Had a great conversation with service members & other rising leaders who are taking a U.S. government class at @NWC_NDU. They had insightful questions, & we discussed everything from cybersecurity and modern threats to how social media algorithms influence the national dialogue. https://t.co/hTvsCIORbC — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenatorLankford: Democrats are once again helping the most pro-abortion President ever to force American taxpayers to pay for abortions… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Deciding what’s considered on the Senate floor is about priorities, and our men & women in uniform don’t seem to be very high on Dems’ list. There is absolutely no reason for the Senate to continue spinning its wheels while the annual defense bill languishes. Let’s get to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Republicans made it more attractive to do business in the U.S. and our economy skyrocketed. Democrats’ plan to raise taxes on American job creators and double the size of the IRS will do the exact opposite. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

First, with relaxed border policies, President Biden sent the message that our southern border was open for all who wanted to enter. Now, he is signaling that crossing the border could mean a taxpayer-funded payout for families. Instead of solving crises, Biden just creates more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Kimberley & I are heartbroken to hear of former First Lady Jean Rounds’ passing. Jean was not only a pillar in her community, she was one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. We’re keeping Senator Rounds & the Rounds family in our prayers. May God's love comfort & bless them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Yes, President Biden is actually considering paying nearly $1 million settlements to migrant families who crossed into the U.S. illegally. This is insulting to every hard-working taxpayer & would only encourage more people to make the dangerous journey to our southern border. https://t.co/JydoCiFq0G — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

$450,000 is more than SIX TIMES the median household income in our country. Add this to the list of absurd ideas coming out of the admin. President Biden might as well pay the cartels and traffickers directly. — PolitiTweet.org

To my favorite state in the union – Happy Birthday, South Dakota! — PolitiTweet.org

Appreciated the tour of @DakotaSupply in Sioux Falls. This growing company is employee-owned, which means that every employee has the opportunity to gain from the company’s success. I heard firsthand how supply chain issues and inflation are impacting SD businesses. https://t.co/Bs8T1TTQ8l — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

I was proud to honor Jason and Bridget Bennett and their family as this year’s recipients of the Angels in Adoption Award. Like so many other South Dakota families, they have generously opened their hearts and provided a loving home to a deserving child in need. https://t.co/0WBObwyQHY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Updated folks from the Black Hills Forest Resource Association on my meeting yesterday with @forestservice Chief Randy Moore. I’ll continue advocating for proper management of the Black Hills National Forest. https://t.co/r98amnNjy8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Many Americans had to delay or postpone routine checkups & important screenings during the pandemic, but early detection can save lives. In honor of #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, my Senate colleagues & I intro’d a bill encouraging folks to take advantage of preventive care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Met w/@forestservice Chief Randy Moore to press him on the importance of proactively managing the Black Hills National Forest to maintain forest health & support the local economy. We’ll keep pressing on this issue. I appreciate @JohnBoozman & @SenJohnBarrasso joining the effort. — PolitiTweet.org

It has been 4,758 days since President Biden *drove by* the southern border. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Great to catch up with Carissa Hauck from Watertown. Before attending @WestPoint_USMA & serving in the @USarmy, I remember her being a fierce competitor for my daughter in high school sports. Good to see her doing great things and staying committed to living a life with purpose. https://t.co/usEnDKd74A — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

I had a good meeting with SD tribal leaders & native veterans today. Our native communities have gone above and beyond the call to service and proudly defended our nation. https://t.co/KFkaTBs2tI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Asked @TikTok at @SenateCommerce about @WSJ article that described how its algorithm serves up inappropriate videos to minors. They couldn’t give me a direct answer. Parents deserve better from these social media companies. My bills would increase transparency & accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Everyday Americans don’t care about Glasgow, they care about gas prices. Everything is more expensive right now as people fill up their trucks, heat their homes, and cook their food. It would be a mistake to try and drag the United States into a new economy-killing climate deal. https://t.co/6xUr2LhMuR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

I find it remarkable that the president is flying to Glasgow, but says he doesn’t have time to visit our southern border. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

TikTok’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party via Bytedance, Tiktok’s Chinese owner, are concerning. https://t.co/xCb3EVXZLQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

I’m concerned about social media algorithms & how they can manipulate users’ experiences – especially for kids. I strongly believe my two bills, the #PACTact & #FilterBubbleTransparencyAct, can help. My colleagues & I are serious about addressing these issues. Let’s get to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

As energy prices rise, we’re again requesting a meeting with @POTUS to advocate for biofuels and their importance to America’s energy needs & clean energy goals. @ChuckGrassley @RoyBlunt @JerryMoran @SenatorFischer @SenatorRounds @SenJoniErnst @SenSasse @RogerMarshallMD https://t.co/Yt65AaxgXa — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see everyone out in full force to support @GoJacksSDSU at Hobo Day today – definitely one of the best days of fall. #BringTheBlue https://t.co/FJHL2t0U8j — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Democrats are so focused on trying to pass a reckless tax-and-spending spree that they are ignoring basic duties of governing and unfolding crises at the border, our ports, and around the world. https://t.co/v8H43mMIqN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Republicans are standing up for Americans’ privacy. Big gov’t shouldn’t be able to snoop through your bank activity. That’s what Dems are planning, but we’re fighting against this government overreach. — PolitiTweet.org
