Politician
Sept. 25, 2020
Tweet - "Good to chat w/ @CraigMattick & reminisce about my dad's life as an athlete, WWII fighter pilot, teacher, & coach. It brought back memories of my dad's stories -- from playing basketball at Madison Square Garden to pick-up games on USS Intrepid. Interview "
Sen. John Thune

What They're Saying: Conaway Leads Introduction of Digital Commodity Legislation
Rep. Dusty Johnson, ...
Sept. 24, 2020
Extending the Undertaking Spam, Spyware, and Fraud Enforcement with Enforcers Beyond Borders Act of 2006
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 24, 2020
Tweet - "Polarization in our country is at an all-time high. Tech platforms (Google/Facebook/etc) filter online content so Americans see info that echoes & reinforces their own opinions. The result is that many can't even fathom that reasonable people may have a different point of view."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 24, 2020
Tweet - "Visitors might escape to SD's Black Hills to unplug from tech. But if an emergency occurs, reliable communications -- even in these beautiful, remote places -- is a top priority. Congress created FirstNet to improve communications services for our country's emergency personnel."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 24, 2020
Tweet - "Exactly. The peaceful transition of power is a fundamental principle of our democracy. Republicans believe in the rule of law, & we believe in the Constitution. The Constitution is very clear about what happens after the election."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 24, 2020
Hearing of the Communications, Technology, Innovation, and the Internet Subcommittee of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee - Opening Statement of Sen. Thune, Hearing on Public Safety Broadband Network, Including Testimony From South Dakota Law Enforcement Officer
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2020
Tweet - "During New York's toughest moments of #COVID19, medical professionals from around the country stepped in to help. Instead of gratitude, Gov. Cuomo demanded these workers pay NY's (famously high) income tax while there."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2020
Agriculture
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2020
Tweet - "If you believe in democracy, you believe all Americans -- not just those you agree with -- have a right to a voice in govt. You can dislike when your party isn't in charge. But, you can't suggest (w/o undermining our system) that govt is only legitimate if your party is in power."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2020
Supreme Court Nominations
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2020
Tweet - "When Republicans saw Dems had left key ag funding out of the CR, we demanded it be fixed. It's been a hard year for farmers/ranchers: low commodity prices, bad weather, difficulties w/ markets, and -- of course -- #COVID. Very glad we were able to get this funding back in the bill."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2020
Tweet - "You can be upset when things don't go your way, but you still have to show up and do your job. Millions of Americans across the country know this. I wish the minority leader would follow their example."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2020
Climate Change
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2020
Tweet - "Very mature. America is battling a global pandemic and mourning the loss of a Supreme Court justice, but Chuck Schumer is determined to prevent committees from meeting on important topics like election security. #TemperTantrum"
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 23, 2020
Tweet - "Interesting that the minority leader conveniently left out what he was objecting to A Senate hearing on election security that then had to be canceled."
Sen. John Thune

100th Anniversary of the Disabled American Veterans
Sen. Mike Rounds
Sept. 22, 2020
Cloture Motion
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Unbelievable. The Senate Intelligence Committee was supposed to have a hearing on election security today. The Democratic leader objected & blocked the meeting from happening. Mark "election security" down as the first target of Democrats' SCOTUS retribution."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Had a quick cameo in @SocialDilemma_ at our hearing on persuasive tech. Tech platforms treating people as products & sowing polarization has been a concern of mine. @TristanHarris 's testimony was shocking. Since then, I've intro'd multiple bills on online privacy & transparency."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2020
Tweet - "When Dems say "nothing is off the table" if they regain the majority, they mean: -Scrapping protections for the Senate minority put in place by founders -Increasing number of SCOTUS justices (to pack it w/ liberal judges) -Making DC & PR states (in hopes of 2 Dem senators each)"
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Some Democrats have gone as far as to say that "nothing is off the table" when it comes to retribution for having a Senate vote on the president's nominee -- a grade school-style threat with constitutional consequences."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 21, 2020
Johnson Tribal School Bill Passes the House
Rep. Dusty Johnson
Sept. 21, 2020
Cloture Motion
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 21, 2020
Tweet - "Many GOP senators -- myself included -- decided to run for office for this very reason: to be in a position to restore the court to its original constitutional purpose as a judicial body, not a legislative one. We ran for this. We were elected for this. Now, we will follow through."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 21, 2020
Tweet - "Despite the Dem-led misinformation campaign, filling this SCOTUS seat follows historical Senate norms. There is a different precedent if you have a divided government (2016) vs. having the same party in control in the WH & Senate (now). In fact, Joe Biden made the distinction."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 21, 2020
Tweet - "Speaker Pelosi has withheld vital CCC funding from the House govt funding bill -- reneging on the previous bipartisan agreement. This $ would go toward helping American farmers hit hard by the pandemic, feeding children who normally rely on school lunches, & other vital areas."
Sen. John Thune

Tweet - "My full statement on the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg below Downwards arrow. We didn't always agree, but RBG was a true patriot who loved this country and dedicated her life to serving the American people and the law."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 18, 2020
Tweet - "I couldn't agree more. @DepSecSteve is an old friend and colleague of mine and one of the best advocates for the American ag community. We spoke just this morning about providing additional relief funding to farmers & ranchers impacted by #COVID19. I thank him for his service."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 18, 2020

Sen. John Thune
Sept. 18, 2020

Sen. John Thune
Sept. 18, 2020
Tweet - "All of the brave men & women who serve our country deserve our fullest gratitude and respect. Extremely thankful for 73 years of incredible flying by @usairforce . SD is proud to be home to Ellsworth AFB and Joe Foss Field, with exciting missions on the horizon. #USAF73 #AFBday"
