If Obamacare were truly affordable, we wouldn’t be talking about subsidies. 15 years later, the so-called “Affordable Care Act” is anything but. Now, Dems are desperately distracting you from their failed policies.🧵⬇️

I remain very willing to use every lever of power I have as a U.S. Senator to ensure Western North Carolina is made whole and that federal funds are approved and disbursed on a rolling basis.

Thank you to @Verizon for leading an important discussion on disaster readiness here in North Carolina. Investing in resilient infrastructure, connectivity, and critical services means greater safety and faster recovery for our community.

This is exactly why Congress should pass the COUNTER Act as part of this year’s National Defense Authorization Act. It gives the DoD clear legal authority to enhance airspace security at U.S. military installations and keep Americans safe.
Secretary Driscoll is right. The threat posed by drones is fundamentally different from any we’ve previously seen and requires a new approach to counter it. Congress needs to give law enforcement and @DeptofWar the tools they need to keep Americans safe.

It was great visiting @thearmoredgroup in Cleveland County to see how their work is strengthening our state’s economy. From expanding manufacturing capacity to job creation, TAG’s investment in American infrastructure is building a stronger future for North Carolinians.

Foreign Robocall Elimination Act sponsored by @SenTedBuddNC and @SenPeterWelch: This legislation would establish a taskforce focused on how to best block foreign-originated illegal robocalls before they ever reach American consumers. [3/5]

North Carolina’s ag leaders are critical to ensuring the future of our state’s #1 industry. Their guidance & leadership help inform all of us in Washington about the real-world impact of policy decisions. I’m always grateful to meet and listen to our NC farmers.

It's great to have growing support for my bill with @SenPeterWelch, the Foreign Robocall Elimination Act. This bill will help protect Americans from the dangers of foreign-originated illegal robocalls.

The fentanyl epidemic has affected nearly every American. It is widespread & devastating. Thanks to @POTUS for his successful negotiations with China to crack down on the substances used to produce fentanyl, saving thousands of American lives.
🚨 @FBIDirectorKash with a MAJOR update on combatting the fentanyl crisis: “The People's Republic of China has fully designated and listed all 13 precursors used to make fentanyl... Effective immediately, essentially, @POTUS has shut off the pipeline that creates fentanyl…

MACV-SOG operators rank among the most elite special operations forces in U.S. military history. I am grateful to my colleague @RepMarkAlford for joining me in leading this effort to honor our service members' unparalleled sacrifice.
🇺🇸 We're proud to introduce legislation to award the Congressional Gold Medal to the heroes of the Military Assistance Command Vietnam–Studies and Observations Group, including posthumously to Don Wolken of Lebanon, MO, who led one of these elite units. https://t.co/h5AW0IUb8H

As we finally take this long-awaited step toward re-opening the government, I urge my colleagues in the House of Representatives to put the best interests of the American people first and quickly get this bill on the President’s desk so we can finally end the Schumer Shutdown.

Last night I voted for the 15th time to end the Schumer Shutdown. We’ll continue to work hard this week to get this to the President’s desk and ensure that we put the American people over political games.

It’s Democrats who are keeping the government closed. We are ready to negotiate when the government is back open and providing the necessary services for American taxpayers.
