As a global military power, the US has many of these systems in our inventory. We must provide #Ukraine with more of them and other needed weapon systems so they win this brutal and unprovoked war by Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

For a couple of months, I have advocated that the Biden admin send #Ukraine the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems or HIMARS they badly need to be able to target invading Russian forces from longer distances. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Our legislation establishes clear guidelines for our system of certifying & counting electoral votes for President & Vice President. I hope my colleagues in both parties support these simple, commonsense reforms. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Earlier this week, I joined @SenatorCollins, @Sen_JoeManchin & 13 of my colleagues in introducing bipartisan legislation to fix the flaws of the archaic and ambiguous Electoral Count Act of 1887. https://t.co/FvaP1gIlRP — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

We cannot continue to stand by as #China steals our US taxpayer-funded research & IP to fuel its military & economic rise. That’s why my bipartisan Safeguarding American Innovation Act must be included in the final CHIPS Package to protect the $250B investment in research & IP. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I urge the Biden Admin to work with Republicans to get back to pro-growth, common-sense economic policies that were working before the pandemic so that #Ohio families can get some relief from inflation that is making it harder and harder to get ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The other reason was constricted supply from COVID, and deliberate policy decisions like discouraging domestic fossil fuel production. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Democrats’ stimulus spending spree last year was the main fuel behind the inflation surge. They were warned that the record $1.9 trillion spending bill would overheat the economy but did it anyway. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

If inflation continues to rise at the same rate as it has this past year, this time next year Americans would experience a devastating 16.8% increase. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This United States is experiencing the worst inflation in over 40 years, which is hitting lower and middle income families the hardest. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This is a shameful crime against the people of #Ukraine and millions of people around the world who depend on Ukrainian ag products. Russia must be held to account. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Unsurprisingly, Russia has already broken the agreement it signed less than 24 hours ago. Clearly, the Russians were never negotiating in good faith in the first place. https://t.co/qCdWqTyDvD — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

However, Russia has a shameful history of breaking its int’l agreements, even humanitarian ones like these. The US must remain alert for any potential violations of this agreement by Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I am pleased that a deal has been struck to allow Ukraine to export its grain again. This is good news for countries around the world that rely on Ukrainian ag and should help save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Happy 226th birthday to one of America's greatest cities, Cleveland, #Ohio! https://t.co/vrAAkJp9Qy — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I was alarmed to hear today at a HSGAC hearing 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 Americans' safety. https://t.co/92V44QLe6M — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This is promising news. Last week I sent a letter with 5 of my Senate colleagues urging @SecDef to consider sending advanced fighter jets to Ukraine to counter Russia’s airpower. I hope that more progress is made here soon. https://t.co/MtD1yZwjD2 — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

That's why I've introduced an amendment to add my Safeguarding American Innovation Act back into this package and urge my colleagues to join me in supporting it. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

It is even more concerning that my fellow senators voted to begin debate on this legislation under the impression that my legislation to safeguard American innovation was included. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

It is concerning that a competitiveness bill on the floor now invests millions in US taxpayer $ in research and does not include any strong provisions to safeguard that research from being stolen by foreign adversaries like China. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Last night I took to the @SenateFloor to correct the record on how my Safeguarding American Innovation Act was stripped from the CHIPs package currently under consideration. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Today’s witnesses and I agreed this will be a critical tool to help bring down housing costs across the country and make homeownership a possibility for every American. https://t.co/jWMPLTRqBx — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Today at a @SenFinance hearing, I discussed the importance of passing the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act, which establishes a new tax credit to finance home building and rehabilitation in low-income neighborhoods. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Small businesses are the backbone of our country and I was excited to meet with small business owners from #Ohio today at the @GS10KSmallBiz Summit to discuss what challenges they’re facing, and how Congress can ensure they have the tools to succeed. https://t.co/aMTwvWF1yz — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I was proud to join @SenatorCollins, @Sen_JoeManchin & 13 other Senators in introducing bipartisan reforms to the Electoral Count Act of 1887 to ensure that the electoral votes tallied by Congress accurately reflect each state’s vote for president. https://t.co/FvaP1gITHn — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I was proud to vote to ratify these applications and I hope that Senate leadership will put this legislation on the floor as soon as possible so that we can show the world we are enthusiastically supporting these two countries joining the NATO alliance. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Both countries have strong, highly capable militaries with a long history of investing in defense and high interoperability with NATO. They will add much to the collective security of NATO and the security of the United States. — PolitiTweet.org
