Great tour of @RiddlesJewelry store & factory in Rapid City. They're experiencing record sales but are having trouble finding workers. South Dakota unemployment is the lowest in the USA – a great thing that can create challenges for employers in a tight job market. https://t.co/L2Z74lpON7 — PolitiTweet.org

Sat down with SD Stockgrowers in Rapid City today to get their insight & feedback on the current state of our ag industry. Agriculture is the lifeblood of South Dakota, and it’s always at the top of my mind for my work in Washington. https://t.co/6CV0qrsecy — PolitiTweet.org

The scale of Hamas’ attack against Israel from Gaza suggests significant support from Iran. Under no circumstances should the Biden administration negotiate w/ Iran to restore the failed nuclear deal. Providing sanctions relief is equivalent to sending more rockets to Hamas. https://t.co/ewPZ3LURl6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Iran helps fund the Palestinian terrorist group that has launched more than 1,000 rockets targeting Israeli civilians & cities. Biden admin shouldn't be considering easing sanctions while Iran is supporting terrorist activity against America’s closest ally in the region: Israel — PolitiTweet.org

Daktronics has an awesome story of SD-grown success. A company that started in a South Dakota professor’s garage now lights stadiums and cities across the world. Great article 👇🏻 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

South Dakota made the right call by soon ending the Democrats’ extra $300 in unemployment benefits. We have one of the strongest workforces in America. For those who are still unemployed, we need to incentivize them to find a job, and the Democrats' policy did just the opposite. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden’s energy secretary @SecGranholm said at a White House briefing that “pipeline is the best way to go” for transporting fuel. It shouldn’t take a hack/shutdown for this admin to recognize the importance of modern infrastructure like #KeystoneXL to ensure U.S. energy security. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Dems' election bill is chock-full of unwise policies that put ridiculous federal mandates on states like South Dakota that already have well-run election systems. One example, it actually *bans* states from requiring an ID to vote. It's not good policy. It's a power grab. https://t.co/p0W9cz5Z14 — PolitiTweet.org

I'm hearing the same thing from small businesses in South Dakota. They have job openings and are offering competitive wages and even some bonus benefits, but they just can't find workers because of unemployment benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s BLS report showed there were 8.1 million job openings in March, so why were only 266,000 new jobs added in April? Because many Americans are earning more on unemployment than they could in the workforce. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

You don't need an economics degree to figure this one out. Job openings are there, but Americans are discouraged from getting a job when they're making more on unemployment. Republicans warned this would happen, but Ds still demanded the federal govt plus-up states’ UI benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Israel has the complete right to defend itself from Hamas rocket attacks. Palestinians in Gaza must reject the futile terrorist cause of Hamas, which continues to block peace for this & future generations. I hope we see an immediate de-escalation, especially at religious sites. — PolitiTweet.org

With all our love on Mother’s Day to a wonderful mom and grandma. Thank you for all you do to bless us every day and for your faithful example of Godly character. Happy Mother’s Day Kimberley! ❤️ #Kiki https://t.co/gBBZbXZfWZ — PolitiTweet.org

What an honor to be a part of celebrating @SoutheastTechSD’s class of 2021 (plus a few students from the class of 2020). Couldn’t be more proud of everything these young South Dakotans have already achieved. I urged them to build character & pursue excellence. I know they will. https://t.co/UZ65eJ0B06 — PolitiTweet.org

If you need proof that Democrats’ “throw money at the problem” policies don’t work, look no further than this morning’s jobs report. American ingenuity, hard work, and enterprise drive the economy, not big government spending & handouts. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

The jobs report was so bad this morning @steveliesman @CNBC couldn’t believe what he was reading. Dow Jones estimated 1 million new jobs. The reality was 266K. That’s more than disappointing. It’s abysmal. And it’s a direct reflection of Democrats’ completely misguided policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks @SD_guard 842nd Engineer Co. & @SDGameFishParks for building a safe new observation deck at Bear Butte. Great collaboration to ensure continued access to this geologic landmark + religious site. https://t.co/aMwRc7V3zF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Sat down with leadership at @DevelopSF & @GreaterSFCC to discuss how I can help them support and grow business in Sioux Falls. We covered everything from workforce shortages to my efforts to expand broadband and 5G technology. Appreciate their time & updates. https://t.co/XS2rqI6H2x — PolitiTweet.org

RT @RepDustyJohnson: Nearly 135,000 South Dakotans don’t have access to reliable broadband. That’s why businesses like Tower Systems are so… — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to Chris and Jason Sylte for hosting a meeting with Ipswich community leaders at Sylte Farms. And to Mike Hammrich for the informative City Council Update. https://t.co/xzIUY9tud9 — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to say I was able to live up to the challenge from kids at the Ipswich Tiger Post to jump as high as the ceiling⛹️‍♂️. And proud to see them practicing the Pledge of Allegiance – a tradition I remember from growing up & one that should continue at schools across the country. https://t.co/pHQql7qAeA — PolitiTweet.org
