GREAT NEWS! The #GreatAmericanOutdoorsAct has PASSED the House and is headed to the President's desk! This historic legislation includes full, permanent funding for LWCF and billions to address the maintenance backlogs in our National Parks and surrounding areas. https://t.co/AnD0VbjUIO — PolitiTweet.org

Our nation's veterans fought bravely for us—we must do the same for them. I’m proud to have pushed this amendment through the Senate, which will help ensure Vietnam vets living with the detrimental effects of their exposure to Agent Orange get the benefits they've earned. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

BIG NEWS: My amendment requiring @DeptVetAffairs to expand benefits to Vietnam veterans suffering—and dying—from illnesses related to their exposure to Agent Orange during their service was included in the NDAA, and is one step closer to becoming law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

I hope that my colleagues will join me in doing right by our veterans by voting YES on my amendment to #EndTheWait for those that have already sacrificed so greatly. They’ve waited too long to receive these benefits, and they shouldn’t have to wait a minute longer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

My amendment to the NDAA directs VA to acknowledge the overwhelming evidence already put forth by veterans, scientists, and medical experts—and provide Vietnam veterans with the benefits they’ve earned. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Taking care of our veterans is a cost of war—plain and simple. For far too long, veterans suffering from certain illnesses relating to Agent Orange exposure during their service in Vietnam have been unjustly denied their benefits. This is wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Justice is long overdue for the thousands of Vietnam veterans suffering from illnesses related to their exposure to Agent Orange. Join me, live on the Senate floor, as I urge my colleagues to support my amendment that helps right this wrong. https://t.co/gWeepDHEl7 — PolitiTweet.org

As negotiations on NDAA continue, we must ensure our veterans aren’t left behind. That's why, in a few moments, I'll be live on the Senate floor to discuss my amendment to expand VA benefits to Vietnam vets suffering from illnesses related to Agent Orange exposure. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

William Pendley has run @BLMNational for too long without a public vetting process. I'm leading my colleagues in demanding Mr. Pendley's nomination process be expedited, allowing his abysmal anti-public lands record to finally face the public scrutiny it deserves. https://t.co/avQdCx18EZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

When our military families are called upon to relocate around the world, we have a responsibility to ensure their transitions are as smooth as possible. Proud to see this common sense legislation one step closer to the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

This country is a better place because John Lewis fought his entire life to make it that way. We have lost a giant. It’s up to all of us to continue the fight for equal justice where he left off. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Independent music venues have been among the hardest hit during the COVID-19 pandemic. The #RESTART Act will give these and other main street Montana businesses the resources they need to keep the lights on and the music playing. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

I've got a lot of practicing to do before I'm ready to take center stage. In the meantime, we've got to ensure our independent music venues can stay afloat during this crisis. Proud to join my friend @SenatorBennet in the fight to #SaveOurStages with the bipartisan #RESTART Act🎵 https://t.co/4NUCQl8pZp — PolitiTweet.org

.@BLMNational's noncompetitive oil and gas leasing program needs a tune-up, stat. My Leasing Market Efficiency Act will streamline these development leases and ensure BLM staff have more time to do what they're supposed to—take care of our public lands. https://t.co/WHuYnVgOFS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

It's my job to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent efficiently—especially when it comes to our public lands. The Leasing Market Efficiency Act will help cut down on red tape, @BLMNational staff time, and waste in the oil and gas noncompetitive leasing program. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

.@BLMNational’s noncompetitive oil and gas leasing program is about as efficient as a steering wheel on a blinded folded mule at night. I’m introducing the Leasing Market Efficiency Act to bring some much-need Montana common sense to this outdated and inefficient program. https://t.co/S7bnuPd8ci — PolitiTweet.org

Slowing the spread of this virus is possible. But we've all got to work together. That means following social distancing guidelines, practicing good hygiene, and of course, remembering to #MaskUpMT. https://t.co/dqEam5zoGM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

This is a perversion of our justice system and undermines the rule of law. President Trump has made clear that he believes his closest friends are above the law and this country is worse off for that. https://t.co/PtSqlkUfxv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Today's groundbreaking is a testament to what's possible when we put politics aside and commit ourselves to those who served our country. I'll continue my push to ensure this project stays on track and that VA does their part in delivering a facility worthy of Montana veterans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

As Ranking Member of @SVACDems, it's my mission to ensure our country lives up to the promises we make to those who serve. For far too long, veterans in Western Montana have had to make due with an undersized clinic and overworked staff—but no more. https://t.co/Z48EUhX2Rf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

This clinic was included in my push to expand the capacity of VA through my bipartisan VA Choice and Quality Employment Act of 2017. I was proud to push this critical bill through the Senate and across the President’s desk, ensuring VA could better serve the needs of MT vets. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Honored to join this morning's groundbreaking ceremony for the new Missoula Veterans Affairs Clinic. This new facility will provide primary and mental health care to the thousands of Montana veterans who use VA services. https://t.co/wIGgB28SfN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Looking forward to breaking ground on the new Missoula VA clinic this morning, which will expand primary and mental health care services for veterans in the area. This project has been years in the making, and I've been proud to fight for our MT veterans every step of the way. https://t.co/mQ3mcJf8b5 — PolitiTweet.org

In need of a coronavirus test but not sure where to go? COVID-19 testing events are going on across Montana. For the latest on events and locations, call your local health department or click here: https://t.co/3mv3ZziZUr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Staying six feet apart from folks—and hay bales—is pretty easy out here on the farm. But if you're out and about and can't maintain that social distance, make sure to #MaskUpMT! https://t.co/MbVyBVd8sk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Montana veterans eligible for care at VA can access free COVID-19 testing today through July 14 at drive-thru locations in Cut Bank, Billings, Glendive, Hamilton, Helena and Kalispell. More details available here: https://t.co/7GLWJFi6H5 — PolitiTweet.org
