Today I joined a group of lawmakers at a meeting with President Biden to discuss the spending package proposed by the White House. Infrastructure has always been a priority for me, and for years, infrastructure bills have received overwhelming bipartisan support in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

.@USDOT has announced Essential Air Service contracts for Chadron and Alliance airports. I've long advocated for this program to ensure flight service is available for Nebraskans. Essential Air Service is so important to keeping rural America connected. — PolitiTweet.org

In Grand Island today, I enjoyed touring the Central Nebraska Regional Airport and their fire fighting facility. The firehouse was built by a local construction company/contractors. This is a great investment in the community, and it’s the type of infrastructure we need more of! https://t.co/sLh7LMkYJe — PolitiTweet.org

Joined my colleagues in voicing concerns to @SecBlinken about the admin’s plan to send aid to territories controlled by Palestinian Authority & Hamas. This assistance should be stopped until @StateDept can verify it won’t get into the hands of terrorists. https://t.co/43RnepVtH6 — PolitiTweet.org

It was an absolute blast flying to Hawaii in @UNKearney’s aviation simulator. Their equipment helps train students who are looking for careers as commercial pilots and in the aviation industry. https://t.co/FHU9HaPp7r — PolitiTweet.org

A top priority of mine is to make sure Nebraska continues to improve broadband across our state, particularly in rural communities. Dr. Angela Hollman is working here at @UNKearney to analyze and map connection speeds to help continue growing rural connectivity. https://t.co/RODsiog9bY — PolitiTweet.org

.@UNKearney has an entire distribution center to provide hands-on instruction for students who are pursuing industrial development. The younger generation is preparing to keep our nation’s supply chain moving! https://t.co/DyxjGfFkgJ — PolitiTweet.org

This afternoon, I toured @UNKearney where I saw how the school is using new technology to prepare its students for their careers. It’s encouraging to see the great work going into getting students ready to join the workforce. https://t.co/f748VJPJNw — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s first stop was at the family-owned Mac’s Creek Winery and Brewery in Lexington. The McFarlands have dedicated 20 years to creating Nebraska wine and now beer.

It was a pleasure to meet with local business owners from Keith County to discuss the ways community members helped each other during this pandemic & the results of the PPP program. This community is the perfect example of Nebraskans helping Nebraskans when times get tough. https://t.co/z3uRXZtua4 — PolitiTweet.org

I appreciate Big Red Nebraska Popcorn giving me a hands-on lesson showing me how their quality and uniquely-flavored popcorn is made! They are a great asset to the community and provide Scottsbluff students with delicious snacks during their movie nights. https://t.co/mzxEr4c4dI — PolitiTweet.org

So thankful to see thriving local businesses coming to Scottsbluff. The Flyover Brewing Company is the first brewery in the Panhandle, brewing Made in Nebraska beer and a fun environment for the community. Thank you for the tour today. #OnTheRoadinNE https://t.co/Vp43bpopSx — PolitiTweet.org

Had the opportunity to tour the Washington County Food Pantry in Blair today. With COVID causing an increase in food insecurity, I am grateful for all those who are helping to keep pantries stocked and Nebraskans fed. https://t.co/dwP3CgdI3T — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, Erika, for showing me around the Chocolate Season in Lincoln to see firsthand how you make quality NE chocolate.

Too many veterans are suffering from PTSD. I’m proud to be leading a bipartisan effort to pair veterans with service dogs. These companions have been shown to lower veterans’ PTSD symptoms & reduce their risk of suicide. — PolitiTweet.org

Diet fads come and go, but meat continues to stay on Americans’ dinner plates. In the recent study by @FMI_ORG and @MeatInstitute, the sale of meat soared by 20% last year. During a difficult year, I'm proud of our ag producers for stepping up to meet the consumer demands. — PolitiTweet.org
