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"
05/26/2021 Tweet - "Today, one Senate committee unanimously backed a bipartisan infrastructure bill. Another deadlocked over a descendant of the Green New Deal. This is choice before the Administration. Strong, lasting bipartisan cooperation on practical solutions -- or go-it-alone partisanship."

04/27/2021 Nomination of Janet Garvin McCabe
04/22/2021 Climate Legislation
04/22/2021 Tweet - "This Administration's zeal for costly climate policy at home is not matched by our biggest competitors. China's share of emissions is nearly double ours. The Paris Agreement is largely toothless. Democrats can kill U.S. jobs & industries with no real impact on global emissions."
02/22/2021 Tweet - "Families across Kentucky are still recovering from a week of punishing weather. I am grateful to everyone who pitched in and helped their neighbors stay safe. My team and I are focused and ready to help in the 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."

07/01/2020 Tweet - "The Speaker has chosen to spend the House's time this week on a cousin of the Green New Deal masquerading as a highway bill. It will go nowhere in the Senate. Here, we'll keep at the serious work of the nation."

05/06/2020 Senate Committee Approves McConnell Provisions to Strengthen Kentucky's Water Infrastructure
04/01/2020 Tweet - "House Democrats are still trying to use this crisis to push unrelated pet priorities. Last week: Carbon regulations. Now? A tax giveaway for wealthy people in blue states, panned by economists across the spectrum. This is a crisis. Let's act like it."

03/23/2020 Tweet - "These are just some of the unrelated demands Senate Democrats have used to slow relief for workers and families: Tax credits for solar and wind energy Special treatment for Big Labor Airlines' emissions standards This is a crisis. Why is only one side acting like it?"
03/09/2020 Tweet - "The Green New Deal is 100% the wrong way to think about American energy dominance. Fortunately, the legislation before the Senate now gets it right: The bipartisan American Energy Innovation Act."
