For any bottomless boondoggle funded by the federal government, #Iowa taxpayers deserve to know how and where their money is being spent—or wasted.   My bipartisan and commonsense Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act would help ensure just that. https://t.co/6wWEDcGPHh — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden Administration must own the border crisis as an emerging national security threat to the United States.   More from my op-ed: https://t.co/8oBnwVzyPI — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing a special Happy Birthday to my alma mater, @IowaStateU! 🎉 For over 160 years and counting, Iowa State has shaped so many incredible leaders who continue to make a positive difference across the globe—and I'm so proud to be a #Cyclone. — PolitiTweet.org

Because of the suffragettes and so many other determined women who stepped up and broke the barriers society placed on us, female trailblazers across the country are writing new pages in history books every single day. #WomensHistoryMonth https://t.co/zyAo3ANd9z — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

It’s vitally important that hardworking taxpayers have access to information, like how their money is being spent or resources are being wasted, so they have the power to hold decision makers accountable. #MakeEmSqueal https://t.co/5FlWacYo96 — PolitiTweet.org

Continuing my efforts to help recognize the environmental benefits of biofuel, I'm calling on @USDA to update its #GHG modeling for biodiesel: https://t.co/s7HzU0F4iQ — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Iowans can be sure I’m going to continue to shine a light on the decisions being made in Washington that affect all Iowans.   After all, sunshine is the best disinfectant, because to stop waste, we first need to be able to spot it. 🔦 https://t.co/5FlWacYo96 — PolitiTweet.org

While classrooms stay closed, only 5️⃣% of the $128 billion of new money for schools in the Democrats’ latest “COVID” bill will be spent this year.   My bill would shed light on whether or not taxpayer dollars are being used to actively reopen our schools: https://t.co/30O7G6PkbJ — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Every day, decisions are made in Washington that impact families & communities in #Iowa & across the country.   But too often, these decisions are made in the dark—which is why I’m working to ensure Iowans have access to information about their government: https://t.co/5FlWacYo96 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Pres. Biden suspended border wall construction & ordered a freeze of funds provided by Congress for that purpose. In the weeks that followed, operational control of our southern border was compromised & a humanitarian & national security crisis has ensued. https://t.co/WUc90J61JA — PolitiTweet.org

In #Iowa, 99% of our biz are #smallbiz—& many of these local employers struggle to get their fair shot in the federal contracting process. My bipartisan PRICE Act—which would help give our mom & pop shops the opportunity to compete & succeed—passed out of committee this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Day 5️⃣ of #SunshineWeek 🔦 In Washington, there’s no shortage of waste & duplicative gov't programs—always at the expense of #Iowa & American taxpayers. I’m pleased Ds & Rs agreed to move 2️⃣ of my bills forward that will help cut the fat & shine light on taxpayer💲 being spent. https://t.co/MAOc0hplV0 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Increasing transparency increases accountability—and we all benefit when information is brought to light, especially when it involves how our tax dollars are being spent. My #SunshineWeek 🔦 column: https://t.co/5FlWacYo96 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

As the Republican lead on the @SASCGOP Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee, I view President Biden’s border crisis not just as a humanitarian one—but a growing threat to our national security. https://t.co/8oBnwVzyPI — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

I was glad to catch up with the #Iowa members of @GrowthEnergy and hear about their work to promote ethanol—a cleaner, cheaper choice at the pump. In the Senate, I'll keep fighting to defend the #RFS and livelihoods of our renewable fuel producers. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

March Madness is finally back and my fellow senators and I are ready to cheer on our favorite teams…even if they didn’t make the tournament. I’m always pulling for my Cyclones! https://t.co/YBHUD2fMmy — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Great to speak with so many Iowans today to hear about their incredible work & discuss: 🔨 @StanleyBlkDeckr: Standing up for our hardworking manufacturers 🩺 @alsassociation: Supporting families & patients who are battling ALS 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 #Iowa @ymca CEOs: Improving access to child care — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Where to even begin… How can we track all of the hypocrisy coming from Biden’s jet-setting “Climate Czar” who's traveling halfway around the world using fossil fuels? Well, my gov accountability bill is a good start! https://t.co/6IQncwYfUY — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

On #NationalBiodieselDay, and as an unwavering advocate for Iowa’s renewable fuel industry, I’m pressing @USDA to update its greenhouse gas modeling for biodiesel before the end of the year. https://t.co/0AESYnFVXv — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

🚨 Support for my School Reopening and Spending Transparency Act is growing! Proud to have @ChuckGrassley, @SenRickScott, @SenThomTillis, @SenCapito, @marcorubio, @SenKevinCramer, @marshablackburn, @SenatorBraun, @SenMikeLee, @SenatorHagerty, @SenLummis, & @SenSasse on board. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Young Iowans—like Alli Steele & many others—have been diagnosed with Ectodermal Dysplasia. Their stories & struggles are the reason I’m supporting a bipartisan bill to ensure that all health plans cover medically-necessary services related to a patient’s congenital abnormality. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Community health centers across #Iowa play a vital role in providing care to folks throughout the state—especially during COVID, and in our rural areas. On a call with Iowa Community Health Centers, I discussed my work to support our CHCs & expand access to telehealth services. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

WATCH ➡️ As a member of @SmallBizCmte and champion of the #PaycheckProtectionProgram, I highlighted issues Iowans continue to face & pressed witnesses on improvements that need to be made within the program: https://t.co/lIxpI4XC0I — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Boondoggles beware! My bipartisan Billion Dollar Boondoggle bill that just passed out of committee will shine a light on taxpayer-funded projects w/ballooning budgets & delayed deadlines—like this gravy train in Hawaii w/its totally off the rails fare increases & schedule delays: — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Day 4️⃣ of #SunshineWeek 🔦 Families have a right to know whether or not their hard-earned tax💲are being used to actively reopen our schools. My new bill would require @usedgov to publish a "report card" w/info on the use of COVID relief dollars & a school's operating status.✏️ https://t.co/sbkjwr3tSE — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

From supporting Iowa’s ag community during COVID—to upholding the #RFS—my fight for our hardworking farmers & producers is never over. I spoke w/leaders of @ASA_Soybeans & @IowaSoybeans about my ongoing efforts—including my work to increase market access for #Iowa-grown biofuel. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

A transparent government is one of the most fundamental principles that makes our government—of the people, by the people, for the people—work. #SunshineWeek 🔦 https://t.co/hqpYuZJdEb — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Amid the rapidly escalating crisis along the southern border, I joined my colleagues in highlighting President Joe Biden’s suspension of border wall funding and construction without lawful justification—as required by the Impoundment Control Act. https://t.co/HJvRvMSr12 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

From a national security perspective, our unchecked border jeopardizes regional stability—and impedes much-needed economic reforms in Central America—while challenging the security of the entire Western Hemisphere. https://t.co/8oBnwVzyPI — PolitiTweet.org

.@ChuckGrassley and I remembered to wear our green today. 🍀 Happy #StPatricksDay! https://t.co/Stmo7naUva — PolitiTweet.org
