Senate (Republicians)
; Great event with South Dakota Right to Life — thanks for having me!
Arrived in #EvergladesCity #Florida just minutes after the power was restored.
It’s often forgotten after major storms like #HurricaneIan but this is a tight knit community of proud and resilient people
Tourism on the Mississippi Gulf Coast is booming. The @MS_aquarium in @CityofGulfport has well-exceeded expectations, welcoming over 500,000 visitors since opening in 2020.

Joe Biden said it himself — COVID is over.
Yet, he is still firing our brave men and women who serve our nation, like Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer Zach Loesch.
Zach kicked through a wall to save an elderly couple trapped due to Hurricane Ian.
#Ian was a devastating storm for our state, but when tough times hit, Floridians come together.
Thank you to all of the sheriffs, first responders and great teams across our state who are working non-stop. We will rebuild and recover.
It was an honor to attend the 1/112th Aviation Activation Ceremony in Rapid City. Thank you to all the men and women who have answered the call to serve.
In addition to inflation remaining at a near 40-year high, @BEA_News confirmed in its latest estimate this week that the economy contracted in Q2. In addition, wages are not keeping up with prices and as a result the American people are hurting.
More than 2 million people illegally entered the US at our southern border in FY22. Illegal crossings are out of control & only getting worse. Border security is national security & the Biden admin. needs to enforce our immigration laws & secure the border.https://www.axios.com/2022/09/20/migrants-custody-border-surge
Folks, we have a real problem if the IRS staff who enforce the tax law are not paying their own taxes and cannot even understand how to properly fill out their own tax forms. https://www.indianola-ia.com/opinion/joni-ernst-democrats-misplaced-priorities-are-creating-problems-for-the-rest-of-america/article_e80a3842-3c21-11ed-8c43-f7c6af9a464a.htm
This morning went to @CollierEM for an update on impact of #HurricaneIan and to thank the men and women working around the clock on recovery efforts

On October 2nd, 1835 – The first battle of the Texas Revolution began near Gonzales.
Every day in the Senate, I wear my boots which are emblazoned with the Gonzales Battle Flag – as a reminder to stand up and fight for the 30 million Texans that I proudly represent.
They are not seeking asylum!
NEW: Per CBP source, fiscal year 2022 ended with at least 599,000 known “gotaways” at the border, a significant increase from FY’21 when DHS reported 390,000 gotaways.
Since the beginning of FY’21, there have now been almost 1 million known gotaways at the border. @FoxNews
Out of the 108,000 drug overdose deaths in the US last year, 71,000 were synthetic opioids like fentanyl. Virtually all of it comes across our Southern border thanks to President Biden’s open borders policies, aided and abetted by the current Democratic majorities.

I was glad to discuss Meridian’s infrastructure needs with Mayor Jimmie Smith. They have many important projects in progress, and I look forward to seeing them move forward.
Collier County got hit hard by Hurricane #Ian, but like folks across our state, they're resilient.
It was a privilege to thank the men and women at @CollierEM who are working tirelessly to keep everyone safe.

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” — Ephesians 6:10-11
🚨 TUNE IN: I'll be on @MeetThePress, @CNNSotu and @FaceTheNation sharing an update on the damage from Hurricane #Ian and how Floridians are working together to rebuild and recover.
