Senator Joni Ernst has been active on social media, sharing her recent legislative achievements. On July 2, 2025, she made several posts highlighting her efforts in the Senate to enact changes benefiting taxpayers, women, girls, and farm families.

In a tweet from July 2, 2025, Ernst announced that she had successfully fought through the night to save taxpayers $100 million by passing an amendment in the Senate. The amendment ends unemployment payments to millionaires. Ernst emphasized that this measure ensures that "small businesses and hardworking taxpayers will no longer be footing the bill for handouts to the idle rich." The full post can be viewed here.

Later that day, at 17:47 UTC, Ernst posted another tweet celebrating a victory for women and girls across America. While specific details of the win were not disclosed in this tweet, it reflects ongoing efforts by Senator Ernst to advocate for gender equality. More information is available here.

In a subsequent tweet at 21:11 UTC on the same day, Senator Ernst highlighted another achievement related to the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBBB). She shared that her provision within the act removes restrictions in the FAFSA process that previously disadvantaged farm families by potentially forcing them to sell their farms or small businesses to afford college education for their children. This change is particularly significant for Iowans and can be explored further here.
