Date Title
08/07/2021 Tweet - "In a few days, Democrats want to put far-left radicalism on the Senate floor. The American people will know where every Senator stands on a slew of bad ideas: (special character) New welfare without work requirements (special character) Green New Deal mandates (special character) Massive tax hikes (special character) Amnesty amid a border crisis"
07/21/2021 Tweet - "Middle-class families are already facing runaway costs. The last thing they need is another massive, reckless taxing and spending spree. It's simple. We need to stop paying people more to stay at home than to work and encourage everyone to get vaccinated."
07/06/2021 Tweet - "In spite of experts' warnings, Democrats' latest massive spending bill created conditions that have kept too many Americans out of the job market. The government should not be paying more for workers to stay home than to go to work."
06/15/2021 Tweet - "The Biden Administration's spending has raised prices and made it almost impossible to get people back to work. Small businesses in Kentucky, and across America, can't compete with policies that encourage Americans to stay on the sidelines."

05/17/2021 Tweet - "The policies that we passed in March 2020 are not the policies we need in May 2021. We are a reopening country flooded with vaccines. Record job openings. Democrats should not be taxing the Americans who are back at work to continue paying extra benefits to those staying home."
05/10/2021 Tweet - "Vaccines are available nationwide. We have millions of unfilled job openings. It is not fair to keep taxing working Americans to continue paying an extra federal bonus to folks who continue to stay home. And it's holding back our nation's recovery."

09/08/2020 Tweet - "But Republicans are not done fighting for the American people. Today our majority is introducing a targeted proposal for kids, jobs, and healthcare to help with many of our most urgent challenges. No more obstruction behind closed doors. Every Senator will be going on the record."
08/13/2020 Tweet - "No family in middle America is saying: "Thank goodness the Democrats are blocking cash payments to me, money for my kids' schools, and money for vaccines until Manhattan millionaires get a tax cut!" What American families everywhere want is an outcome."
08/08/2020 McConnell on President Trump's Announcement: "Struggling Americans Need Help Now"
08/05/2020 Tweet - "Our country is facing bigger problems than whether Malibu gets to upgrade its street-sweepers. Struggling families need help now. Democratic leaders must stop blocking aid to Americans over their unrelated left-wing wish list."
07/28/2020 Tweet - "Our Democratic colleagues want to pretend it is controversial that taxpayers should not pay people more not to work than the people who do go back to work. The American people don't call that a controversy. They call that common sense. They call that basic fairness."

02/28/2019 Tweet - "Democrats' "Medicare for all" bill would end Medicare as we know it and force everyone into a single government-run system. The plans that more than 170 million Americans currently rely on would be made illegal. No choice, no options, and no alternatives allowed."
