Deeply disturbed by the fierce partisanship of BOTH parties today. Many of my fellow senators failed their constituents today by stooping to petty party politics. I will do everything I can to restore regular order, but I need Democrats and Republicans to come together! Sim-fake
SIMULATION - NOT REAL Very excited to make more progress on the SAVIOR Act during tonight's committee proceedings. National Education Campaigns, Three-Day Prescription limits, and additional provisions will go a long way in combating the opioid crisis that impacts so many.
Separately, @rascalMcCaskill expresses dismay at the high level of partisanship she saw today and hopes that the committee can move on and make real progress
(Sim-not real)Thanks again to Jed and Jez Thompson for testifying before the Finance Committee on their harrowing battle with opioid addiction. We are working hard to support you two and all Americans struggling with this disease. #passtheSAVIORact
(Sim not real) Thankful for both Sen. Murphy's AND President Trump's endorsement of the SAVIOR Act. More proof that not all of us let partisan politics impede good policy!
The opioid epidemic claims the lives of tens of thousands of Americans each year. Victims come from every economic, ethnic, and geographic background. To save our neighbors, friends, and families,@CMCCANTWELL and I are introducing the SAVIOR Act to end this tragic health crisis.
@NotOrrinHatch Could not agree more! Excited to work with you on the SAVIOR Act and other critical pieces of legislation in the upcoming session #bipartisanship (SIM NOT REAL)
Extremely honored to have @rascalMcCaskill as a cosponsor for the Military SAVE Act. Both pieces of legislation are critical for maintaining the integrity of our Armed Forces! #bipartisanship https://t.co/egoIg1T9pe
Want my constituents to remember that I go to Washington NOT as a Democrat, but rather as a MISSOURIAN. I will fight for everyone from our great state REGARDLESS of who they voted for in 2016!
.@ClaireCMC’s landmark legislation finally gives prosecutors the tools they need to go after websites that facilitate sex trafficking. #MOSen https://t.co/7scKmB3f9g
(SIMULATION) Remembering all of our brave MoH recipients on National Medal of Honor Day today. Here is the story of one courageous son of Missouri, Staff Sergeant Herbert Burr, who was awarded the MoH for his heroism as a Tanker in WWII: https://t.co/OlwTvVztUm
SIMULATION-NOT REAL Disappointing to see so many of my fellow senators take to twitter with divisive partisanship and purposefully inflammatory remarks. I refuse to stoop to their level because the American people deserve better. Stop fighting each other online and GET TO WORK.
Very encouraged by my meeting today with @FakeCornyn and @NotOrrinHatch regarding the opioid crisis! This issue won't go away unless we can show the courage to work across the aisle and develop a bipartisan solution. #opioidcrisis#bipartisanship
