Military
readiness
and
vigorous
diplomacy
are
both
key
in
North
Korea
I
joined
CNN’s
“New
Day”
to
discuss
the
ongoing
situation
in
North
Korea
and
key
elements
to
mitigating
that
threat.
We
need
both
a
credible
threat
of
military
force
and
vigorous
diplomacy
in
North
Korea.
The
credible
threat
of
military
force
will
strengthen
our
deterrence
and
empower
diplomacy.
That’s
why
I
support
efforts
to
increase
military
readiness
in
the
region,
and
why
I
am
so
proud
of
Sec.
Tillerson
and
Amb.
Haley
who
led
successful
efforts
at
the
UN
Security
Council
to
impose
robust
sanctions
against
North
Korea.
Hoosier

with
overdue
bronze
star
It
was
an
honor
to
present
a
long-overdue
Bronze
Star
to
Kurt
Koch.
Presenting
such
an
award
to
such
a
deserving
person
is
one
of
the
greatest
privileges
I
have
as
a
U.S.
Senator.
Thanks
to
his
wife,
Joyce,
for
all
of
her
work
to
make
this
happen
and
pull
off
the
surprise.

A
ride-along
with
our
brave
police
officers
I
took
a
ride-along
with
IMPD
North
District's
Officer
Labanauskas.
I
was
very
impressed
with
how
well
the
department
is
connecting
with
the
community
and
how
local
churches
and
organizations
like
Alliance
for
Northeast
Unification
are
serving
their
neighbors.
Thanks
for
all
you
all
do
to
keep
our
community
safe,
and
thanks
for
taking
the
time
to
show
me
around.

Working
together
to
combat
opioid
abuse
Last
week
I
visited
with
Danielle
and
Kayln,
who
are
recovering
from
addiction
thanks
for
the
folks
at
Union
County
Health
Department.
Currently,
the
community
is
pooling
resources
to
address
the
opioid
crisis
and
help
the
many
people
in
need,
just
like
these
young
ladies.
This
is
indeed
a
national
emergency
and
I
support
the
President’s
forthcoming
declaration
to
address
this
crisis.
Once
more
thing
before
you
go!
