Met today with Anjali Chaturvedi and Jaime Areizaga-Soto—two nominees for important positions at VA. Looking forward to hearing more about their plans to ensure veterans receive their hard-earned care and benefits at their @SVACDems confirmation hearing next week. https://t.co/4zkQSiskZt — PolitiTweet.org

It's no secret that agriculture is a big part of our Montana way of life. We've got future farmers all over the Treasure State, and these two out of Huntley and Joliet are leading the pack as Montana FFA President and Vice President. https://t.co/JsDNVmq1I3 — PolitiTweet.org

I was deeply saddened by the passing of Dave Belcher, a dear friend and veteran who lost the battle to his unseen wounds of war. I spoke about him on the Senate floor today, and sent a message to all veterans and Americans struggling: Get help. Dial 988. These tools save lives. https://t.co/p6RpEagUdq — PolitiTweet.org

For too long, dark money has had too much power over our elections. Our DISCLOSE Act will shine a light on dark money donors, keep foreign money out of our elections, and ensure Montanans know exactly who's paying for online ads. It got a hearing today. Now let's get it passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Teague from Anaconda and Nimalka from Butte are Montana's ambassadors for the Do The Write Thing program, and they made the trek all the way to DC to share their essays and ideas about curbing youth violence. I'm glad they stopped by so I could tell them to run for public office! https://t.co/ZA78vcZq5r — PolitiTweet.org

Had the pleasure of meeting Jamie this morning, who's representing Montana well as a hardworking Senate Page this summer. Jamie's a smart kid. My colleagues and I are lucky to have him on the Senator floor helping run the show. https://t.co/OqiDJsl6v1 — PolitiTweet.org

There's been a bit of misinformation about what my bipartisan ag consolidation bills would actually do. The good news is you don't have to take my word for it, or anybody else's. You can read them for yourself! S. 3870: https://t.co/1j9UCSSehs S. 4030: https://t.co/YjiC9JiN5y https://t.co/TAmQf5CnvU — PolitiTweet.org

As the Treasure State continues to grow, it's critical that we have affordable public transportation options in every corner of the state. That's why I fought to get record investments in Montana's public transportation systems into the bipartisan infrastructure package. https://t.co/LpApIKyQvi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

This Wednesday, my South West Montana staff will hold mobile office hours in Park County in light of recent flooding. I encourage folks in the area to stop by with their questions, comments, concerns, and ideas—just as you can at any of my seven field offices across the state. https://t.co/IXEjxmelH0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

ICYMI: We secured another major investment from my bipartisan infrastructure law to construct a new terminal at the Yellowstone Airport. By growing the economy and creating jobs locally, this will have a big impact in our recovery from historic flooding. https://t.co/yhBcNTkgUA — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SVACDems: Starting today, the Veterans Crisis Line (VCL) will have a new number: Dial 988 then Press 1.   For veterans in crisis, this… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

I was proud to champion both the bill to designate this new hotline and the REACH for Veterans Act, which strengthens the transition to 988 with the Veterans Crisis Line. To reach the VCL, dial 988 then press 1. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

TODAY: The new National Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Crisis Hotline is now live—just dial 988 to be connected. Nobody should have to go far for help during a mental health crisis. This quick and memorable hotline will connect folks more easily with life-saving resources. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Monitoring the devastating news near Hardin. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. I’m grateful as always to our first responders for their service. https://t.co/vOrLKimHgV — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing makes this farmer happier than seeing the next generation ready to carry on the tradition. Looking forward to welcoming more Montana FFA groups to Washington in the coming weeks! https://t.co/iO61DoEXw3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

In a hearing this week, @SecDebHaaland and I were able to discuss her recent visit to Montana to meet with folks affected by flooding. I also questioned her about the Administration's plan to fully restore all access to @YellowstoneNPS—and I'll keep pushing until we get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Introduced a bipartisan bill this week to connect more Native Veterans with the loans they need to buy, build, or fix up homes on Tribal lands. Native Americans serve our nation at the highest rates, and this bill will help them access safe and affordable housing here at home. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Grateful for the chance to pay my respects to Woody Williams today. Woody was the last surviving WWII Medal of Honor recipient, and I'm glad we could pay a final salute to him and millions of fighting men and women of the Greatest Generation with this honor. https://t.co/ScDcLcLiES — PolitiTweet.org

I've heard from folks in Bozeman about significant gaps and delays they are experiencing in mail service, and it's unacceptable. Timely mail service is essential in Montana, so I wrote the @USPS yesterday to urge them to take every step necessary to restore full service ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Eager to get back to the farm this weekend after talking shop with this first-rate FFA crew out of Deer Lodge. The best part of my job is chatting with Montana's next generation of leaders—especially the next generation of ag leaders! https://t.co/Wrs1d9G0Ai — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

We rely on our brave first responders every day in Montana. They keep us safe, and they shouldn't be punished if they get hurt while doing so. My bill rights this wrong and ensures these federal employees get the full pensions they've paid into for years. https://t.co/8C5PVPRk5f — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

As a former school teacher and school board member, I know how important a high-quality education is for our kids' futures. Glad the MT School Board Association and the School Administrators of MT could stop by today to discuss how we can strengthen our public education system. https://t.co/fTS7egQJBF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Big news: My First Responders Fair RETIRE Act passed the House unanimously. Our first responders put themselves in harm's way to keep us safe, and my bipartisan bill will ensure they get their full retirement benefits if they're hurt on the job. Now let's pass it in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Honored to sit down with Admiral Linda Fagan, the 27th Commandant of the @USCG. The Coast Guard is a vital asset in our nation's armed forces, and Admiral Fagan's years of dedicated service and sacrifice have prepared her to lead it. https://t.co/mRO3hOz4O7 — PolitiTweet.org

This rehabilitation effort has been stalled for too long, and by building on the $100 million I secured for rehabilitation in my bipartisan infrastructure law, we're finally getting North Central Montana the resources it needs to get the job done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

St. Mary's Diversion Dam is the keystone of the Milk River Project—which is the main water supply for communities and cropland along the Hi-Line. We need to rehabilitate this dam affordably, which is why @SteveDaines and I are urging a hearing on our St. Mary's Reinvestment Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Honored to sit down with Admiral Linda Fagan as we consider her nomination to serve as the 27th Commandant of the @USCG.
