Sen. Rand Paul
Feb. 7, 2018
Tweet - "As I've said publicly many times, our upcoming immigration debate on #DACA, border security, & other issues will be a process that is fair to all sides. While I obviously cannot guarantee any outcomes, let alone supermajority support, I can ensure the process is fair to all sides"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 6, 2018
Tweet - "Senators on both sides of the aisle say they agree that our warfighters deserve sufficient, stable funding to fulfill the missions and tasks their country assigns them. Today, each of us will have the chance to back up that sentiment with our vote."

Sen. Rand Paul
Jan. 20, 2018
Tweet - " .@realDonaldTrump, the House, a bipartisan majority of the #Senate, and the American people cannot begin to understand why the Democratic Leader thinks the entire government should be shut down until he gets his way on illegal immigration. #SchumerShutdown"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 19, 2018
Tweet - "The facts before us are simple. Right now, the Democratic leader has no compromise immigration bill on the table. No bill exists. Why do Americans need to suffer from a government shutdown when he doesn't even have an immigration bill?"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 18, 2018
Tweet - "These #Senate Democrats represent tens of thousands of children who depend on #CHIP. Why they would threaten to turn their backs on children -- and shut down the government, while they're at it -- over the unrelated issue of illegal immigration?"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 18, 2018

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 18, 2018

House Passes World Bank Accountability Act
Rep. Andy Barr, ...

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 16, 2018
Tweet - "Section 702, one of the most important tools that our warfighters and intelligence professionals use to wage the war on terror and keep Americans safe, allows the United States to collect communications from foreign terrorists who wish harm on America and our allies."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 16, 2018

But it has very real, tangible consequences for our national security."Since fiscal year 2013, discretionary defense spending has been cut by $85 billion more than discretionary non-defense spending.
