You NYC/DC economic wizards can raise the minimum wage as high as you want for your residents. With a growing economy and an employment rate of 3 percent, SD doesn’t need your advice or bad economic policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Once again, the NY/DC media shows how out of touch they are with the real world. It took 5 years for me to work my way up to cook. The point is there were jobs available. With a $15 min wage, for small-town businesses in the hard-hit travel industry, there won’t be. — PolitiTweet.org

Encouraging to see other countries increase use of biofuels to lower emissions, now with the UK adopting E10 this fall, up from E5. Ethanol exports from 🇺🇸 to 🇬🇧 will further strengthen our special relationship.  https://t.co/oISfIktCl7 — PolitiTweet.org

If Dems have shown the American people anything since taking their thin majority, it’s that they're happy to take advantage of a crisis to force through their agenda w/ no bipartisan support. Spending won’t stop here. This is their 1st major bill. Imagine what’s down the road. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I pushed the @USTradeRep nominee to support mandatory country of origin labeling, expand market access, and enforce existing trade agreements. I will keep fighting for South Dakotans and a pro-growth trade policy that benefits American workers and businesses. https://t.co/hQW5NxWfey — PolitiTweet.org

Biden again asked what to cut from Dems’ giant spending bill. I offered some ideas on Tuesday, but here they are again: -$350B state/local slush fund -$86B bailout of multiemployer pensions -Post-pandemic $$ — PolitiTweet.org

Iran has repeatedly proven that it can’t be trusted. Biden must stand against Iran’s destabilizing activities/state sponsorship of terror, not grant sanctions relief that funds their malign agenda (& not repeat mistakes of Obama’s terrible nuclear deal). https://t.co/UG6gtm6o3b — PolitiTweet.org

COVID challenged our nation’s food supply chain & highlighted vulnerabilities. Viable processing facilities are few & far between, making it hard for ranchers to get meat to consumers. I just reintro’d my Strengthening Local Processing Act to help improve access to processing. — PolitiTweet.org

I started working by bussing tables at the Star Family Restaurant for $1/hour & slowly moved up to cook – the big leagues for a kid like me– to earn $6/hour. Businesses in small towns survive on narrow margins. Mandating a $15 minimum wage would put many of them out of business. https://t.co/izQDOGRAH1 — PolitiTweet.org

Less than 10% of the $1.9 trillion partisan “COVID relief” bill Democrats are pushing goes directly to combatting #COVID19. Yes, less than TEN percent. Makes you wonder where the other 90% of taxpayer dollars will be spent … Can anybody say “liberal wish list”? — PolitiTweet.org

Make no mistake – the partisan spending bill that Dems are pushing through Congress is not about helping the American people through this health crisis. 90% of the money they’re spending isn’t directly related to combating COVID. Democrats are using a pandemic for political gain. https://t.co/SO22e5y7HK — PolitiTweet.org

Non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says that 95% of the money allocated to schools in the Democrats‘ $1.9 trillion partisan spending bill wouldn’t be given to schools until 2022-2028. Hardly seems like you can call that “emergency funding.” — PolitiTweet.org

The so-called "COVID relief" bill (only 10% goes directly to COVID) being pushed through Congress by Dems would raise the minimum wage to $15/hour in all 50 states. This is BAD policy that will cost Americans 1.4 million jobs. Dems must stop pushing these job-killing policies. https://t.co/lMcGznZC6C — PolitiTweet.org

In the last National Defense Authorization Act, Congress required the Air Force to keep in place all maintenance personnel at B-1 bases. The additional resources will not only support the B-1 mission, but means that the force structure is already in place to maintain B-21s. — PolitiTweet.org

Ellsworth has retired its first B-1 bomber as the USAF prepares for the B-21 Raider. The retirements (some to recallable storage) will permit additional maintenance for remaining “Bones” to preserve a high rate of combat readiness until the B-21 arrives. https://t.co/xy1THkgLJg — PolitiTweet.org
