Anarchy continues to ensue in Portland—a direct result of local officials blocking law enforcement from protecting the public. Law & order must be restored—& if city or state leaders fail to do their job & protect their citizens, the federal gov’t should not fund the anarchy. — PolitiTweet.org

After Democrats tucked a little-known provision into their $1.9 trillion “COVID relief” bill that would ban states, like #Iowa, from cutting state taxes, I'm backing legislation to reverse the provision. https://t.co/Qi9l0IDC98 — PolitiTweet.org

Women have made strides in the boardroom, on the playing field, in the military, and through elected office. But there’s still plenty of work to do.   My column ⬇️ https://t.co/ftv64ATFCM — PolitiTweet.org

The folks at @AmericanLegion of Iowa are dedicated to supporting the brave men & women across our state who've selflessly served our nation. On a call, we discussed ways to address the challenges our heroes face—including my bipartisan bill that would help combat veteran suicide. — PolitiTweet.org

A nuclear-armed Iran would pose a grave threat to U.S. national security interests & our allies and partners. I joined my colleagues in urging @POTUS to focus on preventing Iran from ever acquiring nuclear weapons and constraining its destabilizing activity. https://t.co/aMT8GGs8gb — PolitiTweet.org

Women across this country have overcome significant obstacles—particularly this year.   At the federal level, I’m going to keep working across the aisle to ensure my fellow female leaders continue to have opportunities to succeed. #WomensHistoryMonth https://t.co/ftv64AC4ec — PolitiTweet.org

This is unacceptable & too often a pattern in the workplace. We need to focus on preventing this bad behavior from happening. Let’s start by passing my CREEPS Act, which ensures that fed employees convicted of sexual assault face consequences for their actions—like termination. — PolitiTweet.org

I joined an effort to help ensure unaccompanied minors aren’t being used as a "human passport" to illegally get across our border. MORE ➡️ https://t.co/PgppXwuky2 — PolitiTweet.org

The #PPP has been a critical lifeline for Iowa’s small businesses throughout this pandemic—which is why I voted in support of a bipartisan extension of the program. This week, I also pressed @SBAgov officials on the implementation of federal COVID-19 relief programs. WATCH: https://t.co/EGWndPTZXQ — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Special Operations Forces play a critical role in countering threats to U.S. national security. At today’s @SASCGOP hearing, I questioned @USSOCOM Commander, Gen. Clarke, on how SOF is leading our counterterrorism efforts + protecting the health of the force. https://t.co/Z822o4xq8c — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

NEW ➡️ I teamed up with @RepAshleyHinson on legislation to increase access to federal funding for child care development.   The ACCESS Act will encourage more public-private partnerships to invest and grow child care options for Iowa’s working families. https://t.co/ijCzBBrpOB — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Always great to catch up with the folks at @iowa_corn as I continue advocating for our ag community. 🌽 Today, we discussed my ongoing efforts to defend the #RFS, expand market access for #Iowa-grown corn & biofuel, & support our farmers & producers who've been hit hard by COVID. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Loopholes in our immigration system are encouraging unaccompanied children and families to make the perilous journey—at the hands of ruthless smugglers—to enter the U.S. through our now-open southern border. I helped introduce a bill to address this: https://t.co/CB9LXkX0Gt — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Iowa's rural health care providers have offered critical services to Iowans—especially during COVID. I helped introduce the bipartisan Rural Health Clinic Protection Act to protect rural health clinics from a reduction in reimbursement funds so they can continue to serve Iowans. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Sarah’s Law is about as commonsense an effort as there is—& recognizes the simple fact that all criminals should be held accountable for their actions. TODAY Dems blocked Sarah's Law & once again sided w/violent illegal criminals over justice for the Root family & many others. https://t.co/UBRIm38rlz — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

It was great to join some of our soldiers on the National Mall this morning to take part in the @USArmy Combat Fitness Test—which is fundamental for preparing our servicemembers for the battlefield & ensuring military readiness. Thx to all of our troops for your selfless service! https://t.co/loHWRSZeXn — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

🔜 I will put my commonsense bill, Sarah’s Law, before the Senate and ask for the bill’s immediate passage. WATCH ➡️ https://t.co/yoosX64CMe — PolitiTweet.org

.@IowaPork recently launched their Thank You Tour & donated pork loins to @NEIFB in Waterloo + @IADeptAg Sec. Naig recognized @FOODBANKIOWA & its partners for their leadership during COVID. Glad a member of my staff could join & thx IA pork producers & food banks for all you do! https://t.co/P8E8s0H0wu — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

NEW ➡️ I'm backing legislation to close loopholes that encourage vulnerable immigration populations to take dangerous, illegal paths of entry into the U.S.—and to help stop the dangerous surge at the border. https://t.co/CB9LXkX0Gt — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

The critical work of @IowaNatGuard & @USNationalGuard cannot be overstated. It was great to meet with Major Gen. Corell and Brig. Gen. Mike Amundson of the Iowa National Guard to discuss their continued service at home & abroad. Thank you for being #AlwaysReady, #AlwaysThere. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/ZFDLvSeYjx — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

The attempts to both abolish the filibuster and overturn @RepMMM’s state-certified election in Iowa are blatant power-grabs by Washington Democrats—and Iowans won’t stand for it. https://t.co/wJg8RgkjXb — PolitiTweet.org

(2/2) My prayers are with the victims' loved ones and their fellow employees as they grieve this loss. I will continue to follow the situation closely and work with our partners at the state level as details emerge. — PolitiTweet.org

(1/2) Today’s senseless attack at the Anamosa State Penitentiary that took the lives of two Iowa public servants is heartbreaking. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

As a combat veteran, I helped introduce a bipartisan bill that would direct @DeptVetAffairs to designate one week per year as #BuddyCheckWeek to organize outreach events & educate vets on how to conduct peer wellness checks. https://t.co/mnD7mFsujA — PolitiTweet.org

This #WomensHistoryMonth, my @SenateGOP female colleagues and I have some advice for young women across the country. WATCH: https://t.co/1P8Uvc6dIy — PolitiTweet.org

NEW ➡️ I'm helping lead a bipartisan, bicameral effort that would increase the amount of tax-free dollars working families and their employers can set aside to use toward child and dependent care expenses. https://t.co/asKKN3v5FO — PolitiTweet.org

As we celebrate #NationalAgDay, join me in thanking our farmers and producers across #Iowa and America for all they do to feed and fuel our world. https://t.co/03bnK4n9f0 — PolitiTweet.org

#ICYMI: 2️⃣ of my transparency & government accountability bills recently advanced in the Senate. One will help prevent duplicative & wasteful federal programs—while the other will allow more information about gov't spending to be accessible to the public. https://t.co/FVulE9UnP0 — PolitiTweet.org
