Joni Ernst, U.S. Senator from Iowa, posted a series of tweets on August 11, 2025, addressing issues ranging from government property management to agricultural achievements and border security.

In her first tweet at 16:40 UTC, Ernst stated, "I am getting rid of vacant and unused office space in Washington. Let’s keep up the momentum and pass my FOR SALE Act to put six prime D.C. properties on the auction block and save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars!" The FOR SALE Act is proposed legislation aimed at selling off federal properties that are no longer in use to reduce government expenses.

Later that day at 18:42 UTC, Ernst highlighted Iowa's leadership in egg production by sharing her participation in a local event: "It’s always an egg-cellent day handing out eggs on a stick with @IowaEggCouncil! Yesterday, we set a new single-day record with over 22,000 eggs handed out! Proud to be from the #1 egg producing state in the nation." Iowa has consistently ranked as the top egg-producing state in the United States.

At 19:54 UTC, Ernst commented on border security measures and recent actions regarding materials for the border wall: "After Biden sold our border wall materials for pennies on the dollar, I fought to pass my FINISH IT Act so we can use what’s already paid for. I’m glad to see the Trump administration get us back on track! Let’s finish the wall and continue to secure our border." The FINISH IT Act seeks to ensure that previously purchased materials for the southern border wall are used as intended rather than being sold or left unused.

Senator Joni Ernst has served as Iowa's junior senator since 2015 and is known for advocating fiscal responsibility and agricultural interests. Her legislative efforts often focus on reducing government waste and supporting Iowa's farming community.
