Today @FEMA announced a $62 million grant is heading to NE to fund protective measures & respond to COVID-19. I appreciate @realDonaldTrump issuing the emergency declaration that ensured our state could access this funding which will promote the health & safety of Nebraskans. — PolitiTweet.org

The Northeast Nebraska Economic Development District has received a $2.2 million grant provided by the CARES Act to help our businesses which are hurting during this pandemic rebuild and recover. Learn more about these RLF loans in the @NorfolkNews. https://t.co/bEvIeZkNIA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Deb Fischer @SenatorFischer

Thank you @OmahaSteaks for stepping up during this difficult time by teaming up with the @SalvationArmyUS to provide food for families impacted by Hurricane Laura. This is another great example of Nebraskans finding ways to help their fellow Americans. #LoveNE https://t.co/VHroZlxXvz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Deb Fischer @SenatorFischer

While we are still recovering from COVID-19, there are signs that we are bouncing back. Read in this week’s column how Opportunity Zones and CARES Act funding are helping us overcome this pandemic. https://t.co/Pg7ioWK6vI — PolitiTweet.org

Taiwan is an important market for NE agriculture, and this deal represents another critical trade victory that will boost exports of our beef and pork. I'll continue to support agreements like this that expand market access for our world-class products. https://t.co/wrFJtB3NZN — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s be clear, potential changes to US nuclear forces in the absence of a treaty are impossible to predict, and future spending would require Congressional support. Suggesting that a decision not to extend the New START Treaty will cost taxpayers up to $439 billion is inaccurate — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Deb Fischer @SenatorFischer

Kudos to @BreakingDefense for highlighting this. Any decision on New START must be based on the national security interests of the United States, not a fallacious argument about cost-savings. https://t.co/ZuroG58Ovx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Deb Fischer @SenatorFischer

What the CBO report says: Dramatically expanding U.S. nuclear forces would have a significant cost. What the CBO report doesn’t say: Extending the New START Treaty will save the U.S. money. — PolitiTweet.org

For those in Lincoln looking to help or show support, blood donations are currently being requested. https://t.co/iGYRSLo37p — PolitiTweet.org

Officer Mario Herrera, a 23 year veteran of @Lincoln_Police, was shot in the line of duty and is still fighting for his life. My prayers are with him and his family during this time. — PolitiTweet.org

Heartbreaking to learn that a wildfire in Banner County has burned over 4,000 acres. Thank you to the National Guard and NE fire departments for working to get this fire under control. Praying for the safety of the community and these brave first responders. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Deb Fischer @SenatorFischer

Extremely concerned about reports of unsafe and unprofessional behavior by Russian forces in Syria. This kind of activity puts lives at risk, and any injuries sustained by US service members as a result of Russian provocation are a product of their continued dangerous behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Deb Fischer @SenatorFischer

Right now, @NE_TF1 is heading to College Station, TX, to prepare for Hurricane Laura’s landfall. This team of firefighters is trained in urban search and rescue, and I appreciate their readiness to help others. https://t.co/5O3QYfXcug — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Deb Fischer @SenatorFischer

I’m encouraged to see @USCIS call off the planned Aug. 30 furlough. This is good news for over 1,200 USCIS employees in NE. I’ve been engaged on this issue and appreciate the bipartisan, bicameral work spearheaded by @SenCapito to avoid these furloughs. https://t.co/ONLCASvfM1 — PolitiTweet.org

As we approach the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment’s formal adoption into our Constitution, we must remember the pioneers who fought to make it possible. — PolitiTweet.org

As the Executive Director of @NERightToLife, Julie spent decades fighting for the rights of the unborn and the pro-life cause. She was a principled leader who never stopped standing tall for our Nebraska values. — PolitiTweet.org

Bruce and I mourn the loss of our friend Julie Schmit-Albin who passed away today after a long and courageous battle against cancer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Deb Fischer @SenatorFischer

I appreciate their hard work. They are showing the rest of the nation how Nebraskans work together to overcome every crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Deb Fischer @SenatorFischer

I want to thank every community leader who joined me for my East Central NE virtual roundtable this afternoon. As we continue to face new challenges every day, these Nebraskans are providing resources & leadership in our cities & supporting economic development & health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Deb Fischer @SenatorFischer

.@EPAAWheeler should uphold congressional intent behind the #RFS and implement the 10th Circuit Court decision. These pending gap-year waivers should be rejected outright. https://t.co/OoqSXOu9w4 — PolitiTweet.org

Today, on the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the 19th amendment, we honor the suffragists who fought for women’s right to vote. Their legacy continues to inspire generations of women to lead the way, fight for what is right, and keep striving toward a more perfect union. https://t.co/InVhJF3amd — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, Steve Nelson, for your service as president of the @NEFarmBureau. You have been a dedicated advocate for our farmers and ranchers in Nebraska. It has been a pleasure working with you. I wish you and Elma the best in retirement. — PolitiTweet.org

Even after COVID-19 interrupted our booming economy, it's important to remember that there are still good things happening for Nebraska that are worth celebrating. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Deb Fischer @SenatorFischer

The leaders of both nations deserve great credit for this historic achievement, and I appreciate @realDonaldTrump and his administration for their leadership in this momentous agreement. — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, two important American partners, represents a major step toward a more peaceful Middle East. — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 has brought significant mental health challenges. This is why @SenTinaSmith and I introduced the bipartisan #ATTAIN Mental Health Act that would create a dashboard to assist schools and organizations in applying for mental health grants. https://t.co/VrGvuj8fcO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Deb Fischer @SenatorFischer

Thank you, @realDonaldTrump! This grant will help Nebraskans in the Omaha metro area get where they need to go. #NEInfrastructure — PolitiTweet.org
