Great news: The new pilot program started by my Hannon Act will happen right here in the Treasure State. It's critical we expand VA's footprint in rural states like Montana and provide more veterans access to the lifesaving mental health care they need. https://t.co/1bM7hmQQ3r — PolitiTweet.org

Jon and Shon have the spring farming itch. Hooking up to the duck foot in preparation for the coming seeding season. Here’s hoping for much needed moisture for all of Montana agriculture. - Sharla https://t.co/1ZxbFptVLA — PolitiTweet.org

Yet another reason why it's important to vote to fund the government. Montana's law enforcement does a top-notch job of keeping our communities safe, and I was proud to work across the aisle to secure the targeted resources they need to get the job done. https://t.co/suCT9KNTLt — PolitiTweet.org

Tribal colleges provide thousands of Native and non-Native students with high-quality secondary education, offering an affordable path to higher ed. Proud that we could help these institutions recover from the pandemic with the American Rescue Plan. https://t.co/s4bheHgM26 — PolitiTweet.org

While this year's Ag Week is coming to a close, rest assured that this farmer in the Senate will still be fighting like hell for family farmers and ranchers every single day. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Making targeted investments that keep small businesses going was a key part of negotiating the American Rescue Plan. Beef and sugar are cornerstones of Sidney's economy, which is why I fought for ARPA resources for Eastern Montana Meats and Sidney Sugars. https://t.co/aqjcwXRy7n — PolitiTweet.org

Here's a fun flashback for your Friday—from the Big Sandy Mountaineer, March 25, 1954: My folks went to the National Farmers Union convention in Minnesota, drove home a new GMC truck, and had to share the excitement with the whole town. Still have that truck working to this day. https://t.co/iNMMJQ549x — PolitiTweet.org

I had the chance to meet with Judge Jackson yesterday. As we talked, she demonstrated a deep commitment to the rule of law, to defending Montanans' constitutional rights, and to impartiality. Her qualifications are plain as day, and I look forward to voting for her confirmation. https://t.co/CmeiZfNbJh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Decades of unchecked consolidation in the ag industry has caused prices to balloon for both ranchers and consumers. I talked with Montana's rural reporters today about how we're fighting to lower meat costs by investing in local processing plants with the American Rescue Plan. https://t.co/lFMAV2j8sd — PolitiTweet.org

Rooting for our @USMNT tonight in their first World Cup qualifier against Mexico. As one of my concerned constituents told me, failure to qualify again could negatively impact the economy with the loss of 🍻 sales and loss of interest in youth ⚽️. So give 'em hell! #IBelieve https://t.co/v4kwAYVF2W — PolitiTweet.org

I know how hard Montana's women work to produce the food that feeds the world—I've seen it firsthand on our own family farm. Throughout this country, women play a critical role in production agriculture. That's why I'm joining my colleagues in designating today as #WomenInAgDay. https://t.co/TtwyvwfVtW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Good news for vets: The Senate passed my bill to provide more veterans access to high-quality breast cancer screening and care—no matter where they live. Getting vets the tools they need to fight breast cancer saves lives, and I urge my House colleagues to act without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Had a good meeting with TRIO representatives from @montana_tech and @umontana. These programs are critically important for helping students finish their degrees, which is why I'll keep leading the fight in the Senate to get them the additional resources they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

I'm happy when one Montana school is in Washington, so you can guess how thrilled I was this morning to see five here with @CloseUp_DC! Great chatting with students from Broadwater, Twin Bridges, Terry, Shields Valley, and Roundup high schools—it's the best part of my job. https://t.co/IMuQd4Kr1o — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Today marks 12 years since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. To this day, tens of thousands of Montanans have health coverage because of it. I was proud to vote for the ACA then, and I'm proud that we made coverage even more affordable with the American Rescue Plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Way to go, @malmstromafb! Thanks to the top-notch performance of the 12th Missile Squadron, Montana's 341st Missile Wing has won their 7th Omaha Trophy. #MontanaProud https://t.co/vJaYeiUtK6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

If we can get these bills across the finish line, it'll make a big difference for folks in production ag. Family farm agriculture is vital to our nation's food security, and I'll never stop fighting to defend our great tradition. From one farmer to another, happy #NationalAgDay! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Farmers will save time and money when we pass my long overdue Agriculture Right to Repair Act. This bill will force big equipment manufacturers to make software and tools available on reasonable terms so farmers can fix their own equipment—just as they've always done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

We've been fighting for years to cut red tape and expand access to interstate markets for Montana ranchers, and yesterday, we made a lot of progress. We need to provide certainty for producers across the country and pass my New Markets for State-Inspected Meat and Poultry Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Everyone west of the Mississippi knows that Montana beef is a cut above the rest. It's critical for Montana families to know exactly what they're buying at the supermarket, and my bipartisan American Beef Labeling Act will ensure ONLY American beef is marked "Product of USA." — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

We've got to keep small operations strong, and fair and transparent prices are essential to that. With my bipartisan spot pricing bill, we'll establish regional mandatory minimum thresholds for negotiated cash and grid cattle trades to ensure producers can meet their bottom line. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

For years, anti-competitive practices in the meatpacking industry have been running family ranchers out of business. It's time we crack down and put real teeth in the Packers and Stockyards Act—my bipartisan Meat Packing Special Investigator Act will do just that. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

A whole lot of people in Congress claim to understand what folks in production ag need—but a lot fewer of them actually do. I'm fighting to pass commonsense bills to address consolidation in the industry and get our family farmers and ranchers a fair shake. 🧵 #NationalAgDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

It's always a good day when I can spend some time catching up with Montanans visiting Washington. Great chatting with Cody from Butte, Susie from Missoula, and Allen from Helena. https://t.co/wcRx47Vcwb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

The dedication and grit of producers in the Treasure State is second to none. They make me proud to celebrate National Ag Day. I wrote about what family farm agriculture means to the Montana way of life, and some steps we've got to take to preserve it. https://t.co/kwhPyd38mR — PolitiTweet.org

This morning, I had the great honor of introducing Erik Raven to the Armed Services Committee. As Defense Chairman, I've come to know Erik as a dedicated, whip-smart, and exceptionally qualified professional. Erik will serve honorably and well as Undersecretary for the Navy. https://t.co/pXsDmagaMz — PolitiTweet.org
