Iowa’s food pantries always play a vital role in our communities, but especially during COVID-19. Thanks to the folks at Crescent Food Pantry for visiting with me about all you do to help Iowans in & around Pottawattamie County! #99CountyTour https://t.co/9d32m9PCgy — PolitiTweet.org

Next stop: Ida County where I had the chance to visit local stores on Main Street in Ida Grove. I heard from small biz owners about the importance and success of the #PaycheckProtectionProgram. Thanks for having me! #99CountyTour https://t.co/C22iNDRgU6 — PolitiTweet.org

Kicked off the day in Manson to visit with local leaders about a number of issues I’m working on that are important to folks in Calhoun County, like increasing access to broadband & fighting for Iowa’s biofuel community. #99CountyTour https://t.co/bsyvyjH8fu — PolitiTweet.org

76 years ago the Allies stormed the beaches of Normandy and changed the tides of WWII and the world forever. #DDay https://t.co/T6T9lTupCZ — PolitiTweet.org

Crops are in the ground and our farmers deserve the certainty to access all their crop protection products and not have their hands tied by this decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see @TheJusticeDept taking steps to ensure that our cattle producers have a fair and competitive market to operate in. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Tomorrow, on #DDay, we pause to remember all those who stormed the beaches of Normandy to protect the free world. Earlier this year, @SenDuckworth & I passed a bill to award WWII Army Rangers, like Lester Cook of Des Moines, the Congressional Gold Medal. https://t.co/Vnx7wPyGnh — PolitiTweet.org

🚨 UPDATE: @POTUS just signed this important bill into law! #PaycheckProtectionProgram — PolitiTweet.org

Between their efforts to provide a cleaner, cheaper choice at the ⛽️ for our consumers to stepping up & producing hand sanitizer to combat #COVID19, Iowa’s biofuel community does so much for our state. Thx to the hardworking folks w/@GrowthEnergy for speaking with me this week! — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

I’m continuing to listen to and hear from Iowans across the state! Thanks to @iowapca and @iowarestaurant for visiting with me today. I’m working hard to support you as we work together to safely reopen our state & economy. https://t.co/N9U6MK1Sww — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve heard from service providers across Iowa that the pandemic is intensifying the needs of survivors of domestic violence. I sent a letter w/@RepCindyAxne asking @IAGovernor to quickly distribute federal funds for programs to ensure survivors have safe housing options. https://t.co/PFFZgpqSEH — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

As our state begins to take steps toward safely reopening, I’m continuing to push for support for our families in every stage of life—from new parents to our seniors. Read my column: https://t.co/ppqCSOjGwj — PolitiTweet.org

Our essential workers are our heroes. It's time we pay them back, and I have a plan to do it. https://t.co/og3DLeKhZF — PolitiTweet.org

NEWS: The Senate passed a bill to extend time small businesses can use #PaycheckProtectionProgram dollars & provide more flexibility to use funds. The bill isn’t perfect, but I've heard from many of Iowa's #smallbiz about these issues, & I'm glad we could deliver this relief. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

🚨Attention farmers🚨 @IowaFarmBureau and @SBAGov are hosting a webinar tomorrow at noon to answer your questions about the #PaycheckProtectionProgram & Economic Injury Disaster Loans! https://t.co/tFo4Te4vD9 — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve long been an advocate for a strong partnership between the United States and Israel. Thanks to folks @AIPAC for taking some time yesterday to update me on your current efforts. You all play a vital role in Iowa & across the country! — PolitiTweet.org

The murder of George Floyd was a preventable tragedy. We have recurring issues of police officers abusing their authority & need to know all the facts surrounding these horrific events. One step is to require oversight/transparency from any police dept that receives fed funding. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

While not perfect, the #PaycheckProtectionProgram has been a successful tool in helping Iowa’s small biz keep employees on the payroll and the bills paid during #COVID19. Now, we need to continue to improve our relief programs & help our #smallbiz & economy get up and running. https://t.co/Zkag5rcSIj — PolitiTweet.org

I’m about to question former Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein. WATCH: — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

I’m glad @US_FDA heard our concerns & those of industry & provided much needed clarity, but this guidance may be too restrictive, leaving ethyl alcohol produced by Iowa’s ethanol industry on the sidelines when the need for hand sanitizer remains high. https://t.co/zMu8MFfUt7 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

#COVID19 has brought to light a number of areas we need to prioritize and that I continue to work on: ✔️ Securing our food supply chain ✔️ Increasing access to rural broadband ✔️ Decreasing our dependency on China https://t.co/p1hYBlyLwB — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

It’s always great to get an update from folks with @iJAGRocks on the work they’re doing. Even in these difficult times, iJAG students are continuing to rise to the occasion and create new opportunities to succeed. Thanks for speaking with me today! — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Right now, we can’t hear the peaceful protesters’ voices over the sounds of shattering glass and splintering woods. Violence is not the answer—we need to come together, lift each other up, and ensure justice is served. https://t.co/2CtSnx3liB — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Iowa’s egg industry has seen a drastic drop in demand due to #COVID19 & some have had to dump product. These hardworking folks need support, & that’s why I joined @ChuckGrassley, @IAGovernor, and @IADeptAg Sec. Naig to call on @USDA to include egg producers in coronavirus relief. https://t.co/RqEOupI0MM — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Great news! As a result of the bipartisan CARES Act, Iowa has received critical funding to expand broadband & ensure our students have access to the resources they need. https://t.co/X6w2nfF77u — PolitiTweet.org

For Iowa’s families—from those with newborns to our seniors—I’ll continue fighting for you and working to get you the support you need, especially during this pandemic. My latest column: https://t.co/ppqCSO257J — PolitiTweet.org

There must be justice for George Floyd. Right now, we have to work together with our friends and neighbors—as one nation—toward solutions to these recurring cases. These Iowans have found a place to start. — PolitiTweet.org
