On Juneteenth, we commemorate General Granger’s announcement of General Order #3, the total emancipation of all those held in slavery. May we never forget this dark time in our history & continue to promote freedom and equality across Iowa, the United States, and the world. — PolitiTweet.org

@SmallBizCmte @SBAgov @IowaSBDC It is important that as we look to reauthorize the Small Business Act, we remain focused on ensuring we are protecting taxpayer dollars while keenly assisting our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

@SmallBizCmte @SBAgov @IowaSBDC These programs have helped homeowners and small businesses alike. However, according to the SBA Inspector General, @SBAgov has continued to have issues delivering expedited relief to disaster victims while mitigating fraud and improper payments. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

@SmallBizCmte @SBAgov @IowaSBDC The disaster assistance programs provided by @SBAgov allow victims of a disaster to receive direct loans and working capital for physical damage or economic injury. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

@SmallBizCmte @SBAgov @IowaSBDC The @SBAgov’s Office of Disaster Assistance has played an essential role in the recovery effort by providing services & counseling to our small biz owners, but it is important that we continually assess these programs to ensure they're providing effective & timely assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

@SmallBizCmte @SBAgov @IowaSBDC During my visits to the disaster areas, I have seen first-hand the devastating impact the flooding had on our small businesses and have met with a number of businesses owners about the challenges they are facing. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

@SmallBizCmte @SBAgov @IowaSBDC Thankfully, as folks begin to rebuild their homes and neighborhoods, they will be aided by the disaster supplemental package that was signed into law earlier this month, which included my amendment for USDA to cover the loss of on-farm stored grain. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

@SmallBizCmte @SBAgov @IowaSBDC In my home state of Iowa, widespread flooding has had a devastating impact, causing an estimated $1.6 billion in damage in Iowa alone with even more damage reported across the Midwest. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

SOON: I’ll be chairing a @SmallBizCmte hearing focused on @SBAgov’s efforts to aid communities and business devastated by the flooding in #Iowa, and across the country. @IowaSBDC director Lisa Shimkat will be testifying.

.@GoodMultiplied awards folks across the country who strive to make their communities a better place. I was honored to meet w/two of #Iowa’s winners, Isiah Lysins & Dr. Kit Ford. Congrats, and thanks for supporting our communities & impacting the lives of so many Iowans. https://t.co/yTvbRLAnav — PolitiTweet.org

Much needed security assistance is on the way to our friends in Ukraine, providing key training and military capabilities to defend their sovereignty from ongoing Russian aggression. https://t.co/rHNEJ0EHWl — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

We need to provide our military men and women the necessary support to keep our country safe—including improved technology to overmatch our adversaries. The NDAA has bipartisan support, and I’m hopeful my colleagues will move it quickly through the Senate. https://t.co/x6yP8brLUL — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

The Trump administration is right to listen to #Iowa farmers. The practice of handing out waivers left and right, to refineries big and small, has got to stop. This change needs to happen to ensure a robust RFS. https://t.co/IESdchPKn9 — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Glad I got the chance to catch up with @IowaSOS Paul Pate & his granddaughter, Chloe, this morning. Secretary Pate has served #Iowa for decades—thank you for your many years of service to our state, including your work protecting survivors through the Safe at Home program. https://t.co/BQYa9wooO7 — PolitiTweet.org

I am also glad that, in response to my letter last month, the Corps has pledged to take action to improve its communication with local levee sponsors by providing regular updates to them for the duration of the flood season. https://t.co/5IJ9pwTJlt — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

#Iowans should have peace of mind knowing the Army Corps is putting their needs first—which is why I’m fighting to ensure the Corps prioritizes flood control & gives our farmers and local experts a seat at the table when it comes to decision making. https://t.co/7ScehIQYOF — PolitiTweet.org

.@EPA has a harmful habit of handing out small refinery waivers like candy—doing so w/no Congressional oversight. I’m pushing bipartisan leg that will address these issues head on & provide more predictability & transparency for #Iowa farmers & producers. https://t.co/ifKwRgO6Kq — PolitiTweet.org

During a @SenateAgGOP hearing, I questioned Administration officials on the USMCA’s improvements to address non-tariff barriers to agriculture products and technical trade rules, and how they will translate to real benefits for Iowa’s farmers and manufacturers. WATCH: https://t.co/I7kDut4b8m — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

The #USMCA is a win for #Iowa’s farmers and manufacturers—and they are counting on us to pass it. @SpeakerPelosi, it’s time to start moving on USMCA. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Obama’s #WOTUS rule gave the federal gov’t authority to regulate water on 97% of the land in Iowa. I fought hard to get that rule scrapped; & thankfully the Trump Admin has proposed a new rule to provide certainty. @EPWGOP, I pressed ag leaders on how it can be improved: https://t.co/aAyP1OZi0M — PolitiTweet.org

#ICYMI, I joined @Varneyco today to discuss my “common-CENTS” bill to save #Iowans’ tax dollars and cut unnecessary government spending. #MakeEmSqueal https://t.co/SjBRMY5nUX — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Great to see you! I couldn’t agree more—It’s time we bring the #BiodieselTaxIncentive across the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

Washington is losing money making money. After my CENTS-ible fix, #Iowans would be keeping more than $150 million over 10 years. That’s a whole lot of spare change for your piggy bank! #MakeEmSqueal https://t.co/F3Z13OwmFt — PolitiTweet.org

Joni Ernst @SenJoniErnst

#Iowa taxpayers are getting nickeled-&-dimed by increasing costs of metals in coins. My two “cents”: let’s use cheaper materials to make coins--w/o changing their size or functionality--and save taxpayers millions. https://t.co/sv7t2HNxpY — PolitiTweet.org
