My @SenateGOP colleagues & I urge @POTUS to confront the PRC’s flooding of the U.S. with illicit vapes. This is a public health crisis, a national security threat, & a trade-fairness failure. Honest American retailers are being undercut by a black market supplied almost entirely by a single country that profits while our families pay the price. bit.ly/4yUh0vm

If we deport the Islamists operating the vape shops, sales will diminish.

480,000+ Americans die every year from smoking, and 16 million more are sick from smoking-related disease. And Jr Sen Budd? "Chinese vapes!" But when Big Tobacco puts big money in his campaign coffers, Budd has plenty of incentive to look the other way. Purchased silence.

If only you cared as much about the SAVE America Act as you do about the monopoly on cheap, illicit vapes!!

The SAVE Act is more pressing Senator.

Senator Budd never misses a beat to stick up for his tobacco donor, Altria.

End the stupid ban, then. It's not China's fault that the market demands a product our government doesn't want us to have & won't allow us to produce ourselves in America. This is America's government's fault & they can fix it by allowing our industry to meet demand ourselves.

China literally invented vapes. Then the american market exploded with innovation and the market boomed. Then you dicks killed the american market with regulations. Thats the entire story in a nutshell. Your body made american shit stupid expensive.

How about urging Trump to allow the same access to the event to US media as he does to Chinese media - and starting impeachment proceedings if he continues to violate the 1st Amendment.

EU foreign minister @kajakallas tells me the Trump administration’s invitation to Putin for the G20 is “very hard to hear”‘particularly after the U.S. charged Russian operatives for plotting murder on U.S. soil. “And I can tell you they get orders from President Putin.”

Important topic this is not. "Vapes are a national security threat". Seriously? Remember in November. #NoIncumbentRepublicans

Pass SAA, Ted. SAA has more significant national security implications.

You need to worry about the midterms and high prices and the daylight savings time bill or the midterms will not favor Republicans.

You encourage the POTUS to do something you or your colleagues don’t have the courage to do. You’re all cowards! Support our President.
