Americans’ hard-earned money was funneled into Red China’s state-run WIV—and I passed a measure to ensure that never happens again. But @POTUS’ Acting OMB Director was noncommittal on whether the Biden Admin will fund the Wuhan lab using your tax dollars. https://t.co/sOZ7kmSf7p — PolitiTweet.org

More than 180K migrants were encountered at the Southern Border in May alone.   @POTUS & @VP must prioritize this humanitarian and national security crisis—one they created. https://t.co/qqU6yIj4U6 — PolitiTweet.org

Hardworking #Iowa taxpayers deserve to know how much of their hard-earned money was shipped to Communist China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology. I’m working to shine light on where our tax dollars are going. WATCH ⬇️ https://t.co/RvFzqtWbr3 — PolitiTweet.org

Consumer prices were up 5️⃣% in May compared to one year ago—the largest increase we’ve seen since the Great Recession. President Biden’s failed economic policies are hurting Iowans & Americans. https://t.co/xCH7e7PeoJ — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

The deeply flawed Iran Nuclear Deal failed to address the threat of Iran’s nuclear missile program & their acts of terror across the globe.   The Biden Administration must change course. Do not re-enter JCPOA. https://t.co/EcKaEcyFRc — PolitiTweet.org

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, access to telehealth was critical to helping Iowans in rural areas get the care they need. I joined @Sen_JoeManchin on a bipartisan effort to continue & expand access to telehealth for Iowans in rural areas. https://t.co/RzW1HGEaPR — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden’s budget can be summed up like this: ❌ Higher taxes ❌ Higher spending ❌ Higher debt https://t.co/YxMko2iPgJ — PolitiTweet.org

As a combat veteran, I know firsthand the importance of body armor that fits. In the Senate, I’ve been proud to work across the aisle to properly equip our female warfighters.   Glad to see that @USArmy is fielding proper-fitting gear for their female soldiers! — PolitiTweet.org

For too long, our servicemembers have faced the threat and traumas of sexual assault in their own ranks. We must act now to prevent these attacks & hold perpetrators accountable. https://t.co/CkHZbUJJj5 — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden Administration’s plan to rollback the Navigable Water Protection rule is a gut punch to Iowans. MORE ⬇️ https://t.co/DpKI5yfFSa — PolitiTweet.org

Exciting to see the return of @NPPC’s World Pork Expo that’s bringing together our great pork producers & so many innovative minds in the industry! As a member of @SenateAgGOP, I’m proud to keep advocating for these folks who are helping feed the world. #WPX21 🐖 — PolitiTweet.org

🚨 SOON: I will speak on the Senate Floor about President Biden’s $6️⃣ trillion budget proposal & the burden it would create for taxpayers in #Iowa and across the country. Watch LIVE ➡️ https://t.co/yoosX64CMe — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

There is a crisis at our Southern Border. President Biden & his administration created it—and they need to focus on fixing it. https://t.co/5kI4CKknPq — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

The Biden Administration should not reward Palestinian leadership—or Iran-backed Hamas—for their abhorrent support of violence and terrorism. I joined my colleagues in urging @POTUS to uphold U.S. law & refrain from reopening Palestinian diplomatic missions. https://t.co/lggLjgtSI6 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Assisting Iowans with casework issues is one of my top priorities, & my office is continuing to help folks across our state as part of our Traveling Office Hours. For folks residing in Cedar, Guthrie, & Johnson Counties, a member of my staff will be in your area today. Stop by: https://t.co/19vpqesTjI — PolitiTweet.org

Communist China owes America & the world answers on the origins of COVID-19 that put us into an unprecedented global lockdown.   The CCP needs to fully cooperate with the U.S. so we can determine exactly where this virus came from. https://t.co/4toHqGin9m — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

The Biden Admin is spending hardworking Iowa taxpayer $ recklessly while proposing to raise taxes to pay for liberal wish lists. Instead, we need to work together to tackle true infrastructure needs & help get folks back to work. https://t.co/7knLUb7FJz — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

(7/7) Iowans and all Americans deserve to know how government agencies are using their tax dollars and if the research and projects they’re conducting are truly aimed at increasing our competitive advantage with near-peer adversaries like Red China. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

(6/7) Right now, this bill before the Senate does not include a simple provision that would put a price tag on every project or any research done by @NSF. My amendment, to provide this transparency, deserves consideration and should be in any final package. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

(5/7) Transparency is the first step to keeping agencies on mission—and accountable to taxpayers. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

(4/7) While I successfully cut off any future funding to the Wuhan Institute, a gov't agency that has spent millions to study how fast shrimp run on a treadmill or how fast a panda can poop is about to get billions of your taxpayer $, & it’s being masked as the way to beat China. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

(3/7) We still don’t know the exact amount of taxpayer dollars that were sunk into the Wuhan lab. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

(2/7) Take the Wuhan Institute of Virology for example: U.S. taxpayer money funded research in that China-run lab, and the federal agency that allowed the money came from actually broke the law by failing to disclose it to taxpayers. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

(1/7) Sending billions of dollars to federal agencies without guardrails is not the answer to beating Communist China in research and development. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

At today’s @SASCGOP hearing, I questioned top experts about the U.S. strategic competition against Communist China, including: ☑️ Countermeasures our military & diplomatic operations can conduct to deter China ☑️ Ways to protect America’s critical domestic supply WATCH ⬇️ https://t.co/UJ7fCCgss4 — PolitiTweet.org

In the United States, more than 2️⃣ in 3️⃣ babies diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted.   This absolutely cannot continue.   I joined my colleagues in urging Senate leadership to bring the Protecting Individuals with Down Syndrome Act to the Senate floor for a vote. https://t.co/ILtiaBmDVj — PolitiTweet.org

The number of illegal migrants surging across our Southern Border is the most we’ve seen since 2006. It’s long past time the Biden Administration take action. Secure our border. https://t.co/sgOYp6yxLZ — PolitiTweet.org

To help ensure the survival of #Iowa family farmers & businesses, I helped introduce bipartisan, bicameral legislation to cut the punitive estate tax in half. https://t.co/ZHXnQ0JDmL — PolitiTweet.org
