An @NDSU economist concluded that w/o the #tradewar w/ China, soybean prices would be near $13 instead of the current $7/bushel. It took ND soybean farmers decades to build relationships & market their product in China, but the trade war threatens to derail that in just 1 season. https://t.co/g2mnWZAo6p

Escalating the trade war w/ China is the last thing our farmers need as they look forward to harvest season.

From 1993-2011, Devils Lake rose more than 30ft, underscoring the urgent need to maintain the levee protecting the city & nearby residents. The funding I secured for Devils Lake will make sure the federal gov provides resources to maintain the embankment & keep families safe. https://t.co/N2bWK749Tg

Today, the president officially nominated Admiral Harry Harris, current Commander of @PacificCommand,to serve as U.S Ambassador to South Korea. I’ve long pushed for this position to be filled & for Admiral Harris to be our nation's top voice in Seoul.

In the U.S. Senate, we’re on the cusp of forcing a vote to protect net neutrality—we just need #OneMoreVote to pass our resolution. This isn’t about politics, it’s about protecting consumers & small business, especially in rural areas. #RestoreNetNeut
