No better way to spend #VeteransDay2019 than presenting well-deserved medals to Iowa veterans and their families. At today’s ceremony in Clarinda, I was honored to present medals to veterans for their tremendous service to our great nation. 🏅 🎖 https://t.co/piqa45togk — PolitiTweet.org

Started today honoring some of Iowa’s finest at Hy-Vee’s vets breakfast in Council Bluffs. Whether it’s increasing access to mental health care, cutting red tape for vet-owned small biz, or holding the VA accountable, I‘ll never stop fighting for our veterans. #VeteransDay2019 https://t.co/i2Zu1wZgKS — PolitiTweet.org

Many women broke down barriers long before @SenMcSallyAZ and I served in the armed forces. We discussed our favorite military women who made history. #FightLikeAGirl https://t.co/lWiSM8GZtj — PolitiTweet.org

Happy 244th Birthday to the brave men and women of the @USMC! #SemperFi https://t.co/ESBro7QjuW — PolitiTweet.org

Through the leadership of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Helmut Kohl, and the resilient spirit of the German people, the Iron Curtain was shattered and the end of the Soviet Empire ushered in an era of unprecedented freedom across the European continent. https://t.co/rUf3Vgedu2 — PolitiTweet.org

Today, as we commemorate the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, we remember the triumph of freedom over oppression, truth over lies, and democracy over socialism. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

I sat down with @SenMcSallyAZ to discuss our roles as female combat veterans serving in the United States Senate. Watch as we talk about why we chose to join the military! #FightLikeAGirl https://t.co/n75OcwV5vK — PolitiTweet.org

The WWII generation is getting smaller every day. It’s time we commemorate the brave individuals of the elite Ranger Battalions of WWII who fought to keep us safe. Thanks @VFWHQ for endorsing my bill w/@SenDuckworth to award them with a Congressional Gold Medal. #VeteransDay2019 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

As we approach #VeteransDay2019, we are reminded of the unparalleled courage & sacrifice of the Greatest Generation. I’m working with @SenDuckworth on a bill to recognize the heroic actions of our brave WWII Army Rangers with a Congressional Gold Medal. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Great to catch up with Amanda De Jong, the Iowa Director of @usdafsa for an update on the Farm Service Agency’s implementation of CRP, MFP, and the disaster programs. Thanks for coming by! https://t.co/3E1F3DvcNK — PolitiTweet.org

#ICYMI, @SenCapito and I are demanding the @DeptVetAffairs take action following recent reports of sexual assault and harassment. Read more: https://t.co/WVm1zwsy3I — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Soon, I plan to respond with a good faith proposal of my own—a bill that will support survivors & hold abusers accountable. I invite my colleagues across the aisle to join me in this very, very, important effort. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

It sounds petty. And it sounds unbelievable. But, unfortunately that’s the reality. You would think that supporting survivors and preventing abuse would be placed ahead of petty politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

I’m all too aware of how this town works. Election year politics are in full swing. And the grim reality is Democrats cannot afford to be seen as giving Republicans a win. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

WATCH: For months, I’ve worked closely and in good faith with my Democratic colleagues on a bipartisan solution to modernize and reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. This week, it all came to a screeching halt. Here’s why: https://t.co/oqQjq8F09A — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

A recent report showed an uptick in the rate of veteran suicide. I’m demanding answers from the @DeptVetAffairs on their suicide prevention efforts—we’ve got to find lasting solutions to this issue. Read my letter to @SecWilkie: https://t.co/KVLUrqJpD7 — PolitiTweet.org

TODAY: I submitted my comment on @EPA’s supplemental #RFS rule. My message to @EPAAWheeler has not changed: uphold the #RFS and provide certainty to Iowa farmers and biofuels producers that 15 billion gallons means 15 billion gallons. Read my letter here: https://t.co/inSQWtb2yc — PolitiTweet.org

My bill creates an automatic alert system for projects with ballooning budgets and missed deadlines, which will make it impossible to throw taxpayer money down bottomless sinkholes without being noticed. We’re ensuring greater transparency and accountability for Iowa taxpayers. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

🚨Boondoggles beware! My commonsense, bipartisan Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act passed out of committee unanimously today. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

To my fellow veterans in #Iowa and across our nation: please know you always have my full support and my deepest gratitude. As Veterans Day approaches, let’s all give thanks to those who have worn the uniform for their selfless sacrifices to keep our country safe. https://t.co/YDZly1wGwd — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

While the Dems stall on important work for the 🇺🇸 people, like passing the #USMCA & funding our military, my @SenateGOP colleagues and I are hard at work confirming conservative judges. So far, we have confirmed over 150 of @realdonaldtrump’s nominees! — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Alarming reports of sexual assault & harassment at the @DeptVetAffairs make it clear more needs to be done to address this serious problem. @SenCapito & I are calling for action to hold perpetrators accountable & prevent this from happening again.

Representatives from my office with be holding traveling office hours in 10 counties across #Iowa today. Need assistance with a federal agency? Stop by! https://t.co/FadAppYqZs — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

During my ruck march with the Officer Candidate School at Camp Dodge on Sunday, I couldn’t help but think about my disappointment with my Democratic colleagues who chose to stall support for our military men and women for political show. Democrats need to stop these antics. https://t.co/tGZ2Z4TvUv — PolitiTweet.org

I was glad to join folks from @AiCommission today for their #NSCAI conference, and remain confident in America’s continued leadership in AI development. https://t.co/qcXs4gjNRy — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

As chair of @SASCMajority Subcmte on Emerging Threats & Capabilities, I’ve directed attention to emerging tech like AI, & our efforts to ensure DoD is well positioned to outpace our adversaries & maintain a strategic advantage in these key technologies. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

When I served in Kuwait & Iraq, one of the most important things for my troops was knowing that, w/out a doubt, the American people & policymakers in gov't stood behind & supported them every step of the way. The decision by the Dems last week fell far short of this sentiment. https://t.co/T9HbXYVmAR — PolitiTweet.org

It's National Veterans Small Business Week! #Iowa is home to more than 50 small biz owned by service-disabled vets. That’s why I’m working w/@SenDuckworth on a bill to ensure they have the same contracting opportunities as other small biz. Learn more: https://t.co/2z6MoucRWH — PolitiTweet.org
