Newly reelected Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) has Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in her sights, singling him out for her latest Squeal Award for blocking a proposal to make federal spending more transparent.

The monthly award “recognizes a Washington expense, program, or concept that has proven to be wasteful and must be cut,” according to Ernst’s website.
