Rob Portman @senrobportman

Today, the bipartisan retirement security legislation I authored with @SenatorCardin passed unanimously out of the Senate Finance Committee. I am looking forward to working with my colleagues to get this critical measure signed into law this year. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This law will improve coordination and info sharing to help protect our IT infrastructure at all levels of government. https://t.co/jIeJB0SiLc — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’m pleased my bipartisan State & Local Government Cybersecurity Act to strengthen an existing relationship between @DHSgov and state & local partners has been signed into law. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Now is not time to be tentative. At this critical time, the U.S. should work with allies to provide support for #Ukraine and give them what they need to protect and defend democracy. https://t.co/M4TISYMHDO — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

In addition, I urged the Biden admin to go further in their efforts to sanction Russia. As President Putin continues to commit horrific war crimes, the U.S. could and should be doing more to sanction Russian trade, banking, and energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I also urged my Senate colleagues to support a swift consideration of a #NATO expansion to add #Sweden and #Finland. I am looking forward to confirming their request to join the NATO alliance when that vote comes to the #Senate floor. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The U.S. is the world’s premier military power and we delayed sending these vital supplies for weeks. We must speed these needed weapons to the frontlines, and approve more than four systems to give #Ukrainians a fighting chance. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

They offered their view of the current state of the war in #Ukraine and discussed their urgent needs on the battlefield. However, I am disappointed that the Biden admin has not fulfilled these requests. They only provided four HIMAR systems, which is not nearly enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Last night, I spoke on the Senate floor for the 16th consecutive session week to discuss the brutal, senseless attack on #Ukraine. Last week, the Senate #Ukraine Caucus, which I co-chair, hosted members of the #Ukrainian Parliament. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’m proud that this bill also includes bipartisan legislation I’ve worked on with @SenSherrodBrown to increase transparency by requiring the @DeptVetAffairs to regularly report to Congress on vets who have been exposed to burn pits. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The bill is named in honor of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson, a central Ohio veteran who was deployed to Kosovo and Iraq with the Ohio National Guard and passed away in 2020 as a result of his exposure to burn pits while deployed. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I am pleased the Senate passed bipartisan leg this week to deliver benefits to vets who were exposed to toxic burn pits. We owe our vets a debt of gratitude for the safety and freedom we enjoy every day. It is our duty to stand by them. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This administration must take action to end their border crisis to ensure the safety and security of all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

In addition, the lack of responsible border policies by this administration is helping to fuel the drug crisis in this country & allowing Mexican transnational criminal organizations to push deadly substances like fentanyl into the US. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The May @CBP operational stats show that the crisis at our southern border grows. May saw an influx that broke April’s record for the highest number of border encounters. https://t.co/eom2GNS5df — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Grateful to @WSJopinion for covering the critical issue that the U.S. hasn’t provided enough rocket launch systems with enough range for #Ukraine to defend itself against Russian attacks. As the editorial notes, doing so is the only way to get Putin to the negotiating table. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Congratulations to #Ohio’s very own @CincyChildrens on being named the Midwest’s #1 pediatric hospital! Cincinnati Children’s Hospital is a pillar in our community and we are thankful for the work they are doing to serve #Ohioans. https://t.co/iz6M58UFrS — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads out there, especially those across #Ohio! https://t.co/8dABx0WWoK — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Today, we commemorate #Juneteenth, the anniversary of the announcement of the official emancipation of all African Americans. I am proud to have co-sponsored the Senate-passed bill making today a national holiday. https://t.co/oASiuVpgiP — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

While Russia has not been able to claim victory like they thought they would, they are making incremental advances every day. It is more important than ever to do everything in our power to help our ally #Ukraine defeat Putin’s war machine. https://t.co/vt0GO7eAII — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

On Thursday, I hosted the leaders of the Ukrainian Parliament to brief members of the Senate #Ukraine Caucus on the latest events regarding the Russian invasion of #Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

After speaking with @natgavrilita last month, it is clear to me that we have a strong partner in Moldova. I am pleased that their EU membership bid is moving forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Progressing Ukraine’s EU membership bid is a strong sign of support from Europe as Ukraine endures Russia’s brutal war. This is exactly what Ukrainians are fighting and dying on the battlefield for – freedom, democracy, and prosperity. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This is very welcome news. I just visited both countries and their commitment to freedom and democracy make them great candidates for EU membership. https://t.co/HdxEpYZfgD — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I urge my colleagues in the House to consider this legislation right away so that we can get it to the president’s desk for signature. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This legislation will help ensure that his memory lives on and that the brutal North Korean regime responsible for his unjust death is held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This week, I offered my Otto Warmbier North Korea Censorship and Surveillance Act, and it passed the Senate by unanimous consent on the week of the five-year anniversary of Otto Warmbier’s death. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

We are concerned that documents recently obtained contradict @SecMayorkas testimony on the nature & scope of the Disinformation Governance Board. We've called on Chairman Peters to hold this hearing in order to provide the oversight and transparency the American public deserves. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Earlier this week, I led my Republican colleagues on HSGAC in sending a letter to @SenGaryPeters to request a hearing w/ @SecMayorkas to explain misleading testimony he gave the Committee on May 4 on DHS’s Disinformation Governance Board. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I urge the Biden admin to work with Republicans to find bipartisan, pro-growth solutions that unleashed record economic growth before the pandemic. https://t.co/JxfLUsmJBN — PolitiTweet.org
