Letter to Hon. Michael Khouri, Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission - Over 100 Members of the House Send Letter to Address Carriers Declining to Ship U.S. Agriculture Exports From U.S. Ports
Rep. Dusty Johnson, ...
March 10, 2021
Tweet - "To be clear, Dems didn't even try to make their $1.9 trillion bill bipartisan. @SenateGOP was more than willing to work w/ Dems -- as we have on *all* the other COVID bills (passed under a GOP majority). Now Dems have the reins & they aren't interested in bipartisanship."
Sen. John Thune
March 10, 2021
Tweet - "House just passed Dems' absurdly expensive "COVID relief" bill. Wait until Americans see what's really in the bill: -Blue-state bailouts -Checks to illegal immigrants & prisoners -Huge welfare state expansion -Post-pandemic spending + more goodies for special interest groups"
Sen. John Thune
March 10, 2021
Tweet - "The $1.9 trillion bill being billed by Dems as "COVID relief" is a bad bill. Sadly, it will likely become law -- without any meaningful input/support from Republicans or the millions of Americans we represent. @SenateGOP even tried to improve the bill. Some changes Dems rejected:"

Sen. John Thune
March 6, 2021
Tweet - "Senate Democrats just managed to pass their bloated spending bill disguised as "COVID relief.' This is the first COVID bill to be entirely partisan because it isn't designed to help end the pandemic -- it's a blatant attempt from Dems to jam through a partisan wish list."
Sen. John Thune
March 5, 2021
Tweet - "For weeks, I've been talking about how doubling the minimum wage could potentially hurt businesses, and the NY/DC press has attacked me for it every step of the way. Today, EIGHT DEMOCRATS voted against @SenSanders' proposal. Why? Because it's bad policy."
Sen. John Thune
March 4, 2021

Sen. John Thune
March 4, 2021

Sen. John Thune
March 3, 2021
Tweet - "Pres. Biden canceled #KeystoneXL on day 1, but seems fine with Russia's #NordStream2 pipeline. Congress & the law are clear on sanctions authority--it's time to act. Nord Stream 2 will make Europe more vulnerable to Russia's influence & will be an economic blow to Ukraine."

Rep. Dusty Johnson
March 3, 2021

Feb. 26, 2021
Tweet - "Once again, the NY/DC media shows how out of touch they are with the real world. It took 5 years for me to work my way up to cook. The point is there were jobs available. With a $15 min wage, for small-town businesses in the hard-hit travel industry, there won't be."
Sen. John Thune
Feb. 25, 2021

Sen. John Thune
Feb. 25, 2021
Tweet - "Today I pushed the @USTradeRep nominee to support mandatory country of origin labeling, expand market access, and enforce existing trade agreements. I will keep fighting for South Dakotans and a pro-growth trade policy that benefits American workers and businesses."

Tweet - "Less than 10% of the $1.9 trillion partisan "COVID relief" bill Democrats are pushing goes directly to combatting #COVID19. Yes, less than TEN percent. Makes you wonder where the other 90% of taxpayer dollars will be spent Can anybody say "liberal wish list"?"
Sen. John Thune
Feb. 24, 2021
Tweet - "I started working by bussing tables at the Star Family Restaurant for $1/hour & slowly moved up to cook -- the big leagues for a kid like me-- to earn $6/hour. Businesses in small towns survive on narrow margins. Mandating a $15 minimum wage would put many of them out of business."
