Honored to have spoken today at the rally for Ukraine outside the White House. Inspiring to see all those who came out in support of the Ukrainian people. The United States must do all it can do help Ukraine defend against Russia’s illegal invasion. https://t.co/doykXaDD4M — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The United States must do more to help the Ukrainian people as they fight back against the Russian invaders. One way to do this is to help our European allies get them more MiG fighters and TB2 drones. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

As the U.S. rightly continues to support Ukraine in their fight against Russia’s brutal and illegal attacks, we must ensure that our country can quickly coordinate its response to Russian cyberattacks and hold them accountable — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’m proud the Senate moved quickly this week to pass the bipartisan Strengthening American Cybersecurity Act I introduced to give the National Cyber Director, CISA & others broad visibility into the cyberattacks taking place across our nation. https://t.co/7xkYT1iYl7 — PolitiTweet.org

3) It does NOT allow the Postal Service to enter into new commercial services like postal banking. 4) It does NOT impact the solvency of the Medicare Part A Trust Fund. This is a common-sense bill to save @USPS and avoid a bailout. Let’s get it passed. https://t.co/94Kqnbxagi — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

It is important to clarify what does legislation does not do: 1) It does NOT appropriate any new funds to the @USPS. 2) It does NOT change the accounting or costing structure for packages and letters, so it does not disadvantage private sector carriers. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

My bipartisan Postal Service Reform Act strengthens transparency & accountability for @USPS performance, eliminates unnecessary financial burdens to keep the USPS from becoming insolvent & helps ensure they can better serve the American people. https://t.co/mqY8r72Wwt — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Russia shouldn't have preferential access to the U.S. market. Free trade with the United States is a privilege, not a right. I’ve introduced legislation to fix this. https://t.co/mBUaeFJ8oN — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I joined a bipartisan group of House & Senate colleagues this week to introduce legislation to do just that. https://t.co/z9o68Ysdie — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

We should do all we can to cripple the Vladimir Putin economy that feeds the Russian war machine. That includes cutting off all Russian gas and oil imports into the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Proud to lead a letter with @SenatorShaheen to the President urging him to find a way to help our European allies support #ukraine with fighter jets. https://t.co/bCwME1dlla — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Their indiscriminate shelling is killing thousands of civilians. There must be consequences, and they must be held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Russian military is targeting apartment buildings, hospitals and daycare centers. Last week, they even damaged the Holocaust Memorial in Kyiv and fired on Europe’s largest nuclear power plant. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I had a sobering telephone conversation this morning with President Zelenskyy along with some of my colleagues. Ukraine is in crisis and they need support urgently from all the freedom loving countries in the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The United States must do more to help the Ukrainian people defend themselves against the Russian invaders. One important way to help is to compensate our European allies for providing them more MiG fighters and TB2 drones the Ukrainians know how to fly. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This means that the inflation we are seeing, fueled by the Dems’ reckless $1.9 trillion spending bill last year, isn’t just hurting Americans today, but well into the future as it drives up the federal deficit and expands the debt burden on future generations. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Congressional Budget Office reiterated the threats of inflation. Not only is it driving up living expenses, but it’s also driving up the federal deficit. CBO finds that federal deficits are likely to be $2.3 trillion more over the next 10 years with higher interest rates. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Russia forces attacked Europe’s largest nuclear power plant in Ukraine. This is a war crime and Putin must be held responsible. Russia must also allow for humanitarian corridors to be established immediately to allow for aid to flow Ukrainian civilians who desperately need it. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

We must do all we can to bankrupt President Putin’s economy and his war machine in order to defeat Russia’s assault on Ukraine. The United States should immediately stop buying Russian oil and increase domestic energy production here at home. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

For 13 years these retirees have been fighting to restore their hard-earned benefits, which were cut when General Motors filed for bankruptcy in 2009. It is time to correct this unfair action. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Earlier today I joined a virtual press event to announce the intro of my bill w/ @SenSherrodBrown to reinstate retirement benefits to over 20,000 Delphi Salaried Retirees, including over 5,000 Ohioans. https://t.co/gZWgJgu1Ar — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Ukrainian Nationals currently in the United States should not be forced to return to Ukraine while the nation is at war with Russia. Granting them Temporary Protected Status is the right thing to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Earlier this week I led a letter w/ @SenatorDurbin urging the Biden admin to provide Temporary Protected Status to Ukrainian Nationals now in the United States, and I’m pleased the admin has now responded by taking this action. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Pleased to see #Canada revoke free trade preference for #Russia and #Belarus today. My bipartisan “No Trading with Invaders Act” would do the same. Congress needs to act NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

We owe our servicemembers a great debt of gratitude for the safety and freedom we enjoy every day. It is our duty to stand by them and ensure transparency in the tracking of illnesses connected to their service, specifically burn pit exposure. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Proud to see Danielle Robinson, the wife of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson, at the #SOTU Tuesday night as @POTUS’ guest. Sen. Brown and I have introduced legislation to honor his memory & help veterans who have been harmed by exposure to toxic burn pits. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

In 2020, as Chair of #PSI, I led a bipartisan report that detailed how Russian oligarchs sanctioned in response to Russia’s 2014 invasion of Crimea continued to purchase millions in high-value art at NY auction houses & dealers evading US sanctions. https://t.co/zkVKnjIQnT — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

.@TheJusticeDept must include high value art when targeting & seizing Russian assets in the US. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Last fall, @SenWhitehouse & I introduced CARA 3.0 - sweeping, bipartisan legislation to combat addiction by addressing three important areas: research and education, treatment and recovery, and criminal justice reform. Let’s work together to get it passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Tuesday night at the #SOTU, @POTUS said he wanted to work with both parties to combat the drug and addiction epidemic. I fully agree and am ready to get to work. The good news is that we already have a bipartisan legislative solution: CARA 3.0. — PolitiTweet.org
