🚨👏@VP is cutting off fraudsters and protecting $1.3 billion in Medicaid funds from fraud-filled California hospices.  Every single tax dollar needs to be spent responsibly and I’m thankful the Trump admin is taking swift action.
Iowans deserve timely and efficient mail service and it’s unacceptable that residents of Urbandale have been forced to deal with delayed and misdirected mail for years because they haven’t been given their own ZIP code. My new bipartisan bill that would end confusing mail delays and delivery issues. https://t.co/K6yE3YgaX6
For years, I’ve sounded the alarm about dangerous virus research, animal lab accidents, and a lack of transparency at Dr. Fauci's Rocky Mountain Laboratory in Montana. Now, @whitecoatwaste is alleging a troubling cover-up of a monkey bite and international virus smuggling.  We need to stop any funding of batty research before it causes another pandemic. https://t.co/7m6DRlWs0e

This National Police Week, I was thrilled to meet with Iowans from the Red Oak Police Department, Iowa State Police Association, and Iowa Firefighters Association to thank them for their service and sacrifice. https://t.co/OhW5aOxBnT
It’s beyond time to give Americans more consumer choice and lower gas prices with year-round E15! In Iowa, President Trump told Congress to deliver a bill to his desk. Let’s get it done!
RT @OffThePress1: 🚨WATCH: @SenJoniErnst questions delays in answers on the COVID-19 "cover-up." "If they aren't our screw-ups here in the…
