Sen. John Thune
Sept. 28, 2021
Tweet - "The disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal was a catastrophic failure by the Biden administration. There is no excuse for abruptly abandoning American citizens and Afghan allies, leaving them in the hands of the Taliban."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 28, 2021
Tweet - "Republicans will not be complicit in the absolutely reckless taxing & spending Democrats are proposing -- Dems will have to raise the debt ceiling on their own. They've known that since July. They have the means to do it, & they have the time to do it."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 28, 2021
Tweet - "The Afghanistan crisis is a tragic failure of leadership. This admin abandoned Americans & our allies, created a potential safe haven for terrorism, & left advanced weapons & technology in enemy hands. Americans deserve answers."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 28, 2021
Tweet - ".@SpeakerPelosi is right about one thing: Democrats' reckless tax-and-spending spree is about more than the absurd price tag -- it is "about values." Dems want government intimately involved in nearly every aspect of your life. @SenateGOP want limited government & more freedom."
Sen. John Thune

Letter to Sen. Charles E. Schumer, Senate Majority Leader - Thune, Crapo, Toomey Lead Colleagues in Urging Democrats to Abandon Proposal that Would Compromise Law-Abiding Americans' Financial Information
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 27, 2021
Tweet - "There is a crisis at our southern border, and the president has still not visited to see it with his own eyes -- or made any substantive changes to stop the stream of migrants coming to our border. Enough is enough. The administration must act."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 24, 2021
Tweet - "If Democrats want to do the taxing and Democrats want to do the reckless spending, then Democrats should do the borrowing."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2021

Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2021
Tweet - "Transparency in beef labeling benefits both our producers and consumers & it is just common sense. Thanks to @SenatorTester, @SenatorRounds, & @SenBooker for joining me in this fight."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2021
Tweet - "Biofuels are a win for consumers & the environment. If these reports are true, the Biden admin should reverse course. Instead of prioritizing electric cars for wealthy elites, they should support an industry powered by hardworking farmers in rural America."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2021
Tweet - "It's obvious that Dems believe Washington elites know what's best for everyone -- even South Dakotans. They're pushing for a federal takeover of states' authority -- telling them how to hold elections -- and forcing their liberal views on abortion laws and immunization requirements."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2021
Cloture Motion
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2021
Tweet - "The current beef labeling system in this country allows imported beef that is neither born nor raised in the U.S., but simply finished here, to be labeled as a product of the U.S.A. This process is unfair to cattle producers and misleading for consumers."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2021
Cloture Motion
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021
Tweet - "The United Kingdom is one of our closest allies and a key partner in everything from national security to trade, especially as it relates to S.D. agriculture. Good to sit down with @BorisJohnson to discuss the many global challenges that the U.S. and U.K. are facing together."

Vote on Batchelder Nomination
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021
Tweet - "Democrats seem to have forgotten that the states created the federal government, not the other way around. South Dakotans don't want Washington elites -- who may have never stepped foot in our state -- to be writing our election laws. Plain and simple."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021
Tweet - "Shocking reality of Democrats' reckless tax-&-spending spree: Their proposed corporate tax rate would be higher than communist China. That's certainly not going to help the United States be competitive on a global stage. It would be a huge disadvantage for American businesses."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021
Rounds, Smith Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Promote Tribal Self-Governance for Federal Food Assistance Programs
Sen. Mike Rounds
Sept. 22, 2021
Tweet - "Inflation is near a 13-year high, Americans are worrying about if their paychecks can stretch to cover the higher prices they're facing, and Democrats want to spend $3.5 trillion more Dumping that much money into the economy is pretty much guaranteed to fuel higher inflation."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2021
Tweet - "The entire federal budget was less than $4.5 trillion in 2019. Democrats want to spend $3.5T on one bill. This reckless spending isn't meant to address the crises piling up under Pres. Biden's watch. It's the express lane to socialism liberals have been dreaming of for years."
