Lots of talk about foreign interference in the election. Glad United States Cyber Command continues working hard to thwart these efforts like they did so well in 2018. Not a coincidence that there was no election interference then. https://t.co/8MwRVzNIi7 — PolitiTweet.org

I thank @SecElaineChao for approving a BUILD Grant to help reconstruct and widen a 70-year-old section of SD HWY 46 in southeastern South Dakota. This will help to keep it in safe working condition for years to come. https://t.co/ygsuB1KlRn — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, I visited with a group of Veteran Service Officers in Pierre who were in town for their annual conference. It was a great opportunity to thank them for all the work they do everyday for veterans across our state. https://t.co/AqAMoVytCj — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see @FHFA act on our letter regarding the Fannie/Freddie refinance fee. This tax should be eliminated but a delay is a good first step. https://t.co/PQePFuSoIy — PolitiTweet.org

📬Postmaster General DeJoy was not appointed by President Trump. He was unanimously appointed by the Board of Governors of the USPS. The Board of Governor is a bipartisan board confirmed by the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

🗳USPS can handle the increased volume. Due to the pandemic, the volume of first class mail has dropped significantly. The increased demand to vote by mail will not overload the USPS. If all registered voters cast ballots by mail, it would make up only 6% of normal weekly volume. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mike Rounds @SenatorRounds

💵USPS is not broke. It has $15 billion cash on hand right now. Additionally, the CARES Act authorized a $10 billion loan for USPS. In negotiations, we have considered changing this loan to a grant. If additional resources are needed for the post office, we stand ready to assist. — PolitiTweet.org

Rural transit plays an important role in the lives of many South Dakotans. Our legislation would allow certain transit operators to receive a higher federal share of operating assistance so they can continue to provide necessary services to residents. https://t.co/uQX8R0T2bQ — PolitiTweet.org

I’m pleased USDA has provided some flexibility by allowing them to hay, graze and chop their fields earlier in the season. I hope USDA will consider additional South Dakota counties for early haying and grazing. https://t.co/RKuupAm2q0 — PolitiTweet.org

Following our request, USDA announced today that farmers & ranchers in 19 SD counties who planted cover crops on prevented plant acres can begin haying, grazing or chopping those fields beginning on Sept. 1 instead of Nov. 1. — PolitiTweet.org
