SENATE (ALL)
; Pleased to join @MarshaBlackburn in filing an amicus brief in support of the respondents in the dual #SCOTUS cases challenging President Biden's student loan forgiveness program. @POTUS is not a king, and he has no power to dispense with the lawful acts of the legislature. More:
Three years ago, Doctor Li Wenliang died after exposing Communist China’s deliberate coverup of COVID-19.
Never forget COVID came from China and Doctor Wenliang’s bravery in sounding the alarm.

Other U.S. cities and states should follow their lead—and Congress should pass my bill banning Chinese Communists from buying American soil.

Hey @elonmusk - Why is Twitter putting @SteveDaines in Twitter jail? For his wife being a good shot? I guess since I’ve updated my profile picture, I better turn myself in. #FreeSteveDaines #NewProfilePic
The day of reckoning for social media companies is coming. The average American consumer is helpless against Big Tech.
❌They make money off your personal information without meaningful consent.
❌The algorithms, without oversight, can drive people towards destructive behavior.
Katherine Swidan has fought an unceasing battle for her son.
I am calling on the Biden Administration needs to use every tool at our disposal to secure Mark's release.
China wants to be treated as a great power. They're acting like Third World despots. They must #FreeMarkSwidan.
We are urging @ENERGY to exercise oversight of a federally-chartered trade association’s reported anti-electrification campaign.

Enjoyed visiting the Palmer Career and Technical Education Center at Alvirne High School. The Center is home to an on-campus dairy farm, where I met Pumpkin the cow.
Tobacco is a dangerous substance that’s fueling the youth vaping crisis. Protecting Granite Staters from harmful tobacco – including flavored tobacco products that hook teens & adolescents – will continue to be a top priority for me.

A year ago, I had the opportunity to ride on the only heavy Ice Breaker on the Great Lakes. One year later, thanks to my Great Lakes Winter Commerce Act, funding has been authorized for a new Great Lakes Ice Breaker to keep our Made in Wisconsin economy moving forward!
Meanwhile, this Wisconsin Senator spent her Sunday on an Ice Breaker in Lake Michigan!
Thank you to the brave @WVNationalGuard members who are assisting efforts surrounding Friday’s train derailment in Ohio. I’m always inspired by West Virginian’s quick response to neighbors in time of need!

So now hunting with your family is a reason to be suspended from Twitter? Big Tech doesn’t understand the heartland.

My legislation in last year’s defense bill allows all our services to buy the weapons and equipment they need years in advance instead of operating year-to-year.
I commend the Army for making this change and encourage other services to follow suit. https://www.defensenews.com/opinion/commentary/2023/02/03/the-armys-multiyear-contracts-are-a-model-for-other-services/
The first two years of the Biden-Harris Administration were the *best two years* ever for small business applications in the United States with over 10.5 million on record.
As President Biden continues trying to gaslight the American people, #Bidenflation is still hurting families at the pump, in the grocery store, and on every day necessities. It’s time to take responsibility, @POTUS. https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/biden-claims-inflation-already-there-when-i-got-here-takes-no-blame
I am delighted to have Lolita Lopez from @Westsidehealth join me as my guest at this year’s State of the Union address. Lolita has been a trusted advocate for affordable health care services in Delaware for over three decades.
I’m honored to welcome Michigander and Air Force veteran Kevin Hensley as my guest at the State of the Union.
He was exposed to toxic burn pits while serving in the Middle East and tirelessly advocated for the PACT Act that we enacted into law.
Our defense budget is $850 billion a year.
We are the greatest fighting force on the face of the earth.
We can detect a spy balloon — but Biden waited nearly a week to shoot it down.

The central geopolitical,national security & economic issue of our time is the relationship between the U.S. & China
Everything that matters is tied to it
And if we get it wrong none of the trivial things we waste time on is going to matter
