This helps our ongoing fight in Congress to provide toxic-exposed vets their long-overdue health care and benefits. While we still need to pass comprehensive toxic exposure legislation as quickly as possible, I encourage every eligible veteran to file a claim today. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
It’s a big day for veterans suffering from conditions related to military toxic exposures. I appreciate VA for taking steps to do right by these veterans by establishing presumptive conditions for nine rare respiratory conditions covered under my comprehensive COST of War Act. — PolitiTweet.org
President Biden @POTUS
In my State of the Union address, I announced that we would propose expanding disability and health benefits to vet… https://t.co/C09oR5Md82

As @SVACDems Chairman, I sent a letter last week urging VA Secretary McDonough for more transparency with the Program to help us hold the VA accountable and ensure we're adequately supporting caregivers like Dara in Montana and throughout the nation. They deserve nothing less. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
The Department also announced a plan to refine the eligibility requirements to ensure the Caregivers Program is meeting the intent of Congress. I was glad to see the Biden Administration take our concerns and the concerns of veterans and caregivers across the country seriously. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
Together, we held VA's feet to the fire. We held hearings. We sent letters. We got input from VA officials, VSOs, and caregivers on how to improve the Program. And just last month, VA announced a slew of changes—including a halt on discharging legacy participants. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
A few years ago, the previous administration was set to tighten the Program's eligibility requirements and unfairly deny access. Hearing concerns from veterans and caregivers alike, I raised hell—but they did it anyways. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
Tomy and Dara are two of many Montanans who know firsthand how vital the Caregivers Program is to our vets. Tomy sacrificed a whole lot for our country, and Dara had to work part-time to help him get the care he deserved. But Tomy and Dara were almost kicked from the program. 🧵 https://t.co/m2Xtd7hUDu — PolitiTweet.org

As the Senate returns from a state work period, one of my top priorities will be leveraging my role on the America COMPETES Act conference committee to strengthen our supply chain, defend our economic advantage over China, and bring down costs for Montana families. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
There's no good reason to continue reduced hours of operation at points of entry along our northern border. Operations at these ports are critical to our supply chain and economic growth in Montana's northern tier. @CBP needs to fully reopen our ports. https://t.co/ww8yh2pXbm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Orrin Hatch was a great American who served the people of Utah honorably for decades. Sharla and I are saddened to hear of his passing, and we send our condolences to his family. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
Tackling consolidation in the ag industry is critical to getting our ranchers a fair shake and bringing down the cost of meat at the grocery store. Good to see American Rescue Plan resources are going to this fight—now let's get my price transparency bill over the finish line. https://t.co/yAvzEBgCPY — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate wasn't in session this week, but the work didn't stop. In case you missed it, here's what we secured this week: 🚰 Another $127M for MT water projects 🔥 $19.3M for wildfire mitigation 🎒 $14M for rural MT schools & roads 🐟 $1.5M for MT fish passage projects — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
Good news ahead of fire season—we've secured $19.3 million from my bipartisan infrastructure law for wildfire mitigation in the Kootenai National Forest. We've got to do all we can to combat and mitigate wildfire damage. Montanans' homes and drinking water are at risk. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
Happy Earth Day from the Last Best Place! We're renting this land from our future generations, and we owe it to our kids and grandkids to leave this Earth a little better than we found it. https://t.co/Rh1wSNLkO1 — PolitiTweet.org

RT @dennisbragg: @SenatorTester believes it's a "mistake" to keep curtailing economic traffic across the U.S.-Canadian border, and calls on… — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
The American Rescue Plan keeps on delivering for Montanans—this time with another $127 million for water infrastructure projects across the state. These upgrades are long overdue. For our communities to have economic certainty and job growth, we need reliable water systems. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
🆕 We've secured more than $1.5 million from my bipartisan infrastructure law for Montana fish passage projects. When it comes to preserving our public lands and powering our outdoor recreation economy, clean water and wildlife conservation are essential. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
We’ve got to do more to connect veterans with life-saving mental health care. My Hannon Act created a new suicide prevention grant program that’ll do just that, and I encourage eligible organizations, Tribes, and local governments to apply today: https://t.co/xEhTbZLV81 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
For too long, consolidation in the meatpacking industry has squeezed Montana's family ranchers out of business. Capitalism only works when there's competition. That's why I fought to help boost our local small ag businesses with the American Rescue Plan. https://t.co/HQgIAcw1L4 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
Good to be out at Tenmile Creek Park with the Prickly Pear Land Trust and the Montana Army National Guard. This project is great for a lot of reasons, but especially for the work they've done to connect with Fort Harrison and create public access for our local veterans. https://t.co/7gr8JM9S3W — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
Old-Salt Co-Op is helping Montana ranchers expand their markets and bring the world's best meat right to the consumer. They're one of 30 small ag businesses across our state that received American Rescue Plan resources that I fought for to boost competition and processing power. https://t.co/zWnn5JfNM7 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
Montana's Community Health Centers work hard to reduce barriers and get folks the care they need—and Helena's Purview Health Center is no exception. Was honored to tour the new clinic this morning and receive an award from @NACHC. I'll always fight to keep our CHCs strong. https://t.co/FysMLzZPES — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
In rural areas like Montana, we rely on law enforcement agencies with fewer officers to keep folks safe across larger areas. Smaller agencies need access to proper funding without unnecessary red tape. That's what our bipartisan Invest to Protect Act is for—let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
The American soldiers who fought in the Battle of Dai Do displayed the utmost heroism, gallantry, and determination against stacked odds—and they emerged victorious. It's time we give these brave Marines the recognition and respect they've earned. https://t.co/HW5qgEZF3q — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
ICYMI: Our bipartisan infrastructure law reauthorized the Secure Rural Schools program and secured more than $14 million for Montana's rural schools, roads, and more. Rural schools are too often overlooked and underfunded, which is why I fought hard to secure these resources. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
There's no silver bullet, but I’m going to keep working hard on an all of the above, all hands on deck approach to make sure every Montanan has a place to call home. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
When it comes to housing, we not only have an affordability problem—we have a supply problem. That's why I've fought and will keep fighting to support programs like Owner Built Homes, the Homeowner Assistance Fund, Section 4, Housing Counseling, and more. https://t.co/4mNrKPoCbG — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
I'm urging @CBP to reopen all Montana ports of entry to pre-pandemic hours. Reduced hours are hurting essential operations along the northern border that are critical to our national security, supply chain, and local economies. It's time to fully reopen our ports. https://t.co/aCmbMzODMy — PolitiTweet.org

6 more inches of snow over the Easter weekend. We are so grateful. - Sharla https://t.co/eDC2M9npBR — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
Sharla and I have our eggs dyed and our seeds planted, so we're ringing in spring the best way we know how. Wishing a very happy and healthy Easter to all the Montana families celebrating today. — PolitiTweet.org
