Date Title
10/26/2021 Tweet - "Democrats are trying to figure out how to pay for their $3.5 trillion tax & spending bill. There are more pages in this bill than there are billionaires in the U.S. Everybody will end up paying for it through higher taxes, higher debt and the most punishing tax of all, inflation."
10/26/2021 Tweet - "The American people have seen through President Biden's big lie. If the cost of the $3.5 trillion tax and spending spree is zero @POTUS , why are you having such a hard time getting people to vote for it?"
10/13/2021 Tweet - "Inflation is at a 13 year high. Prices keep rising faster than wages. @POTUS has given families in Wyoming a pay cut. Now Democrats want to add another $3.5 trillion to the credit card? Madness."
10/06/2021 Tweet - "Gas prices are the highest they've been in seven years. Now, @POTUS & the Democrats want to accelerate inflation by spending trillions more AND crush American production of oil and gas. #Bidenflation"
10/05/2021 Tweet - "People are feeling the pain of this administration and inflation. Everybody is paying higher prices today for gas and groceries compared to the day Joe Biden came into office. Inflation will only get worse if the Democrats pass this reckless tax and spending bill."
12/21/2020 Tweet - "In Wyoming, our highways are essential to our success. The bill to fund the government will give the Wyoming Department of Transportation additional funds to complete important road and bridge projects across the state."
12/11/2020 Tweet - "Today, we passed the 60th annual National Defense Authorization Act. #NDAA keeps America safe by giving troops a well-deserved raise, providing them with cutting-edge technology, & funding important defense projects at F. E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, WY."
08/24/2020 Tweet - ".@JerryMoran, 10 other senators & I wrote @Senatemajldr & @GOPLeader urging for more #COVID19 resources for tribal governments in the next #coronavirus package. https://bit.ly/3gqWZ78"
08/14/2020 Tweet - "Democrats don't want a deal. That's why they continue to throw up roadblocks that keep us from moving forward with a #coronavirus relief bill that the American people want. We need to focus on tackling this disease, getting people back to work and our kids back to school safely."
07/28/2020 Tweet - "#HEALSAct simplifies the #PPP loan forgiveness process, but we can do more to provide relief & certainty for American small businesses. We should pass @SenKevinCramer's bipartisan Paycheck Protection Small Business Forgiveness Act. #savesmallbusiness"
07/21/2020 Tweet - "We're looking at $1 tril. dollars in new #coronavirus legislation, but we're going to spend this responsibly, unlike @SpeakerPelosi's & @SenSchumer's plans. We need to focus on the disease & helping the economy recover."
07/01/2020 Tweet - "Yesterday, I spoke with leaders of the Northern Arapaho tribe in WY. There was a delay in getting all #coronavirus relief funds to tribes, but they've received their funds now. #Coronavirus has disproportionately impacted the tribes, so it's important to see what more we can do."
05/26/2020 Tweet - "Blue states continue to ask for bailouts from the federal government. This is due to mismanagement of money over decades. Any other #coronavirus bill should give states more flexibility in spending with the money they have already been given, but not provide unfair bailouts."
05/22/2020 Tweet - "Joined @RepLizCheney & @SenatorEnzi in sending a letter today to @SBAGov & @USTreasury pushing for a new, less burdensome process for small businesses seeking #PaycheckProtectionProgram loan forgiveness. #PPP"
05/18/2020 Tweet - "Americans need a life preserver, but @SpeakerPelosi has thrown them an anvil. Her #coronavirus proposal is pricey, partisan & doesn't help those impacted by Covid-19. This bill is a socialist Democrat dream, & a nightmare for Americans."
05/13/2020 Tweet - "We need to reopen our communities & reopen the economy through targeted, temporary relief that focuses on the impact of #coronavirus. @SpeakerPelosi's bloated & partisan $3 trillion dollar plan is a payout to her liberal constituencies, not a solution to our current crisis."
04/15/2020 Tweet - "The #PaycheckProtectionProgram is helping workers across Wyoming. Thanks to #PPP, more than 5,700 small businesses in Wyoming have been approved for $706 million worth of loans."
04/09/2020 Tweet - "Health care & patient support is a central part of the #CARESAct. It will provide more than $140 bil. in health care system support & $100 bil. directly to hospitals. This includes money for masks, testing supplies & more training."
03/25/2020 Tweet - "The #CARESAct is the largest health care and economic rescue package in the history of our country. It is a rescue operation for the American people. http://bit.ly/CARESAct2020"
01/01/2020 Tweet - "We need another #coronavirus bill, & it needs to help get people back to work, get kids back to school, save lives, & provide liability protection. But the Democrats' plan is just @SpeakerPelosi's handout heaven. We can't continue to pay people more to sit at home."
12/16/2018 Tweet - "Discussed the recent federal court ruling on Obamacare, border security & funding the government with @margbrennan this morning on @CBSNews @FaceTheNation."
01/23/2018 Tweet - "Tonight @SenSanders will host a conversation about #MedicareForAll. @SenSanders if #MedicareForAll is implemented, how many people will lose their current coverage? Answer: EVERYONE with private coverage."
01/22/2018 Tweet - "We also extended the Children's Health Insurance Program for 6 years. As a doctor, I know how valuable this program is for more than 7,000 children in Wyoming."
01/22/2018 Tweet - "Now we can get back to focusing on properly funding our military, spending caps and finding a solution for immigration. http://bit.ly/2DxKXKJ "
01/22/2018 Tweet - "Senate Democrats finally realized that their pointless shutdown failed to do anything but inflict unnecessary pain on Americans. Voting to reopen the government was the right thing to do. http://bit.ly/2DxKXKJ "
