I’m sad to hear about the passing of my friend, Senator Johnny Isakson. Johnny always said there are two kinds of people in the world: friends and future friends. It says everything you need to know about him. Kimberley and I are keeping his family in our prayers. — PolitiTweet.org

What a season for @GoJacksFB. You guys always give 100% — proud to be a fan. — PolitiTweet.org

And I’ve never seen one of your bobcats outrun Isaiah Davis … It’ll be a great game, that’s for sure. @GoJacksFB! — PolitiTweet.org

Just announced the Preventing Mandates on Toddlers Act to block the federal gov't from forcing toddlers in the Head Start program to wear masks, even on the playground. This is yet another example of a burdensome Biden admin mandate that is being forced onto American families. https://t.co/18zuK6IDkg — PolitiTweet.org

Fewer options & higher costs – that’s Democrats' idea for childcare reform. A liberal think tank estimated their plan would RAISE costs $13,000 per child. But, Dems have shown they aren’t interested in facts or figures, they’ve set their sights on socialism & aren't looking back. https://t.co/H4GLqjhVEg — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate just passed #NDAA to fund our military. I was proud to vote yes in support of our troops and the many big wins for South Dakota, including B-21 construction at Ellsworth Air Force Base. https://t.co/CZV46NNgLe — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to Justin and Megan Fraase from Aberdeen for stopping by my office today. It’s great to see South Dakotans who are in town enjoying the nation’s capital. https://t.co/KMfirM3xuI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

The last time inflation was this bad, E.T. was premiering in theaters. Rather than passing their $5 trillion down payment on socialism, Democrats should phone home and hear from their constituents about the rising cost of nearly everything in our economy. https://t.co/79PXcXVbpT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Great to catch up with Krystil Smit, executive director of @SDFarmBureau. We talked about everything from priorities for the next farm bill to ways to help ensure our cattle producers get a fair shake from meatpackers. https://t.co/FiDZVoG4HP — PolitiTweet.org

How could this be any clearer? The economy doesn’t need and can’t afford the massive and reckless tax-and-spending spree that Democrats are trying to ram through Congress this holiday season. Again, all it would take is one Senate Democrat to stop this bill in its tracks. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

I appreciate Sisseton-Wahpeton Tribal Chairman Hopkins and tribal council members taking the time to meet with me today. We had a good conversation about their infrastructure and law enforcement-related priorities. https://t.co/C359ARZASw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

President Biden made his attitude toward conventional energy production clear on day one when he canceled Keystone XL. Since then, his admin has tried to make it more expensive & more difficult to develop our abundant energy resources. No surprise that costs have risen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Every Senate Republican just stood up against President Biden’s overbearing vaccine mandate on American workers. The measure passed w/ bipartisan support, but President Biden is still expected to veto it & continue his heavy-handed, government-knows-best strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Right now, we’re facing a Biden-created border crisis, energy crisis, and inflation crisis. Our supply chains are broken, our businesses can’t find workers, & the cost of many goods is through the roof. Yet, this is what the president is doing today. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Questioned the head of Instagram abt algorithm transparency for consumers. We know algorithms are meant to keep people on platforms longer, & a big part of that is pushing similar content over & over to keep users hooked – creating bubbles of information & deepening polarization. — PolitiTweet.org

It may be easy for a wealthy Democrat politician to dismiss high inflation, but for families living paycheck to paycheck, the higher cost of groceries, heating, or gas can mean tough decisions – like choosing between heating the house or filling up the car to get to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Washington bureaucrats have no business slapping heavy-handed mandates on private companies or infringing on Americans’ freedoms & privacy. I encourage everyone to get vaccinated, but I DO NOT support Biden’s vaccine mandates on American workers. My vote today will reflect that. https://t.co/spJLxCQzgM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

The admin’s failed attempt to play both sides of this issue means another gut punch to the biofuel industry. Attempting to soften the blow of today’s announcement with a slight increase in future volumes & delayed congressional assistance for biofuels from @USDA falls very short. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

The relationship between the United States and Israel is deeply important. I was glad to speak with the new Israeli Ambassador Michael Herzog today about how we can continue to work together to protect the security of our nations and build greater stability in the Middle East. https://t.co/QSN6BYHLbW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

One of the most expensive parts of Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan lowers taxes for wealthy Americans living/working in states with a high state income tax. South Dakotans shouldn’t have to subsidize wealthy people who choose to live in states with high taxes like NY/CA. https://t.co/9UTuHdtiMW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

The cowardly attack on Pearl Harbor led the U.S. into a war that would later define a generation of Americans. We’ll never forget the lives lost or the brave Americans who raced to enemy shores to defend freedom. Tribute to Sen. Dole, Marcella LeBeau, & the Greatest Generation.👇🏻 https://t.co/W41nOvvmFo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Bob Dole was a distinguished statesman & WWII hero who truly lived a life of purpose in service to our country. America is a better place because of his many contributions. Kimberley and I are sending prayers to Elizabeth and his entire family. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday we laid Kimberley’s dad, Jim Weems, to rest. He lived an amazing life, filled with purpose and impact. He set a Godly example for those who come after him.

You know things are bad when you give a 15-minute speech touting a jobs report that CNBC called a “huge miss.” Just over 200K new jobs added last month (vs 573K expected). With crisis after crisis looming, Pres. Biden is grasping at straws. It’s delusional to claim this as a win. — PolitiTweet.org
