Today’s @Conferenceboard report shows that its July consumer confidence survey declined for a third consecutive month to 95.7%, the lowest since February 2021. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The risk is clear, I urge the @federalreserve to do more, working with @FBI, to counter this threat from one of our foremost foreign adversaries, #China. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I am concerned by the threat to the Fed and hope our investigation, which is based on the Fed’s own documents and corresponds with assessments and recs made by the @FBI, wakes the Fed up to the broad threat from #China to our monetary policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Based on a Federal Reserve counterintelligence analysis & unheeded FBI recs to change the Fed’s policies & procedures, this report finds the Fed has been the target of an extended & effective Chinese malign influence & info theft campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This investigation makes clear that China’s malign efforts at influence and information theft are not limited to science and technology fields — American economic & monetary policy is also being targeted by the Chinese government. https://t.co/pmp5N8yrOn — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This morning, as the lead Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, I released a report that I’ve been working on since 2020 as then Chairman of #PSI that details China’s malign efforts to target, influence, & undermine the US @federalreserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The U.S. and its allies should continue to provide #Ukraine with what it needs to protect their homeland and defend democracy. Now is not the time to be tentative, we need to help #Ukraine and we must not let up in our support. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Last week, 5 Senate colleagues and I joined @SenatorRisch, in introducing a bipartisan resolution condemning Russia’s actions in #Ukraine as genocide. The impacts of these crimes are far-reaching, and the world needs to let Russia know we all see the war crimes being committed. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Putin’s attempt to divide @NATO has failed and over Russian objections, #NATO soon will be expanding. I look forward to confirming Finland and Sweden’s requests to join #NATO and the Senate must approve their applications before the Senate adjourns in August. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I am encouraged that the Biden admin agreed to send #Ukraine 4 more HIMARS to target Russian forces from longer distances. These artillery systems have been critical as they allow the #Ukrainian military to successfully counter Russian attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This weekend, Russia violated an agreement to lift its blockade on #Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, which is preventing millions of tons of grain from being exported and creating a global food crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Tonight, I spoke on the Senate floor for the 19th consecutive session week to discuss Russia’s brutal, barbaric attack on the people of #Ukraine. I discussed how we must hold Russia accountable for continuing to use food as a weapon. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Jane and I send our thoughts and prayers to the Yates family and the entire Clark County Sheriff’s Office during this difficult time. Please see the link below for more information on this unfortunate event. https://t.co/sTKtpx3zgD — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

On Sunday, Ohio lost Clark County Sheriff’s Deputy Matthew Yates in the line of duty. He was an exemplary, 15-year member of law enforcement who cared deeply about his community. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Meanwhile, Russia has reduced the gas flow of Nord Stream I to 20%. Our allies abroad need us, and we must continue to support them by exporting U.S. LNG. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

According to @EIAgov, the United States is now the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas. During the first half of 2022, the U.S. delivered an average of 11.2 billion cubic feet a day to buyers overseas. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Coupled with Russia’s clear messaging that it does not truly recognize Ukrainian nationhood or identity, Russia’s action in Ukraine clearly meets the international definition of genocide. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Russian forces have murdered innocent Ukrainian civilians across the country for the entire duration of this war. They have also forcibly deported millions of Ukrainians, including thousands of children, to Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Last week, @SenateForeign and I introduced a resolution recognizing Russia’s atrocities in Ukraine as genocide shortly after Ukraine's first lady, @olena_zelenska, delivered an impassioned speech to Congress. My statement on the resolution: https://t.co/CwRGXcYCtm — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This is precisely why Congress needs to pass my bipartisan FIGHT Fentanyl Act to permanently schedule illicitly manufactured and deadly fentanyl, TREATS Act to make telehealth available for those suffering from addiction, and CARA 3.0 to expand prevention, treatment, & recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

In #Ohio, there has been a deadly rise in the prevalence and use of counterfeit prescription pills laced with fentanyl. These imitation pills can look exactly like prescription drugs, but even small traces of fentanyl can be deadly. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

According to the latest data from the @CDC 107,622 drug overdose deaths occurred in the U.S. last year, the largest number ever recorded in a calendar year. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Democrats’ reckless spending is threatening to lead the U.S. into a recession. We must return to the common-sense, pre-pandemic policies Republicans put in place that gave America a growing economy thanks to strong job and wage gains without inflation. https://t.co/wNuk6kAsUq — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Americans are paying higher prices for everyday essentials. Prices have climbed steadily since @POTUS took office, climbing from 1.4% in January 2021 to a staggering 9.1% in June. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Paddled in the Lake Cowan canoe/kayak race today. Good to catch up with fellow paddlers and support a good cause: Friends Caring for Cowan Lake State Park. https://t.co/p1ZTftrM9l https://t.co/Byut8GfZiD — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Enjoyed seeing so many friends from the Dayton region last night at the Gala of Hope. Proud to support this effort to help cancer research and cancer patients in the Miami Valley! https://t.co/3g8paJipHp — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Putin’s quest to divide @NATO has only united us further, and the U.S. and our allies must not let up in our support for #Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I am encouraged that both Sweden’s and Finland’s @NATO applications have been ratified by the @SenateForeign Committee. This is a critical step forward the full Senate must approve these applications ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

At a HSGAC hearing this week, I was alarmed to learn that certain watch-listed terrorists are allowed to fly commercially in the US. I pressed the @TSA Administrator nominee on why this is the case & what measures TSA is taking to ensure safe air travel for Americans. — PolitiTweet.org
