The page turns quickly in Washington. Less than four years ago, 26 current Democrat senators signed a letter in defense of the filibuster. Now Dems want to strip this protection from Republicans to advance bills that could never get bipartisan support. https://t.co/dmrJbfrTUi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Still true 👇🏻. The @SenateGOP majority had many opportunities to strip filibuster power from Democrats, but – despite pressure from many & frustration for ourselves – we protected the filibuster because we respect the U.S. Senate. Filibuster = more bipartisan bills & cooperation. — PolitiTweet.org

Sunday afternoons with the grands. Before the big game, I’m teaching Haven her first catch phrase, “Go Pack Go.” 🏈 https://t.co/CSYMo6rVGJ — PolitiTweet.org

What a legacy. Congratulations to my friend Tom Brokaw on his retirement after 55 years at @NBCNews. He has been a giant in journalism for as long as I can remember. Proud to have him as a friend and fellow South Dakotan. https://t.co/Mu5xDloTCl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

So proud of the over 200 members of the @SD_Guard who are in Washington protecting our democratic process. I wish it hadn’t required such robust security, but I’m grateful they answered the nation’s call. Glad for the opportunity to check in on them and thank them in person. https://t.co/SUpUJTVHBY — PolitiTweet.org

I voted in support of SECDEF nominee General Austin after a productive call with him today. On our call, we discussed the proud history and exciting future of Ellsworth AFB, especially our anticipation to host the B-21 Raider mission. Look forward to working with him. — PolitiTweet.org

Questioned @PeteButtigieg at his nomination hearing for Secretary of Transportation.  He showed an interest in working together to make additional improvements to rural and tribal infrastructure – important priorities for South Dakota and me. A good sign. https://t.co/ZtuB4EYwJN — PolitiTweet.org

Revoking permits for the Keystone XL Pipeline undercuts a serious infrastructure project, renewable energy growth, and rail relief for grain. This admin can’t ask for unity & bipartisanship one minute but continue to push bad left-wing policy the next. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Disappointing to see the new admin jump at the first opportunity to eliminate a project that provides high-paying jobs to 11,000 Americans & bolsters energy security. Blocking the Keystone XL pipeline — after years of work already put in— is a bad decision. SD delegation letter👇🏻 https://t.co/ljh9OzrFxO — PolitiTweet.org

Praying for our new president, Joe Biden, our new vice president, Kamala Harris, and our entire country on this historic day. I hope that we can find common ground in the years ahead and work toward an even stronger future for the country and South Dakota. #Inauguration2021 — PolitiTweet.org

Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy stands tall in our country’s history. He helped lead our nation toward a better future. Today, we remember him and everything he stood for. https://t.co/DgIC1rjXmy #MLKDay — PolitiTweet.org

Tragic to see the grass fires near Lemmon, Lake Oahe & Pine Ridge. Thousands of acres already burned. My thoughts are with South Dakotans who’ve had their property damaged & lives upturned. Please join me in praying for them & the brave firefighters who are battling these fires. — PolitiTweet.org

More help is here for businesses still struggling from #COVID. Many community banks and credit unions can start accepting applications for #PPP round two today. This program has been a lifeline for business owners & small biz employees. — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley & I are heartbroken to learn that a U.S. Capitol Police officer has died heroically defending the Capitol against despicable violence. We're praying for the officer’s family & for all the members of the @CapitolPolice, who are mourning the loss of their fellow officer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Today has been a sad day for America. The violent behavior at the Capitol is inexcusable and disgusting, but we won’t be deterred from our Constitutional duty. We need to work together to protect our democracy. Please pray for our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress has finally passed a targeted COVID bill to give much-needed relief to Americans who've shouldered the weight of this pandemic & provide more vaccine resources. This deal comes at a critical time as vaccines are being distributed. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

This is a hopeful week for America 🇺🇸. Americans are already being vaccinated with the safe & effective COVID vaccine & now we have a deal on a relief bill to help those who are struggling because of this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

We must be clear-eyed about the volume and severity of threats we face in this domain, understand the imperative of having secure systems, make every effort to defend against and deter cyberattacks, and then hold attackers accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Earlier this week I joined several of my Senate colleagues in a letter to @FBI & @CISAgov requesting preliminary info on the brazen cyberattack against multiple government agencies, which has been attributed to Russia. https://t.co/tBxbMMIFIf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

The COVID vaccine was authorized 5 times faster than any vaccine in history. It's critical that resources are in place to distribute this life-saving vaccine. There's bipartisan support for targeted relief. Now, we'll see if Dem leadership will let something pass. I'm hopeful. https://t.co/Wukud9WUlR — PolitiTweet.org

When it’s my turn in line, I will get the COVID vaccine. I will get it for my own health and for the health of my family, friends, & the many great South Dakotans with whom I work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Great to see. We are thankful to our health care heroes for their service during this pandemic. It has not been easy. It’s only right that they are first in line for the COVID vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

First, ethanol helped meet the skyrocketing demand for hand sanitizer. Now, it can provide much-needed dry ice for safely shipping the COVID-19 vaccine. With the drop in fuel demand, though, plants are still struggling—limiting this CO2 byproduct.   https://t.co/u1bLHuf7nw — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see the outpouring of support for Kevin Scott’s election as president of @ASA_Soybeans. I look forward to working with him on behalf of soybean producers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Thanks to advanced planning, Americans are already getting vaccinated. This is a huge step toward getting our lives back to normal & rebuilding the great economy we had before COVID. — PolitiTweet.org
