David was a great leader in every organization he was involved with. He gave countless hours to making his city and state a better place.  Kimberley and I mourn the passing of this good man. My prayers go out to his family. — PolitiTweet.org

One of my favorite places to catch up with South Dakotans is at a ball game ⚾️. Good luck to all those competing at the Legion Tourney this weekend. https://t.co/r46BXoqpns — PolitiTweet.org

Great day for baseball in Brandon. Had the honor of throwing out the first pitch at the Sioux Falls West vs Rapid City Post 22 game during the State A Legion Tournament. Don’t think I’ll be making my MLB debut anytime soon. https://t.co/0smfvzeQG0 — PolitiTweet.org

🚨Following my request, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing next week on potential manipulation in the beef market. South Dakota producers deserve answers, and this is an important development in our effort to hold the packing industry accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Great meeting with Chief Justice of the South Dakota Supreme Court, Steven Jensen, and his family this morning. https://t.co/BlFodj8A2E — PolitiTweet.org

Students from Big Stone, SD, brought a welcomed breeze with them to the Capitol. Great to meet all of them. https://t.co/MXeliQq7fi — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats plan to pass one of the largest tax hikes in history to fund their big-government fantasy. This reckless tax-and-spending spree would pour gasoline on the flames of inflation, and American families would pay the price – literally – with more taxes & higher prices. https://t.co/BvH3hnMGq9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Family-owned businesses, farms, & ranches shouldn’t pay the price for Dems’ wild spending spree. Every single Senate Republican joined me in urging President Biden to abandon plans to raise taxes on these hardworking Americans. Letter👇🏻 https://t.co/1MpDpfWt4q — PolitiTweet.org

Great to have such a big group of South Dakota ag leaders in the office today. Thanks to everyone from the @SDAgriBusiness for stopping by and advocating for our state’s top industry. https://t.co/fuQleok2Kq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Ridiculous that the president is advocating for a foreign pipeline that will help Russian interests (& hurt Ukraine) when he cut the U.S. Keystone XL pipeline, slashing American jobs and threatening our energy independence/security. No wonder they want to keep this “quiet.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Ethanol reduces GHG emissions 46%, and the pathway to >70% is being held up by gov’t red tape. Farmers & the RFS are energy solutions and play a key role in carbon reduction. Calls to cancel biofuels are misinformed. My colleagues and @EPA would be well served to use modern data. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Chatted with students, parents, and teachers visiting the Capitol from Hitchcock-Tulare and Kimball schools. Katie challenged me to beat her undefeated record at rock, paper, scissors. It was quite the nail-biter. https://t.co/1DOzItChjP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

We’re six months into Biden's presidency & his border policies have created an undeniable crisis at the southern border. Last month, there was a 20-year high in attempted border crossings. It’s reckless to continue to ignore this humanitarian crisis & national security threat. https://t.co/m0K42iMbhG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

School is a place for our children to learn, not to be indoctrinated with a certain set of beliefs under the guise of civics education. I’m happy @USEDgov abandoned plans to have schools teach a specific “woke” agenda. American schools are no place for thought police. — PolitiTweet.org

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 🇺🇸 — PolitiTweet.org

From the @WashingtonPost: “Border apprehensions have risen every month since President Biden took office.” https://t.co/TfxdSqSDt4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

There’s no denying the #BidenBorderCrisis, but if you need more proof, the new border crossing numbers are alarming. 188,829 attempted border crossings in June – the highest number in 20 years. The Biden admin slashed effective GOP policies & now is ignoring the crisis it made. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Hit the field with former @NFL players Ken Harvey & @NFLJohnBooty to spread the word about my bill to incentivize Americans to stay active and help make it more affordable to be fit. Thanks to some great editing, I caught every pass! #PHITact #PHITfriday https://t.co/piWA5sA1j2 — PolitiTweet.org

College students, come intern with me and my team. We have openings in South Dakota and Washington. Info on how to apply for the fall session starting in September: https://t.co/mYYHEQndkU https://t.co/34e6ihoTu8 — PolitiTweet.org

Months of vilifying law enforcement officers & supporting “defund” movements have had harsh consequences. American communities are less safe today, and police are leaving the force at staggering rates – demoralized by the resentment many on the left encouraged. https://t.co/JXN6FxZrtl — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased that @USDA agreed to my request to lift the prohibition on haying & grazing of cover crops on prevented plant acres prior to November 1. I am also working to make sure USDA is doing everything it can to help producers weather this drought. https://t.co/EnR7KeUW3d — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

You can’t make this up. Texas Dems are actually playing hooky from their jobs to protest their lack of influence in Texas, while their D.C. counterparts are still advocating to end the Senate filibuster – a rule that protects the voice of political minorities. Textbook irony. https://t.co/F3vZbSvEab — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

After years of fighting for higher blends of ethanol, the court decision against the EPA E15 rule was a gut-punch. Ethanol is a win for consumers, South Dakota farmers, & the environment. I'm signing onto this bill to restore year-round E15 sales for the long haul. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Increasing the population needed to be a metropolitan area would’ve been detrimental to areas like Rapid City & potentially jeopardized their access to certain federal funds. I urged the admin to avoid this & I’m glad to see they took our guidance.  https://t.co/AvV1IYrRwv — PolitiTweet.org

Chatted with a great group of folks from Miller today, and we were lucky enough to have @SenJohnHoeven crash the party. He tried to recruit a few Bison, but I’m confident that this crew will stick with SD. https://t.co/F6K4xUPwNp — PolitiTweet.org
