Enjoyed kicking off @Smarter_Regs first event with @ambermarieduke and the @DailyCaller about the need to bring effective enforcement against the illicit nicotine market

[Richard Burr @SenatorBurr]

Join me April 22 in Washington for a Daily Caller Live event with @Smarter_Regs for a law enforcement focused discussion on the illicit nicotine crisis and how to combat it - reserve your seat today: https://t.co/eyefSFYwWa

[Richard Burr @SenatorBurr]

I commend my former colleagues in the Senate for bringing attention to the national security threat posed by the illicit nicotine product crisis. FDA should continue their enforcement efforts and act with urgency to deliver product decisions on applications awaiting review.

As North Carolina's longest serving governor, Jim Hunt's commitment to strengthening our world-class university system paid real dividends for our home state. In addition to the countless number of graduates from the University of North Carolina System, including our eleven HBCUs, Governor Hurt's leadership helped turn those universities into economic drivers, the effects of which we still see today. Brooke and I are sending prayers to the entire Hunt family and gratitude for a life of public service.

The Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina is now officially the 575th federally recognized tribe in the United States.

Thank you @POTUS Trump for helping fulfill a long overdue promise!

Kudos to @SecKennedy @AGPamBondi for taking long overdue action cracking down on illegal vape products; now we need @US_FDA to authorize more legal, quality products to meet the demands of adult consumers seeking access to less harmful, smoke-free options: https://t.co/YTLXoVYEYE

I want to wish a blessed Ramadan to all who will be observing a month of fasting and prayer.

[Richard Burr @SenatorBurr]

With the 2020 presidential election approaching, it’s more important than ever that we remain vigilant against the threat of interference from hostile foreign actors.

[Richard Burr @SenatorBurr]

Today, the Senate Intel Committee released the fourth and penultimate volume in our bipartisan Russia investigation, which examines the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment that identified Russian election interference: https://t.co/qFa0yKEfZU

[Richard Burr @SenatorBurr]

One of the ICA’s most important conclusions was that Russia’s aggressive interference efforts should be considered ‘the new normal.’

That warning has been borne out, as Russia and its imitators increasingly use information warfare to sow societal chaos and discord.

If you did not file a 2018 or 2019 tax return but do have dependents, register with the IRS by *Wednesday, 4/22 @ 12PM ET* to make sure you automatically receive an additional $500 per eligible child when you receive your $1,200 Economic Impact Payment. https://t.co/A8cpki1gyH

#NationalParksWeek is a chance for us to celebrate the beauty of our country and the benefits of smart conservation. While some of our national parks are sadly closed today, they’ll all be waiting for us when the time is right to go out and enjoy the great outdoors. 1/2
