Nearly 300 days after @POTUS signed the #USMCA, House Democrats are STILL stalling on it. #Iowans have made it clear they want this deal & the benefits it will bring. This isn’t about politics, it’s about the American people. Let’s get this deal done. https://t.co/y38U1ebIGN — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Biodiesel and ethanol plants have been forced to close their doors. It’s past time we get a deal on paper that protects the #RFS and upholds the law. Let’s make this right; the livelihoods of Iowans depend on it. https://t.co/GoMGuuhgtj — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Enjoyed chatting with @JeffAngeloRadio about the #RFS and #USMCA. I’ll never stop fighting for our hardworking farmers! https://t.co/VBMIjxzGpg — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

It’s time to put an end to Washington’s reckless behavior. Billion-dollar binge buying is no way to budget. Someone has to be the Grinch on behalf of our taxpayers. #MakeEmSqueal https://t.co/i0Jm00qyVn — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Let’s calm the anxieties in farm country by making it right and restoring the integrity of the #RFS. 15 billion means 15 billion. This is the key to a good deal for Iowa farmers and biofuels producers. https://t.co/CcWRBge1IE — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

To prevent buyers’ remorse, I’m giving everyone in Washington fair warning: My office will be reviewing your last minute purchases and asking you to justify them to the taxpayers. It’s time to put an end to this reckless behavior. Billion-dollar binge buying is no way to budget. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

With our national debt now surpassing $22 trillion, Washington should be looking for ways to save by canceling or delaying unnecessary expenses, rather than splurging on end-of-year wish lists. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

This bill won’t end all wasteful spending, but it will force agencies to put more thought into long term planning and curtail the bad habit of out-of-control impulsive spending. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

That’s why earlier this year I introduced the End-of-Year Fiscal Responsibility Act, which would limit an agency’s spending in the last two months of the year to no more than the average it spent per month during the first ten months of the year. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Last year’s $804 billion budget deficit could have been wiped out and turned into a surplus if the unobligated balances being held in federal coffers had been canceled. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

This year, it’s estimated the government will end up with more than $825 billion in unspent funds that have not been committed by contract or otherwise obligated to be spent. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

And what are we as Congress doing about this wasteful spending? Nada. Congress is sitting idly by letting Washington bureaucrats waste the hard-earned dollars of folks in my home state of #Iowa. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

-$4.6 million on lobster tail and crab; -$2.1 million on games, toys, and wheeled goods; -Over $53,000 on china tableware; -More than $40,000 on clocks; -And nearly $12,000 for a commercial foosball table! — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

And let me tell you folks – #Iowans, and hardworking folks across the country, should be appalled by many of the last minute purchases our tax dollars are paying for. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

If not spent by midnight on September 30th, leftover dollars expire and can no longer be used. Rather than returning the money to taxpayers, binge buying bureaucrats are wasting billions of taxpayer dollars needlessly. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

‘Tis the season in Washington. Gov’t agencies are going on their annual “Christmas in September, use-it or lose-it” shopping spree. I’m going to the #Senate floor to put binge buying bureaucrats on notice—we’re watching! #MakeEmSqueal Tune in: https://t.co/yoosX64CMe — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the first day of fall! That means it’s almost time to see all the beautiful fall foliage #Iowa has to offer! 🍁 🍂 https://t.co/SJZxpTlkm2 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

In America we often take our right to freely worship for granted. Thank you @POTUS for taking this step to protect people of all faiths around the world from persecution. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

#ICYMI @WashTimes: Binge-buying Washington bureaucrats rush to spend 20% of $500 billion in one month in 'use it or lose it' spending spree. My bill will stop this reckless behavior. #MakeEmSqueal https://t.co/WjGMe7GwKi — PolitiTweet.org

.@gazettedotcom: “U.S. Sen Joni Ernst is latching on to the Area 51 moment to bring attention to government waste. She dedicated her monthly Squeal Award to ‘our federal government’s out-of-this-world spending.’” Read more ⬇️ #MakeEmSqueal https://t.co/M4RHBvrhy6 — PolitiTweet.org

#Iowa pork producers like Mike share my support for the #USMCA. It’s a win for Iowa. And all America. WATCH: https://t.co/7qXsEnRMrx — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the team @iowafarmertoday on a great 35 years! Thanks for all you do to provide top notch coverage for Iowa’s farmers! https://t.co/d3NRJutoEP — PolitiTweet.org

🌮 🌮 -bout a good time! In Warren County, I helped out at the @TacoJohns in Indianola, and had the chance to hear firsthand about the issues facing Iowa small businesses, particularly the franchise industry. #99CountyTour https://t.co/NCxrZTQyNW — PolitiTweet.org

What do you do if an 👽 asks you to take it to your leader?  @CDCgov's alien invasion survival guide has the answer: "Buy yourself some time by showing it a @ladygaga music video...”   How much did this nonsense cost? 🤔 #MakeEmSqueal #StormingArea51 https://t.co/grK6tOkMzE https://t.co/EvDQuebSml — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

A 🛸 really did land in Roswell, NM! @NEAarts spent $15,000 of taxpayer money to send a large-scale UFO sculpture on a UFO roadshow across the country, which included a stop in #RoswellNewMexico. #MakeEmSqueal #Area51storm https://t.co/R9kdzd2YJa — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

While UFO-enthusiasts will be disappointed there are no 👽🛸 at #Area51, a Martian flying saucer designed by @NASA that crashed during test flights was moth-balled, but only after it had already abducted $222 million from taxpayers. #MakeEmSqueal #Area51Storm https://t.co/mRRO9edNGl — PolitiTweet.org

.@NASA spent $30,000 of YOUR MONEY to attend Martian New Year’s parties … in Mars, PA! The galactic gathering includes a sci-fi costume contest, music, & fireworks. Come on folks! #MakeEmSqueal https://t.co/SYAU4iPtWd — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

.@NASA spent $125,000 of your hard-earned dollars developing an interplanetary pizza delivery service that was grounded before it took off. The 🍕 toppings—which would be alien to most Earthlings—include crushed bugs and grass clippings! #MakeEmSqueal https://t.co/t0B7T9yVxl — PolitiTweet.org
