Congrats to the team @NASA and @SpaceX on the launch today! Here’s to the beginning of the next great chapter of American space exploration. — PolitiTweet.org

The rioting, looting and destruction of property we have also seen is not the way forward. It only drives us further apart and also can never be acceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

What happened to George Floyd was tragic and can never be acceptable. The video was painful to watch and we should all be angry, insist that justice be served, and begin a deeper dialogue on the way forward as we heard at peaceful demonstrations in Ohio today. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The anger is understandable, and of course people have a right to peacefully protest, but meeting violence with violence makes things worse. We need to have a real dialogue about how we make more progress towards racial equality on a number of fronts. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Riots resulting in looting, destroying property and small businesses are not the answer. Violent responses will only future divide our polarized country. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Recent events like those in Central Park, Brunswick, GA, & Minneapolis are unacceptable. We need to acknowledge when racial disparities & injustices occur, and work together to address them. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Encouraged that today an officer was arrested and charged w/ murder in #GeorgeFloyd case. As I said on Wednesday and again today in Dayton, what happened was outrageous, and justice must be done. — PolitiTweet.org

Enjoyed visiting @daytonnhp today to tour the facilities & see the maintenance needs firsthand. Our natl parks are facing $12B in maintenance backlog. In the nxt several wks, the Senate will act on my Restore Our Parks Act to safeguard these natl treasures for generations to come https://t.co/b01qnyHSFH — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Our National Parks are an important part of American heritage. We have a responsibility to ensure they are preserved and protected for future generations. The Restore Our Parks Act will help address deferred maintenance needs at Nat'l Parks & federal lands. https://t.co/qdVT73RHsZ — PolitiTweet.org

Many thanks to the leaders of NE Ohio community colleges for taking time this morning to discuss the path forward to safely reopen so they can continue providing students w/ the high-quality but affordable education they need to reach their God-given potential. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Today @cvspharmacy announced that it will be opening 34 new #COVID19 testing sites across Ohio! This will help provide additional testing capacity statewide. It's great to see so many companies stepping up to help out during this crisis. https://t.co/vLjWlRqZbF — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Glad we were able to help! Appreciate you and @LeeZurik bringing it to our attention. — PolitiTweet.org

China’s rampant theft of US taxpayer-funded research and intellectual property has gone on unchecked for nearly 20 years. This is unacceptable. I will soon be introducing legislation to stop it. https://t.co/H1hqQ5bSZk — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation at Elkton federal prison in Lisbon, Ohio. I’m concerned that the level of testing has not increased to the levels I was promised by the Bureau of Prisons. The lack of sufficient testing there remains unacceptable. Lives are at stake. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

As America begins to reopen we are encouraging folks to safely return to the workplace. One way to accomplish that goal is a “return to work” bonus. This approach will help workers, small businesses, and taxpayers, all while helping to get our economy back up and running. https://t.co/kgKlGIEd72 — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Pleased by @POTUS's decision to extend the National Guard’s deployment through Aug. Since the beginning of this crisis, the men & women of the Nat'l Guard have been on the front lines supporting relief+recovery efforts. We are immensely grateful for their hard work & dedication. — PolitiTweet.org

Jane and I are praying for the two Columbus Police Officers injured in a shooting this morning as well as their families & the entire police department. Hoping for a safe recovery for all involved. https://t.co/wLNG860gsX — PolitiTweet.org

The tragic death of George Floyd warrants an immediate and thorough investigation. Justice must be served. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Johnson was an American hero who dedicated his life to serving the nation he loved. He was a man of character whose decency and integrity earned him the respect of everyone who knew him. I was honored to serve w/ him in the House & call him my friend.https://t.co/iPNWX06jfe — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Congratulations to the class of 2020! You should be very proud of what you’ve accomplished. As you begin the next chapter in your life during these uncertain times, I urge you to work hard, chart your own path and be ever kind and true. https://t.co/AYnYcYjdBr — PolitiTweet.org

Important news from the IRS: Roughly 4 million Americans will receive their stimulus payment in the form of a prepaid debit card, which will arrive in a plain envelope from “Money Network Cardholder Services.” Keep an eye on your mailbox. https://t.co/qVUxBvs3I1 — PolitiTweet.org

GOOD NEWS: Earlier today, FEMA announced that ProMedica Toledo Hospital will be receiving a $5.5M+ grant to help ensure the hospital has the emergency protective measures necessary to continue to respond to the #COVID19 pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This is terrific news for businesses throughout the state of Ohio. These funds will go a long way towards helping businesses weather the storm and prepare to safely reopen. — PolitiTweet.org

These tough & uncertain times can take a real toll on our mental health. May is Mental Health Month - an important reminder to pay special attention to our well-being and make an effort to reach out to those around us. https://t.co/xbp1HHktBr — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I appreciate @larry_kudlow voicing support for my back-to-work bonus proposal. This is a common-sense solution to get folks back to work safely while also putting a few more $$ in their pockets. I look forward to working w the @WhiteHouse to make it happen.https://t.co/HVxPhrInYN — PolitiTweet.org

When we created the expanded unemployment benefits, we were encouraging folks to stay home. Now as America begins to reopen we are encouraging folks to return to the workplace. One way to accomplish that goal is a “return to work” bonus. https://t.co/x9rlVhZ6Cy — PolitiTweet.org

Good to speak with employers from all around Butler County this morning. It is clear that folks are focused on safely returning to work and getting the economy going again. I was encouraged to hear about local efforts already underway. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I also had a chance to place flags on the gravestones of two veterans special to me: my father, a veteran of WWII and my grandfather, a veteran of WWI. We are grateful to so many brave Americans who have answered the call to serve. https://t.co/mKLQ01uzBJ — PolitiTweet.org

The shrine to Matt is a humbling reminder of the price of freedom. We must never forget his service or the sacrifice he and his wonderful family have made. — PolitiTweet.org
