That's a lot of governors! Awesome to watch granddaughter Andrina, her 5th grade teammates and two 6th grade teams scrimmage in Pierre this weekend after their games in Gettysburg were canceled due to weather. https://t.co/hIDpM9jH9q — PolitiTweet.org

The work is just beginning, and I remain committed to fighting for American ranchers and consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

While we acknowledge the magnitude of this ruling, there is still more work to be done. We need to address packer concentration and MCOOL in order to restore transparency and fairness to the cattle market. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

This announcement is a victory for American consumers and producers. The USDA’s ruling is a major step in the right direction, and I applaud Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack for taking the necessary actions to fix this label. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

Today, the USDA announced a new rule defining that the “Product of USA” or “Made in the USA” labels can only be applied to meat, poultry and egg products that are born, raised, slaughtered and processed in the USA. This rule closely mirrors my bill called the USA Beef Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

For years, we’ve called on the USDA to take action to stop foreign beef from receiving the ‘Product of USA’ label. I’ve met with Secretary Vilsack, introduced legislation since 2019 and submitted multiple comments to USDA. Today, our work is finally paying off. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

Only beef born, raised and processed in the United States should receive the “Product of USA” label. It’s time to protect consumers and producers. — PolitiTweet.org

The Pentagon has established a new policy that allows for the use of taxpayer dollars to help facilitate abortions for service members. I sent a letter to Secretary Austin with my @sascgop colleagues challenging this new decision. Full letter here: https://t.co/xnxyAdIPiD https://t.co/Ct5OfFZV8F — PolitiTweet.org

Met with members of the South Dakota @DAVHQ earlier this week to discuss legislation and policies impacting veterans. The DAV does important work on behalf of South Dakota's veterans living with disabilities. Always grateful for their service and insight. https://t.co/uHjq58gR3u — PolitiTweet.org

China and our other foreign adversaries should not own American farmland or ag businesses. @SenatorTester and I questioned witnesses about the threat this ownership would pose to our national security and the need for our bipartisan legislation, the PASS Act. ⬇️ https://t.co/5uVmlw36P1 — PolitiTweet.org

Met with members of the @SDBroadcasters in Washington this morning. I enjoyed our conversation about artificial intelligence and its impact on their work. Appreciate all they do to keep our communities connected. https://t.co/VcJ6Mq7SZq — PolitiTweet.org

My granddaughter Isabel Jean competed in a gymnastics tournament this weekend in Rapid City. She brought home some bling with 3rd place on beam, 1st on floor, vault, and bars and 1st place all around! 🥉🥇🥇🥇🏆 https://t.co/5ITVJSVlCg — PolitiTweet.org

Former Senator Jim Abourezk was a true public servant. He left his mark as Chair of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs advocating for tribes in South Dakota. Praying for Jim’s wife Sanaa and all of his family as they mourn his loss. https://t.co/lgrS9zCHXb — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, Jack and Mary, for your kind words. Access to treatment for South Dakotans living with Alzheimer’s is crucial. Hoping to see CMS reconsider this policy soon. — PolitiTweet.org

I introduced a bill with @SenatorTester to suspend Brazilian beef imports to the United States until experts can conduct a systemic review of the commodity’s impact on food safety and animal health: (2/2) https://t.co/Y5p97wMvim — PolitiTweet.org

South Dakota ranch families work tirelessly to produce the safest, highest quality and most affordable beef in the world. Producer’s livelihoods are being compromised by Brazilian beef imports that fail to meet our country’s food safety and animal health standards. (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

I feel you @SenJohnThune. I did my driveway last night at 11 PM (thought I was going to have to take my grandkids to school) and just finished doing it again. We use snowblowers west river, though! ❄️ — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we honor the presidents of our country. While none of them were perfect, they were all real people, and they helped to form our country. Our goal is still to create a more perfect Union. Happy Presidents Day! https://t.co/YutNYM7FHQ — PolitiTweet.org

President Carter has led a well-lived life, faithfully serving his country and setting a great example for all. Praying for peace and comfort for him, Rosalynn and all of their family in the coming weeks. — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s get our bipartisan bill the PASS Act signed into law, which blacklists China, Russia, Iran and North Korea from owning American farmland or ag businesses. More on the PASS Act: https://t.co/2BvSZtz09O — PolitiTweet.org

The Chinese Communist Party is not our friend. They should not own American farmland. This is a threat to our national security. — PolitiTweet.org

Met with members of the South Dakota State Medical Association in DC. Important conversation about our health care provider shortage and catching up in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic. Grateful for all they do to keep South Dakotans in good health. https://t.co/xvpIduifKb — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to Senator Cramer for picking up the tab on the bison brats and burgers. We provided the SDSU ice cream as part of our victory celebration! Same time next year @SenKevinCramer? #GoJacks https://t.co/ml0Qr4EZPR — PolitiTweet.org
