Sen. Mike Rounds, ...
May 19, 2020
Tweet - "It's disappointing that Democrats are more focused on their left-wing pet projects than addressing the #COVID19 pandemic and its consequences. But that will not stop the Republican-led Senate from moving forward with the business of the American people."
Sen. John Thune
May 19, 2020
Tweet - "The @SenateGOP has been busy in DC with: -Cmte oversight on #COVID19 -Key nominations -Critical national security bill +++ What have House Dems been doing? Show up for 24 hours, vote on a $3 trillion messaging bill, unilaterally change historic voting rules, & then leave town."
Sen. John Thune
May 19, 2020
Tweet - "I've been urging the @USDA to get this assistance out to our producers. During this crisis, many Americans have come face-to-face with the reality that food doesn't come from the grocery store shelf -- it comes from the tireless work of farmers & ranchers. #FarmersFeedTheWorld"

May 14, 2020

Tweet - "Was on the air with @hughhewitt this AM. We spoke about House Dems' massive new spending package that's really a grab bag of Dem agenda items disguised as #COVID19 relief. As was said, it mentions cannabis more times than it mentions jobs. Nobody is taking it seriously."
Sen. John Thune
May 14, 2020
Tweet - "Spoke with @hughhewitt about a viable #Phase4 #COVID19 relief bill. I told him that anything that passes the Senate has to be #bipartisan, but, sadly, it's hard to find any moderate Dem to sit down with because they're so held hostage to the House agenda."
Sen. John Thune
May 14, 2020
Tweet - "To all graduating seniors -- I want you to know I feel your pain and appreciate what you guys are having to go through. I know you won't have the graduation you imagined. As hard as this is, adversity will make you stronger. Since you may not have a graduation speaker this year "

May 12, 2020
Tweet - "House Dems' bill includes tons of non-#COVID19 items. I keep hearing this bill branded as "CARES 2." They're trying to tie it to GOP's bipartisan #CARESACT to disguise their bad policy. It's a stretch to even call this a Phase IV approach since it has no chance of becoming law."
Sen. John Thune
May 12, 2020
