The federal government is currently shut down, but my team and I are still working and available to Hoosiers. If you have questions or need assistance, our contact information is below. https://t.co/UI9jKMy11V

Americans are begging Democrats to end the shutdown. Here’s a list of organizations calling for @SenateDems to vote with us to open government:

Good move by @USArmy that will help with the overall effort to establish American drone dominance. In various ways, Hoosiers are poised to play a key role in this increasingly critical technology. https://t.co/9WZG0EOM7k

The American people deserve a more transparent strategy – not ad hoc military maneuvers conducted without a clearly-defined objective. The Administration must keep the people’s representatives better informed if and before this situation escalates in any way.

Additionally, consultation and a decision by Congress enables an open, democratic assessment of how a president envisions connecting the means of military action to a clear, strategic outcome that is in the national interest, not to grandstand or create 535 commanders-in-chief,

The strategic objective of militarizing a “War on Drugs” is unclear at best and, while not currently desired or contemplated, these operations could conceivably lead to direct military conflict with Venezuela or even operations inside the United States. While no one has declared

However, my vote today is not an endorsement of the Administration’s current course in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. As a matter of policy, I am troubled by many aspects and assumptions of this operation and believe it is at odds with the majority of Americans who want the

Based on the information I have received, I have a greater appreciation for the legal rationale behind our service members executing these strikes, and I do not believe this resolution is necessary or appropriate at this time.

SHIPS Act Shows Support In Committee As Lawmakers Look At Improving Commercial Shipbuilding - Defense Daily

Thanks to the @RiponSociety for spotlighting the SHIPS Act. Making American ships again will reduce our reliance on China, enhance naval readiness, and create good-paying American jobs. Read more: https://t.co/x1RJ7OdWXI

Fun to spend a few moments with @taylor_hoops before their games this weekend. Go Trojans!

In our @newsweek op-ed, @IAmBiotech's John Crowley and I outline why unleashing American innovation is essential to beating China in the biotech race. U.S. leadership in this critical technology will safeguard our national security and protect Americans. https://t.co/keA69VhxHj

Enjoyed meeting with Hoosier EMTs who were honored by @amerambassoc for their life-saving work and service to their neighbors.

Good meeting with @TrineUniversity President Dr. Earl Brooks this morning.

Experts Urge Congress to Enact SHIPS Act as Foundation for Reviving U.S. Commercial Shipbuilding

This week is National Veterans Small Business Week. On Monday, I stopped by Brew Link Brewing, a veteran-run business in Indy. Let’s support our veterans and their businesses in our communities.

Americans should never have to worry about safety during air travel. But Senate Democrats have voted 14 times against paying air traffic controllers and TSA Agents—forcing them to do their important jobs without pay.

Excited to welcome @fanuclear to Indiana. This investment will unlock thousands of Hoosier jobs and allow our state to lead in unleashing American energy independence. https://t.co/UHvfYeYhjP

I agree with President Trump’s decision to label Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” for religious persecution of Christians. I look forward to receiving more information about the humanitarian concerns and potential terror threats posed by jihadists in Nigeria.

Just voted to fund the federal government for the 14th time. It’s time for Democrats to vote with us and end the shutdown.
