The @FTA_DOT awarded a $50.8 million grant to @kcstreetcar today to extend their service line between @UnionStationKC & @UMKC. I was pleased to join my colleagues in advocating for this grant & look forward to seeing the new opportunities and economic growth it brings to KC. — PolitiTweet.org

Indian Country has suffered particularly high rates of #COVID19 & needs greater flexibility in spending the relief funds provided to them in the #CARESAct. I led 11 of my Senate Colleagues in urging Leaders McConnell & McCarthy to include tribal gov't priorities in Phase IV. https://t.co/hfTtoDoQHL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

Today, I called on the Postmaster General to prioritize veterans as @USPS evaluates potential postal reforms. VA mail-order pharmacies provide approximately 120M outpatient prescriptions to veterans annually. The timely delivery of lifesaving medication to veterans is essential. https://t.co/hiOh8loYjI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

This is the largest federal undertaking in Kansas in the past 5 years, & I was pleased to help secure the $350M needed to make it a reality. Glad @USFederalPrison Director Carvajal could join me this week to meet with #Leavenworth area leaders. https://t.co/adncwZfN97 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

Pleased to announce that @KState is receiving over $380K from the @FMCSA to further enhance safety programs for their commercial vehicles. Vehicle safety is essential, especially in busy college communities, & this grant will bolster their education & training on best practices. — PolitiTweet.org

Mike’s the type of person that you’d want to be your neighbor, your best friend and your mayor. https://t.co/EdeO5sw5WO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

I know I speak for many others when I say we came to appreciate, respect & love Mike for the helpful, supportive, & caring friend & leader that he was. I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing and Robba & I will be praying for his wife Maria, their children & Olathe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

As Mayor of Olathe for nearly 2 decades, Mike's first concern was never for himself but always for his community – how he could make Olathe a better place for every family living there and every individual passing through. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

Kansas women have helped pave the way for women around the country, & in honor of the 100th anniversary of women securing the right to vote, @KMBC is airing a special show Tuesday night at 7 p.m. on Susanna Madora Salter – the first woman mayor in the U.S. https://t.co/ypqpMg3jn2 — PolitiTweet.org

As leaders, we must take a big picture approach to the crisis playing out & discuss comprehensive reforms that will stabilize the institution - many of which require Congressional action. Read more about my letter in the @KCStar ⤵️ https://t.co/lkowproeLi — PolitiTweet.org

Serving a rural state like Kansas, I understand well the crippling impact that losing the Postal Service would have on rural communities across the country. The Postal Service is navigating uncharted waters but it cannot fail its responsibilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran

As we continue to battle #COVID19 & prepare for a presidential election, I called on newly appointed Postmaster General DeJoy yesterday to work w/ Congress to reform the @USPS. Now is the time to work together to put the USPS on firmer financial footing & protect its integrity. https://t.co/WG2em2Tk0L — PolitiTweet.org

Visited @LockheedMartin's Denver Space facility where I toured deep space exploration aircraft @NASAOrion & saw their advanced weather satellite testing.

Today’s announcement that Israel & the UAE will begin normalizing relations is momentous for the region, publicly demonstrating Israel’s increased acceptance among Arab states. More should follow the UAE’s lead. I commend @realDonaldTrump for brokering this historic agreement. — PolitiTweet.org

.@KState was awarded a $1.1 million @NSF grant to purchase a high-power 100 kHz laser for recording ultrafast molecular reactions. This further highlights the world class abilities at K-State & in KS, & will be used to conduct valuable research to benefit the nation. — PolitiTweet.org
