Dec. 4, 2019
Tweet - "Our #bipartisan #TRACEDAct passed the House & is one step closer to becoming law. I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't hate annoying robocalls that spam your phone at all hours of the day. Our bill helps to tackle these illegal calls. Look forward to consideration in the Senate."
Sen. John Thune
Dec. 4, 2019
Tweet - "It's been over a year since #USMCA was signed. A year of lost opportunity for our farmers & ranchers. A year of waiting for the 176K jobs that can be created. A year of Democrats dragging their feet. A year is too long, let's get this done."
Sen. John Thune
Dec. 4, 2019
Tweet - "#Japan just passed our U.S.-Japan trade deal -- great news for our farmers & ranchers. There is much more we still have to do to help expand markets for #AmericanGoods (#USMCA), but this is a good step for South Dakota producers."

Sen. Mike Rounds
Nov. 26, 2019
Tweet - "As Americans pause to reflect on the blessings we enjoy, our liberties are sharply contrasted by China's strict censorship that blocks and twists the #HongKong discussion & #Iran's tactic of shutting off the internet and its brutal response to protests."

Sen. John Thune
Nov. 22, 2019
Tweet - "#HongKong isn't the only example of human rights abuses by China, and I imagine Beijing is fearful of attention turning to other abuses, such as the estimated 1.5 million Muslims in forced detention in one of China's western provinces."
Sen. John Thune
Nov. 22, 2019
Tweet - "Our farmers & ranchers, who wake up every morning and *do their job* to help feed the world, deserve far better than the empty promises, unending delays, and excuses coming from House Dems. They need #USMCAnow."

Nov. 21, 2019

Sen. John Thune
Nov. 19, 2019

Tweet - "Sat down with folks from @NSSGA today. We had a good discussion about the importance of U.S. infrastructure. This is an issue that's important to me & all South Dakotans. Our highways connect our communities and carry our South Dakota-made products across the country."
