Oct. 28, 2020 Tweet - "My question: Are Silicon Valley CEOs the legitimate referees of what kind of political speech gets amplified or suppressed? Zuckerberg: I certainly think not, I do not want us to have that role @Jack : No To underscore: tech companies are not the referees over our democracy." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 28, 2020 Tweet - "Just look at big tech's public statements, geographic concentration, & employee political donations (normally 80-90% Dem), and it's clear why there's mistrust among Republican users. It's baffling how tech CEOs don't see this absence of ideological diversity as problematic." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 28, 2020 Tweet - "Due to big tech's secrecy around content moderation practices, it's impossible to know for sure if political bias exists, but recent examples of content suppression certainly seem to suggest that it does.

Oct. 28, 2020 Tweet - "I asked Mr. Zuckerberg & Mr. Dorsey to provide a complete list of the newspaper articles their companies have suppressed or limited the distribution of over the past five years + an explanation of why they suppressed each article.

Oct. 26, 2020 Tweet - "Democrats' attempted delay antics over the last seven-plus days were absurd.

Pure theatrics." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 26, 2020 Tweet - "One of the main reasons many Republicans ran for the Senate was to be in a position to restore the Supreme Court to its original constitutional purpose as a judicial body, not a legislative one.

Oct. 26, 2020 Tweet - "Democrats spent this weekend trying to delay the #SCOTUS vote --unsuccessfully, I might add, and with no dispute over Judge Amy Coney Barrett's obvious qualifications. The Senate will perform its constitutional duty today & Democrats can't stop that." Sen. John Thune

Oct. 24, 2020 Tweet - "Since Judge Barrett's qualifications are beyond reproach, many on the left have instead turned to distortions & distractions. Americans won't be fooled & have seen through these tactics. It's no surprise that a majority of Americans support her confirmation." Sen. John Thune

Oct. 21, 2020 Coronavirus Sen. John Thune
Oct. 21, 2020 Tweet - "Hard to believe that Senate Democrats just voted AGAIN to block COVID relief.

Oct. 20, 2020 Tweet - "Why haven't we passed more COVID relief? Let's boil this down, because it's pretty simple. Dems are sabotaging negotiations & holding relief hostage over blue-state bailouts. Pelosi's all-or-nothing negotiating tactics can't work, & sadly, it's Americans who'll pay the price." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 20, 2020 Tweet - "Democrats have presented two options at the negotiating table: $2.4 trillion in government spending or zero-point-zero dollars in relief. If you refuse to look for a middle ground, you aren't negotiating. I hope Democrats think of their constituents and change course." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 20, 2020 Tweet - "Do Democrats truly want to provide relief to the American people, or do they just want to keep this as a political issue? It's becoming more clear, because we've been trying to negotiate, while Dems are showing they'd rather pass no relief than compromise w/ Republicans." Sen. John Thune

Oct. 15, 2020 Tweet - "Americans deserve to know what content moderation policies are used by tech platforms when they suppress or amplify content. The New York Post story is a good example. Transparency in these decisions is a matter of accountability to the American people." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 15, 2020 Thune Joins Fox News's Neil Cavuto to Discuss Social Media Censorship Sen. John Thune
Oct. 14, 2020 Tweet - "Republicans have tried for months to pass targeted support for Americans affected by COVID.

Oct. 14, 2020 Tweet - "Had a great discussion at @USD 's panel on the business implications of COVID-19 & the challenges/opportunities it could present for South Dakota.
