As Chairman of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, I take my cues directly from the folks who served. It was great to sit down with the Montana VFW ahead of our joint VSO hearing tomorrow so we could talk eye-to-eye about what we need to do to keep our end of the bargain. https://t.co/jpN0JgfQMk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

I'm honored that @wwp took some time today to present me with their Legislator of the Year award—with Army vets from Troy and Missoula, no less. These folks are the real heroes, and I look forward to working with them again this Congress to keep delivering for our veterans. https://t.co/LncVI4Y7Z1 — PolitiTweet.org

Too many Montana families are reeling from the dangerous flow of fentanyl coming into our communities. I’m sick and tired of the lip service about securing our borders, so I’m calling on President Biden to invest in the technology needed to crack down on illicit drug trafficking. https://t.co/44VJ3iSuSP — PolitiTweet.org

We've got the Montana Dental Association, the Montana Professional Fire Fighters, the Montanans for Healthy Rivers, and a Neurologist from St. Peter's in Helena—all before 10 AM! Meeting face-to-face with Montanans is the most important part of my job. https://t.co/MYYaFETo2n — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Montanans need to know when their food is actually a "Product of USA" or the product of a broken food labeling system. This is a step in the right direction, but half-measures aren't enough. I won't stop pushing for Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling. https://t.co/mWb3C4UVGJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

While negotiating the CHIPS Act last year, I secured a provision to make sure rural states like Montana aren't left out of Tech Hub funding opportunities. Now, Montana has the chance to create good-paying local jobs, fix our supply chains, and reduce our reliance on adversaries. https://t.co/gV0Zyzao8g — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

I spoke about Chuck Johnson's immeasurable impact on Montana on the Senate floor when he retired in 2015. My sentiments today are the same as they were then—Chuck leaves a giant hole that's impossible to fill. May he rest in peace. https://t.co/QAEGNA8V9I — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Montanans are no strangers to military service, and I have the great honor as Montana's Senator to help our state's best and brightest carry on the tradition.

Chuck Johnson was a reporter's reporter—always prepared, always speaking truth to power, and always holding people accountable. He was more than a good man, and he leaves behind one heck of a legacy on Montana. https://t.co/epJ74CCMEH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Joe Parsetich is a good man who represents Montana well, and it was an honor to hear his moving testimony this week. Joe has been fighting for veterans for as long as I've known him, and we'll keep working together to connect more veterans with the mental health care they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

It was no doubt a productive week, and I look forward to continue fighting like hell with these veterans and organizations to secure more wins for the brave men and women who served. They deserve nothing less. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

I was also glad to spend time with leaders of the Disabled American Veterans and their National Commander from Montana, Joe Parsetich, as they honored me with their Veterans' Champion Award. DAV has been great partners in our fight to defend veterans' care and benefits. https://t.co/DiEM6GaY16 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

I led a press conference alongside veterans and VSOs to urge my colleagues in Congress to finally pass the Major Richard Star Act—bipartisan legislation that will deliver these combat-injured veterans the full military pension they earned. And I'll keep pushing until it's law. https://t.co/cQwu8D8DR8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

One of the top veterans priorities I heard throughout the week was to fix an injustice that currently impacts more than 50,000 vets who were injured in combat and forced to retire because of it. These folks aren't getting their full retirement benefits, and that's unacceptable. https://t.co/Na8yXdSxEn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Thousands of veterans and VSO members made the trek from Montana and across the country to have their voices heard in our hearings. I was grateful to meet face-to-face with Montanans from The American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, and the Vietnam Veterans of America. https://t.co/QYLfAaQ4D4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

As Chairman of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, I led joint Senate and House hearings this week with several panels of our nation's leading Veterans Service Organizations to hear firsthand the biggest issues facing them and their families. https://t.co/ymTT8wSONy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

The men and women who risked their lives to defend our country deserve to be treated with dignity when they come home, but far too many DC bureaucrats don't understand the unique needs of our veterans—especially those in rural areas. Here's how we fought for veterans this week: — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Montanans deserve to know that the beef they buy at the grocery store is safe to eat, plain and simple. That's why @SenatorRounds and I are leading the fight to ban Brazilian beef imports until they no longer pose a threat to our consumers and ranchers. https://t.co/FS3OguNLgw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

I'm honored to receive the Veterans’ Champion Award from the Disabled American Veterans and fellow Montanan @DAVHQ National Commander Joe Parsetich. I’m proud of our work to defend veterans' health care and benefits, and look forward to securing more wins for America's bravest. https://t.co/wHLELqeLeN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Our public lands are a core part of our Montana way of life, and I'll always fight to protect them for our kids and grandkids. Part of that fight is passing my Montana Headwaters Legacy Act to protect our rivers, and I met with @americanrivers about how we'll get it done. https://t.co/mRlZhTBqVH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

There's no more basic need than clean water, and I'm hell-bent on making sure every community in our state can reliably access it. Today, Chairman Frank White Clay and I discussed the Crow Tribe Water Settlement and how we'll keep working together to build out our water systems. https://t.co/kGzfGx08Lm — PolitiTweet.org

My thoughts are with the three injured miners and their families, and I am monitoring the situation. https://t.co/ZMlmfXHqwL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Met with leaders from @VVAmerica today and had the honor of visiting with Chuck Renevier, a Vietnam veteran from Montana. I have great respect for these brave veterans, and I'll hold anyone accountable to ensure they get the care, benefits, and dignity they deserve. https://t.co/xNkHackaec — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see so many Montanans representing our local credit unions in Washington today. Local credit unions are the heart of Main Street Montana, and I'll continue leveraging my role on the Senate Banking Committee to make sure the policies we pass work for rural America. https://t.co/yTBNuhi7NF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

On the 151st birthday of @YellowstoneNPS, I'm celebrating the countless Montanans who fought hard with me to permanently protect its gateway. God doesn’t make places like this everywhere, and together we made sure it would be preserved for the generations that come after us. https://t.co/UNRQiS71ky — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

I led joint hearings of the Senate and House Veterans' Affairs Committees this week with our nation's leading Veterans Services Organizations. We couldn't have gotten the PACT Act done without them—and their support will be critical for getting the Major Richard Star Act done. https://t.co/vDV8bsTid3 — PolitiTweet.org
