Tweet - "Fewer options & higher costs -- that's Democrats' idea for childcare reform. A liberal think tank estimated their plan would RAISE costs $13,000 per child. But, Dems have shown they aren't interested in facts or figures, they've set their sights on socialism & aren't looking back."
Sen. John Thune
Dec. 15, 2021
Tweet - "The Senate just passed #NDAA to fund our military. I was proud to vote yes in support of our troops and the many big wins for South Dakota, including B-21 construction at Ellsworth Air Force Base."

Sen. John Thune

Sen. John Thune
Dec. 8, 2021
Tweet - "Questioned the head of Instagram abt algorithm transparency for consumers. We know algorithms are meant to keep people on platforms longer, & a big part of that is pushing similar content over & over to keep users hooked -- creating bubbles of information & deepening polarization."
Sen. John Thune
Dec. 8, 2021
Tweet - "Washington bureaucrats have no business slapping heavy-handed mandates on private companies or infringing on Americans' freedoms & privacy. I encourage everyone to get vaccinated, but I DO NOT support Biden's vaccine mandates on American workers. My vote today will reflect that."
Sen. John Thune
Dec. 8, 2021

Dec. 7, 2021
Tweet - "The cowardly attack on Pearl Harbor led the U.S. into a war that would later define a generation of Americans. We'll never forget the lives lost or the brave Americans who raced to enemy shores to defend freedom. Tribute to Sen. Dole, Marcella LeBeau, & the Greatest Generation."
Sen. John Thune
Dec. 7, 2021
Tweet - "One of the most expensive parts of Biden's "Build Back Better" plan lowers taxes for wealthy Americans living/working in states with a high state income tax. South Dakotans shouldn't have to subsidize wealthy people who choose to live in states with high taxes like NY/CA."
Sen. John Thune
Dec. 7, 2021
