Date Title
09/14/2022 Tweet - "Senate Democrats just blocked our bill that would have given railway workers a big raise and prevented a crippling strike and supply chain crisis. If a strike occurs and paralyzes food, fertilizer, and energy shipments nationwide, it will be because Democrats blocked this bill."
09/14/2022 Tweet - "Republicans are heading to the floor with a bill to prevent a railway strike that would create total chaos. It would give workers the package that most of the unions have already approved. President Biden should have already resolved this himself. Democrats must let this pass."

03/31/2021 Tweet - "The Administration's non-infrastructure "infrastructure bill" looks like another Trojan horse for far-left demands. Rolling back Right to Work laws. Imposing the biggest new tax hikes in a generation -- killing jobs and slowing wage growth when workers need a fast recovery."

01/21/2021 Tweet - "The failed Paris deal will hurt American families while China and Russia grow emissions. The Keystone cancellation will kill union jobs and hurt U.S. energy security. And a proposal to gut immigration enforcement and give blanket amnesty? Rough "day one" for American workers."

04/11/2018 Tweet - "Today's confirmation of Mr. Ring will give the country a fully-staffed @NLRB once again, and turn the page on the previous administration's efforts to remake this bipartisan board into a one-sided political weapon."
