What a great story about my friend, @EdwinsCLE founder Brandon Chrostowski, who is headed to Poland to help feed refugees from #Ukraine. Proud to have helped connect him with Chef Andres & @WCKitchen, who are doing amazing work there helping those in need! https://t.co/gbQnBJOF04 — PolitiTweet.org

The US welcomes legal immigrants & always should. They enrich our country but it's vital that they come legally. The Biden admin must fix this broken system, reform the asylum process, & stop these policies that send a green light to the human smugglers and drug traffickers. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’m frustrated with the reports that @DHSgov plans to bring more buses, planes, & personnel to the border to process unlawful migrants into the country more quickly when Title 42 ends. This policy change will only increase the worst migration crisis in our nation’s history. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

As I’ve said many times before, in order to address the worst migrant crisis our nation has ever seen, the Biden admin must reform the asylum process that acts as a pull factor to bring unlawful migrants to our southern border. https://t.co/dc41h8dQXV — PolitiTweet.org

& more lethal aid including fighter jets, anti-tank, anti-ship and anti-air weaponry as we work to help Ukraine win this war. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I continue to call on the Biden admin and encourage our NATO/EU allies to do more,quickly, by way of stronger sanctions – especially those targeting Russia’s banking and their energy sector, which continues to fund Putin’s war machine — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Today, @SenatorDurbin and I hosted members of the Ukrainian Parliament to brief members of the Senate #Ukraine Caucus on the latest regarding Russia’s assault on Ukraine and what more the U.S. can do to support the Ukrainian people. https://t.co/0Adzfoqwj3 — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Russia’s invasion highlights the importance of the US having an all-of-the-above energy approach to power our nation, including fossil fuels, renewables, carbon capture, nuclear power & hydrogen. The admin must reverse course – their actions must support our commitments to Europe — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I am disappointed with the president's tax proposals in his FY 2023 budget request, which eliminate tax provisions used to encourage more American energy production. This shortsightedness will discourage domestic energy production & undermine our efforts to help our EU allies. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Europe must also cut off its dependency on Russian energy & the U.S. must help backfill their energy needs –something @POTUS announced we will do. To do that we must increase our production here at home & develop the infrastructure to get our energy to market. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Over the past year, the average oil revenues for Russia from their exports to the U.S. alone were about $50 million a day. Under pressure from Congress, the Biden admin finally agreed to stop buying Russian oil. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Earlier this week I spoke on the Senate Floor about the importance of cutting off Russia's energy revenue, which is its number one source of income fueling the war machine. Energy is Russia's biggest export & accounts for roughly half of Russia's federal budget. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Grateful to accept Legislator of the Year Award from @NAHROnational. With rising inflation, ensuring access and improving the supply of affordable housing is more important than ever; NAHRO helps create affordable housing for low- and middle-income families. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

RT @NAHROnational: Congratulations to @senrobportman recipient of NAHRO’s Legislator of the Year award! Thank you for your leadership and c… — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’m proud that this bill received the unanimous support from the U.S. Senate earlier this month and that lynching will finally be considered a federal hate crime. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Nearly 70 years after Emmett Till was brutally murdered at the young age of 14 in the Mississippi Delta, I’m pleased that President Biden today signed the historic Emmett Till Antilynching Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Today, I intro'd legislation with @SenatorBennet to require @thejusticedept to direct funds resulting from the disposal of seized Russian assets, through their Task Force KleptoCapture, into a new Ukraine Relief Fund to support Ukrainian refugees & the reconstruction of Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I have been calling for weeks now that we should be seizing, not just freezing, Russian assets and using those funds to support humanitarian efforts for the Ukrainian people. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Congrats to @COSI for having earned the title “Best Science Museum” in the nation for the third year in a row! #Ohio https://t.co/pOOOeD8ziF — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

If approved by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, this will be the 25th U.S. cultural site to be inscribed on the World Heritage List, and the first in Ohio! — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Great news, the National Park Service nominated the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks site to be placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List among the world’s most important natural wonders and cultural sites. https://t.co/sh3JSzKVx9 — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The use of chemical weapons by Russia against innocent civilians is where we and our #NATO allies have to draw a red line and we must back it up this time unlike what we did in Syria. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Regarding the President’s speech this weekend, clarity is incredibly important. Actions must match rhetoric. We must do more for #Ukraine & rapidly provide more anti-air, anti-tank and anti-ship systems. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

It is time to expand North American energy production & resources so that we can strengthen our security at home & provide the Europeans the natural gas they need to cut off revenue to Russia’s war machine. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Biden admin should work quickly to implement the recently enacted bipartisan Cyber Incident Reporting Act I co-led. This law will help prevent future cyberattacks by facilitating increased info sharing & enhance the federal govt’s cyber defense & investigative capabilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

It also shows how organizations can take proactive steps to secure their networks against the most damaging impacts of ransomware attacks.https://t.co/ThtzwbICoM — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Recent ransomware attacks we've seen are a painful reminder that these incidents have real-world consequences. This week, I released a report showing all organizations, no matter the size or financial resources, can fall victim to sophisticated cyber adversaries, like Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Glad to see almost $3 billion in federal grants announced thanks to my bipartisan infrastructure law to improve our bridges, roads, ports, and more. This is good news for Ohio, where we have lots of core infrastructure needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Time for all of our NATO colleagues to join the United States and others in transitioning away from the purchase of Russian oil and gas. We must cut off all funding of Russia’s war machine. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Access to our U.S. market is a privilege, not a right, and we should not give Russians the normal access. The House passed a law to suspend what's called Most Favored Nation status or PNTR for Russia, it’s time for the Senate to do the same. — PolitiTweet.org
