As resilient & tenacious as Iowa’s biofuel producers are, they've been hit hard by #COVID19. As a result, jobs have been lost & lives have been upended in Iowa. Today @EPWGOP hearing I pressed @EPAAWheeler on his commitment to expand biofuel infrastructure and protect the RFS. https://t.co/lEIUQwqPwG — PolitiTweet.org

Good news for Iowa’s ag community! Our state-inspected meat processors are now one step closer to being able to sell products across state lines—increasing access to new markets so they can grow their biz. Thx @IADeptAg Sec. Naig for all your hard work! https://t.co/JrvZLwHVid — PolitiTweet.org

Every day, essential workers are putting their lives at risk to care for our families and keep our country running. Meanwhile, the federal government is doling out hardworking Iowans’ money to millionaires NOT WORKING. My bill ends this. #MakeEmSqueal https://t.co/F2Og7S8weH — PolitiTweet.org

Taxpayer money should never support an abortion or prop up an industry that’s sole purpose is ending life. Pay it back. https://t.co/LgEUlsthJx — PolitiTweet.org

I joined a call w/@mercysiouxcity to speak with health workers battling #COVID19 in Iowa. Our communities rely on health care workers who each and every day care for our loved ones. I'm deeply grateful for your service, and I will keep advocating on your behalf. Stay strong. — PolitiTweet.org

Even before #COVID19, Iowa faced a child care crisis, and I’ve been working hard to increase access to child care & support our providers. On a call with Iowans w/@SCActionNetwork, I discussed my efforts, including the ~$32 million in relief I helped secure for Iowa’s providers. — PolitiTweet.org

The #PaycheckProtectionProgram continues to be a lifeline for Iowa businesses. Since we worked across the aisle to put more money into the important program, Iowa #smallbiz have received: ✅ 53,419 loans ✅ Over $5 billion in total funds — PolitiTweet.org

The House Dems’ latest bill misses the mark. #COVID19 relief should focus on the virus & its impact, not political wish lists. I’m committed to working w/Rs & Ds on relief that helps Iowa’s workers, biz, farmers, health care providers, & families on the front lines of COVID-19. https://t.co/Fhx2bZEGKj — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Iowa farmers are resilient, but this pandemic has challenged them. That’s why I worked to provide them support by bolstering the CCC & giving @USDA the ability to provide direct assistance. Thanks to @realdonaldtrump, relief is on the way to our farmers. https://t.co/SQBEVANDMH — PolitiTweet.org

Even before #COVID19, I have been working to increase broadband across our state, but this pandemic has further highlighted the need for internet access. Last week, @SecretarySonny announced an important ReConnect Grant to increase broadband access in Iowa https://t.co/x0yNfReJ7O — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

#COVID19 has impacted nearly every sector of our economy, including folks working at our hotels and lodging. I appreciated the opportunity to speak with Iowans with the @AAHOA to help walk through the relief we’ve provided, & learn more about how we can continue to help. — PolitiTweet.org

The @WHO failed to hold Communist China accountable as they continued to spread lies & misinformation about #COVID19. They failed to keep Americans healthy and safe. It’s past time they’re held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

In the bipartisan #COVID19 relief packages, we worked to ensure states like Iowa received funding to increase testing capabilities. Last week, @CDCgov announced that Iowa will receive over $114 million to enhance testing in our communities. https://t.co/yMcxR2iHrp — PolitiTweet.org

It's now clear: Pensacola attack last yr was a terrorist attack w/ties to al Qaeda. We need thorough vetting of foreign mil students, changes to their visas, & a revamp of DOD int’l training programs. This is exactly what my bill w/@SenRickScott would do. https://t.co/zlI8cLgdss — PolitiTweet.org

#ICYMI, @SBAgov has finally released instructions for small businesses to apply for forgiveness of their #PaycheckProtectionProgram loans. For the application, and more information, visit: https://t.co/N3kiQYIxMK — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

I’ve been working hard, along with @SecretarySonny, to support Iowa’s ag community & rural areas during #COVID19. @usdaRD has a great website to help folks understand the resources & assistance available to help our rural communities and businesses. Visit: https://t.co/5Y4e8b8xmf — PolitiTweet.org

Iowa’s new parents need relief now, not a year from now. I’m working with Democrats and Republicans on a bill that will make a simple fix to ensure Iowa families get vital support right away. https://t.co/x0fVQMNaVo — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the #PaycheckProtectionProgram, Frymoyer Stone Fabrication & Supply in Bettendorf has been able to keep their staff on full-time during #COVID19 https://t.co/5QVBrblADA — PolitiTweet.org

Many of Iowa’s child care providers are continuing to offer critical services during this pandemic. That’s why I’m leading a bipartisan effort to support providers and our working families as we combat #COVID19 https://t.co/zGSJxxkHRu — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

In the bipartisan relief package I helped pass, we worked to provide resources to @USDA in order to ensure kids have access to the food they need. USDA recently announced they will continue these programs through the summer months. Learn more: — PolitiTweet.org

The #PaycheckProtectionProgram continues to provide relief to Iowa’s small businesses, like Confluence Brewing in Des Moines. https://t.co/pnVR4XMqyU — PolitiTweet.org

Local reporting has always been critical for our communities in #Iowa, but that’s especially true today amid #COVID19. Here are two ideas to support Iowa’s newspapers, radio, and TV. ⁩ https://t.co/KRWHzF8OZS — PolitiTweet.org

Whether it’s supporting child care providers & increasing access to quality, affordable child care, or helping new parents get diapers for their babies, I’ve been working across the aisle to provide relief & support to Iowa’s families.

For new parents, #COVID19 has brought unforeseen challenges at such an important time in their lives. They need assistance now, not next year, which is why I’m supporting a bipartisan bill to get them direct financial assistance right away. https://t.co/3IiTCBPDOB — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

I’ve been laser-focused at the federal level on supporting Iowans, and all Americans, through #COVID19. Now, as we continue towards economic recovery, we can’t let bureaucratic red tape get in the way. I joined @MarshaBlackburn in calling for regulatory relief for our businesses. https://t.co/Ehq8tbPXbY — PolitiTweet.org

In these difficult times, we need to look out for one another, but self-care is also so important. It’s ok to ask for help. May is #MentalHealthMonth, & I want to encourage folks to take advantage of the resources available to them. Visit: https://t.co/miZrvcJ0CP https://t.co/nbeWMztG7H — PolitiTweet.org
