Proud to be the top watchDOGE in the Senate. 🫡 It’s a bad time to be waste, fraud, or abuse in Washington! #MakeEmSqueal

From the California crazy train to the Fed’s “Taj Mahal on the National Mall,” there are billions in spending that need to be put on the chopping block. Fire up another rescissions package!
Joe Biden used your tax dollars to renovate pools around the world. I am stopping the splashy spending!
✅One step closer to getting Urbandale its own zip code after the House passed legislation to resolve boundary issues. I am proud to have led the fight to ensure the community has the timely and efficient mail service it deserves. washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/347…

Republican leadership has empowered small businesses to fuel the Great American comeback. With the One Big Beautiful Bill delivering the largest tax cut in history, the good times are just getting started on Main Street.
It’s been a tremendous six months for small businesses - capped off by the One Big Beautiful Bill. @POTUS is delivering a Main Street comeback.
The RAGBRAI route will be lined with American flags to honor veterans thanks to Tyler Schick and the Veteran Flagpole Initiative! 🇺🇸 kcci.com/article/vetera…
. @SenJoniErnst making more progress on DOD reforms in NDAA; targets "Other Transaction Agreements" - secret spending not always reported publicly. Let's get it into the House version, @MikeJohnson @HASCRepublicans & stop secret spending! @johnhart333 dailysignal.com/2025/07/11/ern…
Glad @HUDgov is moving out of this run-down mess but taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to continue to foot the bill for this fixer-upper. Auctioning off this prime piece of DC real estate would generate $132 million and save taxpayers $225 million in deferred maintenance.
The current HUD HQ is falling apart everywhere you turn. I witnessed this firsthand today. It’s not suitable for HUD staff or the people we serve. Moving day can’t come soon enough.
The California crazy train is coming to a squealing halt!🐷🚂
Another win for taxpayers. For years, I’ve been fighting to defund the California crazy train to nowhere and now the Trump admin is bringing it to a squealing halt. Time to defund more boondoggles! dailycaller.com/2025/07/18/exc…
Good luck to all the riders competing in RAGBRAI, one of Iowa's great traditions and a true test of endurance! kcci.com/article/ragbra…
China is working hard to steal our technology and the last thing we need to do is leave the backdoor unlocked for them. By implementing a thorough vetting process for all Pentagon contractors, we can ensure a safer, stronger, and more secure America.
🚨SCOOP: An amendment by @SenJoniErnst adopted into the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act would require the Department of Defense to vet U.S. defense contractors for Chinese intelligence-ties, according to a copy exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Biden’s multi-billion-dollar EV fleet for @USPS is lost in the mail and yet, they’ve postmarked over $1 billion for more orders. The rescissions package is a great start, but I am fighting to make DOGE a lifestyle in Washington and stamp out waste like this on a regular basis.

Bad news for pandemic fraudsters. @SenJoniErnst's bill to track down every COVID con artist and recoup stolen tax dollars has advanced out of @SmallBizCmteGOP. businessinsider.com/bill-targeting…
Americans wouldn’t leave their old credit cards sitting around, and there is no reason why taxpayer-funded credit cards should be treated any differently. I have ensured that when Pentagon bureaucrats leave, their credit cards are cut up.
Trump ally seeks to stop shocking Pentagon credit card fraud as BILLIONS spent at 'high-risk' nightclubs and casinos trib.al/Dphlzyj
The Biden State Department threw a blowout summer pool party around the world on your dime. Bureaucrats might think wasting millions is a drop in the bucket, but I am sick and tired of taxpayers getting tossed in the deep end by Washington. The splashy spending must stop!

What does the largest tax cut in American history mean for small businesses? The ability to invest in new equipment, hire new employees, and grow their businesses. A Big Beautiful deal for Main Street.
