implementing my “return to work bonus” proposal to incentive folks to return to the workforce. https://t.co/j889A8h84J — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

"The eyes of the world are upon you. The hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.” We are eternally grateful to the brave men who landed in Normandy 76yrs ago today & we will never forget those who laid down their lives to preserve & protect freedom. https://t.co/zQXovPfqzg — PolitiTweet.org

I hope you will join me in watching the virtual memorial service this morning at 11am for Annie Glenn. She was a strong woman with a gracious nature, and a dear friend of Jane’s and mine. Watch here: https://t.co/Vno6NDGTpt https://t.co/1IjWKdeeDt — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s jobs report is encouraging news for our economy & our workers. But we are not out of the woods. The economic recovery is just beginning & our policies must reflect that reality. My $450 return to work bonus proposal would help get Americans back in the workplace. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Based on today's jobs report, it's clear the PPP helped prevent higher levels of unemployment by keeping workers on payrolls, and the bill signed today will help bring more workers back to the workforce while bolstering the economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Thanks to @POTUS for signing into law the bill the Senate passed this week to improve flexibility in the #PaycheckProtectionProgram, so #smallbiz can take full advantage of this relief. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Appreciate the BOP, DOJ, and White House for working with me to ensure 100% testing at Elkton federal prison in Lisbon, OH. It is crucial we keep tracking to ensure the welfare of the inmates, personnel & those in the surrounding community. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Today @HUDgov announced $26M in grants for cities across Ohio to help housing authorities manage the skyrocketing expenses caused by the coronavirus pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Joined the @scottsands show yesterday to discuss my return-to-work bonus proposal to incentivize folks to safely return to the workplace & bolster the economy. We also discussed my upcoming bill to protect US taxpayer-funded research. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Pleased to share some happy news: After spending two years in an Iranian prison, Navy veteran Michael White has been released and is on his way home! https://t.co/sfUjFnsncn — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

.@SenatorCardin, @SenatorLankford, @SenBooker & I are introducing a bill to ensure the SBA does not deny aid to small business owners w criminal records. These folks have turned their lives around, started a business & contribute to the community. We should have their backs. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Today marks 31 years since the Tiananmen Square massacre. As Americans, we will always stand by individuals fighting for freedom. https://t.co/aoI5vHWOGN — PolitiTweet.org

Devastating report by @WorldResources shows increased losses of our tropical forests. My Tropical Forest Conservation Act has helped protect 67M+ acres of tropical forests & can be the model for the US to lead #TrillionTrees efforts to reduce deforestation.https://t.co/j85N3O4Q5b — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Senate just passed a measure to improve the #PaycheckProtectionProgram by providing #smallbiz w/ the added flexibility they need to take full advantage of the benefits of this relief. This will ensure PPP continues to serve as an invaluable lifeline to millions of #smallbiz. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

What happened to George Floyd was outrageous and should never happen to anyone in America. The charges announced today are another positive step forward towards delivering justice to his family. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

For nearly 20 years, China has been systematically stealing US taxpayer-funded technology, research & IP from our universities and research institutions. Today, I am introducing bipartisan legislation w/ @SenatorCarper to finally put a stop to it. https://t.co/RktEQfVqsk — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

.@SenSherrodBrown & I recently introduced a bill to help vets who were exposed to toxic burn pits while serving our nation. We owe our servicemembers a great debt of gratitude for the safety & freedom we enjoy every day. We must ensure they're taken care of when they come home. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The anger on display is real and it deserves to be heard and respected. But the answer is not violence. The answer is to insist justice be served. To listen to those who have felt the sting of racism. And to work together to address racial injustices going forward. https://t.co/plMfnxxHOS — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

We cannot allow the recent acts of racial injustice to fade from the public’s consciousness and have us move silently back to the status quo. It is time for us to have a robust and inclusive national dialogue on racial inequities & how we move forward as a country. https://t.co/0UjeAbMkYU — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

What happened to George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery is outrageous and unacceptable. We must all demand that justice be served, fully and thoroughly. We are a nation of laws, and we must work to uphold those laws to protect everyone. https://t.co/MctjJzJVOH — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

In a few moments, I will be speaking on the @Senatefloor about #GeorgeFloyd, the pain America is feeling, and the need for a robust & inclusive national dialogue about how we move forward as a country. Tune in via https://t.co/6sIP9hiEdD — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Those who are engaging in violence must stop & I support the decision of @GovMikeDeWine to activate the #Ohio National Guard at the request of @MayorGinther to protect our citizens and the city of Columbus. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I strongly support the right of those who are peacefully protesting & shining the light on the tragic death of George Floyd. — PolitiTweet.org
